Checking Preinstallation Requirements

You must meet certain requirements for Oracle Real-Time Collaboration and Oracle Voicemail & Fax before you start the installation. If these requirements are not met, these components might not function properly.

This section covers the following topics:

Hardware Requirements for Components of Oracle Real-Time Collaboration

You must keep the following hardware requirements in mind while installing Oracle Real-Time Collaboration:


Note:

Oracle Real-Time Collaboration 10.1.2 cannot be installed on the same Applications tier as Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10.1.2.4.1.

Hardware Requirements for Voice Conversion Server

There are a number of hardware sizing considerations for Oracle Real-Time Collaboration. Refer to the Oracle Collaboration Suite Deployment Guide for detailed information about these considerations.

This section provides information about the hardware required for the Voice Conversion Server used by Oracle Real-Time Collaboration to support streaming voice data during conferences or playback of recorded conferences with voice data.

The Voice Conversion Server must be installed on a computer with Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 (SP4) or later, with the following basic configuration:

  • 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz) Intel Processor

  • 512 Megabyte (MB) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM)

  • 20 Gigabyte (GB) disk

Hardware Requirements for Telephony

You also need specialized telephony hardware to install Oracle Real-Time Collaboration. You need a T1 or E1 trunk, and a media processing board from Intel or Dialogic to support the trunk. The T1/E1 protocol supported by Oracle Real-Time Collaboration is robbed-bit /CAS (Channel Associated Signaling).

Table 1 and Table 2 list the hardware and sizing recommendations depending on the number of concurrent voice conferences, the type of and number of trunk lines, and the number of Voice Conversion Servers.

Network Requirements

The Oracle Real-Time Collaboration components perform load balancing as they handle communications between clients and servers. The Redirector determines which multiplexer or communication manager processes are available as it routes requests from clients. On the other hand, the multiplexer determines which Web Conferencing Server processes are available as it routes communications from and to the Web Conferencing clients.

You might also use a Load Balancer to manage processes handled by your Oracle Applications tier servers. If so, then keep the following considerations in mind:

  • All systems behind the load balancer should have intranet-routable Internet protocol (IP) addresses and must be directly accessible from the Internet at least on the standard HTTP and HTTPS ports (80 and 443).

  • If you use geographic load balancers, the load balancers for separating loads between geographic locations, then you must create Oracle Real-Time Collaboration clusters to partition the system based on geographical distribution.


Caution:

Oracle Messenger also uses ports 5222 and 5223, which in some cases must be open to the Internet.

Hardware Requirements for Components of Oracle Voicemail & Fax

The typical hardware required for installing Oracle Voicemail & Fax is a Dell PowerEdge 2850 or similar with the following:

  • Dual Central Processing Unit (CPU)

  • 8 GB or more of RAM

  • One of the following operating systems:

    • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 (SP4)

    • Microsoft Windows 2003 Standard

    • Microsoft Windows XP


Note:

Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10.1.2.4.1 cannot be installed on the same Applications tier as Oracle Real-Time Collaboration 10.1.2.

Software Requirements for Components of Oracle Real-Time Collaboration

Oracle Real-Time Collaboration uses a Document Conversion Server to convert Microsoft Office documents into HTML or other compatible formats for sharing during conferences. The server must either Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Office 2000, or Microsoft Office XP installed on it.

Oracle Real-Time Collaboration also uses a Voice Conversion Server to support streaming of voice data during conferences or playback of recorded conferences with voice data. The server requires Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4 or later, and Intel Dialogic System Software 5.1.1 SP1 or later.

The following sections describe how to upgrade Oracle Voicemail & Fax from versions 9.0.4 and 10.1.2. Oracle Voicemail & Fax supports rolling Applications tier upgrades.


Note:

Oracle recommends that you schedule the upgrade of your Applications tiers in stages rather than perform them all at the same time.


Note:

Check MetaLink for the latest patches for Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1.

To upgrade Oracle Voicemail & Fax, perform the steps in the following sections:

Preparing to Upgrade Oracle Voicemail & Fax

If you are already using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Management Service, then upgrade it from 10.1.0.3 to 10.2.0.2.

Otherwise, install Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (10.2.0.2) Management Service in your environment. Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g is required because you need it to manage Oracle Voicemail & Fax.

See Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration.

