6 Installation and Configuration of Oracle9iAS CC Release 9.0.3 Using the Gold Image

This release of Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration (Oracle9iAS CC) only supports Oracle9i Application Server release 9.0.3 installation and configuration from the Gold Image.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Access to the Gold Image
Installing Oracle9i Application Server Release 9.0.3
Configuring Oracle9i Application Server Release 9.0.3

Access to the Gold Image

Before installing using the Gold Image, you must make the Gold Image stage area accessible on your system. You can mount the Gold Image stage area from a remote machine using NFS, or copied onto the local machine and extracted in the location described below.

Oracle9iAS CC expects the Gold Image stage area to be made available in the /stage/ias902 directory. If you want to put the Gold Image in another directory, you must set the CC_STAGE_AREA environment variable to that location, as follows:

# CC_STAGE_AREA=/mystage/gold
# export CC_STAGE_AREA

J2EE 903

Use the following steps to create a J2EE 903 Gold Image from CD-ROMs:

Copy the following files from respective CD-ROMs to $CC_STAGE_AREA or /stage/ias902 (make sure you have enough space):
```
CD1 : ias903cc_j2eewc_noinfra_solaris_images.tar
```
Run one of the following commands:
- cd $CC_STAGE_AREA
- cd /stage/ias902
Run the following commands to create the J2EE 903 Gold Image:
```
> tar -xvf ias902cc_j2eewc_noinfra_solaris_images.tar
```

Installing Oracle9i Application Server Release 9.0.3

Install components on the single-tier using the following:

Log in as the root user.
Change directories to the Gold Image stage area using the following command:
```
# cd /<stage area/Disk0
```

Run the install.sh script with the following options:

# PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin; export PATH
# ./install.sh -goldimage -custid=<4 letter customer id> -instancetype={t|d|p} -installtype=j2eewc_no_infra_903

This installs Oracle9i Application Server mid-tier components.

Configuring Oracle9i Application Server Release 9.0.3

Configure the Infrastructure on the single-tier using the following procedure:

Log in as the root user.
Set up your environment by sourcing the /etc/ora_cc_env file using the following commands:
```
# . /etc/ora_cc_env
# cd $ORACLE_CC_ROOT/ias/902
```
Set the DISPLAY variable to the valid X server.
Run the config.sh script using one of the following:
- Input file
- Interactive mode

Configuring Oracle9i Application Server Using Interactive Mode

Use the following command to configure Infrastructure in interactive mode:

# PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin; export PATH
# ./config.sh -goldimage

Configuring Oracle9i Application Server Using An Input File

Use the following command to configure Infrastructure with input parameters (except passwords) specified in parameter file:

Copy the $ORACLE_CC_ROOT/clone/config/clone_src.properties file to another file, such as config_inputfile.
Edit the config_inputfile file and specify the parameters needed for the specific configuration you need to carry out.
Note that the passwords in the input file will not be honored because of security reasons. You will be prompted for passwords during interactive mode when you run the config.sh script.

Run the config.sh script with the appropriate options to configure Oracle9iAS CC.

# PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin; export PATH
# ./config.sh -goldimage -propfile  <propfile name>

If any parameter is missing or in error, the config.sh will print out an error message and will not continue with the configuration. The user can correct the error in the input file and re-run the configuration.

The J2EE and Web Cache instance will be configured and brought up at the end of configuration.

Verifying Configuration

Check the configuration log file located in the $ORACLE_CC_ROOT/logs/config directory for any errors.
