1 Installation Overview

This document includes the installation and initial setup of Oracle Healthcare Transaction Base Version 6.1. The approach of this document is to assist the installer by asking relevant questions and, where necessary, providing answers to these questions to help finalize the environment details and content required during and after the installation.

Throughout the document there are references to other information available to provide further details on the process steps and tools. If you have any questions or concerns about any of the process steps in this document, open a Service Request via My Oracle Support. This lets us resolve your questions and concerns as well as provides feedback and improvement on this document.

Installation Outline

1.1 Software Requirements

The following list details the required software and versions for the installation of HTB version 6.1.1 (R12.HC_PF.A). Each of these products is available for download from the Oracle E-Delivery Web site or the Oracle Technology Network. Note that HTB and Oracle E-Business Suite are supported on many platforms. You must consult the Certify tab on My Oracle Support for your specific operating system and hardware platform before installing any Oracle products.

Operating System that supports Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 (see My Oracle Support Certify pages)
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1
Oracle Healthcare Transaction Base Version 6 (R12.HC_PF.A)
Oracle Applications Server 10g Release 3 Patch Set 5 J2EE and WebCache mid-tier components (10.1.3.5.0 via patch 8626084)

The Oracle Applications support strategy permits minor release upgrades to be performed. For example, the Oracle Applications Server 10g Release 3 product is release number 10.1.3.X, where X is the patch set or rollup version. For this reason, at the time of release, Oracle Application Server 10gAS version 10.1.3.5.0 is supported with Oracle Healthcare products. Oracle Healthcare products are tested and certified with specific versions of the Oracle Applications Technical Stack components as well as the Oracle Applications Server components.

You can refer to My Oracle Support Certification Matrix for Healthcare products prior to initiating any upgrades. Once a new major release is supported with Oracle Healthcare products, an announcement will be made that will supersede the comments made here. The same is true for database releases. The 11gR1 database is release 11.1.0.x. Oracle Applications E-Business Suite version 12.1.1 is installed with a base database release level 11.1.0.7. The maximum supported release of Oracle E-Business Suite release 12 is 12.1.3.

1.2 Installation Outline

The following flow Figure1.1 outlines the steps that should be followed during the installation of the Healthcare Transaction Base (HTB) product. Optional steps are shown with a dotted line border. The deployment of HTB in a 10gAS mid-tier container is the recommended approach for test and production servers. For development instances there is less overhead if you use a stand-alone installation of the OC4J containers. If you are dealing with a single or only a limited number of development instances, you may want to consider using the 10gAS J2EE and Web Cache installation for the deployment of HTB. Note that this does not require a full installation of the 10g Application Server and thus does not require the INFRA database.
