This chapter explains how to install the Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, in these topics:
Before you install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite, you need to verify that your system meets the installation requirements and set environment variables. If your system does not have Oracle WebLogic Server installed, you need to install it in a new Middleware home. To provide accessibility on a Windows operating system, you can also install Java Access Bridge.
Before performing any installation, you should read the system requirements and certification documents to ensure that your environment meets the minimum installation requirements for the products you are installing. Both of these documents are available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
"Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications" at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm
This document contains information related to hardware and software requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, and required system libraries, packages, or patches.
"Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations" at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
This document contains information related to supported installation types, platforms, operating systems, databases, JDKs, and third-party products.
Notes:
|
Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite requires a Middleware home with Oracle WebLogic Server on your system. If your system does not already have Oracle WebLogic Server, you can install it in a new Middleware home directory, before or after installation of the database and creation of the schemas.
To install Oracle WebLogic Server in a Middleware home:
Insert the Oracle WebLogic Server DVD, or download the installer from the Oracle E-Delivery or Oracle Technology Network (OTN) web site.
For information about downloading Oracle WebLogic Server, see Section 1.2, "Software Downloads for Oracle ECM Installation and Configuration."
The 32-bit executable files from which you can install Oracle WebLogic Server are bundled with the appropriate JDK version. If you use the 64-bit installer, you will need to invoke the installer with a supported JDK for your platform. This supported JDK must be installed on your system before you install Oracle WebLogic Server because it is needed to run the JAR file.
On a Windows operating system, the JDK must be installed in a directory without spaces in the directory path (not underneath the \Program Files
directory).
For a list of supported JDKs for your operating system, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page on Oracle Technology Network at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
Either run your installer file directly from the DVD, or copy the file to your local system and run it locally, after considering these notes:
Before running the installer on a UNIX operating system that is running XWindows, you need to set your system's DISPLAY environment variable to a valid X Server to redirect the display to a system with suitable graphic capabilities.
If you installed a JDK for your system, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation location.
If you are installing Oracle WebLogic Server on a 64-bit system and using a 32/64-bit hybrid JDK (such as the HP JDK for HP-UX or SUN JDK for Solaris SPARC), you need to use the -d64
flag when you run the installer.
To validate that your JAVA_HOME environment variable refers to a 64-bit JDK when you use a 32/64-bit hybrid JDK, run either of the following commands, in which JAVA_HOME
is the value of the environment variable:
JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -version
To run the installer on a 32-bit Linux operating system, use this command:
./wls1034_linux32.bin
To run the installer on a 32-bit Windows operating system, use this command:
wls1034_win32.exe
To run the installer on a 64-bit UNIX operating system, use either of these commands, in which JAVA_HOME
is the location of the JDK:
JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar wls1034_generic.jar
JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -jar wls1034_generic.jar
To run the installer on a 64-bit Windows operating system, use this command:
JAVA_HOME\bin\java -jar wls1034_generic.jar
Welcome screen
Click Next.
Choose Middleware Home Directory screen
Select Create a new Middleware Home.
Specify a location for your new Middleware home directory, which MW_HOME
represents in path names. If this directory already exists on your system, the directory must be empty. If it does not already exist, then the installer creates it.
Note: Record this location because you will need to provide it during the installation of Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite. |
The default Oracle Middleware home is /Oracle/Middleware
on a UNIX operating system or \Oracle\Middleware
on a Windows operating system. For more information, see "Middleware Home and WebLogic Home Directories" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.

Click Next.
If you are prompted for a JDK location on a 64-bit system, specify a JDK:
Browse to the JDK location.
Select the directory that contains the bin directory
Click Next.
Choose Product Installation Directories screen
Specify a location for your Oracle WebLogic Server home directory, which WL_HOME
represents in path names in this document. The default location for WL_HOME
follows:
UNIX path: MW_HOME
/wlserver_10.3
Windows path: MW_HOME
\wlserver_10.3
You can also change the installation directory for Oracle Coherence. The default location follows:
UNIX path: MW_HOME
/coherence_3.6
Windows path: MW_HOME
\coherence_3.6
For more information about home directories, see "Middleware Home and WebLogic Home Directories" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.
You can also specify a JDK. To specify a JDK for a 64-bit operating system, you must select Custom and the installed 64-bit JDK.
Click Next.

