Installing Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA Using GUI-Mode Installation

The following sections describe how to install Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA using graphical user interface (GUI) mode installation on 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 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. Not all consoles for UNIX systems support Java-based GUIs.

Note: To install Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA on a UNIX system with a non-graphics console, use silent install mode.

The Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA installer program can be displayed in English or Japanese. You can set certain language-related environment variable on the target platform to specify the language displayed during the installation and the language-specific message catalog installed during the installation. If the language-related environment variable is not set or set to an unknown value, the installer program displays in English.

 

Starting GUI-Mode Installation on a UNIX System

To start the GUI-mode installation process on a UNIX system, follow these steps:

  1. Select a UNIX system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in Hardware and Software Prerequisites.
  2. Log in to the UNIX system as the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA administrator.
  3. Ensure that you have enough free space for the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA installation.
  4. Install Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA by downloading from the Oracle Web site:
    1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html and download the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA 12c Release 2 (12.1.3) installation file specific to your platform.
    2. 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.
      3. Note: GUI mode is the default for Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA 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.
      Note: 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. Proceed to Running GUI-Mode Installation.

Path: Enter the full path to an Oracle home, or select an Oracle home from the drop-down list of existing Oracle homes. The Oracle home location is the directory where Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA is installed.
If you enter an invalid path for Oracle Home directory, you cannot continue the installation.
If the selected ORACLE_HOME is not empty and does not recorded in inventory, the installer will show a warning.
If the selected ORACLE_HOME does not include Tuxedo Server component, you cannot continue the installation.
Sample Install Confirm

./runInstaller -force "DEPENDENCY_LIST={"TMASNAGateway:12.1.3.0.0","TMASNACRM:12.1.3.0.0"}"
Install
When this panel appears, files of the selected installation type are being copied to the target installation directory.
End of Installation
Click Exit to exit the installation program.
If this is the first Oracle installation on a host running UNIX or Linux system software or if you do not have permissions on inventory directory, a warning message appears.

Congratulations! Your installation of the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA software is complete!
