This chapter provides an overview of the Oracle Communications Delegated Administrator installation process.
During the installation process, you install and configure the following components:
Java
Oracle GlassFish Server
Delegated Administrator
Delegated Administrator depends on Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition for LDAP services. If your site does not currently have Directory Server deployed and you need to install it, see the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition documentation for instructions at:
The installation procedure follows these steps:
Plan your installation. When planning your installation, do the following:
Determine the scale of your implementation, for example, a small development system, or a large production system.
Determine how many physical machines you need, and which software components to install on each machine.
Plan the system topology, for example, how the system components connect to each other over the network.
Review system requirements. System requirements include:
Hardware requirements, such as disk space.
System software requirements, such as operating system (OS) versions and OS patch requirements.
Information requirements, such as IP addresses and host names.
Install and configure software upon which Delegated Administrator is dependent, including Java. You also need to install GlassFish Server.
Prepare the Directory Server schema, either schema 1 or schema 2, by installing and running the most current comm_dssetup script from the Communications Suite distribution.
Install and configure Delegated Administrator.
Perform post-installation configuration tasks.
Verify the installation.
After Delegated Administrator is installed, you might perform additional security-related tasks. For more information, see Delegated Administrator Security Guide.
You install Delegated Administrator by running the Unified Communications Suite installer in either interactive or silent mode. When you run the Communications Suite installer in silent mode, you are running a non-interactive session. The installation inputs are taken from the following sources:
A silent installation file
Command-line arguments
Default settings
You can use silent mode to install multiple instances of the same software component and configuration without having to manually run an interactive installation for each instance.
For more information, see "Installing Delegated Administrator in Silent Mode."
Only qualified personnel should install the product. You must be familiar with the UNIX operating system. You should be experienced with installing Java-related packages.
Follow these guidelines:
As you install each component, for example, verify that the component installed successfully before continuing the installation process.
Pay close attention to the system requirements. Before you begin installing the software, make sure your system has the required base software. In addition, ensure that you know all of the required configuration values, such as host names and port numbers.
As you create new configuration values, write them down. In some cases, you might need to re-enter configuration values later in the procedure.
