Prerequisites

This guide assumes the following:

You have a basic understanding of database and network concepts.
Your system hardware is set up.

Intended Audience

This guide is necessary for anyone who wants to deploy a new Oracle Collaboration Suite CC.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For additional information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at

Accessibility of Code Examples in Documentation

JAWS, a Windows screen reader, may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise empty line; however, JAWS may not always read a line of text that consists solely of a bracket or brace.

Accessibility of Links to External Web Sites in Documentation

This documentation may contain links to Web sites of other companies or organizations that Oracle does not own or control. Oracle neither evaluates nor makes any representations regarding the accessibility of these Web sites.

Conventions

`monospace`	Monospace type indicates UNIX commands, directory names, usernames, pathnames, and filenames.
bold	Bold type indicates buttons and selections in windows and screens.
italics	Italic type indicates a variable, including variable portions of filenames. It is also used for emphasis and to indicate names of windows and screens.
UPPERCASE	Uppercase letters indicate Structured Query Language (SQL) reserved words, initialization parameters, and environment variables.

Command Syntax

UNIX command syntax appears in monospace font and assumes the use of the Bourne shell. The "$" character at the beginning of UNIX command examples should not be entered at the prompt. Because UNIX is case-sensitive, conventions in this document may differ from those used in other Oracle documentation.

backslash \	A backslash indicates a command that is too long to fit on a single line. Enter the line as printed (with a backslash) or enter it as a single line without a backslash: `dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s6 of=/dev/rst0 bs=10b \ count=10000`
braces { }	Braces indicate required items: `.DEFINE {macro1}`
brackets [ ]	Brackets indicate optional items: `cvtcrt` termname `[`outfile`]` Note that brackets have a different meaning when used in regular text.
ellipses ...	Ellipses indicate an arbitrary number of similar items: `CHKVAL fieldname` `value1 value2 ... valueN`
italics	Italic type indicates a variable. Substitute a value for the variable: `library_name`
vertical line \|	A vertical line indicates a choice within braces or brackets: `SIZE filesize [K\|M]`
