Oracle Content Database (Oracle Content DB) uses Oracle Database for its content repository, and runs in Oracle Application Server. Oracle Content DB also uses Oracle Identity Management, part of Oracle Application Server Infrastructure (OracleAS Infrastructure), for user management and authentication. Because of these dependencies, installing Oracle Content DB typically involves the following:
Installing a new Oracle Database, or adjusting the parameters of an existing Oracle Database
Installing OracleAS Infrastructure (if you do not have one deployed already)
Registering the Oracle Database you are using with Oracle Internet Directory
Installing one or more Oracle Content DB middle tiers
This guide provides information about how to install Oracle Content DB middle tiers. It includes some of the information, but not all, you need to install Oracle Database and OracleAS Infrastructure. Links to specific guides in the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server documentation sets are provided in key places in this guide to help you through the installation process for all of these components.
In a production environment, Oracle Content DB is typically deployed on multiple computers. This configuration enables you to separate the components, and configure failover, load balancers, and high availability options. With multiple-computer deployment, you can also use computers with lower hardware requirements than required for single-computer deployment.Oracle Content DB can be installed on a single computer if the computer meets the recommended hardware and software requirements. If your computer does not meet the recommended requirements, the performance of this configuration might be less than satisfactory. A single-computer deployment does not allow you to use load balancing or failover options. See "Installing Oracle Content DB on a Single Computer" for more information.
