The following sections provide information that you need to know before installing the Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.2.2) product software:The Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.2.2) product software installer is based on the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). To install the Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.2.2) product software on your host, you must know how to use OUI to install Oracle products. For more information, see Introduction to Oracle Universal Installer.
Tuxedo 12.2.2 was originally tested with various patch levels of Java 1.8.
Since then, newer Java versions have become available, and Oracle has noted the following issues:
A copy of Java 1.8 should be used for Tuxedo installation, even if a newer Java version will be used at runtime.
Alternatively, a newer version of Java can be used for installation if the following changes are made before running the installer:
- If installing on Linux or Unix, modify the Disk1/install/runInstaller.sh file to comment out the lines
versionnum=`echo $version |$_awk -F '.' ' {print $2} '` if [ $versionnum -lt 7 ]; then echo version is less than 1.7 install_exit 1 fi
- If installing on Windows, modify the Disk1/install/setup.bat file to comment out the lines
if %JAVAVERNUM% lss 6 ( echo java version is less than 1.6,please update your java version goto end )
- If installing on Solaris, the clusterparam.ini, oraparam.ini, or oraparamsilent.ini file in the Disk1/install directory must be modified to remove the -d64 option in the setting of JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS.
Before installing a patch on Windows using Java 11 or later, please update opatch by installing the patch for Bug 6880880 - PLACEHOLDER FOR ALL RELEASES OF OPATCH.
This is mentioned in the README.txt file distributed with the rolling patch.
Suggest to apply RP047 and above which fixed Bug 30314204 - jolt.jar issue with default MBSTRING encoding on Java 8 and above.The Oracle Installation program uses a temporary directory in which it extracts the files from the archive that are needed to install Oracle Tuxedo on the target system.The amount of temporary storage space needed depends upon the target platform, as stated in the data sheets in Oracle Tuxedo 12c Release 2 (12.2.2) Platform Data Sheets.When you start OUI, it automatically copies specific executable files and link files into the default /tmp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\<user ID>\Local Settings\Temp on Microsoft Windows) on the machine. If the machine is set to run cron jobs periodically (along with many other processes that may be running), these jobs attempt to clean up the default temporary directory, thereby deleting some files and causing OUI to fail.
