3 Upgrading the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Components

This chapter describes how to run the installer to upgrade the Oracle WebCenter Interaction components.

Before completing these steps you must complete the tasks described in Chapter 2, "Prerequisites."

Note:

Oracle WebCenter Interaction requires Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2005 SP1 Runtime Libraries. If you do not have these libraries, you are given the option to let the installer install the EN localized version of these libraries.

Before Running the Installer

You must complete the following steps before using the installer to upgrade the Oracle WebCenter Interaction components:

  1. If you have multiple search nodes in a search cluster, purge the contents of your search cluster using the cadmin tool.

    Note:

    All nodes in the cluster must be running to purge cluster contents.

    1. Log in to any of the computers hosting a cluster node.

    2. Change to the directory containing the cluster administration utility.

      The directory is install_dir\ptsearchserver\10.3.3\bin

    3. Execute cadmin purge --remove

  2. Shut down your search node(s):

    install_dir\ptsearchserver\10.3.3\bin\searchserverd.bat stop
    

    Note:

    This must be done on each computer that hosts a search node.

  3. Shut down your application server.

Running the Installer

Perform the following steps to run the installer:

  1. Log in to the host as the local Administrator.

  2. Close all programs.

  3. Launch the Oracle WebCenter Interaction installer.

    The installer file is named WebCenterInteraction_10.3.3.0.0.exe.

  4. Complete the installer wizard pages.

    Wizard Page Description

    Introduction

    This installer wizard page provides a brief description of the installer and describes how to run the installer in silent mode.

    Installation Folder

    Accept the default installation folder or select a different folder in which to install Oracle WebCenter Interaction.

    Default: C:\Oracle\Middleware\wci

    Choose Components

    Select either Complete or Custom. If you select Complete, a full set of Oracle WebCenter Interaction components is installed. If you select Custom, you can select individual portal components to install according to your deployment plan.

    Configuration Manager - Port and Password

    Enter the port and password for the Configuration Manager Web tool. The Configuration Manager will be used to complete the installation of Oracle WebCenter Interaction.

    Web Application Environment: .NET or Java

    Select .NET (IIS) or Java.

    Select IIS Web Site

    If you chose .NET IIS as your Web application environment, select Use Default Web Site if you want the component or components being installed deployed to port 80, the default HTTP port.

    Select Use another Web site if other applications are using port 80 and you do not want to share the port.

    Specify IIS Web Site Information

    If you chose to deploy the portal to a Web site other than the default Web site, enter the IIS Web site name and HTTP and HTTPS ports you want to use for accessing the portal.

    Example Web site name: WCI

    Example HTTP port: 8082

    Example HTTPS port: 9092

    Note: If the name you enter is not the name of an existing IIS Web site, a new Web site is created. If the Web site already exists, the secure and non-secure ports will be changed to the entries made in the installer.

    Auto-Deployment to a Java Web Application Server

    If you chose Java as your Web application environment, select a Web application server to which you want to auto-deploy the Portal.

    Select Manual to manually deploy the portal to a Web application server.

    Specify WebLogic Deployment Information

    If you chose WebLogic as your Web application server, enter the Oracle WebLogic Server home directory, domain home, host name, port, domain, server, administrator user and administrator user password.

    Note: Oracle WebLogic Server domain and server names are case-sensitive. If the letter casing you enter does not match the running Oracle WebLogic Server domain and server, auto-deployment fails.

    Click Help for further details on this installer wizard page.

    Image Service: Auto-Deployment to Apache

    If you chose to manually deploy your Web application server, select Apache to have the Image Service automatically deployed to Apache.

    Select Manual if you prefer to use a Web server other than Apache.

    Apache Deployment Information

    If you chose to auto-deploy the image service to Apache, enter the Apache configuration directory.

    Example directory: C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\

    Enter the Apache Windows service name.

    Example name: Apache2

    Image Service Compression on IIS

    The Enable Image Service HTTP Compression checkbox is selected by default. Clear the checkbox if you do not want to use HTTP compression.

    Standalone or Cluster

    Select whether you would like to install a Single Standalone Search Node or add a Search Cluster Node. Selecting to install the standalone search node installs a single node on the local computer. If you want to support failover, add search cluster nodes.

    Adding New Search Node

    Enter the name and port number of the new search node.

    The search node is installed into install_dir\ptsearchserver\10.3.3.

    Search Cluster Files

    If you chose to install a search cluster node, select the location of the search cluster files. You must have permission to access and write to the location where you want to install these files.

    Example: install_dir\ptsearchserver\10.3.3\cluster

    Content Service for Documentum - Application Port

    Choose whether to use a secure protocol (https) for the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Content Service for Documentum or a standard protocol (http).

    Specify your port number. The default port is 11951. Make sure to enter the SSL port number if using https.

    Documentum Client Library

    Enter the path to your Documentum client library.

    Example: C:\Program Files\Documentum\dctm.jar

    Specify your port number. The default port is 11950. Make sure to enter the SSL port number if using https.

    Fully Qualified Domain Name

    Enter the fully qualified domain name for the computer hosting Oracle WebCenter Interaction Identity Service for Microsoft Active Directory.

    Interaction Development Kit: .NET Signed or Unsigned

    Choose whether to install the .NET signed or unsigned version of the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit (IDK).

    Fully Qualified Domain Name

    Enter the fully qualified domain name for the computer hosting Oracle WebCenter Console for Microsoft SharePoint.

    Pre-Installation Summary

    Review the list of components to be installed.

    Click Install.

    Launch Configuration Manager

    Launch the Configuration Manager.

    The Configuration Manager is located at:

    https://host:port

    Where host is the host you are installing on and port is the port you specified.

    Log in to the Configuration Manager using the user name administrator and the password you specified on the Configuration Manager – Port and Password page.

    The Configuration Manager displays a list of all recently installed components. Clicking the link next to each component leads you through the settings you must configure to complete the installation. For information on the settings in the Configuration Manager, refer to the Configuration Manager online help or to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Interaction.

    When you have completed all Configuration Manager tasks, return to the installer.

    Application Settings Confirmation

    Choose whether you have completed configuration of your application settings or want to complete configuration later.

    Install Complete

    When the installer is finished, you might be asked to restart your computer to complete installation. If prompted, choose whether to restart your computer now or manually at another time. Click Done.

    Note: The Oracle WebCenter Interaction installer launches additional installers depending on the components you chose to install. You might be prompted by one of the additional component installers to restart your computer before the Oracle WebCenter Interaction installer is finished. If you are prompted to restart your computer while another installer is running, select the option to manually restart your computer later. Then, if you are not prompted to restart your computer after the final installer is finished, restart your computer manually.
