Installing Oracle Endeca Server on Windows

This topic describes how to install Oracle Endeca Server on a Windows client machine.

Oracle Endeca Server is installed on Windows as a machine-wide installation. This type of installation requires administrator permissions and is used because it is intended for a production environment.

This procedure assumes that you have downloaded the Oracle Endeca Server installer for Windows.

To install Oracle Endeca Server on a Windows client:

  1. Double-click the installer file to start the wizard.
    The wizard verifies the contents of the installation package.
  2. Click Next to begin the installation process.

    The Important Information screen appears with copyright and legal information.

  3. Read the information on this screen, and click Next.
  4. In the Destination Folder screen, either accept the default installation folder or select another installation location. Then click Next.

    You cannot install the Oracle Endeca Server into a folder that contains content.

    The wizard displays both the required and available disk space for the target directory chosen. The Oracle Endeca Server requires approximately 200 MB of disk space. The installer requires approximately 400 MB of space on the system drive for temporary files. These temporary files are cleared after the installation process completes.

  5. In the Completing the Setup Wizard screen, click Next.
    The wizard begins to install the Oracle Endeca Server files.
  6. When the wizard confirms that you have successfully completed the installation, a checkbox lets you choose whether to start the Oracle Endeca Server now or later:
    • To start the Oracle Endeca Server immediately after installation, leave the box checked.
    • To start the Oracle Endeca Server later, uncheck the box.
  7. Click Finish.
  8. After installation is complete, enable secure mode (SSL) on Oracle Endeca Server by following the procedure in the Oracle Endeca Server Administrator's Guide.

If you chose to start the Oracle Endeca Server now, the server is started and a command window opens for standard output.

The installation also creates an Oracle Endeca Server 7.4.0 entry in the Start Menu with these shortcut options:
  • Start Oracle Endeca Server
  • Stop Oracle Endeca Server
  • Uninstall Oracle Endeca Server 7.4.0
