Duplicating a Proxy Installation

To set up a replicated Oracle Unified Directory proxy, you must duplicate your Oracle Unified Directory proxy installation.

To Duplicate a Proxy Installation Using the GUI

If you are using the graphical install wizard to set up Oracle Unified Directory proxy, you can copy the commands that are launched by the wizard prior to completing the installation. The commands displayed by the install wizard are a good starting point for scripting an installation.

1. Using the graphical install wizard, define the proxy installation but do not click Finish.
2. On the Review page, select the Show Commands button from the top right.
3. Copy the commands that are displayed.
4. Paste them into a text file.

   You can now complete your first installation by clicking Finish.

5. Edit the commands to modify the port, the hostname, and the password.

   Replace the generic asinst variable with the appropriate instance name, either by anticipating the instance name, or by setting the INSTANCE_NAME variable. You might also need to quote certain arguments, depending on your shell scripting language.

6. Save the updated file as a script.
7. On the machine where you want to host the next Oracle Unified Directory proxy instance, install the Oracle Unified Directory software, as described in Installing Oracle Unified Directory.
8. Change to the ORACLE_HOME subdirectory.

   (UNIX, Linux)  $ cd OUD-base-location/ORACLE_HOME
   (Windows)      C:\> cd OUD-base-location\ORACLE_HOME

9. Run the script that you saved in Step 5.

To Duplicate Your Proxy Installation Using the Installation Log File

When you have completed a proxy installation, a log file named oud-setup saves the commands of the installation. You can use this file to duplicate an Oracle Unified Directory proxy instance.

1. Change to the logs directory.

   $ cd OUD-base-location/instance-name/OUD/logs

2. Open the file oud-setup.
3. Edit the commands to modify the port, the hostname, and the password of the new proxy instance.

   Replace the generic asinst variable with the appropriate instance name, either by anticipating the instance name, or by setting the INSTANCE_NAME variable. You might also need to quote certain arguments, depending on your shell scripting language.

4. Save the updated file as a script.
5. On the machine where you want to host the next Oracle Unified Directory proxy instance, install the Oracle Unified Directory software, as described in Installing Oracle Unified Directory.
6. Change to the ORACLE_HOME subdirectory.

   (UNIX, Linux)  $ cd OUD-base-location/ORACLE_HOME
   (Windows)      C:\> cd OUD-base-location\ORACLE_HOME

7. Run the script that you saved in Step 4.
