1 Before You Begin

This section includes the following topics:

For information on the expertise required to install Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub, see "Audience".

1.1 Check for the Most Recent Information

It is critical that you check that you have the most current information before you begin the installation process.

  • Latest Release Notes. Check for the most recent version of the release notes, which are posted on My Oracle Support with article ID 2383498.1.

  • Latest Installation Guide. Check http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/hsgbu-clinical-407519.html for the most recent version of the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Installation Guide.

  • Known Installation and Configuration Issues. For up-to-date information, see My Oracle Support article 1138053.1.

  • Latest Critical Patch Updates and Technology Stack Updates. Check My Oracle Support article 180430.1, Oracle Health Sciences Applications Supported Technology Stack, for the latest quarterly Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) certified with Oracle LSH, and apply it. This patch includes security fixes and should always be up to date.

  • Installation Verification. After you have installed Oracle LSH, see My Oracle Support article 1063225.1, Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Installation Verification Test (also called the "smoke test") to verify that all basic features are functioning properly.

  • Check the Oracle LSH Product Information Page on My Oracle Support for the latest information; see article ID 1318219.1

1.2 Get Your Company ID from Oracle

When you install the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub, you will need to enter a parameter value for company ID. The company ID serves as part of the primary key for all the Oracle LSH objects you define in this instance of Oracle LSH. If your company ever merges with another company and your Oracle LSH data and metadata are merged with the other company's, the company ID distinguishes the objects created in each original company and prevents duplicate object primary keys.

In order to ensure that you have a unique number relative to other Oracle LSH customers, Oracle recommends that you use a number assigned to you by Oracle. Company IDs are tracked in an Oracle bug that is not publicly viewable. Contact Oracle Support or ask your consultant to reserve a range of ten numbers for your company. You can use these numbers for:

  • Your company ID. If you have multiple instances of Oracle LSH, Oracle recommends using a different company ID for each instance.

  • The tech type ID of any adapters your company may create.

1.3 Assemble the Software

Note:

It is important to get the technology stack product versions mentioned in this document because, although newer versions of the technology stack products may have become available, they may not be compatible with Oracle LSH.

1.3.1 Get the Oracle Life Sciences Warehouse 2.4 Media Pack

Oracle LSH 2.4, Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench, and their technology stacks are contained on the Oracle Life Sciences Warehouse 2.4 media pack for various platforms.
