4.1 Understanding the Platform Pack

The Platform Pack installs these major components:

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server code

• JD Edwards EnterpriseOne database files

Note:

Assuming the installation programs are run on different machines, you can concurrently install these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne servers:

• Deployment Server

• Platform Pack on Enterprise Server and/or Database Server

• HTML Server

This can decrease the overall time it takes to complete the installation.

Note:

To reinstall any Enterprise Server components, refer to Section 4.10, "Rerunning the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer".

This table lists the mandatory and optional components of the Platform Pack installation:

Server	Mandatory Component	Optional Components
Enterprise Server	JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation	ES Production ES Prototype ES Development ES Pristine
Database Server	System Database	Production Databases Prototype Databases Development Databases Pristine Databases

Note:

Microsoft Windows Considerations. Microsoft clustering is supported for system failover protection.

As detailed in the Minimum Technical Requirements, install any Microsoft Windows server upgrades that are required to support Release 9.1.

Before you install Release 9.1 software on the Microsoft Windows Enterprise Server, you must create the Release 9.1 administrator user, verify disk space, and set up and verify the hosts file.

4.2 Platform Pack Process Flow

The Platform Pack installation process upgrades Release 9.1 system and path code files.

The diagram below illustrates the process flow for the Oracle Universal Installer for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack.

4.3 Understanding System Account Security for DB2 UDB Databases

The Platform Pack installer creates a system account for each datasource owner plus JDE. If you specify to use the DEFAULT password, these accounts are assigned the same password as the owner. For example, the datasource owner sy910 is created with password SY910.

If these passwords violate your security policy, the Platform Pack install will fail. In this case you will need to specify a SECURE PASSWORD that will not violate your security policy The secure password will be used for all users that the Platform Pack creates. Refer to Section 4.12, "Working with Database Security" to create password overrides onto the Deployment Server for purposes of running the Planner and Installation Workbenches.

If you need to create new accounts, you should use this list of Release 9.1 users and add owshare as a primary group:

Environment	Datasource Account
All environments	dd910 ol910 sy910 svm910
Production environment	prodctl proddta pd910
Prototype environment	crpctl crpdta py910
Pristine environment	ps910ctl ps910dta ps910
Development environment	testctl testdta dv910

4.4 Troubleshooting IBM DB2 9.7 Database Installations

This section provides some basic troubleshooting tips if you are having trouble with your IBM DB2 9.7 installation. It discusses these topics:

• Section 4.4.1, "SQL5005C System Error"

• Section 4.4.2, "Windows Server 2008 64-bit - SQLDriverConnect Failure"

4.4.1 SQL5005C System Error

If on every reboot after installation of IBM DB2 9.7 you get a SQL5005C System Error, then you should add your user account to the local DB2ADMNS and to the local DB2USERS group. These groups are created during the IBM DB2 installation, but left empty.

4.4.2 Windows Server 2008 64-bit - SQLDriverConnect Failure

This section is applicable if you receive the below error on Windows Server 2008 64-bit while running porttest:

756\1640 MAIN_THREAD Mon Nov 16 03:05:13.991000 Jdbodbc.c1339
  ODB0000163 - SQLDriverConnect failure. rc=-1

  756\1640 MAIN_THREAD Mon Nov 16 03:05:13.991006 Jdb_rq1.c2432
  JDB3100013 - Failed to get connectinfo

The likely cause of this error is because the ODBC datasources for JDE910, JDE_DEV, JDE_PROD, and so on were created in an incorrect location, such as this 32-bit directory and file:

\System32\odbcad32.exe

For 64-bit systems, the correct location in which these datasources should be created is in this directory and file and directory:

\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

To remedy, launch the odbcad32.exe as an Administrator from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and manually create the datasources.

/usr/lib/sysctl.d/00-system.conf

4.5 Configuring the Enterprise Server Prior to Installing the Platform Pack

This section discusses:

 

• Section 4.5.1, "Setting Up and Verifying the Hosts File"

See Also

Section 2.7, "Verifying Software and Hardware Requirements" for more information about software requirements.

Microsoft Cluster Administrator Guide or Microsoft Windows Server 4 Second Edition for more information on using cluster software.

Release 9.1 on a Cluster section in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server and Workstation Administration Guide for more information about clustering.

4.5.1 Setting Up and Verifying the Hosts File

If you use the Domain Naming Service (DNS) or the Microsoft Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), you do not need to set up and verify the hosts file.

