Installing Supplemental Components

This appendix introduces you to the Oracle9i Application Server, Release 1.0.2.1 supplemental components, and provides basic installation instruction. The topics include:

• Overview

• Supplemental Components

Overview

Oracle9i Application Server supplemental components are installed from the same CD-ROM as Oracle9i Application Server. Installation guides for each component are provided on the Oracle9i Application Server Disk 1.

For instructions on launching the installer, refer to "Starting Oracle Universal Installer".

When Oracle Universal Installer appears, you will see the Welcome screen. Review the screen and click Next. The next screen is the File Location screen. This screen allows you to enter the full path for the source and destination locations of Oracle9i Application Server. In the Source field, enter the full path to the products.jar file.

Supplemental Components

This section introduces you to each supplemental component, and provides the full path to each products.jar file.

Oracle Gateways

Oracle Gateways are agents for accessing data stored in non-Oracle systems, such that users perceives that all data resides on a local Oracle database server. Each agent is designed specifically for particular non-Oracle system (such as Sybase, Informix, and Ingres), and extends Oracle9i Application Server to that system. While installation an Oracle Gateways, you must:

• install each gateway in its own Oracle home directory.

• install the gateway on the same machine as the non-Oracle database.

Source Path

You can install the Oracle Gateways from Oracle9i Application Server CD-ROM Disk 1. Table C-1 lists the full paths to the products.jar file for each gateway. Enter this path in the Source field of the File Location Screen.

Table C-1 Oracle Gateway Source Path

Gateway Name	Path
Sybase	cdrom_drive\GW_SYBASE\Disk1\stage\products.jar
Ingres	cdrom_drive\GW_INGRES\Disk1\stage\products.jar

Oracle Internet Directory

Oracle Internet Directory is a general purpose directory service that stores information about users and network resources. It enables retrieval of information about dispersed users and network resources. It combines Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), the open Internet standard directory access protocol, with the high performance, scalability, robustness, and availability of the Oracle9i Application Server.

Source Path

You can install Oracle Internet Directory from Oracle9i Application Server CD-ROM Disk 2. The following is the full path to the products.jar file for Oracle Internet Directory. Enter this path in the Source field of the File Locations Screen.

cdrom_drive\OID\Disk1\stage\products.jar

Oracle Workflow

Oracle Workflow is a business process modeling and automation tool that enables users to route information, create and change business processes, deliver electronic notifications, and integrate systems based on business events. It enables you to define and continuously improve your business processes using a drag-and-drop process designer, extend the reach of business process automation throughout the enterprise and beyond to include any e-mail or Internet user, and set up subscriptions to business events which can launch workflows or enable messages to be propagated from one system to another when business events occur.

Source Path

You can install Oracle Workflow from Oracle9i Application Server CD-ROM Disk 2. The following is the full path to the products.jar file for Oracle Workflow. Enter this path in the Source field of the File Locations Screen.

cdrom_drive\WF\Disk1\stage\products.jar

Oracle Applications Interconnect

Oracle Applications Interconnect is a comprehensive application integration framework that enables seamless integration of enterprise software It is built on top of Oracle's robust integration platform and leverages its underlying services. It is designed to integrate heterogeneous systems, be it Oracle Applications, non-Oracle applications, or 3-party messaging oriented middleware (MOM). This integration can be deployed either within an enterprise or across enterprise boundaries through the Internet. In addition, Oracle Applications Interconnect provides a tool (iStudio) for modeling the data in the integration scenario. iStudio eliminates the need for "hardwired" or "hardcoded" integration. Users define their integration using iStudio which minimizes the need to write any code for the integration.

Source Path

You can install Oracle Applications Interconnect from Oracle9i Application Server CD-ROM Disk 2. The following is the full path to the products.jar file for Oracle Applications Interconnect. Enter this path in the Source field of the File Locations Screen.