If you are installing on a Windows operating system, you can install and configure Java Access Bridge for Section 508 Accessibility:
Download Java Access Bridge from the Java SE Desktop Accessibility page of the Sun Developer Network at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-136191.html
Install Java Access Bridge.
Copy the access-bridge.jar
and jaccess-1_4.jar
files from your installation location to the jre\lib\ext
directory.
Copy the WindowsAccessBridge.dll
, JavaAccessBridge.dll
, and JAWTAccessBridge.dll
files from your installation location to the jre\bin
directory.
Copy the accessibility.properties
file to the jre\lib
directory.
For more information about accessibility, see "Using Oracle Fusion Middleware Accessibility Options" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
If you are installing Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite on a DHCP host, follow the configuration steps in this section for your operating system.
Configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts
file on a UNIX operating system to contain the following entries:
127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
To check that the host name resolves to the loopback IP address, ping the domain. For example, on a Linux operating system you could use the following ping
command:
/bin/ping hostname.domainname
On a Solaris operating system, you could use the following ping
command:
/usr/sbin/ping hostname.domainname
On a Windows operating system, install a loopback adapter on the DHCP server (see Section 3.1.4.3, "Installing a Loopback Adapter on a Windows Operating System"). This assigns a local IP address to your computer.
After installing the adapter, add a line immediately after the localhost
line in the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
file, with the following format:
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Replace IP_address
with the local IP address of the loopback adapter, hostname
with the name of the host, and domainname
with the name of the domain.
On a Windows operating system, you can install a loopback adapter on the DHCP server to assign a local IP address to your computer.
To install a loopback adapter on a Windows operating system:
Open Control Panel.
Select Add Hardware.
In the "Welcome" window, click Next.
On the "Is the hardware connected?" window, select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, then click Next.
In the "The following hardware is already installed on your computer" window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device, then click Next.
In the "The wizard can help you install other hardware" window, select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, then click Next.
In the "From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing" window, select Network adapters, then click Next.
In the "Select Network Adapter" window, make the following selections:
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Network Adapter: Microsoft Loopback Adapter
Click Next.
In the "The wizard is ready to install your hardware" window, click Next.
In the "Completing the Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Finish.
Restart your computer.
Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections control panel.
Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named Local Area Connection 2. Choose Properties.
On the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.
In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address, and then do the following steps:
IP Address: Enter a nonroutable IP for the loopback adapter, such as one of the following nonroutable addresses:
192.168.x.x (x is any value between 1 and 255) 10.10.10.10
Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0
.
Record the values you entered. You will need them later in this procedure.
Leave all other fields empty.
Click OK.
In the Local Area Connection 2 Properties dialog box, click OK.
Close the Network Connections control panel.
Restart your computer.
You can remove a loopback adapter through Control Panel.
To remove a loopback adapter from a Windows operating system:
Start the System control panel.
Select Start > Control Panel > System.
On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
In the Device Manager window, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall.
Click OK.
You can install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite on a non-networked computer, such as a laptop. Because a non-networked computer has no access to other computers, you have to install all the components that you need on the computer.
In addition, you must follow the instructions in Section 3.1.4, "Configure a DHCP Host" to install a loopback adapter and modify the hosts
file on your system.
You can install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite on a multihomed computer. A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a host name; additionally, you can set up aliases for each host name.
The installer picks up the fully qualified domain name from the first entry in the hosts
file:
UNIX path: /etc/hosts
Windows path: %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
For example, the installer would pick up myhost1.example.com
for configuration if your file contains the following entries:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.148.56.76 myhost1.example.com myhost1 10.148.56.77 devhost2.example.com devhost2
For specific network configuration of a system component, refer to the individual component's configuration documentation.
You can install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite before or after you create schemas for the suite's applications. When you install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite, you perform a base installation of the following products in an ECM Oracle home directory on your system:
Oracle Universal Content Management (Oracle UCM)
Oracle Inbound Refinery (Oracle IBR)
Oracle Universal Records Management (Oracle URM)
You can install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite before or after you create schemas for the suite's applications. After installation, you can deploy any of these products to an Oracle WebLogic Server domain, as applications, by creating or extending an Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
Note: For document conversions on a Solaris SPARC platform, Oracle I/PM requires the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) package 3.4.2 or later in the/usr/local/packages directory.
Install this package on the Solaris operating system that will run Oracle I/PM. You can download GCC from the Sunfreeware web site at
You also need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to |
Before installing Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite on a Solaris operating system, you need to create a symbolic link to the chmod
command.
To create a symbolic link to the chmod command:
Log in as the root
user.
Execute the following command as root
:
ln -s /usr/bin/chmod /usr/local/bin/chmod
Log out, and then log back in with a different user name to start the installation.
Running the installer as the root
user is not supported.
The location of the installation log file depends on your operating system:
UNIX location: USER_HOME
/oraInventory/logs/install
date_time
Windows location: USER_HOME
\oraInventory\logs\install
date_time
You can start the Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite installer from Disk 1 of the suite's media:
UNIX command: ecm_media_loc
/Disk1/runInstaller -jreLoc
jre_location
If you do not specify the JRE location, you will be prompted for it.
Windows command: ecm_installer_loc
/Disk1/setup.exe -jreLoc
jre_location
If you double-click setup.exe
, you will be prompted for the JRE location. After you enter the path, click Enter to start the Oracle ECM installation.
The installer requires the location of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. A JRE was installed with Oracle Fusion Middleware. Table 3-1 shows the default JRE locations.

You can either use the -jreLoc
option or allow the installer to prompt for the directory containing the bin/java
directory
Note: Starting the installer as the userroot is not supported. |
If you are installing on a UNIX operating system, and if this is the first time any Oracle product is being installed on your system with the Oracle Universal Installer, you will be asked to provide the location of the inventory directory. This is where the installer will set up subdirectories and maintain inventory data for each Oracle product that is installed on the machine.
To provide the location of the inventory directory on a UNIX system:
On the Specify Inventory Directory screen, specify the location of the inventory directory.
This screen appears only on a UNIX operating system, for the first installation by Oracle Universal Installer. The installer will use the inventory directory to keep track of all Oracle products installed on the machine.
Take the action requested in the Inventory Location Confirmation dialog box.
This dialog box asks you to run the following script as the root
user:
inventory_directory/createCentralInventory.sh
If you do not have root
access on the machine but want to continue with the installation, select Continue installation with local inventory.
After you have started the installer, as described in Section 3.2.3, follow the instructions in Table 3-2 to install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suites.
If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, see Appendix A, "Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite Installation Screens," or click Help to access the online help.
