Installing Oracle Tuxedo Using GUI-Mode Installation

Installing Oracle Tuxedo Using GUI-Mode Installation
The following sections describe how to install Oracle Tuxedo using graphical user interface (GUI) mode installation on both Windows and UNIX systems:
What Is GUI-Mode Installation?
The graphical user interface mode installation is the graphics-based method of executing the Oracle Installation program. It can be run on both Windows and UNIX system.
To run GUI-mode installation, 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.
Note:
Before You Start
If you are upgrading from Oracle WebLogic Enterprise or Oracle Tuxedo 12cR1 or earlier software, see Upgrading the Oracle Tuxedo System to 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) on page 4‑1 and follow the instructions given there. Then return here to continue your Oracle Tuxedo installation.
On a Windows machine that has the Oracle WebLogic Enterprise software or an older version of the Oracle Tuxedo software installed, a window named “Previous Version Detected!” will display at the very beginning of the Oracle Tuxedo installation. This window contains a message that encourages you to exit the installation program and remove the older software before installing Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3).
If you choose to remove the older software, refer to Upgrading the Oracle Tuxedo System to 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) on page 4‑1, follow the instructions to remove the older software from your machine, and then restart the installation.
If you choose not to remove the older software, install the Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) software to a different Oracle Home directory than the Oracle Home directory where the Oracle WebLogic Enterprise software or the older version of the Oracle Tuxedo software is installed. See also Previous Tuxedo Versions on page 1‑35
Starting GUI-Mode Installation on a Windows System
To start the GUI-mode installation process on a Windows system, follow these steps:
1.
2.
Log in to the Windows system as the Administrator or as a member of the Administrator group.
You need administrative privileges to install Oracle Tuxedo server components on a Windows system. If you are going to install only Oracle Tuxedo client components, you do not need administrative privileges.
3.
For disk space requirements, see Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) Platform Data Sheets on page A‑1. For important disk space allocation information, seeFile and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation on page D‑1.

a.
Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html and download the Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) installation file specific to your platform.
b.
5.
6.
Re-login to the system after Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) installation has completed.
Starting GUI-Mode Installation on a UNIX System
To start the GUI-mode installation process on a UNIX system, follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
For disk space requirements, see Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) Platform Data Sheets on page A‑1. For important disk space allocation information, see File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation on page D‑1
4.
a.
Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html and download the Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) installation file specific to your platform.
b.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the installer, unzip the installer file, and then go to the Disk1\install directory, run the runInstaller to invoke the installation procedure.
Note:
GUI mode is the default for Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) installation. If a GUI interface is not available on your Unix platform, you will receive an error message and the installation process is aborted.
If a GUI interface is not available on your Unix platform, you must use silent mode installation. For more information, see What Is Silent Installation?
5.
Running GUI-Mode Installation
The Oracle Tuxedo installer program is currently available in English and Japanese. By checking the value of a certain language-related environment variable on the target platform, the installer program automatically determines (1) the language displayed during the installation and (2) the language-specific message catalog installed during the installation. If the language-related environment variable is not set or is set to a value unknown to the installer program, both the language displayed and the message catalog installed default to English.
The Oracle Tuxedo installer program prompts you to enter specific information about your system and configuration. For instructions on responding to the prompts during installation, see Table 2‑1.
For GUI-Mode installation screens, see Oracle Universal Installer Installation Screens on page F‑9.
 
Table 2‑1 Instructions
Click Next to proceed with the installation. You may cancel the installation at any time by clicking Cancel.
For silent installations, if a non-empty, existing directory is specified, an error is logged in the console and in the installActions<timestamp>.log file. Also, the OUI aborts. To override this condition, use the -force flag on the command line. The effect of using the -force flag is the same as selecting Yes while installing in interactive mode. You receive a warning message, but the installation continues.
Tuxedo Product Installation Directory is "$ORACLE_HOME/tuxedo12.1.3.0.0" by default (UNIX) and cannot changed after the ORACLE_HOME is determined. Tuxedo installer doesn't allow to install two same version tuxedo product into the same ORACLE_HOME.
If the selected ORACLE_HOME already installed the same version tuxedo, the installer will show a warning.

