1 Introduction

This document provides detailed instructions on how to install a Replenishment Optimization (RO) domain using a configuration created with the RPAS Configuration Tools. This document does not describe how to create the actual configuration. Supplemental installation guides are referenced in this document. The Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Installation Guide and the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Configuration Tools User Guide must be obtained prior to beginning the installation process. Read these documents in their entirety before beginning the installation.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Table 1-1 provides information on the hardware and software requirements.

Table 1-1 Hardware and Software Requirements

Requirement	Details
Supported RPAS Version	14.1.2
Oracle Retail Batch Script Architecture (BSA)	14.1.2
Required Software	Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.7u91 Note: There are specific JDK versions needed for each of the supported operating systems for the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server (RPAS). For the list of JDK versions, see the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Installation Guide. Note: When installing Java, avoid enabling AutoUpdate because it may update the Java version without prompting.

Note: RPAS applications, such as RO, run on the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server (RPAS) platform. For information about the hardware and software requirements for RPAS, see the supported RPAS version of the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Installation Guide. Verify that the UNIX operating system is updated to the currently supported version, which can be found in the ”Hardware and Software Requirements” section of the supported RPAS version of the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Installation Guide.

Supported Oracle Retail Products

Table 1-2 provides information about the supported Oracle Retail products.

Table 1-2 Supported Oracle Retail Products

Requirement	Version
Oracle Retail Analytic Parameter Calculator for Replenishment Optimization (APC-RO)	14.1.0
Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting (RDF)	14.1.2
Oracle Retail Advanced Inventory Planning (AIP)	14.1.2

Requesting Infrastructure Software

If you are unable to find the necessary version of the required Oracle infrastructure software (database server, application server, WebLogic, and so on.) on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, you should file a non-technical ’Contact Us' Service Request (SR) and request access to the media. For instructions on filing a non-technical SR, see My Oracle Support Note 1071023.1 – Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media.

Road Map for Installing Replenishment Optimization

This guide explains how you can install and set up the RO application. In order to install RO for production, you must perform the following tasks in a sequence:

Task	Description
Pre-installation Tasks
1.	Install and set up the RPAS Infrastructure. For more information, refer to the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Installation Guide.
2.	Install and set up the RPAS Client. RPAS Release 14.1.2 includes the RPAS Classic Client and RPAS Fusion Client. For more information, refer to the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Installation Guide.
3.	Oracle Retail Batch Scripting Architecture (BSA) must be installed prior to installing RO. For information about installing BSA, see the Oracle Retail Batch Script Architecture Implementation Guide.
Installation Task
4.	Access the RO installation software and install the application. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Full Installation on UNIX Environments".

Note: Refer to chapter, ”Creating a Multi-solution Taskflow” in the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Configuration Tools User Guide for information about the Multi-solution Taskflow.
