2 Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Installation Requirements

This chapter introduces describes OHMPI Installer. It also lists requirements prior to installing OHMPI, including design-time and runtime application servers, the operating systems on which they run, and a procedure for installing the Java Development Kit (JDK) and setting JAVA_HOME.

This chapter includes the following sections:

"Hardware Requirements"
"Software Requirements"

Hardware Requirements

Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index requires that the computer on which you plan to install it already has an appropriate Java Development Kit with JAVA_HOME set prior to beginning the process. See "Installing JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME".

OHMPI can be installed on PC and UNIX computers; see "Supported IDE, Application Servers, and Operating Systems" for details about the supported platforms.

A typical PC running Microsoft Windows might have the following:

4 GB of RAM
2.8 GHz processor
40 GB of disk space

Hardware Installation Requirements

Installation requirement vary depending upon the operating system on which you are installing. For example:

On Microsoft Windows, you need 1.5 GB of free storage space
On Solaris, you need 1.5 GB of free storage space

Note:
The OHMPI Installer informs you how much free storage space is required.

Supported IDE, Application Servers, and Operating Systems

OHMPI supports the following application servers:

Integrated Design-time Environment (IDE)

NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 is a design-time application used to create, generate, and build OHMPI applications.

Note:
Table 1-1 lists the design-time operating systems that are compatible with Master Person Index design-time components and NetBeans IDE v6.9.1.
Runtime Application Servers

The following runtime application servers support the IHE interface and run an OHMPI application after it has been created and built.
- GlassFish Server 2.1.1 Patch 14
- Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 10.3.5 and 10.3.6 (including cluster environment deployments on these versions)
Note:
OHMPI is supported on any edition of WebLogic Server, such as Standard, Enterprise, or WL Suite. WebLogic Server 10.3.5 and 10.3.6 brings in newer operating system versions: AIX 7.1 /64bit, Windows 2008 SP1/32 and 64 bit, and Solaris 10 x64.

Table 2-1 lists operating systems that are compatible with Master Person Index runtime components and the GlassFish Server 2.1.1 Patch 14 or the Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 and 10.3.5 and 10.3.6.

Software Requirements

OHMPI requires the following software:

"Java Development Kit"

OHMPI also requires a web browser to view the Master Index Data Manager (MIDM) and a database.

"Supported Web Browsers"
"Supported Databases"

Java Development Kit

OHMPI requires that a Java Development Kit is installed, and on UNIX systems the JAVA_HOME environment variable set, on the computer on which you install a Master Person Index prior to beginning the installation.

For OHMPI Release 1.1, the supported JDK is the minimum required to run the OHMPI Installer and install the program.

JDK 1.6.0_18

Installing JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME

If you do not already have the JDK software installed or if JAVA_HOME is not set, the Master Person Index installation will not be successful. The following tasks provide the information you need to install the JDK software on Windows and UNIX systems. Set JAVA_HOME on UNIX systems.

Caution:

NetBeans IDE and GlassFish require the JDK for installation, in particular JDK 1.6 Update 18 or later. If you select a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) instead of a JDK, you cannot install or configure NetBeans IDE or GlassFish.

Oracle WebLogic Server, which is a separate installation, automatically installs JRockit JDK. However, if you intend to use Oracle JDK, it must be installed before you install the WebLogic Server.

To Install JDK Software on a Windows System

Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
Select the appropriate JDK version and click Download. The JDK software is installed on your computer (for example, at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18).

Note:
You can change this location.

To Install JDK Software and Set JAVA_HOME on a UNIX System

Install the JDK software.
- Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
- Select the appropriate JDK version and click Download. The JDK software is installed on your computer, for example, at /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_18.
  
  Note:
  You can change this location.
Set JAVA_HOME
- Korn and bash shells:
  - export JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-dir
  - export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
- Bourne shell:
  - JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-dir
  - export JAVA_HOME
  - PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  - export PATH
- C shell:
  - setenv JAVA_HOME jdk-install-dir
  - setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Supported Web Browsers

OHMPI supports the following web browsers:

Firefox: All versions; v. 3.5x and newer are recommended
Internet Explorer (IE): Full support in version 7 and compatibility mode in version 8

Some of the pages in the MIDM application report HTML errors for IE 8. This is because of the difference in the DOM implementation in IE8. You can ignore these errors.
Google Chrome

It is recommended to use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to access the MIDM application in the WebLogic Clustering environment.

Supported Databases

OHMPI supports the following databases:

Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1.0; Oracle 10gR2

Note:
You must have atleast the Standard edition for OHMPI.
MySQL Community Server 5.5.x
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1

Note:
You must have atleast the Standard edition for OHMPI. The IHE Profiles Application does not support Microsoft SQL Servers.