LDAP Filter File Location: (tux_ prod_dir/udataobj/security/ bea_ldap_filter.dat by default, where tux_prod_dir represents the product directory in which you installed the Oracle Tuxedo software, the default LDAP filter file is generated after installation completed)
Congratulations! Your installation of the Oracle Tuxedo software is complete!
Assigning File Ownership on a UNIX System
If you installed the Oracle Tuxedo software on a UNIX system, Oracle strongly recommends that you create a separate user account for the Oracle Tuxedo administrator and give ownership of the Oracle Tuxedo files to that account. To change ownership of the Oracle Tuxedo software on a UNIX machine, enter the following command:
chown -R adm_account full_path_of_tux_prod_dir
chgrp -R adm_group full_path_of_tux_prod_dir
Replace adm_account with the Oracle Tuxedo administrator account, replace adm_group with the Oracle Tuxedo administrator group ID, and replace full_path_of_tux_prod_dir with the full pathname of the product directory in which you installed the Oracle Tuxedo software.
Understanding the Oracle Tuxedo Shortcuts on a Windows System
When installing the Oracle Tuxedo software on a Windows system, the installer program automatically uses Oracle WebLogic E-Business Platform as the parent folder for Oracle Tuxedo. As additional Oracle Home directories are added to the system, the installer program continues to create new Oracle WebLogic E-Business Platform folders using the convention.
Each Oracle Home directory has an associated Oracle WebLogic E-Business Platform folder. Each Oracle WebLogic E-Business Platform folder contains one or more Oracle product folders (see note) and two files: OracleHOME Location and Install History.
Note:
Understanding the Oracle Administration Program on a Windows System
In addition to the Oracle Tuxedo Administration Console, the Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) software for Windows provides an Oracle Administration program and two Windows services (Tlisten and Oracle procMGR) for configuring the Oracle Tuxedo system on a Windows 2003 Server system. Only if the installation included Oracle Tuxedo server components will these additional administration tools be installed on the Windows 2003 Server system.
After you have installed or upgraded the Oracle Tuxedo software on your Windows 2003 Server system, you can use the Oracle Administration control panel (Start Settings Control Panel Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) with VS2008 Administration) to perform the following tasks:
Configure Oracle Tuxedo tlisten(1) processes to start automatically
For instructions on performing these tasks, see “Configuring Oracle Tuxedo ATMI for Windows Server 2003” in Using Oracle Tuxedo ATMI on Windows.
Reviewing the Windows Server Registry Content
The Windows Server Registry is the repository for all hardware, software, and application configuration settings for the Windows system. During the Oracle Tuxedo installation, the installer program writes general installation information as well as IPC Resource values to the Registry. The structure of the Registry relevant to Oracle Tuxedo is as follows.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORACLE\Tuxedo\<version>\...
To view this structure, choose Start Run to launch the Run dialog box, enter regEdt32, and click OK to launch the Registry Editor window.
Windows Service Change
If Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) is installed successfully, Windows Service "ORACLE ProcMGR V12.1.3.0.0_VS2010" and "TUXEDO 12.1.3.0.0_VS2010 (Port:<tlisten_portid>)" are installed.
Windows Control Panel Change
If Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) is installed successfully, Oracle Tuxedo 12.1.3.0.0 Control Panel is installed as below.
Earlier Version Detected
The following warning information occurs if an earlier version of Tuxedo is detected.
Developer Key
The Developer key stores product information, including the major and minor version numbers of the release, and user and company names.
Environment Key
The Environment key stores the locations referenced by the Oracle Tuxedo environment variables set on your Windows system. It also stores other values such as IPC resource settings.
Security Key
The Security key holds the access permissions for Oracle Tuxedo processes and services. The following permissions are mandatory:
Any user who runs tlisten(1) must have read access permissions.
Oracle recommends that the Administrator have full control permissions.
What Do I Do Next?
