This chapter summarizes the tasks required to install and configure an installation of Oracle Communications Converged Application Server. Converged Application Server is built on Oracle WebLogic Server Release 11g Release 1. The procedures for installing Converged Application Server are similar to the procedures for installing WebLogic Server. This document describes information specific to Converged Application Server. For complete system planning information and installation instructions, refer to the WebLogic Server documentation.
The Converged Application Server installation should be performed only by qualified personnel. You must be familiar with Oracle WebLogic Server and the operating system on which you are installing the software. You should be experienced with installing Java-related packages. It is recommended that the installation and configuration of the Oracle or MySQL database be performed by an experienced database administrator.
Follow these guidelines:
As you install each component; for example, the Oracle database and Converged Application Server, verify that the component installed successfully before continuing the installation process.
Pay close attention to the system requirements. Before you begin installing the software, make sure your system has the required base software. In addition, make sure that you know all of the required configuration values, such as host names and port numbers.
As you create new configuration values, write them down. In some cases, you might need to re-enter configuration values later in the procedure.
The Converged Application Server installation program installs the following products:
WebLogic Server and optional sub-components
Oracle Communications Converged Application Server
The installation program also allows you to selectively install one or more subcomponents of each of these product offerings. In addition, depending on your operating system platform, the installation program can also install the JRockit or Sun JDK.
In general, command syntax examples in this document are only provided for the UNIX operating system. If you are installing the Converged Application Server software on the Windows operating system, it is assumed that you are able to translate the UNIX examples to the equivalent commands and directory paths for Windows.
Table 1-1 describes the high-level tasks that are required to install Converged Application Server. For information on installing WebLogic Server, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server documentation set.

Step 5 - Create a Presence Server domain |
Use the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to create a Presence Server domain. |
See "Creating a Converged Application Server Domain" in Chapter 5, "Post-Installation Tasks." |
Step 6 - Test the Presence Server installation |
Expand the Presence deployment by adding Managed Servers, deploying additional data sources to Managed Servers, and deploying Presence applications on servers and clusters. |
