3 Install Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EMCC)

This chapter shows an example of a new installation of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EMCC). If you are using an existing EMCC installation, you can proceed to Chapter 5, "Import the JD Edwards Application Pack OPAR".

An Oracle database must be installed expressly for use by EMCC prior to installing EMCC. For reference purposes, this chapter shows an example of installing the Oracle database for use by Enterprise Manager. However, Oracle strongly recommends that you use the OEM Oracle database installation software instructions under the direction of an Oracle DBA.

Note:

This procedure assumes you have obtained the software component for the Oracle EMCC as described in the chapter of this guide entitled: Section 1.5, "Obtaining Oracle Software Components from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud".

On the machine where you have downloaded the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control installer:

1. Change directory to directory where you downloaded the installer. For example:

   cd u01/downloads/emgc12c/numeric_date/Disk1

   where numeric_date is the date of the installer; for example: 110728.

2. Launch the installer using this command:

   ./runInstaller

   
   

3. On My Oracle Support Details, in order to be informed of security issues you must either provide an email address or choose to receive security updates via My Oracle Support.