To set up and verify the Hosts file:

1. Using Microsoft Windows Explorer, access this directory:

   \Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts

2. For each Enterprise Server on your network, you will need a machine IP address, and a machine name.

3. Verify that the address and name are each on a separate line, and that there is a return character at the end of each line.

   A pound sign (#) marks the start of a comment, and the end-of-line (return) character marks the end of a comment.

4. If clustering is being used, verify that the cluster name is used as the machine name, not one of the server names.

4.6 Verifying Code Page Settings for DB2 UDB

To ensure that your DB2 UDB database has the correct settings for Release 9.1:

1. From the DB2 command window, enter this DB2 Profile Registry command:

   db2set -all

   The list of registry variables appears.

2. Search for the DB2CODEPAGE variable.

   If that variable is not listed, DB2 is using the default code page setting for the ANSI code pageLocal setting.

4.7 Installing the Platform Pack

This section discusses:

• Section 4.7.1, "Running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer"

• Section 4.7.2, "Verifying the Platform Pack Log File"

4.7.1 Running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer

Caution:

If you are installing the Enterprise Server and the Database Server on different machines, you cannot run the installer on the Enterprise Server and install the Database Server remotely. You must copy the installer images to the Database Server and run the installer on that machine. For the Enterprise Server only, you will need the image for disk1. For a Database Server, you will need the disk1 image plus the database disk images.

Note:

Prior to running the Platform Pack Installer, ensure your DB2 UDB account on the Enterprise Server has proper rights as described in Section 2.4.4, "Ensuring Proper Rights are Assigned to the Enterprise Server Account for DB2 UDB"

To run the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer:

1. Log on to the Enterprise Server as a user with Administrative rights.

   Caution:

   Ensure that the Administrator account name that you use does not contain any special characters.

2. Create a folder into which you will copy the .zip file of the Platform Pack image. In addition to the Platform Package image, you will copy one .zip file image of the UDB database into this same directory. The directory can be any name but cannot contain spaces or special characters in the directory path. For example, the folder might be named:

   c:\WinPPack

   Caution:

   Do not extract the database files into a directory other than the same base directory for the Platform Pack installation. You cannot end up with a functional installation with a structure such as:

   c:\WinPPack\udb\udb

3. Extract the two zip files within the root of the folder created above. Using the example in this guide, a correctly extracted structure is:

   
   

4. In the above extracted structure, locate the setup.exe file under the \install subdirectory, right-click on it, and select Run as Administrator.

   Note:

   The Oracle Universal Installer takes a few minutes to start up.
   
   

5. On Welcome, click the Next button.

   
   

6. On Select Installation Type, choose your installation type:

   • Custom

     In most cases this is the mode you should choose for Upgrades.

     This mode is recommended for experienced users, choose this setup type if you wish to complete the Platform Pack installation by specifying the installation of a subset of pre-defined environments.

     Tip:

     If you choose Custom installation, continue with the steps below in this task which immediately follow.

   • Typical

     Choose this setup type if you wish to complete the Platform Pack installation with no further specifications. This installation option includes the required JD Edwards EnterpriseOne files for the Prototype and Pristine environments.

7. Click the Next button.

   
   

8. On Specify Home Details, complete these fields:

   • Name

     Caution:

     Do not accept the default value for this field. If any Oracle product is already installed, the installer automatically populates this field with the existing ORACLE_HOME values, which will be incorrect for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

     Enter a unique name for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack installation. For example:

     JDE_PPack_910_HOME

     Caution:

     Due to Java file and directory naming conventions, the directory name you specify here cannot contain special characters or blank (space) characters.

   • Path

     Caution:

     Do not accept the default value for this field. If any Oracle product is already installed the installer automatically populates this field with the value corresponding to the home for the ORACLE_HOME of the installed product, which will be incorrect for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

     Enter the drive and directory where you want the files installed on your Enterprise Server. For example:

     Z:\JDEdwardsPPack\E910

     If you are rerunning the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer, refer to Section 4.10, "Rerunning the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer".

9. Click the Next button.

   If you chose the Typical installation type, the Available Products screen will not display; you can skip to the Step 11.

   If you chose the Custom installation type, the Oracle Universal Installer displays a list of available JD Edwards EnterpriseOne product components, as shown in the example below:

   
   

   Tip:

   Use the scroll bar to on the right hand side of the screen to view the complete list of available components.

