Oracle Applications InterConnect Installation Guide Release 4.1 for Windows NT/2000 and UNIX Part Number A90327-01 |
|
This chapter describes the following system requirements for installing Oracle Applications InterConnect:
Oracle Applications InterConnect is a hub and spoke, end-to-end integration solution. This section describes:
Oracle Applications InterConnect consists of the following components:
The installation steps of the components that are platform-specific are clearly defined.
Adapters are software modules that plug into applications to make them Oracle Applications InterConnect enabled. Each adapter is a runtime component that manages the information flow between an application and Oracle Applications InterConnect.
Oracle Applications InterConnect consists of the following adapters:
You can use iStudio to specify and configure an integration. It is a wizard-based tool that enables you to model hierarchical data that represent business objects you are integrating between applications. You can use iStudio to specify data transformations. It supports publish/subscribe, request/reply, and point-to-point messaging.
The repository stores metadata generated by iStudio, including all the integration information.
The Workflow Communication Infrastructure allows Oracle Workflow to be used seamlessly with Oracle Applications InterConnect.
The Oracle Applications InterConnect Management Infrastructure Client and Server provide management capabilities for Oracle Applications InterConnect components through the Enterprise Manager Console and Oracle Management Server (part of Oracle Enterprise Manager.)
You can use the optional SDK component to create new adapters and iStudio browsers instead of using the ones that come bundled with Oracle Applications InterConnect.
Oracle Applications InterConnect has the following dependent products:
There is no restriction on where each of the components reside. For example, all the
components can reside on one machine or each component can reside on its own
dedicated machine.
Oracle Corporation recommends the following topology:
Do not run an install on a UNIX computer using Exceed on a remote machine. This can cause problems during install.

Table 1-4 lists the software requirements for the hub computer, the spoke computer, and for iStudio.
Table 1-4 Operating System Requirements
Oracle Applications InterConnect runs on JRE 1.1.8. You do not need to install JRE or JDK 1.1.8 prior to installing Oracle Applications InterConnect. The Oracle Applications InterConnect installation bundles JRE 1.1.8 with it and installs it. The following is information on the Solaris patch required for the Java programs. (This information is also available on the JDK 1.1.8_10 for UNIX/SPARC README
file.)
Table 1-5 describes the required patches for Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6, or Solaris 7. You can download the patches from http://www.sun.com/solaris/java
or obtain them from your service provider. The two-digit number following the dash in each patch number is the revision of the patch. The table lists minimum revisions that this release was tested with; later revisions are acceptable.
* - recommended for locations that use traditional Chinese characters. You can also install the latest patch cluster for your version of Solaris, which includes additional recommended and security patches. Solaris patch clusters are available for downloading on the Web; follow the links starting at http://sunsolve.sun.com.
