3.2 Installing EDQP in Console Mode

After starting the installation program, follow these steps to complete the installation:

  1. At the JDK directory prompt, press Enter to use the displayed default JDK directory location or enter the directory you installed your JDK in.

    Will this be a full installation ( including the WebLogic Server)? [Y/N]: (Y)
    
  2. Enter Y if you want to install EDQP and WebLogic Server or N to install EDQP only. You should only answer N if you have already installed WebLogic Server.

    On Linux and UNIX:

    Please enter the path to the Weblogic installation jar file: ( /opt/edqp_install/edqp/Disk1/wls1036_generic.jar)
    

    On Windows:

    Please enter the path to the Weblogic installation jar file: ( Please enter the path to the WLS installation Jar file:  (C:\edqp_install\edqp\Disk1\wls1036_generic.jar)
    
  3. Press Enter to use the displayed default installation directory location or enter the full path of the directory you copied the wls1036_generic.jar file into (for example, /scratch/installs/wls1036_generic.jar.)

    The default installation directories that this file may be in are:

    On Linux and UNIX: /opt/edqp_install/edqp/Disk1

    On Windows: C:\edqp_install\edqp\Disk1

    See Section 2.3.4, "Downloading the WebLogic Server Installer From Oracle E-Delivery".

    On Linux and UNIX:

    Please enter the location for the new WLS Middleware home directory: (/opt/Oracle/Middleware)
    

    On Windows:

    Please enter the location for the new WLS Middleware home directory: (C:\Oracle\Middleware)
    
  4. Enter the Middleware home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all Fusion Middleware products (including WebLogic Server) installed on the target system. See Section 2.4, "Selecting Directories for Installation".

    If you specify a directory that does not exist, the installation program creates it for you.

    Please enter the name of the new WLS Administrator: (dlsadmin)
    
  5. Press Enter to use the recommended WebLogic domain administrator name, dlsadmin, or enter a name and press Enter. See Section 2.3.2, "Establishing the Required User Accounts".

    Please enter a password for the new WLS Administrator (dlsadmin1)
    
  6. Press Enter to use the recommended WebLogic domain administrator password, dlsadmin1, or enter a password and press Enter. The password must be at least eight characters.

    Will this be an EDQP Admin Server or EDQP Transform Server Installation?[A/T] (A)
    
  7. Specify the type of server you want to install, an A for Administration Server or T for a Transform Server, and press Enter.

    The following additional steps occur when you are installing a Transform Server:

    This Transform server should be added to a server group in the server topology before continuing with the install.
    Continue with the installation? [Y/N]: (Y) 
    
    1. Ensure that you have added the Transform Server you want to install to a server group so that communication between it and an Administration Server can be established during installation. See Oracle Enterprise Data Quality for Product Data Oracle DataLens Server Administration Guide.

    2. Enter Y and press Enter to continue the installation.

      The EDQP Transform Server needs to communicate with the datasource on the EDQP Admin Server.
      Please enter the hostname of the Admin Server: (myexample.com)
      
    3. Enter the fully qualified host name or the IP of the Oracle DataLens Administration Server that this Transform Server will communicate with.

    Please enter the port number to use for the new WLS domain:  (2229)
    
  8. Press Enter to use the default port, 2229, or enter the port number for your Oracle DataLens Server to listen and press Enter. The port must be between 1024 and 65536.

    On Linux and UNIX:

    The Max Heap space should be set to a max of 80% of the physical memory
    Please enter the maxheap size (in Mb):
    

    On Windows:

    The Max Heap space should be set to a max of 80% of the physical memory (6494)
    Please enter the maxheap size (in Mb):  (2048)
    The Max Heap space should be set to a max of 80% of the physical memory (12720) 
    Enter the desired memory allocation or to allocate the recommended 80% enter
    the calculated amount. The installation will not proceed if the memory 
    allocation is greater than 80% (in Mb):  (2048)
    

    For maximum performance of both the Oracle DataLens Server and the WebLogic server, you should calculate what 80% of your total physical server memory is so that it can be correctly set. When installing on Windows, this value is calculated, as in the preceding example, and should be used; no memory calculations are made on Linux or UNIX.

  9. Enter the server memory calculation and press Enter or on Windows simply press Enter.

    The installation begins and runs as a background process. On all platforms you must allow the installation session to continue to completion.

    Note:

    It is normal for the installation program to pause for a long time, especially toward the end. The installation program is still working while this occurs.

    After the installation completes, the following message is displayed:

    On Linux and UNIX:

    You are returned to your operating system prompt once the installation completes.

