Understanding the Oracle SALT Directory Structure

During the Oracle SALT software installation, all Oracle SALT files are decompressed within the Oracle Tuxedo TUXDIR directory.

Note:

For each Oracle product, a file called comps.xml (located in $ORACLEHOME/inventory/ContentsXML), lists installation information.

Table 5‑1 lists brief descriptions of Oracle SALT directories and files.

Reinstalling Oracle SALT

When you start the Oracle SALT Installation program on the target Oracle Tuxedo directory that already has a copy of the same version Oracle SALT installed, the installation program detects the existing Oracle SALT and a warning screen is shown to ask if you want to:

•	Copy the new Oracle SALT installation directories/files over the existing one.

•	Click ‘Yes”. This option overwrites the previous installation.

•	It is highly recommended that you shutdown all of your Oracle Tuxedo/Oracle SALT applications before reinstalling Oracle SALT.

•	Return to choose another BEA Home directory for Oracle SALT installation.

•	Click “No”. This option does not overwrite the previous installation. Click “Previous” to choose another BEA Home directory for Oracle SALT installation.

•	Exit the installation program.

•	Click “Cancel”. This option terminates the Oracle SALT installation program without taking any action.

•	Uninstall the previous Oracle SALT installation program (see Uninstalling Oracle SALT), and then reinstall the software as described in one of the following:

•	Oracle SALT GUI-Mode Installation

•	Oracle SALT Console-Mode Installation

•	Oracle SALT Silent Mode Installation

Installing Oracle SALT Rolling Patches

Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) uses rolling patches to maintain product fixes. A rolling patch installation is a complete Oracle SALT package containing the most recent software fixes. Rolling patches can be installed as follows:

•	An Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) rolling patch installation can be used if there is no previous Oracle SALT installation on the target Oracle Tuxedo directory.

•	An Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) rolling patch installation can be used to overwrite an existing Oracle SALT GA installation.

•	A higher-level Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) rolling patch installation can be used to overwrite an existing lower-level Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) rolling patch installation.

Rolling Back to a Previous Installation

To roll back a higher-level patched Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) installation to a lower one, you must do the following:

1.	Un-install Oracle SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2).

2.	Re-install the lower-level SALT 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.2) rolling patch installation program.
