2 Reviewing Your Order

Review the packing slip in your CD Pack. It lists all products that are in your shipment. The packing slip also lists any products on back-order, which will automatically ship as soon as they become available.

If you have any questions or concerns about your shipment, such as missing items, back-ordered products, returns or exchanges, please call Client Relations in the U.S.A. or your local Oracle office.

The packing slip is not your invoice. Oracle will mail an invoice to the billing address and contact name that you provided when you ordered this CD Pack. If you need a copy of an invoice, call Client Relations in the U.S.A. or your local Oracle office. You will need to provide your order number, which appears on the order confirmation e-mail alert from Oracle Store.

In addition to this guide, your CD Pack contains the following items:

3.4 Windows Preinstallation Tasks

If you are running Windows NT/2000/XP Professional, ensure that you are logged on to your computer as a member of the local computer's Administrators group.

3.5 UNIX Preinstallation Tasks

  1. HP-UX only: Download and install the HP Java SDK. See Table 7, " HP-UX Operating Environment Software Requirements" for version information. You can obtain the HP Java SDK from the HP website http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/
    sdkrte14/index.html    .

  2. Create UNIX groups and accounts.

    1. Create a group that has write access to the Oracle inventory directory, which the installer uses to keep track of the Oracle products installed on this computer. This guide refers to the directory as the oraInventory directory and to the group as the devsuitegrp group.

    2. To allow a user to install Oracle products on this computer, add the devsuitegrp group to the user's list of groups.

    3. If this is the first time you are installing Oracle software on this computer, create a new user for owning and installing Oracle software. You can use any name you wish; this guide refers to it as the oracle user. Make the devsuitegrp group the primary group for this user. The default shell can be either the C, Bourne, or Korn shell.

      Note:

      Use this new user only for installing and maintaining Oracle software. Never use it for purposes unrelated to the installer. Do not use root for this user.

  3. UNIX only: Set the required UNIX environment variables.

    1. To prevent a conflict between the software in an existing Oracle home and the Oracle Developer Suite installation, unset the environment variable ORACLE_HOME, then edit your PATH, CLASSPATH,LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and SHLIB_PATH(HP-UX only) to remove any references to ORACLE_HOME.

    2. If you wish to run the installer remotely from a local workstation, set DISPLAY on the remote workstation to the system name or IP address of the local workstation.

    3. Set TMP to point to a directory with sufficient swap space. The installer uses the TMP directory, or if TMP is not set, the /tmp directory. Refer to Table 2, "Hardware Requirements" for the swap space requirements.

    4. To prevent conflicts between the Net configuration files for different Oracle products, copy existing configuration files for each currently installed product to the product's oracle_home/network/admin directory, then unset the environment variable TNS_ADMIN.

4 Mounting Your CD-ROM or DVD

4.1 Mounting a Windows CD-ROM or DVD

Insert the Oracle Developer Suite CD-ROM labeled Disk 1, or the DVD labeled Oracle Developer Suite and Documentation. If your computer supports the autorun feature, the installer will start. Click Install Oracle Developer Suite to begin your installation.

If your computer does not support the autorun feature, locate the program setup.exe in the root directory of the CD-ROM, or in the directory \developer_suite of the DVD. You will start the installer by running this program

4.2 Mounting a UNIX CD-ROM or DVD

Note:

You need access to the root user account

In operating environments that are not configured for automatic mounting of CD-ROMs or DVDs, you must manually mount the Oracle Developer Suite installation CD-ROMs or DVD. You must have root privileges to mount or unmount a CD-ROM or DVD. Be sure to unmount a CD-ROM or DVD before you remove it from the drive.

Note:

For all UNIX computers, before you mount the installation CD-ROM or DVD, stop all Oracle processes such as an Oracle database instance.

  1. Solaris

    If your computer is set up for auto mounting, then the CD-ROM or DVD is mounted automatically to the directory specified in your auto mount configuration when you insert the disk into the drive.

    If your computer is not set up for auto mounting, then you must mount the CD-ROM or DVD manually.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Insert the Oracle Developer Suite Disk 1 CD-ROM or Oracle Developer Suite and Documentation DVD into the drive.

