This chapter provides the steps to prepare for the installation of Oracle On Track. Ensure that your system environment meets the general installation requirements before installing Oracle On Track.
The following sections describe the installation prerequisites:
Before performing any installation, you should read the system requirements and certification documentation to ensure that your environment meets the minimum installation requirements for the products you are installing. The system requirements for running the installation program are listed in Table 2-1.
| Category | Requirement |
|---|---|
|
Platform configuration |
A supported configuration of hardware, operating system, JDK, and database specific to the product you are installing. For information about other prerequisites and recommendations, see the Certifications tab at |
|
Character Set AL32UTF8 |
The database must be in AL32UTF8 set. |
|
Color bit depth display and size |
For Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode installation, 8-bit color depth (256 colors) is required. For console-mode and silent-mode installation, there is no color bit depth requirement. |
|
JDK |
The Oracle WebLogic Server installation program requires a Java run-time environment (JRE) to run. A JRE is bundled in the Windows installation program and in some UNIX installation programs (those with file names ending in |
|
Oracle Outside In |
Oracle Outside In requires access to True Type fonts that match the fonts in uploaded documents, in order to generate thumbnail and page images. If you don't have appropriate fonts, then characters appear as asterisks (*). As part of install setup, an administrator should make sure the system has appropriate fonts installed, and then set the font path from the Oracle On Track Administrator Console. Oracle Outside In do not recursively descend the font directory to look for its fonts. So if you have your fonts in Typically for SLES 11, run the following command: FONTS:/usr/share/fonts/Type1 For Solaris: FONTS:/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 FONTS :/usr/share/fonts/liberation |
|
SuSE 11 |
lSuSE 11 32 bit requires ibstdc++33 package version 3.3.3-7.1. SuSE 11 64 bit requires libstdc++33 and libstdc++33-32bit versions 3.3.3-7.1. |
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) secures communication by providing message encryption, integrity, and authentication.
When a client initiates an SSL session, the server typically sends its certificate to the client. The client verifies that the server is authentic by validating the certificate chain in the server certificate. The server certificate is guaranteed by the certificate authority (CA) who signed the server certificate.
Even though a valid certificate is always preferred, a test or self-signed certificate can be used when the user approves the hosting site. The user is warned if the site's certificate is not valid before the approval.
For non-SSL configured servers, the user is able to approve for the current session but is not be allowed to permanently store the trust relationship. In this way, the security is not compromised as DNS spoofing or cache poisoning can be used to turn any malicious site into approved but unprotected site.
The installation of Oracle On Track consists of the following steps:
The configuration of Oracle On Track requires the availability of a supported database. The database must be up and a database instance must be running. It does not have to be on the same machine where you are installing Oracle On TRack.
Oracle On Track requires the availability of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with Oracle Text and Secure Files.
For the latest information about supported databases, see the Certification Tab at
The database must also be compatible with RCU, which creates the schemas for the Oracle On Track.
Note:
RCU is available only for a Linux or Windows operating system. You can use either the Linux-based RCU or Windows-based RCU to create schemas in any supported database.For more information about Oracle Database, see the Oracle Database Documentation page on Oracle Technology Network at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/documentation/database-093888.html
Oracle On Track requires an Oracle Fusion Middleware home with Oracle WebLogic Server on your system. Oracle On Track supports Oracle Web Logic Server 10.3.3 and higher versions.
A Middleware home is a container for the Oracle WebLogic Server home, and, optionally, one Oracle Common home and one or more Oracle homes, with a directory structure as follows:
/middleware_home
coherence_3.6
jdk160_21
jrockit_160_20_1.1.0-2119
logs
modules
wlserver_10.3
oracle_common
utils
ECM_Oracle_ONTRACK1
user_projects
The default Oracle Middleware home is /Oracle/Middleware on Linux and UNIX-based operating system or c:\Oracle\Middleware on a Windows operating system. MW_HOME represents the location of a Middleware home in path names. More information on the Oracle Web Logic Server is available at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/documentation/index.html
For more information about the structure and contents of a Middleware home, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
The product installation directory, where you install Oracle On Track, contains all the software components that you choose to install on your computer, including program files and examples.
For example, the default installation directory for Oracle WebLogic Server is $MW_HOME\wlserver<version>.
The installation program installs the software components in a product installation directory represented by the MW_HOME variable (the default is Oracle\Middleware).
You can run the installation program in the following modes:
Graphical Mode: Graphical-mode installation is an interactive, GUI-based method for installing your software. It can be run on both Windows and UNIX systems. For graphical installation procedures, see Installing in Graphical Mode.
Silent Mode: Silent-mode installation is a non-interactive method of installing your software. You use .rsp response file to specify the installation options. You can run silent-mode installation from either a script or from the command line. Silent-mode installation allows you to define the installation configuration only once, and then use that configuration to duplicate the installation on many machines. For more information about silent mode installation, see Installing in Silent Mode.
You need to install and run the Oracle Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create a database schema for each Oracle On Track application that you plan to configure.
RCU is available in your shiphome as rcuontrack_home.zip for Linux and rcuontracknt_home.zip for Windows. Unzip the file and extract the contents to a directory of your choice. Start RCU from the bin directory as follows:
On Linux operating systems
./rcu
On Windows operating systems
rcu.bat
Note:
UNIX-based operating systems do not support RCU.After starting RCU, follow the instructions in Table 2-2 to create schemas.

For information about installing and running RCU, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide.
You must create an Oracle WebLogic Server domain if it does not already exist. If you already have a domain, you must extend the domain before it can run the Oracle On Track application. For more information on this, see Creating or Extending a Domain.
The installation program uses a temporary directory into which it extracts the files that are needed to install the software on the target system.
Depending on the platform that you are using, the requirement for temporary disk space may vary from 50 to 100 MB. The files in the temporary directory require approximately 2.5 times the space that is ultimately required for the installation.
During the installation process, your temporary directory must contain sufficient space to accommodate the compressed Java Run-time Environment (JRE) bundled with the installation program and a non-compressed copy of the JRE that is expanded into the temporary directory. The extracted files are deleted from the temporary directory after the installation process.
