2 Technical Specifications

The BDI components have several dependencies on Oracle Retail Application installations, as well as on the Oracle WebLogic Servers. This section covers these requirements.

Requesting Infrastructure Software

If you are unable to find the necessary version of the required Oracle infrastructure software (database server, application server, WebLogic, etc.) 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.

Installation Notes

When redeploying BDI applications, please note the following.

• If any existing datasource connection detail is changed (in *env-info.json deployment config file), such as the JDBC URL, username or, password of the database connection, the datasource needs to be first deleted from the WebLogic server before installation. This is a manual step.

  • Log in to the WebLogic Server Admin console. Go to Services -> Data Sources page. Select the datasource, delete and activate the changes.

  • Proceed with the installation.

• The JobAdminDataSource and ReceiverServiceDataSource should also be cleaned if we are using the same schema, delete all the tables for RMS, RXM, SIM and external.

Note: The above steps are not required if no datasource connection detail is changed during redeployment.
