Installing and configuring the Oracle database software

Before installing the Clintrial, InForm, or CIS software, install and configure the Oracle software on each computer in your CIS environment.

For information about setting up the Oracle software on the InForm Server, see the following InForm documentation as appropriate for your configuration:

For InForm releases 4.6 and 4.7, see the InForm Installation and Configuration Guide.
For InForm release 5.0 and higher, see the InForm Installation Guide.

For information about setting up the Oracle software on the Clintrial server, see the Clintrial Getting Started manual.

Note: The following Oracle Database patch is required for the Clintrial database server if it is running Oracle 11.2.0.4:

For a Linux Clintrial database server—Patch number 16305657 (OBJECTS LOCKED FOR INCORRECT DURATION WHEN SQL RUN FROM PLSQL).
For a Windows Clintrial database server—Patch number 22839608 (WINDOWS DB BUNDLE PATCH 11.2.0.4.160419).

If you are migrating from a Windows 2003 environment running an earlier release of the CIS software, or upgrading to this release, see the CIS Release Notes.

Note: The CIS 4.6.2 release supports only the AL32UTF8 CHARACTER_SET and the AL16UTF16 NATIONAL_CHARACTER_SET.
