This chapter summarizes the tasks required to install and configure an installation of Oracle Communications Marketing and Advertising. This product is built on Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper, which is in turn built on Oracle WebLogic Server Release 11g Release 1.
Services Gatekeeper and WebLogic Server are automatically installed as part of an Marketing and Advertising installation, so no separate installations for these underlying products are required.
Manual installation of the underlying database software is required.
If you are already running Services Gatekeeper and you wish to use that installation to support Marketing and Advertising, see the special instructions in Chapter 7, "Using an Existing Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper."
If you are already running a previous version of Marketing and Advertising and wish to upgrade to this version, see the instructions in Chapter 8, "Upgrading and Patching".
The Marketing and Advertising installation should be performed only by qualified personnel. You should be familiar with Services Gatekeeper and the operating system on which you are installing the software. 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, for the database and Marketing and Advertising software, 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 the 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. For a detailed description of the system requirements, see Chapter 2, "System Requirements.".
As you create new user accounts, passwords, and configuration values, write them down. In some cases, you might need to these values later in the installation procedure.
The Marketing and Advertising installation program installs the following products:
WebLogic Server and optional sub-components
Services Gatekeeper
Marketing and Advertising
The installation program also allows you to selectively install one or more subcomponents of each of these product offerings. In addition, the installation program can also install the JRockit or Sun Java Development Kit (JDK).
Table 1-1 describes the high-level tasks that are required to install Marketing and Advertising. For information on installing an Oracle or MySQL database, refer to the documentation for those products.