Performing an Oracle Voicemail & Fax upgrade from versions 9.0.4 or 10.1.2

To upgrade Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) into a new Oracle home:

  1. Back up the Oracle home on the middle tier (or Applications tier) configured with Oracle Voicemail & Fax. You should already have backed up the Oracle9iAS Infrastructure before upgrading it. You will use the process entries in the Release 2 (9.0.4.2) Oracle Internet Directory later to reconfigure the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) Oracle Internet Directory objects.

  2. Back up the sc_vsto.cfg file. Make a copy of the file and name it sc_vsto.cfg.bak. A new sc_vsto.cfg file is re-created when you restart the system.

    The sc_vsto.cfg file is located in the CT server container directory. By default, it is installed in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Dialogic\CT Media\Containers. If it is not in the default location, check the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Dialogic\\CT Media\\2.0\\Server\\Environment\\LocalContainerPath in the Windows registry.

  3. Deinstall Oracle Voicemail & Fax using the Oracle Universal installer. To run the Oracle Universal Installer:

    1. Log in to the computer as a user who is a member of the Windows Administrators group.

    2. Insert the Oracle Collaboration Suite DVD into the DVD-ROM drive.

      If your computer supports the autorun feature, the installer launches automatically.

      If your computer does not support the autorun feature, then double-click the setup.exe file.

  4. After deinstall has finished, delete the ORACLE_HOME directory tree using rmdir /s directory name.

  5. Run Regedit and verify that any Oracle-related registry entries pertaining to your deinstalled ORACLE_HOME are gone. These entries are found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Oracle and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services. If the entries are not gone, remove them.

  6. Open Control Panel, then open System Properties and click the Advanced tab. Click Environment Variables, and remove any variables specific to your deinstalled ORACLE_HOME and any path entries pertaining to the deinstalled ORACLE_HOME.

  7. If you have no other Oracle products on the computer, delete the %ProgramFiles%\Oracle folder.

  8. If an Oracle Management Agent version prior to 10.2.0.2 is already installed on the system, stop its processes and install Oracle Management Agent 10.2.0.2.

    Otherwise, install Oracle Management Agent 10.2.0.2 in its own Oracle home on the system running Oracle Voicemail & Fax.

  9. Remove any Oracle Internet Directory entries as follows:

    1. Log in to Oracle Internet Directory as a super user.

    2. Under cn=computers,cn=oraclecontext find the name of the computer on which Oracle Voicemail & Fax was running.

    3. Remove the computer name and any entries under it.

    3. Remove the computer name and any targets for services on that computer.

  11. Deinstall the NetMerge Converged Communications Server or CT Media Server.

  12. Deinstall any telephony boards that were used for Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10.1.2. These are not supported in Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10.1.2.4.1.

  13. Restart the computer so the Service Control Manager can pick up the new environment settings.

  14. Ensure that Oracle Management Agent is up and running.

  15. Update your computer to have the necessary pre-requisites described in Software Requirements for Oracle Voicemail & Fax.

  16. Follow the instructions in Installing Oracle Real-Time Collaboration and Oracle Voicemail & Fax and install Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1 (10.1.2.4.1) in a new Oracle home.

  17. Restart the Oracle Voicemail & Fax Applications tier.

  18. If this is the first Applications tier configured with Oracle Voicemail & Fax that you are upgrading, then upgrade your site and user data by following the procedure in Upgrading Sites and Users.

  19. If this is the last Applications tier configured with Oracle Voicemail & Fax that you are upgrading, restore the Oracle Internet Directory credentials in the mail store by following the procedure in Restoring the Oracle Internet Directory Credentials in the Mail Store.

Installing Additional Oracle Voicemail & Fax Applications Tiers

To upgrade additional Oracle Voicemail & Fax Applications tiers, repeat the steps in Performing an Oracle Voicemail & Fax upgrade from versions 9.0.4 or 10.1.2 on the systems running those Applications tiers. During the installation process, you can choose to create a new PBX-Application cluster. Or you can choose to use an existing PBX-Application Cluster if this Oracle Voicemail & Fax system will communicate with the same PBX as a previously installed Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10.1.2 Applications tier.

To reuse an existing PBX-Application Cluster, select the same PBX-Application Cluster that you created during the installation of the first Oracle Voicemail & Fax instance.

The SIP server and the port used in earlier installations are selected by default during subsequent installations. During installation, you can keep these same settings or change them as applicable to the Applications tier on which you are installing Oracle Voicemail & Fax.

Verifying the Installation of Oracle Voicemail & Fax

When the installation completes, verify that you can access the Oracle Voicemail & Fax custom Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control pages.