   On Available Product Components, select from these choices:

   JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Database Server

   • System Database

     Note:

     This selection includes mandatory system tables. If you do not select this box and the OUI installer does not detect that the component was previously installed, it selects this component automatically. Likewise, if you rerun the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to add an environment it will check to ensure that this component has already been installed and you will not be given an option to install the environment on a machine, drive, or directory that is different from that which contains the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne System Database.

   • Production Databases

   • Prototype Databases

   • Development Databases

   • Pristine Databases

   JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server

   • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation

     Note:

     This selection includes system files. You must choose this feature for all initial installations of the Enterprise Server. If you do not select this feature, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer automatically selects it for installation.

   • ES Production

   • ES Prototype

   • ES Development

   • ES Pristine

   Note:

   For Upgrades, you should always select the Pristine environment. Otherwise, Table Conversions may not process correctly.

10. After you have verified your selection of components, click the Next button.

    
    

11. On Would you like to Install or Upgrade EnterpriseOne?, choose whether you want to install or upgrade JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. The list below describes each run mode.

    • Install (Install EnterpriseOne)

      In this mode, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer checks for the existence of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business data and control tables; if either exists, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer aborts. This prevents the inadvertent overwriting of existing critical business data and control tables. If the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer does not detect pre-existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data or control tables, the installation process continues normally.

      Caution:

      You should always back up all databases that you want to preserve.

    • Upgrade (Upgrade EnterpriseOne)

      In this mode, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer checks for the existence of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business data and control tables which are prerequisites to an upgrade of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

      Caution:

      You should always back up all databases that you want to preserve.

12. Click the Next button.

    The installer prompts for the DB2 UDB database instance name:

    
    

    On DB2 UDB Database, enter the Instance Name for your DB2 UDB database and click the Next button. For remote database servers, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer cannot validate this value. Click the Next button to continue.

    
    

13. On Database Options, complete these fields:

    • Database Type

      Use the pulldown to choose DB2 UDB.

    • Database Server

      By default, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer automatically detects and populates this field with the machine name on which it is running. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer validates the Database Server name and compares it against the name of the local computer. If these values are different (for example, if you manually change the value of this field), the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer assumes the Database Server is either a clustered or remote server. If you have selected to install databases, and the database server name that you entered cannot be validated, an error dialog is displayed with resolution instructions. Refer to the section of this chapter entitled: Section 4.9.2, "Warning - Database Server Name Does Not Match".

      For additional details on all Platform Pack error conditions, refer to the section of this guide entitled: Section 4.9, "Troubleshooting Platform Pack Installation".

      Caution:

      If you are installing the Enterprise Server and the Database Server on different machines, you cannot run the installer on the Enterprise Server and install the Database Server remotely. You must copy the installer images to the Database Server and run the installer on that machine. For the Enterprise Server only, you will need the image for disk1. For a Database Server, you will need the disk1 image plus the database disk images.

    • Secure Password

      If you wish to change the default password that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installer uses to connect to your UDB database, you can enter a secure password. The maximum length of the password is 10 characters.

      Caution:

      The non-encrypted value for the Secure Password is stored in the UDB_set.bat file. This password is used to load the database components. Oracle strongly recommends that you erase this value once the database scripts have run successfully.

      Note: If you subsequently add an additional database component, you must set the value in the set script back to the Secure Password before running the scripts or the OUI installer (which calls the scripts) for the additional components.

      Note:

      If you do not change the default value (DEFAULT), the system creates a password for each user where the password is the same as their user ID. For example, if a user ID is JDE, then by default the system creates a corresponding password of JDE for that user.

      Caution:

      If you change the default password in the Platform Pack installation for your Enterprise Server, you must also manually change the [DSPWD] section in the jde.ini on the Deployment Server and specify the new secure password that you are using. If you fail to synchronize these database password settings, the various Installation Workbenches will not be able to connect to the database.

    • Confirm Password

      Re-enter the password.

14. 
    

    On DB2 UDB Database Information, complete these fields:

    Caution:

    You should always consult with a DBA for the proper location of the tablespaces on your machine. Do not create the tablespaces in a location with a child relationship to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installation directory. For example, the installation directory might be:

    /u01/JDEdwardsPPack/E910

    c:\JDEdwardsPPack\E910

    This practice avoids a potential problem that could occur as a result of actions against the parent directory adversely impacting the child directory.

