This chapter covers the following topics:
The following conditional dependencies may apply:
If your implementation requires the use of targeted survey deployments, the following are dependencies:
You must have Oracle One-to-One Fulfillment installed and implemented.
You must have an appropriately configured fulfillment server.
You must have Oracle Marketing installed and implemented.
You must have access to a user with the Survey Administrator responsibility.
For information on Oracle One-to-One Fulfillment requirements, use, and implementation, see Oracle One-to-One Fulfillment Implementation Guide.
For information on Oracle Marketing requirements, usage, and implementation, see Oracle Marketing Implementation and Administration Guide and Oracle Marketing User Guide.
The minimum software requirements are that you must have Oracle Applications release 12 installed or updated to the appropriate patch level.
Oracle Applications must be installed (using a Rapid Install) on an appropriate server-class UNIX or Windows NT server. The server must have suitable memory (RAM) and storage (hard drive space) for enterprise-specific tasks, as determined by enterprise system administrators. Guidance can be found for minimum requirements in Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install.
Oracle Scripting has the same scalability and performance guidelines as other Oracle Applications CRM release 12 products. For other scalability and performance guidelines, refer to Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install.
Some implementations install the database tier of Oracle Applications on a separate physical host machine to improve performance. Technically, each tier in a Rapid Install may be installed on a separate host machine for additional performance gains, although this is a rare occurrence. Detectable performance gains for multi-server implementations are likely if load on the applications database is heavy. For medium to light load there should be little appreciable gain. Regardless of whether you have a single or multiple configuration, Rapid Install is a prerequisite. Consult with your systems administrator for more information.
You must verify an implementation using the procedures described in the chapter Implementation Verification. This includes:
For All Implementations
Obtaining the regression test script from Oracle to perform Scripting Engine testing in standalone mode.
Opening, compiling, and deploying the regression test script to your applications database.
Uploading custom JAR file to the database using the Scripting Administration console.
For testing scripts in the agent interface, assigning the Scripting User or Scripting Agent responsibility to an existing or new Oracle Applications user.
Successfully launching and executing the regression test script in the Scripting Engine.
For Survey Implementations
Assigning the Survey Administrator responsibility to an existing or new Oracle Applications user.
Creating or modifying survey resources.
Defining survey resources, a survey campaign, cycle, and deployment in the Survey Administration console.
Activating a deployment.
Ensuring you can participate in a survey using a Web browser.
If viewing responses, ensure answer collection is enabled in the appropriate script to ensure survey response data is collected for viewing.
Assigning the iSurvey User responsibility to an existing or new Oracle Applications user, to administer concurrent programs.
Ensuring you can schedule or perform concurrent programs to update deployment status and move survey data to survey summary tables.
If using reporting, perform the Oracle Discoverer implementation steps described in Oracle Discoverer Workbooks.
To install Oracle Release 12, you must use Oracle Applications Rapid Install.
The Rapid Install is intended for customers who are installing Oracle Applications for the first time or upgrading to Release 12.
The Rapid Install is provided on CD-ROMs and is available from Oracle Store at http://oraclestore.oracle.com.