Log in to Grid Control and select the Oracle Voicemail & Fax Group target whose name matches the one you entered during the interview phase of the install. If this is your first time accessing this target, then you will be prompted for Oracle Internet Directory login credentials to view these pages. Enter the Oracle Internet Directory user name and password. Leave the Save as Preferred Credential box selected. The Oracle Internet Directory user name can be cn=orcladmin, the Oracle Internet Directory superuser.

Configuring a PBX-Application Cluster

After installing Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1 (10.1.2.4.1) in a new Oracle home, configure the PBX-Application Cluster that you created during the installation process.

For more information on configuring a PBX-Application Cluster, see "Configuring the PBX-Application Cluster" in Chapter 2 and "Configuring PBX-Application Clusters" in Chapter 3 of Oracle Voicemail & Fax Administrator's Guide.

Upgrading Sites and Users

The term site is a new concept in Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1 (10.1.2). A site is an extension of a Release 2 (9.0.4.2) group with a physical location assigned to it. It differs from a Release 2 (9.0.4.2) group because users belonging to the site must be assigned phone numbers that belong to that site. In Release 2 (9.0.4.2), there was no such restriction, and groups were not tied to a physical location or to phone numbers belonging to a physical location. Therefore, in Release 2 (9.0.4.2), you could have users with Chicago phone numbers and users with San Francisco phone numbers belonging to the same group. In 10g Release 1, the Chicago users would be in a separate group from the San Francisco users.

When upgrading from Release 2 (9.0.4.2) to 10g Release 1 (10.1.2.4.1), you must convert some Release 2 (9.0.4.2) groups to sites, and move all 9.0.4.2 users, based on their phone numbers, under the correct sites. Oracle Voicemail & Fax provides a tool, upgradeOVFGroupsAndUsers.bat, to accomplish this task. You can run this tool from any upgraded Oracle Voicemail & Fax Applications tier, but you cannot use Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1 (10.1.2.4.1) until the upgrade tool has been run, and the users have been moved to the new sites and groups. You first create a site input file and then run the upgrade script, providing the input file as a parameter.

Creating a Site Input File

The site input file contains information about the 9.0.4.2 groups that should be updated to sites and any additional information about these sites.

The format of this file is shown in the following example:

SiteName=hq.us.oracle.com
ExtensionLength=5
LocalNumDigits=10
PBXName=HQ Nortel
PBXConnectionType=SMDI
PhoneNumberSets=1650506????:1650607????:1650633????

In the preceding format:

  • SiteName is the name of the Release 2 (9.0.4.2) group to be converted to a site.

    The value must be non-null and non-empty and correspond to a group that exists in Oracle Internet Directory.

  • ExtensionLength is the length of all extensions at this site. This value allows users to identify their phone numbers using a shortened version of the full phone number.

    The value must be non-null, non-empty and non-negative.

  • LocalNumDigits is the number of digits in a local phone number for this site. This value is used by the system when announcing a caller's phone number. A shortened version of the phone number is used instead of specifying the whole international phone number.

    The value must be non-negative. If not provided, the default value is 0.

  • PBXName is the name of the PBX-Application Cluster to which users at this site belong.

    The value must be non-null and non-empty.

  • PBXConnectionType is the integration type for this PBX-Application Cluster.

    The value should be either SMDI or CTMedia. Any other values cause the script to display a warning, though the script will still run. The value must be non-null and non-empty. You can change these values later using the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console.

  • PhoneNumberSets restricts the phone numbers that users belonging to this site and PBX-Application Cluster may have.

    The value must be non-null and non-empty. The pattern may include digits, question marks (?), a hyphen (-), or an asterisk (*).

    The asterisk (*) represents one or more digits and can only appear once at the end of the pattern, if at all. Hyphens (-) are used to prefix a phone number pattern to differentiate multiple PBXes connecting to the same server using a VoIP gateway. The question mark (?) represents a single digit and can appear anywhere in the pattern.

Repeat this information in the same file for all groups you want upgraded. Ensure that no group specified in the SiteName field is the parent of any other group in the file.

The upgrade tool performs validation checks according to the criteria specified for each field. If any validation check fails, the tool does not run.

Running the Group and User Upgrade Tool

To run the upgrade tool, enter the following command from the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2.4.1) Oracle home:

um\scripts\upgrade\upgradeOVFGroupsAndUsers.bat oracle_home site_input_file SiteChange UpgradeUsers QueryParent

In the preceding command:

  • oracle_home is the Oracle home configured with Oracle Voicemail & Fax 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) Oracle home.

