This chapter contains the following topics:
This guide is designed to direct you through a basic JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installation using Oracle VM templates for the Enterprise Server, Database Server and HTML Server. It is not a substitute for the database administration manuals provided by your Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) vendor, the network administration manuals provided by your network vendor, or the installation and configuration manuals for third-party products used with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
The instructions in this guide also assume that Oracle VM software is already installed.
Note:
You should always check My Oracle Support (MOS) for updates to this guide subsequent to the initial release. Generally, this document is republished in its entirety only for the next major applications release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. This document can be located on MOS by searching for:Oracle VM Templates for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (Doc ID 884592.1)
This guide contains only the procedures required for a typical base installation with predefined typical environments and databases. You can add on additional components after the Express Install by following procedures in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.0 Installation Guide for Oracle on Unix, is available in this document on My Oracle Support:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.0 Installation Guides, Update (Doc ID 705463.1)
This guide is designed for management information system (MIS) managers and installers. It outlines the procedures for installing Release 9.0. To successfully install Release 9.0, you must understand:
Hardware and software requirements
Database setup and management
Enterprise platforms and operating systems
At a minimum, review these guides before beginning:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Foundation Guide
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools 8.9 Configurable Network Computing Implementation Guide
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools System Administration Guide
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Package Management Guide
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server and Workstation Administration Guide
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Security Administration Guide
In addition, it is recommended to complete the database product courses that your database vendors provide.
This documentation explains the process used to install JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications and Tools Release software components for use with Oracle Virtual Machines using these five (5) steps:
Install Server Manager
Note:
You will need to download Server Manager from edelivery.oracle.com and follow the installation instructions in the Server Manager Guide.The Oracle VM templates assume that Server Manager has been installed on the Deployment Server. The control files for the Server Manager Agents on the Oracle VM templates are updated and delivered to point to the Deployment Server.
Install Change Assistant
Note:
The Change Assistant install download is available on My Oracle Support on the Electronic Software Updates page at this link:https://updatecenter.oracle.com/res/patches/70/ChangeAssistant.html
Install the Deployment Server (see below for concurrent operations)
Create the Enterprise, Database and HTML Server Virtual Machines
Note:
For Release 9.0, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server is mandatory to run web-enabled JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications, which includes all end-user applications and selected tools applications.For Release 9.0, the current terminology and that used in this guide is to refer to the machine running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Java Application Server (JAS) as the HTML Web Server. Functionally, these terms are all synonymous. However, this guide only uses the terms JAS or Java Server when explicitly labeled as such by the software.
Install the workstations for developers and system administrators
Note:
You can concurrently install the Deployment Server and create the Enterprise Server, Database Server and HTML Web Server virtual machines This can decrease the overall time it takes to complete the installation.The supplied Deployment Server DVDs and templates for the Enterprise Server and the Database Server each contain a complete install of the four standard environments (PS900, PY900, PD900 and DV900) - with ESUs applied. The HTML Server template contains only the DV900 environment (JAS898DV).

Note:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 9.0 does not support coexistence.Note:
The Oracle VM templates are used to create the Enterprise, Database and HTML Web Server virtual machines for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. As is the case for all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installations, the Deployment Server must be installed using a separate standalone installer on a Microsoft Windows machine.The Deployment Server is the focus of the Release 9.0 installation process. The installation program for the Deployment Server copies the Release 9.0 software and a language, if applicable, from the CD to the Deployment Server. From the Deployment Server, the Release 9.0 software is distributed to one or more workstations. Since the Deployment Server installer is separate from creating the Enterprise / Database / HTML Server Virtual machines, you can run these installations concurrently to decrease the overall installation time.
The Deployment Server installation program updates the Microsoft Windows registry with information about the Release 9.0 installation and languages, if applicable.
The Oracle VM templates for the Enterprise Server and the Database Server virtual machines contain a complete installation of these four standard environments:
PS900
PY900
PD900
DV900
The Oracle VM template for the HTML Web Server virtual machine contains a complete installation of a single environment:
DV900
When you start these virtual machines for the first time, a script updates the database tables and control files on these servers with your machine names. This greatly reduces the overall install time for the servers. Since the Deployment Server installer is separate from creating the server virtual machines, these processes can be run concurrently.
The Web Development Client is installed on the workstations from the Deployment Server. The Web Development Client is installed on workstations using the Workstation Installation program. During the installation, a stand-alone Microsoft Windows application reads the deployment preferences information from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system tables to drive the workstation installation process.
Customers must conform to the supported platforms for the release as detailed in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Minimum Technical Requirements. In addition, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne may integrate, interface, or work in conjunction with other Oracle products. Refer to the following link for cross-reference material in the Program Documentation for Program prerequisites and version cross-reference documents to assure compatibility of various Oracle products.

Access the current Minimum Technical Requirements (MTR) from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com) by searching for this document:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Current MTR Index [ID 747323.1]
Within the MTR index, search for the section entitled: Virtualization.
The Release 9.0 support structure consists of components such as databases, operating systems, and hardware. To install Release 9.0 successfully, set up the support structure before starting the installation process.
The tasks in this section are designed to prepare the customer's system for the installation process. Some of the tasks, such as checking that the appropriate hardware and software are available, can take some time to complete. Other tasks are quick and easy.
This checklist helps to organize the required upgrade preparation:
Review the Section called Environments Overview.
Assess the network.
Verify that the Deployment Server hardware and software meet minimum technical requirements.
Verify that the Oracle VM Server (OVS) host hardware and software meet minimum technical requirements.
Verify that the workstation hardware and software meet minimum technical requirements.
Verify that the Deployment Server disk space meets minimum technical requirements.
Verify that the OVS host disk space meets minimum technical requirements.
A Pre-Install Worksheet is provided in this guide to gather information about your planned installation prior to installing the Oracle VM templates themselves. Using this worksheet decreases the chances for data entry errors and makes for a documented and repeatable process. Since the scripts used to create the Oracle VM templates are designed to execute only once, incorrect deployment will necessitate the deletion of the Oracle VM and require that the process be re-run. Refer to the section of this guide entilted: Completing the Pre-Install Worksheet.
The HTML Web Server (J) environments have the same mappings as the regular environments with the exception of logic, all of which is mapped to run on the Enterprise Server.
Each environment shipped with Release 9.0 has a specific use. For more detail, refer to these sections in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.0 Installation Guide for Oracle on Unix:
Understanding Environments
Planner Environment (JDEPLAN)
Pristine Environment (PS900)
Deployment Environment (DEP900)
Prototype Environment (PY900)
Production Environment (PD900)
Development Environment (DV900)
