    • oats-win32-openscript-quick-install-version.zip: Oracle OpenScript only installation.

    • oats-docs-version.zip: Oracle Application Testing Suite documentation PDF files.

  2. Unzip the downloaded file and run the setup.bat file for Oracle Application Testing Suite. Run install-openscript.bat to run the OpenScript only installation. The OpenScript only installer does not support "upgrade" installation (i.e. installing "over" a previous install). In order to reinstall OpenScript only, you must first uninstall any existing OpenScript installation. See Uninstalling the Applications from Windows Machines and Step 4: Remove Environment Variable and Browser Properties File for additional information.

    Note:

    Important: Windows Vista, 2008 or Windows 7 users, select Run as Administrator from the right-click shortcut menu. This is required process for the Operating Systems that have User Account Control (UAC) enabled.
  3. Follow the setup instructions to install the Oracle Application Testing Suite or Oracle OpenScript only application.

    During the installation for Oracle Application Testing Suite you will be asked to provide a master password. Remember this password. The master password specified during installation is used to set all of the following user passwords:

    • Oracle Test Manager users "default" and "administrator".

    • Oracle Load Testing users "default" and "administrator".

    • User "JMSAdmin" used for Oracle Load Testing agent to controller authentication.

    • User "oats" for Weblogic Server - this is a Weblogic superuser.

    • User "oats-agent" in Weblogic Server for JMS communication between agent and controller - this is not a Weblogic superuser.

    • Database users "oats", "olt", "otm".

    • Database users (XE's defaults) "system" or "sys".

Notes:

When installing Oracle Application Testing Suite server components on a machine that:
  1. has no previous version of Oracle Application Testing Suite installed, AND

  2. has Oracle Enterprise Edition database installed,

make sure to choose the "Custom Installation" option and specify the connection credentials for your Oracle Enterprise Edition database. If you choose "Complete Installation", Oracle Application Testing Suite will install Oracle XE database, which may not run properly alongside Oracle Enterprise Edition database on the same machine.

If you install Oracle Database 12c before installing Oracle Application Testing Suite, you must clear the "Create a Container Database" option (which is selected by default) in the Oracle Universal Installer. If you install Oracle Database 12c with the "Create a Container Database" option setting enabled, the Oracle Application Testing Suite installation fails with the error "invalid common user or role name Exception in thread Main Thread". However, if you install Oracle Database 12c with the "Create a Container Database" option disabled, Oracle Application Testing Suite can be installed successfully. Oracle Application Testing Suite does not support the new "multitenant container database" feature which was introduced in Oracle Database 12c.

When upgrading Oracle Application Testing Suite from a previous version, the installation process may display a Confirm message indicating the Oracle Test Manager schema is an older version and must be upgraded to the latest version. The message recommends making a backup of the schema and requires you to select the I have a backup of the schema I am about to upgrade checkbox before proceeding.

If you do not have a backup of the schema click No to exit the installation and make a backup of the schema before proceeding. See the "Exporting and Importing Databases" section of the Configuring Databases chapter of the Oracle Test Manager User's Guide or online help for information about backing up the database.

If you do have a backup of the schema, select the I have a backup of the schema I am about to upgrade checkbox and click Yes to proceed with the installation. If the upgrade procedure detects any problems with the database (such as duplicate records or incorrect sequence values) it will automatically correct the problems.

Manually Configuring the Installation

The above installation procedure for Oracle Application Testing Suite setup.bat in oats-full-version.zip installs the applications, database, and Web server. If during the installation procedure you select the Do nothing, I will configure Oracle Application Testing Suite later (advanced) option you will need to manually create the database schema.

If there is no database installed and you will not be using a remote database, you will need to install Oracle XE or EE on the local machine. Install an Oracle Database or acquire the hostname, port, instance, and credentials for an existing one.

If WebLogic Server is not installed on the local machine, you must download Weblogic 11gR1P2 (10.3.5) from download.oracle.com and install it. Install Weblogic 11gR1P2 (10.3.5) on your local machine or acquire the location on your local machine of a Weblogic instance of the same version.

To manually configure Weblogic and create the database schema:

  1. Create the following environment variables:

    WL_HOME=The location of your Weblogic home (typically C:\Oracle\Middleware\wls if it was installed with default options).

    MW_HOME=The location of your Weblogic root folder (typically C:\Oracle\Middleware if it was installed with default options).

    WLS_PW=Your master password. This will be used to set your admin password for Weblogic, as well as to create your Default and Administrator accounts in Oracle Load Testing and Oracle Test Manager.

    DB_HOST=The location of your database.

    DB_NAME=The name of the database that Oracle Application Testing Suite will use. For XE installations, the name is typically XE. For EE installation this will depend on your installation settings.

    DB_PORT=The port of your database (typically 1521).

    DB_USER=The admin user of your database (typically "system"),

    DB_PASS=The password of the database user.

    DB_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//<hostname>:<port>/<servicename>

  2. Run <installdir>\bin\install.bat. This will delete your previous OATS domain, if any, and recreate it. (If the install is fresh you do not need to run this .bat file.)

  3. Change to directory %OATS_HOME%\bin and issue the following commands (in order):

    initConfig
    dbsetup
    config_ds
    unpack
    storeUser
    installSvc
    restartSvc "OracleATSServer"
    deploy %OATS_HOME%\install\oats.ear 
    config_sec 
    
  4. Validate your installation by going to http://localhost:8088/olt and verify that you can successfully login (i.e. with credentials Default/master password) and use the product.

