2.3 Installing Oracle Content DB on a Single Computer

A single-computer installation is one that has Oracle Database, OracleAS Infrastructure (with Oracle Identity Management), and the Oracle Content DB middle tier on the same computer. This section provides information and recommendations for a single-computer configuration for Oracle Content DB.

2.3.1 System Requirements for Single-Computer Installation

If you plan a single-computer installation of Oracle Content DB running a single database instance, ensure that the computer on which you plan to install the software meets the requirements listed in Table 2-4. These requirements are necessary to contain not only Oracle Content DB, but also Oracle Identity Management components and the Oracle Database.

If you are planning to run both an Oracle Content DB database and the OracleAS Infrastructure database on the same computer, look at the system requirements for both Oracle Database and OracleAS Infrastructure in Oracle Database Installation Guide for HP-UX PA-RISC (64-Bit) and Oracle Application Server Installation Guide to determine what requirements to meet.

Table 2-4 System Requirements for Single-Computer Installation

Item Minimum Requirement

Memory

2 GB RAM

Disk Space

15 GB

Swap Space

4 GB


2.3.2 Single-Computer Installation Options

In general, there are three different ways to install OracleAS Infrastructure, Oracle Database, and the Oracle Content DB middle tier on the same computer. The following sections provide information about each configuration option:

2.3.2.1 Installing OracleAS Infrastructure, Oracle Database, and Oracle Content DB in Three Oracle Homes

You can choose to install OracleAS Infrastructure, Oracle Database, and the Oracle Content DB middle tier in three separate Oracle homes. In this configuration, there are two databases running on the same computer: the database for Oracle Content DB, and the Metadata Repository database (part of OracleAS Infrastructure). Because of this, you may have port conflicts when you install the second database. See "Database Port Conflicts" for additional information. Also, you should increase your hardware configuration proportionally to account for both database instances. See "System Requirements for Single-Computer Installation".

For this configuration, you should install the components in the following order:

  • OracleAS Infrastructure

  • Oracle Database

  • Oracle Content DB middle tier

2.3.2.2 Using the OracleAS Infrastructure Database as the Oracle Content DB Database

You can install OracleAS Infrastructure first, then use the OracleAS Infrastructure database as your Oracle Content DB database. In this configuration, there is only one database running on the computer.

To use the OracleAS Infrastructure database as your Oracle Content DB database, you must ensure the following requirements are met:

  • You may need to upgrade the version of the OracleAS Infrastructure database. Oracle Content DB requires an Oracle Database version 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.5. For the most up-to-date certification information, refer to OracleMetaLink at:

    http://metalink.oracle.com

    See "Upgrading an Existing Oracle Database" for more information.

  • When you install the OracleAS Infrastructure database, be sure to choose AL32UTF8 as the database character set. AL32UTF8 is not the default character set. See "Setting the Required Database Character Set" for more information.

  • Make sure to set the required database initialization parameters before installing the Oracle Content DB middle tier. See "Setting Required Database Initialization Parameters" for more information.

After you install OracleAS Infrastructure and then configure the Metadata Repository database to be your Oracle Content DB database, install the Oracle Content DB middle tier. See Chapter 5, "Installing the Oracle Content DB Middle Tier" for more information.

2.3.2.3 Using an Existing Database as Your Metadata Repository

You can choose to install Oracle Database first, then use that database for your Metadata Repository. In this configuration, there is only one database running on the computer. See Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant User's Guide for information about using an existing database as your Metadata Repository.

This database must meet all the requirements listed in "Installing Oracle Database" in order to be used with Oracle Content DB.

After you have configured your database to be the Metadata Repository database, and after you have installed Oracle Identity Management components, install the Oracle Content DB middle tier. Be sure that you have installed the following Oracle Identity Management components:

  • Oracle Internet Directory

  • OracleAS Single Sign-On

  • OracleAS Delegated Administration Services

  • OracleAS Directory Integration and Provisioning


See Also:


2.3.3 Database Port Conflicts

If you are installing both Oracle Database and the Metadata Repository on the same computer, you may have a port conflict when you install the second database (typically the Metadata Repository) because port 1521 will already be in use by the first database you installed.

2.3.3.1 If Port 1521 Is Being Used by an Existing Oracle Database

If you are installing both Oracle Database and the Metadata Repository on the same computer, you may have a port conflict when you install the second database (typically the Metadata Repository) because port 1521 will already be in use by the first database you installed.

As long as the first Oracle Database is version 10.1.0.2 or later, the existing listener will support both the existing database and the new Oracle Database. Oracle Universal Installer will perform this configuration automatically. You must stop the existing listener during installation.

2.3.3.2 If Port 1521 Is Being Used by Another Application

If another application is listening on port 1521, you must reconfigure it to listen on a different port. If that is not possible, shut it down while you install the Oracle Database. After installation, you can reconfigure the Oracle Database to use a port other than 1521.
