Oracle strongly recommends that you familiarize yourself with the components required for your deployment before starting to install Oracle Identity Manager. Oracle also recommends that you install and use the included Diagnostic Dashboard to ensure that your system is ready for installation. See "Using the Diagnostic Dashboard" for more information.
The following sections describe the hardware and software needed for a basic Oracle Identity Manager installation, which consists of the following:
A database server
An application server
An Oracle Identity Manager server (running in the application server)
A Design Console
An Administrative and User Console (running in a web-browser)
This chapter discusses the following topics:
Host System Requirements for Oracle Identity Manager Components
Planning for Non-English Oracle Identity Manager Environments
The tables in this section list minimum the host system requirements for the various components in an Oracle Identity Manager environment.
Important:
Always check the Oracle Identity Manager Release Notes for the requirements and supported configurations specific to each version of the Oracle Identity Manager product. The information in this guide applies generally to all Oracle Identity Manager 9.0.x versions.You must obtain the enterprise versions of the application server and database software, complete with valid licenses. Oracle Identity Manager does not include this software.
The Oracle Identity Manager installation program may conflict with other installed applications, utilities, or drivers. Try to remove all non-essential software and drivers from the installation machine before loading Oracle Identity Manager. This practice also ensures that the database host can create the database schema.
Table 2-1 lists the minimum host requirements for Oracle Identity Manager Server and are guidelines for a basic deployment. Increase each measurement if more size is needed for your deployment.

Table 2-2 provides sample database host requirements for selective supported operating systems and should be considered only as guidelines. Increase each measurement if more size is needed for your deployment. Consult your SQL Server or Oracle database documentation for the specific database host requirements.

If you are deploying Oracle Identity Manager components in non-English environments, be sure to review the following guidelines and requirements:
Before installing any of the Oracle Identity Manager components, ensure the regional and language settings (locale) on the target system meet the following requirements:
An appropriate language version of the operating system is installed
Specific language settings are properly configured.
Refer to the Oracle Identity Manager Globalization Guide for information about configuring localized deployments and to ensure you meet the character restrictions for various components and attributes.
For Oracle database globalization support, you must configure the database for Unicode. Refer to "Creating an Oracle Database" for more information.
Before installing Oracle Identity Manager, you should read "Host System Requirements for Oracle Identity Manager Components" and "Installation Worksheet" to help plan your installation.
Since the Database Administrator (DBA), System Administrator, and IT Developer typically handle tasks specific to their specific areas of expertise, you should share Oracle Identity Manager installation information among your team members. Table 2-5 indicates the document sections each installation team member should read.
Table 2-5 Installation Roles and Documentation
| Installation Role | Sections to Read |
|---|---|
|
Database Administrator |
|
|
System Administrator |
|
|
IT Developer |

The Installation Worksheet in Table 2-6 enables you to identify configuration attributes you need before starting the Oracle Identity Manager installation. Print this worksheet and use it to take notes as you go through your installation. Use the "User Selection" column to fill-in information specific to your installation:

Footnote 1 N/A = Not Applicable for a default. However you must enter a value for this item when you install Oracle Identity Manager.
The Diagnostic Dashboard is a web application that runs in your application server. It checks your pre- and post-installation environments for components required by Oracle Identity Manager. Oracle highly recommends that you install the Diagnostic Dashboard before installing Oracle Identity Manager.
The Diagnostic Dashboard tool is distributed on the Oracle Identity Manager Installer CD media. It is located in the DiagnosticDashboard directory.
You must deploy the Diagnostic Dashboard web application on your application server. For more information, refer to the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console Guide.
