This chapter describes how to start the Oracle Communications Converged Application Server installation program in graphical mode in different environments, and describes the sequence of screens that may appear in the installation process, depending on the type of installer you are using and the components you select.
Note:
In order to run the installation program in graphical mode, the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software must support a Java-based GUI. All consoles for Windows systems support Java-based GUIs, but not all consoles for UNIX systems do. If you attempt to start the installation program in graphical mode on a system that cannot support graphical display, the installation program automatically starts in console mode.This chapter contains the following sections:
The Converged Application Server software must be installed on all server machines that will run an instance of Converged Application Server. Follow these installation procedures for the computers on which you will install the Administration Server and all managed servers.
The installation program provides additional features you can use, depending on your needs and environment, including the following:
Choice of installation mode
This guide shows the graphical-mode installation, the interactive, GUI-based method for installation. Installers also can be run in console mode, which is an interactive, text-based method used from the command line; and silent-mode, which is a non-interactive method that can be run from a script as well as the command line.
Option to create a detailed installation log.
If you launch the installation from the command line or from a script, you can specify the -log option to generate a verbose installation log. The installation log stores messages (informational, warning, error, and fatal) about events that occur during the installation process. This type of file can be especially useful for silent installations.
Complete details about each of these installation features are provided in Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) Installation Guide in the Oracle WebLogic Server documentation.
To create an installation log, add the following option to any of the commands that invoke the installer:
-log=logfile
where logfile is the name you assign to the log file, including an absolute or relative path. A relative path is relative to the directory where the installer is started.
For example, the following command starts the installer in console mode and creates a log file named install_log containing the installation's output.
java -jar occas510_ia_generic.jar-mode=console -log=install_log
The Converged Application Server occas510_ja_generic.jar installation program is provided as a single JAR file for use with all supported operating systems.
Note:
No JDK is included in the generic installation. You must have installed a JDK appropriate to your operating system prior to using the JAR file installation program.To start the JAR installation program, perform the following steps.
Open a command shell.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
Launch the installation program by entering the following command:
java -jar occas510_ia_generic.jar
Include the -d64 flag in the installation command when using a 32/64-bit hybrid JDK (such as for the Solaris 64 platforms). For example, if installing in graphical mode:
java -d64 -jar occas510_ja_generic.jar
If you are using the Sun 64-bit JDK, use the following command to install Converged Application Server:
java -Xmx1024m -jar occas510_ja_generic.jar
The installation program begins to install the software.
See "Responding to the Oracle Installer Screens" for a description of each installation program screen.
To start the graphical-mode installation process with .bin installation files, follow these steps.
Open a command shell.
Go to the directory that contains the installation program.
Launch the installation by entering the following commands:
chmod a+x filename.bin
./filename.bin
Where filename.bin is the name of your installation program. For example, for Oracle Communications Converged Application Server 5.1, the name of the Package installer file for Linux is occas510_ia_linux32.bin. Substitute the appropriate filename for the installation program you have obtained
The installation program begins to install the software.
See "Responding to the Oracle Installer Screens" for a description of each installation program screen.
To start the installation program in graphical mode on a Windows platform, follow these steps.
Log in to the Windows system.
Go to the directory that contains the installation program.
Double-click the installation program occas510_ia_win32.exe.
The installation program begins to install the software.
Silent-mode installation is a way of choosing installation settings once and then using those settings to duplicate the installation on many machines. During installation in silent mode, the installation program reads your settings from an XML file that you create prior to beginning the installation. The installation program does not display any options during the installation process. Silent-mode installation works on both Windows and Linux/UNIX systems.
For general information on silent-mode installation, on WebLogic Server see “Running the Installation Program in Silent Mode” in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server at:
The entries in the silent.xml file correspond to the prompts that you would see if you used one of the interactive modes.
Incorrect entries in the silent.xml file can cause installation failures. To help you determine the cause of a failure, we recommend that you create a log file when you start the installation
The following is a sample version of a silent.xml file. Your input may be slightly different, depending on your installation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<bea-installer>
<input-fields>
<data-value name="BEAHOME" value="d:/occas" />
<data-value name="INSTALL_NODE_MANAGER_SERVICE" value="no" />
<data-value name="WLNGEclipseConfig.dir" value="d:/eclipse/plugin"/>
<data-value name="LOCAL_JVMS" value="C:\oracle\java\jdk160_18">
</input-fields>
</bea-installer>
The following error can be ignored:
com.bea.plateng.domain.script.ScriptException: The template to read must be a jar file containing a valid domain configuration
See the Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Guide for more information.
When run in silent mode, the installation program generates exit codes that indicate the success or failure of the installation. Table 4-1 describes these exit codes:
Table 4-1 Installation Program Exit Codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
|
0 |
Installation completed successfully. |
|
-1 |
Installation failed due to a fatal error. |
|
-2 |
Installation failed due to an internal XML parsing error. |
If you are launching the silent-mode installation process from a script, you can choose to have these exit codes displayed to the console. The following is a sample command file that invokes the WebLogic Platform installation in silent mode and echoes the exit codes to the console from which the script is executed.
rem Execute the installer in silent mode
@echo off
occas510_win.exe -mode=silent -silent_xml=silent.xml -log=logfilename
@rem Return an exit code to indicate success or failure of installation
set exit_code=%ERRORLEVEL%
@echo.
@echo Exitcode=%exit_code%
@echo.
@echo Exit Code Key
@echo ---------------
@echo 0=Installation completed successfully
@echo -1=Installation failed due to a fatal error
@echo -2=Installation failed due to an internal XML parsing error
@echo.
To run the silent mode installer:
Create a silent.xml file, as described in "About the silent.xml file".
To run the silent installer, do one of the following:
To start the platform-specific Windows 32 installer in silent mode, enter:
occas510_win.exe -mode=silent -silent_xml=silent.xml [-log=logfilename]
To start the generic 32/64 -bit hybrid installer in silent mode, enter:
java -d64 -jar occas510_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=silent.xml [-log=logfilename]
To start the generic /64 -bit hybrid installer in silent mode, enter:
java -Xmx1024m -jar occas510_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=silent.xml [-log=logfilename]
The installation proceeds with no prompts.
The installation program displays a series of screens prompting for information from which to install the Converged Application Server software. To install the software, see the Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Guide in the Oracle WebLogic Server documentation for information on responding to the installation program prompts.
To run the generic GUI-based installer:
After the installer starts, the Welcome window appears.
You can cancel the installation at any time by clicking Exit.
In the Welcome window, click Next to proceed with the installation.