Uninstalling the Applications from Windows Machines

To uninstall the Oracle Application Testing Suite applications:

  1. Select Uninstall Oracle Application Testing Suite from the Oracle Application Testing Suite Start menu.

Installing the Applications on Linux Machines

Oracle Application Testing Suite server components (Oracle Load Test/Oracle Test Manager) and Agent components (Oracle Load Test agent/Data Collector) can be installed on Linux via a separate installer; however Oracle OpenScript is Windows only. Oracle Application Testing Suite components have been tested with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1 64 bit, 5.2 64 bit, 4u8 64 bit. Note that Data Sources (Perfmon, Ping, COM+, and the SSH version of Virtual Agent) cannot be used on a Linux Data Collector.

The Oracle Application Testing Suite Linux installer is based on the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) which requires UI based access. To install the Oracle Application Testing Suite server components on Linux you will need to access XTerm. XTerm, most typically, can be accessed over VNC.

Installing Oracle XE or EE Database

The Oracle Application Testing Suite installer requires a working instance of Oracle XE or Oracle EE database. If you have not installed and configured an Oracle XE or Oracle EE database, install and configure an Oracle XE or EE database before installing the Oracle Application Testing Suite server components.

Note:

See the Oracle® Database Installation Guide <Release> for Linux in the Oracle Database Documentation Library for additional information about installing Oracle EE databases.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html

To install an Oracle XE database:

  1. Open a terminal window and install XE database, as follows:

    sudo rpm -ivh downloads/oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm 
    

    A progress bar displays during the installation which is followed by the final message: You must run '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database.

  2. Configure the database, as follows:

    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure 
    
  3. When prompted, enter a password for database accounts. Enter: oracle.

  4. For the remainder of the configuration, click Enter to accept the default values for most common use-cases.

Uninstalling the Applications from Linux Machines

To uninstall the Oracle Application Testing Suite server components or remote agent:

  1. Run the setup.sh file to start the GUI installation for the Oracle Application Testing Suite.

    sh setup.sh
    

    You cannot uninstall Oracle Application Testing Suite as root, so do not use sudo sh setup.sh.

  2. Follow the screen instructions for uninstalling the server components or remote agent.

Installing the Oracle Load Testing Remote Agent

Oracle Load Testing allows you to distribute your Virtual Users to run from remote Agent machines. The Oracle Load Testing Server will connect to Oracle Load Testing Agent systems to start and run your Virtual Users on those machines. The Oracle Application Testing Suite Remote Agent is a component of the Oracle Application Testing Suite installation that enables Virtual Users to be distributed to these Agent systems. Users can either install the full Oracle Application Testing Suite installation or just the Remote Agent install component on their Agent machines to enable this functionality.

Installing the Remote Agent

To install the Remote agent:

  1. Download the appropriate .zip file from the download Web site:

    • For Windows agents, use oats-full-version.zip and run setup.bat.

    • For Linux agents, use oats-linux64-full-version.zip for 64-bit and run setup.sh. See Installing the Applications on Linux Machines for additional information.

  2. Unzip the downloaded file and run the installation file.

  3. Follow the setup instructions to install just the Remote Agent software.

  4. Verify network access from the Controller workstation to the Agent workstations and configure the Agent Workstations as explained in the following section.

Configure Remote Agent Service Login

To specify the user login for the Oracle Load Testing Agent Service, open the Services control panel on the Agent machine and change the login credentials for the "Oracle Load Testing Agent Service". By default, the Oracle Load Testing Agent Service will run under the Local System account.

Verify Network Access to Agent Systems

Once you have the Oracle Load Testing Server and Agent software installed on the individual systems, you should verify network access between the Oracle Load Testing Server system and each Remote Agent system. This section provides basic tips and techniques to make sure the Oracle Load Testing Server system can successfully communicate with each Remote Agent system.

  • Make sure that you have the Oracle Load Testing Agent software loaded on the Agent system(s) and that it is the same version as the Oracle Application Testing Suite software that is loaded on the Oracle Load Testing Server system. The systems you plan to use as Agents must have either the Oracle Load Testing Agent software or the full Oracle Application Testing Suite installed to work as agents.

  • Make sure you can successfully Ping all of the Agent systems from the Oracle Load Testing Server system. The machine names you use to Ping the systems are the same names that you will specify for the Agent systems in the Oracle Load Testing server. You can also use the IP addresses of the agent systems. If you cannot successfully Ping the Agent systems, contact your network administrator to resolve the issue. If you cannot Ping the Agent systems from the Oracle Load Testing Server system, you will not be able to run the Agents from the server.

  • Make sure that the same user is logged in on both the Oracle Load Testing server system and all of the Agent systems. All of the Agent systems must have a user logged in to be controlled by the Oracle Load Testing Server system. You may be able to log in as a different user on the Agent systems as long as the user login has the same administrative privileges as the user logged in on the server system.

  • From the server system, try mapping a drive on each of the Agent systems using Windows Explorer. Depending on how your network is setup, the server system may not be allowed to start up processes on the Agent systems. The easiest way around this is to map a drive to the Agent system in order to authenticate with Windows.

  • In the Oracle Load Testing server add a Visual Script to the Scenario Profiles list. Enter the machine name or IP address of the Agent system where you want to run the Visual Script into the Systems Manager and select that machine in the Systems field on the Build Scenario tab of Oracle Load Testing.

Preparing for a "Clean" Installation

In some cases, you may want to prepare a system for "Clean" installation of the Oracle Application Testing Suite product. This may be required in the following cases:

  • There is a previous beta version of the Oracle Application Testing Suite product installed on the system.

  • It is necessary to downgrade the product from a newer version.

  • An installation failure occurred for some reason and it is necessary to clean the environment to a fresh start.

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions to perform a clean installation of the Oracle Application Testing Suite product on your system.
