2 Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Installation Requirements

This chapter introduces the OHMPI Installer. It also lists requirements prior to installing OHMPI, including design-time and runtime application servers, the operating systems on which they run, and a procedure for installing the Java Development Kit (JDK) and setting JAVA_HOME.

This chapter includes the following sections:

2.1 Hardware Requirements

Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index requires that the computer on which you plan to install it already has an appropriate Java Development Kit with JAVA_HOME set prior to beginning the process. See Section 2.2.1.1, "Installing JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME".

You can install OHMPI on PC and UNIX computers. For information on the supported platforms, see Section 2.1.2, "Supported IDE, Application Servers, and Operating Systems".

2.1.1 Hardware Installation Requirements

Installation requirement vary depending upon the operating system on which you are installing. For example:

  • On Microsoft Windows, you need 1.5 GB of free storage space

  • On Solaris, you need 1.5 GB of free storage space


    Note:

    The OHMPI Installer informs you how much free storage space is required.

2.1.2 Supported IDE, Application Servers, and Operating Systems

OHMPI supports the following application servers:

  • Integrated Design-time Environment (IDE)

    NetBeans IDE is a design-time application used to create, generate, and build OHMPI applications.


    Note:

    Table 2-1 lists the design-time operating systems that are compatible with Master Person Index design-time components and NetBeans IDE v8.0.2.

  • Runtime Application Server

    Oracle WebLogic Server 12cR3 (12.1.3) or higher (including cluster environment deployments on these versions) runtime application server supports the IHE interface and runs an OHMPI application after it has been created and built. Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1.2 is supported starting with OHMPI release 4.0.2.


    Note:

    OHMPI is supported on any edition of WebLogic Server, such as Standard, Enterprise, or WL Suite. Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.3 and higher bring in newer operating system versions: Windows 2008 SP1 64 bit, and Solaris 11 x64.

    Table 2-1 lists operating systems that are compatible with Master Person Index runtime components and the Oracle WebLogic Server 12cR3 (12.1.3) or higher.

2.2 Software Requirements

OHMPI requires the following software:

OHMPI also requires a web browser to view the Master Index Data Manager (MIDM) and a database.

2.2.1 Java Development Kit

OHMPI requires that a Java Development Kit is installed, and on UNIX systems the JAVA_HOME environment variable set, on the computer on which you install a Master Person Index prior to beginning the installation.

For OHMPI Release 4.0, the supported JDK is the minimum required to run the OHMPI Installer and install the program.

  • JDK 1.7.0_75

  • JDK 1.8.0_102 (only on WebLogic 12.2.1.2)

2.2.1.1 Installing JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME

If you do not already have the JDK software installed or if JAVA_HOME is not set, the Master Person Index installation will not be successful. The following tasks provide the information you need to install the JDK software on Windows and UNIX systems. Set JAVA_HOME on UNIX systems.


Caution:

NetBeans IDE requires JDK 1.7 Update 75 or later for installation. If you select a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) instead of a JDK, you cannot install or configure NetBeans IDE.

Oracle WebLogic Server, which is a separate installation, automatically installs JRockit JDK. However, if you intend to use Oracle JDK, it must be installed before you install the WebLogic Server.


2.2.1.1.1 To Install JDK Software on a Windows System
  1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

  2. Select the appropriate JDK version and click Download. The JDK software is installed on your computer (for example, at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75).


    Note:

    You can change this location.

2.2.1.1.2 To Install JDK Software and Set JAVA_HOME on a UNIX System
  1. Install the JDK software.

    • Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

    • Select the appropriate JDK version and click Download. The JDK software is installed on your computer. For example, at /usr/jdk/jdk1.7.0_75.


      Note:

      You can change this location.

  2. Set JAVA_HOME

    • Korn and bash shells:

      • export JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-dir

      • export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

    • Bourne shell:

      • JAVA_HOME=jdk-install-dir

      • export JAVA_HOME

      • PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

      • export PATH

    • C shell:

      • setenv JAVA_HOME jdk-install-dir

      • setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

2.2.2 Supported Web Browsers

OHMPI supports the following web browsers:

  • Firefox: All versions; v. 3.5x and newer are recommended

  • Internet Explorer (IE): Full support in version 7 and compatibility mode in version 8

    Some of the pages in the MIDM application report HTML errors for IE 8. This is because of the difference in the DOM implementation in IE8. You can ignore these errors.

  • Google Chrome

Oracle recommends that you use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to access the MIDM application in the WebLogic Clustering environment.

2.2.3 Supported Databases

OHMPI supports Oracle Database 12cR1 (12.1.0.2.0) and Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) Enterprise Editions.


Note:

You must have at least the Standard edition for OHMPI.

2.3 Time Synchronization Across Nodes

When multiple OHMPI nodes are deployed for load balancing or redundancy, synchronize the time on all the nodes, including the database node, before routing any requests.