    On Windows:

    Run the following script to start the domain.C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\dls_domain\bin\startWebLogic.cmd
    
    Finished the Oracle Enterprise Data Quality for Products 11.1.1.6 Installation.(Enter to Exit)
    
  10. Press Enter to exit the installer.

  11. Start your WebLogic Server EDQP domain (the default is dls_domain) using one of the following where dls_domain is the name of your EDQP domain:

    On Linux and UNIX:

    cd /MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/dls_domain/bin/

    nohup ./startWeblogic.sh &

    On Windows:

    cd \MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\dls_domain\bin\

    startWeblogic.cmd

3.3 Verifying the Installation

This section describes how to verify your Oracle DataLens Server installation and is applicable to all operating systems.

Verify that the server is up and running correctly:

  1. Open one of the supported web browsers for your environment.

  2. Enter the following URL:

    http://hostname:port/datalens

    where hostname is the DNS name or IP address of the Administration Server and port is the listen port on which the Administration Server is listening for requests (port 2229 by default).

    If you configured the Administration Server to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) you must add s after http as follows:

    https://hostname:port/datalens

  3. When the login page appears, enter a user name and the password. This is the user name and password you specified during the installation process.

    The Oracle DataLens Server web pages are displayed and default to the Welcome tab.

    If your browser displays, ”The page cannot be displayed”, then the problem could be one of the following:

    • The WebLogic domain has not been started.

    • The Oracle DataLens Server repository was removed or corrupted.

  4. Click the Administration tab.

    Surrounding text describes homepg.png.
  5. Ensure that the Oracle DataLens Server configuration parameters on the Oracle DataLens Administration Server home page are correct. The JSP Server indicates the version of WebLogic Server that is installed.

  6. (Optional) From the Admin Dashboard panel, click Admin Log and review the Administration Server log file to verify that the server started with no errors.

    If no server startup errors have been recorded, then the Oracle DataLens Administration Server installation was successful. For more information about the Oracle DataLens Administration web page, see the Oracle Enterprise Data Quality for Product Data Oracle DataLens Server Administration Guide.

Note:

Any known installation issues are detailed in "Known Issues".

3.4 Performing Post-Installation Steps

This section describes the post-installation steps necessary to completing your EDQP installation.

To avoid any issues with long running processing jobs or checking in large packages, the following post-installation steps must be performed to modify the WebLogic Server environment settings.

  1. Ensure that your WebLogic Server is running on your Oracle DataLens Administration Server.

  2. Open a supported web browser and enter the following URL:

    http://hostname:port/console

    where hostname is the DNS name or IP address of the Oracle DataLens Administration Server and port is the listen port on which the server is listening for requests (port 2229 by default).

    If you configured the Oracle DataLens Administration Server to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) you must add s after http as follows:

    https://hostname:port/console

  3. When the login page appears, enter the user name and the password you used to start the server, and then click Login.

    Your WebLogic Administration Console log in web page is displayed.

  4. In the Domain Structure panel for your EDQP domain (dls_domain is the default), click Deployments.

  5. In the Deployments table, click the oracle-edqp link, and then click the Configuration tab.

  6. Enter 3600 in the Session Timeout (in seconds) field, and then click Save.

  7. Click OK to save this change to the deployment plane.

  8. If you are running EDQP in an integrated Fusion PIM environment with EDQP hosted in a Fusion WebLogic Server domain continue to step12; do not perform these post-installation steps. The domain thread timeout parameters are optimized by the Fusion PIM installation and configuration.

    For all other environments, in the Domain Structure panel for your EDQP domain (dls_domain is the default), expand Environment then click Servers.

  9. Click the AdminServer(admin) Server Name link to open the settings for the EDQP domain.

  10. Select the Tuning tab. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) at

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e13952/taskhelp/tuning/TuningExecuteThreads.html

  11. Enter 3600 in the Stuck Thread Max Time field, and then click Save.

  12. Stop your WebLogic Server. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) at

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e13952/taskhelp/startstop/StartAndStopServers.html

  13. Start your WebLogic Server. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) at

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e13952/taskhelp/startstop/StartAndStopServers.html

  14. (Optional) Log out of your WebLogic Administration Console.

  15. Ensure that you have configured a network shared disk space that all of your Oracle DataLens Servers, both Administration and Transform, can access. Your input text data files to the data quality process should be stored in this shared disk space and be referenced by all servers. You should configure your DSAs to store results files in this same space.

3.5 Uninstalling Your Software in Console Mode

The following sections describe how to uninstall your software or individual components on Linux, Windows, and UNIX systems.