    • Instance Name

      The default value for this field is blank. You should manually enter the name of your DB2 UDB instance. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer validates the value you enter in this field. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer will not allow you to continue if the value cannot be validated.

    • Number of IO Servers

      Enter the number of physical disk drives on the database server.

    • Does Server Use Raid?

      Use the pulldown menu to choose Yes or No.

    • Tablespace Directory

      Enter a path where you want the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to create your DB2 UDB databases. For example:

      /u01/jdedwardsppack/UDB/Tables

      c:\jdedwardsppack\UDB\Tables

    • Index Directory

      Enter a path where you want the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to create your DB2 UDB indexes. For example:

      /u01/jdedwardsppack/UDBIndexes

      c:\jdedwardsppack\UDB\Indexes

    • Lob Directory

      Enter a path where you want the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to create your DB2 UDB LOBs (large objects). For example:

      /u01/jdedwardsppack/UDB/LOB

      c:\jdedwardsppack\UDB\LOB

    • Log Directory

      Enter a path where you want the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to create your DB2 UDB logs. For example:

      /u01/jdedwardsppack/UDB/Logs

      c:\jdedwardsppack\UDB\Logs

    • Temp Directory

      Enter a path where you want the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to create your DB2 UDB temp directory. For example:

      /u01/jdedwardsppack/UDB/Temp

      c:\jdedwardsppack\UDB\Temp

    • Run Scripts Option

      The default value is Run Scripts Automatically.

      Optionally, you can use the pulldown to choose Run Scripts Manually. If you choose this option, refer to a later section in the chapter entitled: Manually Running the Database Creation Scripts.

    
    

15. On Summary, in the top half of the screen, review your selections and in the bottom half of the screen review the NOTES, which detail the disk space requirements for OUI support files and also for the Platform Pack being installed on this machine.

16. Click the Install button.

    As the installer runs it displays the Install progress, as shown in the following example.

    
    

    After the installation is complete, the following End of Installation screen is displayed.

    
    

17. On End of Installation, verify the installation of the EnterpriseOne Platform Pack was successful.

    Review the Please remember ... portion for the installer log file location. The log file name is specified with the date and stamp when the installer ran. For example:

    c:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2011-08-09_04-11-06-PM.log

18. Click the Exit button to exit OUI.

    
    

19. On Exit, click the Yes button.

4.7.2 Verifying the Platform Pack Log File

You can verify that the Platform Pack Installer ran properly by viewing the log file. The log file name is specified with the date and stamp when the installer ran. For example:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2011-08-09_04-11-06-PM.log

4.8 Manually Running the Database Creation Scripts - Windows with UDB

Once the Platform Pack install has successfully completed on the Windows-based Enterprise Server, the UDB database creation scripts and dump files are located in the EnterpriseOne install location on the Enterprise Server. For example:

Z:\JDEdwardsPPack\E910\UDB

As it runs, the Platform Pack installer edits the script that sets the environment variables. You can review this script for accuracy:

UDB_set.BAT

To manually run the UDB database installation scripts:

1. Sign on to the Enterprise Server as a UDB instance owner with a Windows account that is part of the DB2ADMNS group.

2. Start the db2cmd window with Run As Administrator.

3. Navigate to the UDB folder within the install location. For example:

   x:\JDEdwardsPPack\E910\UDB

4. Verify that DATABASE_INSTALL_PATH in InstallUDBDatabase.bat is set to the current directory:

   @cd \d x:\JDEdwardsPPack\E910\UDB

5. Run the InstallUDBDatabase.bat script.

6. Check the logs in the logs directory.

4.9 Troubleshooting Platform Pack Installation

This section discusses these potential error or warning conditions and their probable causes and resolutions when running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer:

• Section 4.9.1, "Development Environment Warning"

• Section 4.9.2, "Warning - Database Server Name Does Not Match"

4.9.1 Development Environment Warning

This Warning indicates the installer could not detect Business Data (and the Control Tables) for the Development Environment and you have chosen the Upgrade option. If you do not want the Installer to create the Business Data and Control Tables, you can click on Next and ignore this error. Otherwise go back and change your options to use the Installer in Install and Custom mode to select and install it.