    2. Log in as the root user.

    3. Ensure that you have a mount point directory for the CD-ROM or DVD. For example, you can create the directory /cdrom:
      # mkdir /cdrom

    4. Mount the drive on the mount point directory:

      prompt> mount options device_name /cdrom

    5. Log out as the root user.

    6. Proceed to the next section "Installing the Software"

  2. HP-UX

    If your computer is set up for auto mounting, then the CD-ROM or DVD is mounted automatically to the directory specified in your auto mount configuration when you insert the disk into the drive.

    If your computer is not set up for auto mounting, then you must mount the CD-ROM or DVD manually. For instructions on how to do this, see the section "Mounting CD-ROMS and DVDs to HP-UX" in the Oracle Developer Suite 10g Installation Guide for Windows and UNIX.

  3. Linux

    If your computer is set up for auto mounting, then the CD-ROM or DVD is mounted automatically to the directory specified in your auto mount configuration when you insert the disk into the drive.

    If your computer is not set up for auto mounting, then you must mount the CD-ROM or DVD manually.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Insert the Oracle Developer Suite Disk 1 CD-ROM or Oracle Developer Suite and Documentation DVD into the drive.

    2. Log in as the root user.

    3. Ensure that you have a mount point directory for the CD-ROM or DVD. For example, you can create the directory /mnt/cdrom:
      # mkdir /mnt/cdrom

    4. Ensure that the following line for /dev/cdrom is in /etc/fstab: 

      /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0


      


      

      

      

      

      
Note:



      
The file /etc/fstab must contain this line exactly as it appears in the text. Replace any other form of the line with the line in the text.
    5. Mount the CD-ROM or DVD drive to the mount point directory by entering the following command:

      # /bin/mount /mnt/cdrom

      This command mounts the CD-ROM or DVD to the mount point directory /mnt/cdrom.

    6. Log out as the root user.

    7. Proceed to the next section "Installing the Software"

5 Installing the Software

5.1 Starting the Installer

The previous versions of Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) were Oracle 9iDS Developer Suite Release 2 (9.0.2), and before that Oracle Internet Developer Suite version 1.0.2.4.x. Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) uses new versions of all components, as listed in Table A.1 "Updated Oracle Developer Suite Components" of the Oracle Developer 10g Suite Installation Guide.

7.2 Oracle9i JDeveloper(9.0.4)

See the topic "Ways to migrate projects to Oracle JDeveloper9i (9.0.4)" of the Welcome to Oracle JDeveloper book in the online help system.

7.3 Oracle Business Intelligence Beans

If you are upgrading Oracle BI Beans from a previous version, then you must configure your JDeveloper BI Beans projects. The procedure is slightly different if you are upgrading from release 9.0.2 than if you are upgrading from release 9.0.3. For more information, see Section A.3 "Upgrade Notes - Oracle Business Intelligence Beans" of the Oracle Developer Suite 10g Installation Guide.

7.4 Oracle Reports

If you want to reuse the 6i Reports server persistent file and server configuration file, you can copy them to the Oracle Reports server 10g directory. The Reports server will automatically convert your 6i files to the Oracle Reports Server 10g format. To do this, copy the following files:

7.5 Oracle Discoverer Administrator

If you have an earlier version of Discoverer Administrator (formerly Discoverer Administration Edition) on your computer, you need to upgrade the End User Layer (EUL) before you can use Oracle Discoverer Administrator to perform administration tasks (unless you have version 9.0.2.53 or later, in which case you do not need to upgrade).

To upgrade an EUL, follow the instructions in Chapter 23 "Upgrading from earlier versions of Discoverer" of the Oracle Discoverer Administrator Administration Guide in the Oracle Developer Suite Documentation Library.

7.6 Oracle Forms

Review the guide Oracle Forms Developer and Forms Services: Migrating Forms Applications from Forms6i in the Oracle Developer Suite Documentation Library.

7.7 Oracle Software Configuration Manager

Oracle Software Configuration Manager was formerly Oracle Repository.

Note:

Please check OracleMetalink (http://metalink.oracle.com) for any patchsets to the product labeled "Designer", release "Designer/Repository 9i", then upgrade your client software by installing the latest 9.0.4 patchset into your existing Oracle home before you upgrade/install your server side repository. If you do this, you will avoid having to upgrade the repository twice.