  • site_input_file is the name of the file created in Creating a Site Input File. This file can be in any directory as long as you specify the full path and file name.

  • SiteChange is a boolean argument that indicates whether the groups in the input file should actually be converted to sites. If this argument is true, then the following actions take place for each group in the site input file:

    • The group specified by SiteName is converted to a site, if it is not already a site, and the ExtensionLength and LocalNumDigits are set for this site.

    • A PBX-Application Cluster is created in Oracle Internet Directory, if it does not yet exist, with the specified PBXName. The Oracle Internet Directory object is created under the container cn=PBXes,cn=UMContainer,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext.

    • A PhoneNumberDescription object is created in Oracle Internet Directory under the container cn=Phone Numbers,cn=UMContainer,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext.


    Note:

    Rerunning this tool with this argument set to true should not result in an error unless the name of the PBX-Application Cluster is changed.

  • UpgradeUsers is a boolean argument that should be set to true if you want all users under the groups specified in the site input file to be upgraded from Release 2 (9.0.4.2) to 10g Release 1 (10.1.2).

    For example, if the site input file contains one group, hq.us.oracle.com, then setting this argument to true instructs the tool to match each user under hq.us.oracle.com with the correct site based on his or her phone number. User objects under hq.us.oracle.com that have a phone number belonging to the hq.us.oracle.com site will remain in the same place in Oracle Internet Directory. User objects under hq.us.oracle.com that have a phone number that does not belong to hq.us.oracle.com will be moved under other sites in Oracle Internet Directory.

  • QueryParent is a boolean argument similar to the UpgradeUsers flag. This flag is only relevant if the UpgradeUsers flag is also true. If this flag is set to true then the tool, in addition to upgrading users under the groups in the input file, will upgrade users belonging to the parents of those groups.

    For instance, suppose the site input file contains one group, hq.us.oracle.com. If this flag is set to true, and the UpgradeUsers flag is also set to true, then the tool will look for users directly under the groups us.oracle.com, oracle.com, and com. It will then try to move each of these users to the right site.

For example, if the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) Oracle home is c:\product\10.1.2\ocs_1, then the commands are:

cd c:\product\10.1.2\ocs_1
um\scripts\upgrade\upgradeOVFGroupsAndUsers.bat c:\product\10.1.2\ocs_1 siteinput.txt true true true
Log Files for the Oracle Voicemail & Fax Site Upgrade Tool

The tool logs messages to the file ORACLE_HOME\um\log\Verification\log.xml.

In addition, the tool produces error logs for users who cannot be moved to the correct site. There are two types of error logs, one for users under a site who cannot be matched to the correct site, and one for users who are matched to the correct site but cannot be moved to that site.

These logs files are located in the ORACLE_HOME\um\scripts directory and have a .error extension. For example, suppose you run the tool and see the following error log files:

  • hq.us.oracle.com.error

    This file contains users under hq.us.oracle.com who cannot be matched to any existing site in the system. It could also include users for which there was an unexpected Oracle Internet Directory or configuration error.

  • oracle.com-hq.us.oracle.com.error

    This file contains users who should have been moved from oracle.com to hq.us.oracle.com; however, an unexpected error occurred while moving these users.


Note:

For each of the users in the .error files, you should check the ORACLE_HOME\um\log\Verification\log.xml for more detailed information.

You can rerun the tool after fixing any issues found in the error logs.

Changing the Domain Name

When you install Oracle Voicemail & Fax, by default, oracle.com is assigned as the default domain name for the root group. You will need to change the default domain name of the root group to the domain name for your company.

To change the default domain name:

  1. From Enterprise Manager Grid Control, navigate to the Voicemail & Fax home page and click the Administration tab.

  2. Click the Go To Task icon of the Manage Groups and Sites task.

  3. In the Manage Groups and Sites page, click the root group.

  4. On the Edit Group or Site page, change the Default Domain Name from oracle.com to the domain name for your company.

  5. Click OK.


Note:

If you have more than one domain, you will need to set the Default Domain Name property for each domain. Set this property fro the group at the highest level hierarchy that includes all users in that domain.

Restoring the Oracle Internet Directory Credentials in the Mail Store

Perform the steps in this section after the last Oracle Voicemail & Fax Applications tier is upgraded.