4.9.2 Warning - Database Server Name Does Not Match

The Platform Pack installer displays the following error message if the machine name you specified on Database Options does not match the machine name on which the installer is being run. In order to install the database components, you must run the Platform Pack installer on the machine on which the database resides. Unless the machine name you specified is a known-good cluster name, you must cancel the installation and run the installer on the database machine.

4.10 Rerunning the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer

You must rerun the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to support these scenarios:

• You want to install the Enterprise Server and the Database Server on physically different machines.

• You want to add an Enterprise Server environment to the Enterprise Server.

• You want to add a Database Server database to the Database Server.

• You want to reinstall the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation on the Enterprise Server.

• You want to reinstall the System Database on the Database Server.

You should never reinstall any optional components without first deinstalling the components. If you select to deinstall the mandatory components you must also select to deinstall or have already deinstalled all related optional components. This table lists the mandatory and related optional components:

Server	Mandatory Component	Optional Components
Enterprise Server	JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation	ES Production ES Prototype ES Development ES Pristine
Database Server	System Database	Production Databases Prototype Databases Development Databases Pristine Databases

4.10.1 Enterprise Server

If you are rerunning the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer in order to add environments, you must specify the same DB2 UDB instance as that which you selected for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Foundation during the initial installation of the Platform Pack.

4.10.2 Database Server

If you are rerunning the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer in order to add databases, you must specify the same DB2 UDB instance as that which you selected for System Database during the initial installation of the Platform Pack.

4.11 Installing the Latest Tools Release and Latest Tools Release Patch to the Enterprise Server

Caution:

The Tools Release level must match what was installed on the Deployment Server.

For instructions on installing the tools release on the Deployment Server, refer to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Reference Guide.

To install the latest tools release and latest tools release patch:

1. From the Update Center homepage, download the latest Tools Release Patch (for example, 9.1.1.0) and Tools Release documentation.

2. Using Server Manager, install the Tools Release Patch to the Enterprise Server.

4.12 Working with Database Security

In order to maximize your database security, you should change the passwords on all table owners created during the Platform Pack installation; these are created with the user and password equal to the same value. Such a user and password relationship could expose you to worms and viruses aimed at gaining access to your database. Consult with your DBA for advice on changing passwords to meet the security requirements of your database installation.

The Installation Workbench assumes that the table owner 's password is the same as the table owner, unless it finds this override in the jde.ini file on the Deployment Server. Once the database passwords have been changed, you will need to add this section to the jde.ini file:

[DSPWD]
Datasource_owner=new_password

Note:

Microsoft Windows 2008. For a Deployment Server running on a Microsoft Windows 2008 platform, navigate to NOTEPAD.EXE in c:\WINDOWS directory. Right click on the executable and select "Run as Administrator". Then click on File and open this file for editing:

c:\WINDOWS\JDE.INI

For example, if you changed the passwords for PRODDTA and PRODCTL to alaska5 and nevada6 your section would look like this:

[DSPWD]
PRODDTA=alaska5
PRODCTL=nevada6

The Installation Workbench assumes that the database user is JDE and that the password is the same, unless it finds this override in the jde.ini file on the Deployment Server. As a security precaution, you should also change the password on the JDE user and add an override in the [DSPWD] section of the jde.ini file. Once the database passwords have been changed, you will need to add this section to the jde.ini file:

[DSPWD]
JDE=new_password

For example, if you are changing the JDE user's password to apples, your section would look like this:

[DSPWD]
JDE=apples

Note:

You must also logon to JDEPLAN using the changed password, otherwise database connections will fail. Using the above example of a changed password, you would logon using these credentials:

User = JDE

Password = apples

Environment = JDEPLAN

Caution:

The Installation Workbench can only process passwords equal to or less than 10 characters in length. Therefore, you cannot use passwords greater than 10 characters even if your RDBMS allows it.

After you change the [DSPWD] section of the jde.ini file, logon to OneWorld in the JDEPLAN environment on the Deployment Server with the new password in the correct case.

Whenever you change the password on your database, as recommended for security purposes, you must also ensure that your security settings in the Enterprise Server jde.ini file match that of your database. Refer to Chapter 12, "Working With Signon Security" in this guide for applicable instructions.

You should secure the jde.ini file on the Deployment Server to prevent unauthorized access.

You should delete the [DSPWD] section once the install or upgrade is complete.

Note:

If you are upgrading from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Releases 8.10 or 8.11, you should consider disabling the legacy user, which is PSFT.
