The following sections provide information that you need to know before installing the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) product software:An evaluation copy of Oracle Tuxedo is available for download from the Oracle corporate Web site at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html.Included with the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) software distribution is the Oracle Jolt product software, which enables Java clients to call Oracle Tuxedo services, and the Oracle SNMP Agent product software, which enables Oracle Tuxedo applications to be managed from a centralized enterprise management console.The Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) distribution contains the following components:
• Oracle Jolt 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) server software
• Oracle SNMP Agent 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) software
• Oracle Jolt 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) client softwareFigure 1‑1 illustrates a high-level view of the Oracle Tuxedo client and server components.Figure 1‑1 Oracle Tuxedo Client and Server ComponentsFor descriptions of terms such as remote client, native client, LLE, and SSL, see “Client and Server Components” in Oracle Tuxedo Product Overview.
• The Oracle Tuxedo software must be installed on each server machine that will participate in a Oracle Tuxedo application, also known as a Tuxedo domain. A Tuxedo application is a business software program, built upon the Tuxedo system, that is defined and controlled by a single configuration file known as the UBBCONFIG file. The Tuxedo configuration file is described in reference page UBBCONFIG(5) in Oracle Tuxedo File Formats, Data Descriptions, MIBs, and System Processes Reference.A Tuxedo application consists of many Tuxedo system processes, one or more application client processes, one or more application server processes, and one or more computer machines connected over a network. In a multi-machine Tuxedo application running different releases of the Oracle Tuxedo software, the master machine—designated via the MASTER parameter in the RESOURCES section of the UBBCONFIG file—must run the highest release of the Oracle Tuxedo software in the application. For more information about Tuxedo applications, see “Domains” in Oracle Tuxedo Product Overview.
Table 1‑1 The System Requirements for Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) As stated in the data sheet for the target platform in “Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Platform Data Sheets” on page A‑1. For additional information about disk space requirements, see “File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation” on page D‑1. * Microsoft Windows XP systems support only the Oracle Tuxedo client components.For Oracle Jolt installation preparatory information, see “Oracle Jolt 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Overview and Installation Information” on page B‑1. No installation preparation is required for Oracle SNMP Agent.
Note: The Oracle Installation program uses a temporary directory in which it extracts the files from the archive that are needed to install Oracle Tuxedo on the target system. During the installation process, your temporary directory must contain sufficient space to accommodate the compressed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) bundled with the installer and an uncompressed copy of the JRE that is expanded into the temporary directory. The installation program moves the JRE from the temporary directory to the Oracle Home directory at the end of the installation process. For information about the Oracle Home directory, see “Oracle Home Directory” on page 1‑10.The amount of temporary storage space needed depends upon the target platform, as stated in the data sheets in “Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Platform Data Sheets” on page A‑1.
Table 1‑2 Temporary Directories Directory referenced by the TMP system variable To ensure there is adequate temporary space, you may want to allocate an alternate directory for use as a temporary directory for the installation. To do so, perform the appropriate step in Table 1‑3 before starting the Oracle Installation program.
Table 1‑3 Perform This Step Set the TMP system variable to a directory of your choice. export IATEMPDIR=tmpdirnameReplace tmpdirname with the name of a temporary directory of your choice.On a UNIX system, you use methods native to the UNIX system to adjust the IPC parameters and maximize the performance of a Oracle Tuxedo application. Since most UNIX systems are shipped with default values that are too low for a Oracle Tuxedo application, you need to adjust the IPC parameters, using the methods given in “Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Platform Data Sheets” on page A‑1. For the recommended IPC values, see “IPC Resource Configuration on a UNIX System” on page E‑1.After installing the Oracle Tuxedo software and creating an application configuration file (UBBCONFIG file), you use the tmloadcf(1) command to calculate and print a list of the minimum IPC resources needed to support the application. If your Oracle Tuxedo application is distributed, the minimum IPC resources must be available on every machine participating in the application. For more information about calculating IPC resources using the tmloadcf(1) command, see “Performing Post-Installation Tasks” on page 6‑1.
Note:
Note: On Windows platforms you must re-login to the system after Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) installation has completed.

• Clicking the “Cancel” or the “close’ window button in GUI mode, or typing “quit” in console mode creates an incomplete Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) installation. You will have to re-install Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0).If you installed Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) in a previous Tuxedo product directory, and you want to return to your original configuration, you must re-install your previous Tuxedo version.An install set is a bundle of product software components related by function. Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) offers the following seven install sets:
• Full install set—consists of all the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) server and client components
• Server install set—consists of all the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) server components:
• Oracle Jolt 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) server software including Oracle Jolt Internet Relay
• Oracle SNMP Agent 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) software
• Full client install set—consists of all the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) client components:
• Oracle Jolt 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) client software
• ATMI (/WS) client install set—consists of the following Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) components:
• CORBA client install set—consists of the following Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) components:

• .NET client install set—consists of the following Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) components and install sets: (Windows platforms only)In addition to selecting an install set during a Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) installation, a user can further customize the installation by selecting (adding) or deselecting (deleting) one or more software components from the install set. Customizing is only possible for GUI-mode and console-mode installation methods described in “Installing Oracle Tuxedo Using GUI-Mode Installation” on page 2‑1 and “Installing Oracle Tuxedo on UNIX Systems Using Console-Mode Installation” on page 3‑1; it is not possible for silent-mode installation method.The structure of the Oracle Home directory created by the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) installer program is shown in the following illustration.During the installation of Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0), you are prompted to choose an existing Oracle Home directory or specify a path for a new Oracle Home directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the Oracle Tuxedo installer program automatically creates the directory for you.The files and directories in an Oracle Home directory created by the Oracle Tuxedo installer are described in Table 1‑4.
