E Provision an Applications Environment Screens

This appendix presents the Provisioning Wizard interview screens for the Provision an Applications Fusion Applications Environment option and describes the purpose of each of the following screens:

E.1 Welcome

Welcome Screen: Described in surrounding text.

No action is necessary on this read-only screen.

Click Next to continue.

E.2 Specify Central Inventory Directory

Specify Central Inventory Directory Screen: Described in surrounding text.

This screen displays only if one or more of the following conditions are not met:

Specify the location of the Central Inventory Directory that meets the previous criteria. The inventory_loc directory can be created by the createCentralInventory.sh script and does not have to exist at the time you specify its location.

For non-Windows platforms, in the Operating System Group ID field, select or enter the group whose members will be granted access to the inventory directory. All members of this group can install products on this host. Click OK to continue.

Inventory Location Confirmation Screen: Described in surrounding text.

The Inventory Location Confirmation dialog prompts you to run the inventory_directory/createCentralInventory.sh script as root, to confirm that all conditions are met and to create the default inventory location file, such as /etc/oraInst.loc. After this script runs successfully, return to the interview and click OK to proceed with the installation.

If you do not have root access on this host but want to continue with the installation, select Continue installation with local inventory and click OK to proceed with the installation.

For Windows platforms, this screen displays if the inventory directory does not meet requirements.

For more information about inventory location files, see "Oracle Universal Installer Inventory" in the Oracle Universal Installer and OPatch User's Guide.

Click Next to continue.

E.3 Installation Options

Installation Options Screen: Described in surrounding text.

Select the task that you want to perform from the list of options. When prompted, enter a directory path in the Response File field to access a completed response file to use as a base for one of the actions. Or, click Browse to navigate to the response file location.

Click Next to continue.

E.4 Response File Description

Response File Description Screen: Described in surrounding text.

Specify descriptive information to identify this response file. This description is not associated in any way with the executable plan file, or the summary file, that you save at the end of the response file creation process.

Click Next to continue.

E.5 Installation Location

Installation Location Screen: Described in surrounding text.

Specify credentials for the Node Manager and supply the location of the various directories required for installation and configuration actions.

Node Manager Credentials

Provide locations of various directories that the administrator needs access to.

Installation and Configuration

Middleware Dependencies

Oracle Business Intelligence Repository Password

RPD Password: Specify and Confirm a password to allow access to the metadata repository (RPD) for both Oracle Business Intelligence Applications and Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence. The password must be between 8 and 30 characters and contain at least one digit. It can include letters, numbers, pound sign (#), dollar sign ($), or underscore (_). If you want to include a dollar sign ($) in the RPD password, enter one additional dollar sign ($) as the escape character before the dollar sign ($) in the password. Provisioning sets up this password, but does not actually access the repository.

If the environment created is Windows-based, the wizard prompts for these values:

Click Next to continue.

E.6 Review Provisioning Configuration

Review Provisioning Configuration Screen: Described in surrounding text.

Lists the wizard interview screens where you originally specified domain-specific parameters for this response file. You can make changes to this information if necessary.

Note: If you ignored any warnings during the creation of this response file, you must fix all issues stated in the warnings before you can successfully provision an environment. Select any of the screens displayed here to make changes for a product domains with warnings. All validations must pass before you can run the install phase.

You cannot add or delete product offerings to this response file. To change product offerings, you must create a new response file.

Select one or more options from the list. When you click Next, the screens you select are added to the flow. Note that if you return to this screen after running the preverification checks, those verification checks are invalidated. You must run the Preverify phase again.

Click Next to continue.

E.7 Summary

Summary Screen: Described in surrounding text.

Review the information displayed to ensure that the installation details are what you intend. To make changes, click Back to return to previous screens in the interview.

Click Next to initiate the preverify phase. The wizard displays the Prerequisite Checks screen, and creates a current copy of this response file. The response file is saved in the directory indicated in the message pane.

Click Next to continue.

E.8 Prerequisite Checks

Prerequisite Checks Screen: Described in surrounding text.

The preverify phase checks to see that all prerequisites are present on the host where you run the phase. The Primordial host is marked with a Home symbol in the Host column. The Domains column lists the domains that are being deployed.

In the terminal session for the Primary host and Secondary host (if present), run the preverify phase with this command:

(UNIX) path_to_script/runProvisioning.sh -responseFile provisioning_response_file_location -target preverify

(Windows) path_to_script\runProvisioning.bat -responseFile provisioning_response_file_location -target preverify

Note: This phase can run in parallel on all hosts and is tracked on this screen. Each new phase must run sequentially; that is, you cannot start a new phase until the previous phase has been completed successfully on all the hosts.

The Status of each build on each host is indicated by one of these icons:

Click an x or a Restricted symbol to display information about failures. Click the host-level Log file for details about this phase. Click a build Log file to see details specific to that build.

You can make changes to the interview screens and rerun the preverify phase as many times as is necessary. Click Retry to rerun this phase if errors are reported. You must fix all errors before you continue. See "Troubleshooting the Provisioning Process" in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide for details about recovery from failures.

Note: After you click Next on this screen, you can no longer modify the response file.

Click Next. The wizard starts the install phase on the primordial host and displays the Installation screen.

E.9 Installation

Note: This phase can run in parallel on all hosts and is tracked on this screen. Each new phase must run sequentially; that is, you cannot start a new phase until the previous phase has been completed successfully on all the hosts.

The Status of each build on each host is indicated by one of these icons:

Note: You cannot view the build processes on the DMZ host on the primordial host interface because the DMZ host does not have access to the shared network drive.

Click an x or a Restricted symbol to display information about failures. Click the host-level Log file for details about this phase. Click a build Log file to see details specific to that build.

Click Retry to rerun this phase if errors are reported. You must fix all errors before you continue. See "Troubleshooting the Provisioning Process" in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide for details about recovery from failures.

Note: If a DMZ host is present, copy the webtier_dmz_artifacts.zip file from the APPLICATIONS_BASE/ directory on the non-DMZ host to the APPLICATIONS_BASE/ directory on the DMZ host.

Click Next. The wizard starts the Preconfigure phase on the primordial host and displays the Preconfigure screen.

Note: You cannot view the build processes on the DMZ host on the primordial host interface because the DMZ host does not have access to the shared network drive.

Click an x or a Restricted symbol to display information about failures. Click the host-level Log file for details about this phase. Click a build Log file to see details specific to that build.

Click Retry to rerun this phase if errors are reported. You must fix all errors before you continue. See "Troubleshooting the Provisioning Process" in Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide for details about recovery from failures.