After the mail store was upgraded, you changed the Oracle Internet Directory access user name and password created by the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) upgrade. After the last Applications tier has been upgraded, reset the password for the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) user name in Oracle Internet Directory using the Oracle Directory Manager tool. Then, restore the Oracle Internet Directory credentials in the mail store.

To reset the password in Oracle Internet Directory:

  1. Ensure that Oracle Internet Directory is running.

  2. Start Oracle Directory Manager by entering the following command from the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure Oracle home:

    bin/oidadmin
    
    

    When prompted, enter the user name, password, and name of the server and port where Oracle Internet Directory is running. By default, the user name is cn=orcladmin and the port is 389.

  3. Click Login. The Oracle Directory Manager appears.

  4. In the navigator pane on the left side, locate the Entry Management tree item and click the plus (+) sign next to it to view its subcomponents. Repeat this step for the cn=OracleContext, cn=Products, cn=EMailServerContainer, cn=um_system and cn=MailStores tree items.

  5. Locate and expand the entry of the upgraded Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database hosting the mail store by its global database name. The entry has the form "cn=db_global_name".

  6. Select the cn=emailisinstance entry. In the userpassword attribute field, enter a new password.

  7. Click Apply.

  8. Exit Oracle Directory Manager by selecting File, Exit.

To restore the Oracle Internet Directory credentials in the mail store:

  1. Log into the upgraded mail store (now a Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database) as the es_mail user.

  2. At the SQL*Plus prompt, enter the following command:

    begin
      UMAdminInfo.set_info ('cn=emailisinstance, cn=infostore_db_global_name,
        cn=MailStores, cn=um_system, cn=EMailServerContainer, cn=Products, 
        cn=OracleContext', 'password', 'ldaphost', ldapport);
    end;
    
    

    In the preceding command:

    • infostore_db_global_name is the global database name of the upgraded Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database.

    • password is the password you created in Step 6.

    • ldaphost is the name of the host where Oracle Internet Directory is running.

    • ldapport is the port where the upgraded Oracle Internet Directory is running.

    The following message appears:

    PL/SQL Procedure successfully completed.
    

Mapping Attributes from Release 2 (9.0.4.2) to 10g Release 1 (10.1.2)

When you upgrade Oracle Voicemail & Fax, you must manually reconfigure the attributes in the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) installation. Many of the attributes have been combined, or moved, or both to different objects.

Refer to Oracle Voicemail & Fax Administrator's Guide to understand how attributes can be set at a higher level to be inherited by child processes.

This section summarizes the names and locations of attributes in Oracle Voicemail & Fax Release 2 (9.0.4.2), and how they can be accessed in 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control.

This section includes the following tables:

To find the Oracle Voicemail & Fax Release 2 (9.0.4.2) attribute in 10g Release 1 (10.1.2):

  1. Use Enterprise Manager Grid Control to navigate to the page specified in the Page Name column.

    Some properties can be set at more than one level in the Oracle Voicemail & Fax hierarchy. In these instances, two or more pages are listed where the parameter can be edited. The pages are listed, in order, from the higher to lower levels in the hierarchy.

  2. In some instances, the parameter is found on the page specified in the Page Name column. However, in most instances, parameters are organized into categories on the page. Look for the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) parameter under the category specified in the Parameter Category column.

    If a 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) property can be edited at more than one level in the hierarchy, in most instances, the category under which you find the parameter will be the same.

For example, in Table 6, the Container_ORCL_WriteChunkSize parameter can be set at the Voicemail & Fax level on the Configure Global Process Settings page or at the Voicemail & Fax Application Level on the Voicemail & Fax Administration page. On either page, the parameter is found under the Database Buffers category.

Table 6 summarizes the mappings of mail store parameters.

Performing Additional Configuration Steps

Refer to Chapters 2 and 3 of Oracle Voicemail & Fax Administrator's Guide for information on the additional configuration steps required.

Reconfiguring Customized Menu Settings

The Release 2 (9.0.4.2) menu is not compatible with the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) menu. Therefore, if you customized the Release 2 (9.0.4.2) menu and you are upgrading to 10g Release 1 (10.1.2), then you will need to edit the 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) menus.xml file with the changes that were made to the Release 2 (9.0.4.2) menus.xml file. In both releases, this file is located in the ORACLE_HOME\um\xml directory.

For more information, see "Customizing Oracle Voicemail & Fax Menus" in Chapter 7 of the Oracle Voicemail & Fax Administrator's Guide.
