2 Installing the Software

This chapter describes how to install the software required for Identity Management Provisioning.

This chapter contains the following topics:

• Section 2.1, "Installing the Identity Management Provisioning Tools"

• Section 2.2, "Verifying Java and Ant"

• Section 2.3, "Installing the Database"

• Section 2.4, "Preparing the Database for Repository Creation Utility (RCU)"

• Section 2.5, "Running Oracle Identity Management Repository Creation Utility (Oracle Identity Management RCU)"

• Section 2.6, "Installing the Identity Management Lifecycle Tools"

2.1 Installing the Identity Management Provisioning Tools

The Identity Management Provisioning tools share a repository with the Oracle Fusion Applications Provisioning tools.

The software required by Oracle Identity Management is located in the Oracle Fusion Applications repository. If you have not already done so then you need to create an Oracle Fusion Applications provisioning repository as described in "Creating the Provisioning Repository" in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide.

2.2 Verifying Java and Ant

Make sure that your Provisioning Repository contains Java and Ant. Java should reside in a directory called jdk6. Ant should reside in a directory called ant. The paths should be:

On UNIX

repository_location/jdk6
repository_location/provisioning/ant

On Windows

repository_location\jdk6
repository_location\provisioning\ant

2.3 Installing the Database

Install and configure the Oracle Database, as described in "RCU System and Database Requirements" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide. Use Oracle Database 11.2.0.3.0 or newer.

2.4 Preparing the Database for Repository Creation Utility (RCU)

To prepare the Oracle Database, follow the instructions in the section "RCU Requirements for Oracle Databases" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications.

On UNIX, execute the following commands to create XATRANS Views:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
sqlplus / as sysdba
@xaview.sql

On Windows, the commands are:

cd %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\admin
sqlplus / as sysdba
@xaview.sql

2.5 Running Oracle Identity Management Repository Creation Utility (Oracle Identity Management RCU)

Unzip the RCU zip file repository_location/installers/fmw_rcu/linux/rcuHome.zip (on Linux) or repository_location/installers/fmw_rcu/windows/rcuHome.zip (on Windows) to:

repository_location/installers/rcu

where repository_location is the Oracle Fusion Applications provisioning repository, as described in "Creating the Provisioning Repository" in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide.

Use the Identity Management version of RCU, which now exists in that directory.

The Identity Management RCU needs to be set up for the following components: ODS, OIF, OIM, OAM. You must use FA as the prefix for the schema names.

Optionally, you can use two database instances for Identity Management. If you do this, install ODS in one database instance and other components in the second database instance

You must select a single password for all the schema while running the RCU.

Note:

The Oracle Identity Management RCU is available only on Windows and Linux platforms. For other platforms, such as Solaris and AIX, you must install and run the Oracle Identity Management RCU from a Windows or Linux machine.

For more information about RCU, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide.

2.6 Installing the Identity Management Lifecycle Tools

The Identity Management Provisioning Wizard is a component of the Identity Management Lifecycle Tools, which also includes the Identity Management Patching Framework. You must install the tools by running an installer, which is located in the provisioning repository. In a multi-host environment, the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard must be visible to each host in the topology. The wizard is only required during the provisioning process, and can be removed after provisioning.

The installation script for the Identity Management Lifecycle Tools resides in the directory:

repository_location/installers/idmlcm/idmlcm/Disk1

where repository_location is the Oracle Fusion Applications provisioning repository, as described in "Creating the Provisioning Repository" in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide

To begin installing the tools, change to that directory and start the script.

On UNIX:

cd repository_location/installers/idmlcm/idmlcm/Disk1
./runInstaller -jreLoc repository_location/jdk6

On Windows:

cd repository_location\installers\idmlcm\idmlcm\Disk1
setup.exe -jreLoc repository_location\jdk6

Then proceed as follows:

1. On the Welcome page, click Next.

2. If you are running on a UNIX platform, and you have not previously installed an Oracle product on this host, you might be presented with the Specify Inventory Directory page, which prompts you for the location of the Inventory Directory. This directory is used to keep track of all Oracle products installed on this host. If you see this page, proceed as follows:

   In the Operating System Group ID field, select the group whose members you want to grant access to the inventory directory. All members of this group can install products on this host. Click OK to continue.

   The Inventory Location Confirmation dialog prompts you to run the inventory_directory/createCentralInventory.sh script as root to create the /etc/oraInst.loc file. This file is a pointer to the central inventory and must be present for silent installations. It contains two lines:

   inventory_loc=path_to_central_inventory

   inst_group=install_group

   The standard location for this file is /etc/oraInst.loc, but it can be created anywhere. If you create it in a directory other than /etc, you must include the -invPtrLoc argument and enter the location of the inventory when you run the Identity ManagementProvisioningWizard or the runIdentity ManagementProvisioning script.

   If you do not have root access on this host but want to continue with the provisioning, select Continue installation with local inventory.

   Click OK to continue.

3. On the Prerequisite Checks page, verify that checks complete successfully, then click Next.

4. On the Specify Install Location page, enter the following information:

   1. Oracle Middleware Home - This is the parent directory of the directory where the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard will be installed. In a multi-host Identity Management environment, this must be on shared storage. for example:

      /u01/tools

   2. Oracle Home Directory - This is a subdirectory of the Oracle Middleware Home directory where the wizard will be installed. For example:

      idmlcm

      In the current guide, this subdirectory is referred to as IDMLCM_HOME.

   Click Next.

5. On the Installation Summary page, click Install.

6. On the Installation Progress page, click Next.

7. On the Installation Complete page, click Finish.
