The directions in this chapter represent the steps that are typically required to install Oracle Workflow on a UNIX platform; they are included here for your convenience. These directions may not be appropriate in all circumstances and for all platforms. If you encounter problems or if these directions are not appropriate for your site, see the Oracle Workflow Guide, release 2.6.1, for complete directions.
Oracle Workflow is installed on the system where Oracle9i is installed.
Follow these steps to install Oracle Workflow 2.6:
owf_mgr
(default)
tnsnames.ora
file).
Click Submit. This completes Workflow configuration.
http://<hostname>/
where <hostname> is the name or IP address of the system on which you are installing these components.
You'll see a page with the title "Oracle HTTP Server Components" and a list of server components. If you do not see this page, it means Oracle HTTP Server is not running, and you must start it. To do so, log in as root and enter:
# $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl
If Oracle HTTP Server is correctly started, you will see the following:
./apachectl start ssl:http started
If Oracle HTTP Server fails to start, check the log files to learn the reason.
Exit as root and return to your role as Oracle database administrator.
Point your browser to your <hostname>, and among the components listed,
Then click the Gateway Database Access Descriptor Settings link:
wf
)
Ensure that Oracle User Name and Oracle Password are blank, and that all other fields have their default settings.
Click OK (at the top).
You'll see WF added to the sample DADs listed. Click Close. Exit the browser.
Alias /OA_JAVA/ "<$ORACLE_HOME>/jlib/" Alias /OA_MEDIA/ "<$ORACLE_HOME>/wf/java/oracle/apps/fnd/wf/icons/" Alias /OA_DOC/ "<$ORACLE_HOME>/wf/doc/"
Be sure to substitute the full path of $ORACLE_HOME
in each alias.
# $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop
# $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl
If Oracle HTTP Server is correctly started, you will see the following:
./apachectl start ssl:http started
http://<yourhost>/pls/<wf-DAD>
for <wf-DAD>
, substitute the value for the Database Access Descriptor name that you chose in step 10.
To log in to Workflow Administrator, you'll be prompted for user name for Workflow Account) and password (Workflow Password) (these values are from step 8). This brings up the wfa_html.home Oracle Workflow page.
wfa_html.home
page, click Global Workflow Preferences.
You can configure Workflow email notifications so that OP can send an email message when a build, deployment, or report completes. Email is sent to the email address that is entered in the email notification fields on the Create Build Schedule, Create Deployment Schedule, and Create Report Schedule pages. The message can be sent to individual users and/or mailing lists. Configuring email notifications requires the following two steps:
sendmail
on the system where OP is installed.
You must configure sendmail
to run on the system where OP is installed. You should verify that the sendmail
daemon is running before you try to use email notifications. Consult your UNIX system administrator for details about configuring sendmail
.
The exact details depend on the operating system that you are using. The general steps are as follows:
opmail
, to run the Workflow mailer. You may want to add a group before creating this user account. The following steps are required on a Solaris system to add a group and a user (commands to add a group and a user may differ on other UNIX platforms; consult your UNIX system administrator):
groupadd <opmail_group_name>
where <opmail_ group_name> is a string of 8 or fewer lowercase alphabetic and numeric characters.
useradd -g <opmail_group_name> -d <opmail_user_home_directory>
-s /bin/csh -c "Workflow Mailbox" -m <opmail_user_name>
where<opmail_user_home_directory> is the home directory for the new user and <opmail_user_name> is the login name of the new user. The login name must be a string of 8 or fewer characters; the only characters allowed in the login name are alphabetic characters, numeric characters, period (.
), underscore (_
), and hyphen (-
).
passwd <opmail_user_name>
mailFolders
.
.login
file for opmail as follows:
sqlplus
works from the opmail
account. You can use the following command:
sqlplus /nolog
$ORACLE_HOME/wf/res
. This directory contains the wfmail.cfg
file.
The wfmail.cfg
file is generic, and must be customized for your system. Edit wfmail.cfg
to customize it for your system, carefully checking all the configuration settings for your system.
opmail
.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/wfmail.csh -f $ORACLE_HOME/wf/res/wfmail.cfg &
opmail
) start up. You can verify that the two mailer notification processes are running with the following command on Solaris:
ps -ef | grep wfmail
