This chapter covers the following topics:
This document applies to Oracle Strategic Network Optimization 12.1. Information in this document pertains to Oracle Strategic Network Optimization on Windows and UNIX.
You must determine your deployment method, hardware, and software requirements prior to installing Strategic Network Optimization.
Note: For more information about deployment methods, hardware, and software requirements, see Oracle Value Chain Planning 12.2 Hardware and Software Guide, and the Minimum Technical Requirements.
To install Strategic Network Optimization for Windows, perform the following:
Log in as the administrator.
Launch the install.exe file.
In the Introduction window, Click Next. The install program starts.
In the Choose SCP Suite Folder window, specify the installation directory and click Next.
Strategic Network Optimization is installed in a \scp\12.1\sno directory under the directory that you specify. Strategic Network Optimization startup scripts are stored in \scp\12.1\common\start under the directory that you specify.
Review the information on the Pre-Installation Summary window and ensure that you have enough disk space for the installation.
To continue with the installation, click Install.
In the Install Complete window click Done.
If errors occur during installation, they are logged in the file Strategic_Network_Optimization_12.1_InstallLog.log in \scp\12.2 under the directory that you specify.
From the Start menu, choose Programs, Oracle Value Chain Planning 12.1, Strategic Network Optimization, and Strategic Network Optimization.
If you are running Strategic Network Optimization using your own start-up scripts, you must specify the location of some Strategic Network Optimization files by setting the following environment variable:
LINXHOME (specifies the location of the current version of SNO)
You must also specify the location of the shared libraries by modifying the PATH environment variable:
PATH (specifies the location of shared libraries)
There is a common installation directory that can be used to simplify the environment variables. For example, if the directory specified during installation is \numetrix, then there is a directory named scp installed below it. You can define an environment variable named SCP_HOME that points to \numetrix\scp to simplify environment variable paths.
To run Strategic Network Optimization 12.1 with your own start-up scripts, add the following environment variables to these scripts:
set SCP_HOME= directory specified during installation\scp
set SCP_COMMON= %SCP_HOME%\12.1\common
set LINXHOME= %SCP_HOME%\12.1\sno
You must also specify the location of the shared libraries by modifying the PATH environment variable:
set PATH=%SCP_COMMON%\bin;%SCP_COMMON%\bin_64;%PATH%
To use the SCBM connector, you must specify the following environment variable:
set TCL_LIBRARY= %SCP_COMMON%\lib\tcl8.4
For the default publishing profiles to function properly, you must specify the following environment variable:
set PROFILEIODIR= %SCP_COMMON%\lib\sno\metadata
Strategic Network Optimization uses the HOME environment variable to specify the user’s home directory which contains the following items:
the linx.smart file
the linx.startup file
the linx.ini file which stores recently used files
the sno.profiles file which stores publishing profiles
Set the HOME environment from the Windows control panel.
To set the HOME environment variable:
From the Start menu, choose Settings, and then choose Control Panel.
In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click the Environment Variables button.
On the Environment tab, type HOME in the Variable field.
In the Value field, type the user's home directory path.
Click Set, and then click OK.
If the HOME environment variable is not set, Strategic Network Optimization uses the LINXHOME environment variable to write out these files.
Before uninstalling Strategic Network Optimization, ensure that the directory that you want to remove does not contain files that you want to keep and that no users are accessing that version.
To uninstall Strategic Network Optimization, perform the following:
