1 Preparing for the Agile PLM Installation

This guide provides an overview of the Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) installation and configuration process. This guide covers the installation and configuration of Agile PLM running on Oracle Fusion Middleware.

1.1 Understanding the Basics

The Agile PLM application installer is built with the InstallAnyWhere utility which supports installing the following components of Agile PLM:

Application Server
File Manager
API

1.2 Obtaining Software

Oracle products are distributed as Media Packs. A Media Pack is an electronic version of the software. Refer to the Media Pack description or the list of products that you purchased on your Oracle ordering document. Then, view the Quick Install Guide License List to help you decide which Product Pack you need to select in order to search for the appropriate Media Pack(s) to download. Prior to downloading, verify that the product you are looking for is in the License and Options section of the E-Pack Readme. Oracle recommends that you print the Readme for reference.

Download the Oracle Agile Applications (Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management Release 9.3.6 Media Pack) Media Pack from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud web site (http://edelivery.oracle.com).

There is an itemized part list within each of the packs that you need to download all items in order to have the complete download for the desired Oracle Agile release.

All Oracle Software Delivery Cloud files have been archived using Info-ZIP's highly portable Zip utility. After downloading one or more of the archives, you must use the UnZip or the Winzip utility to extract the files. You must unzip the archive on the intended platform. Verify that the file size of your downloaded file matches the file size displayed by the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. Unzip each Zip file to its own temporary directory.

1.3 Installing Agile PLM Prerequisites

Before installing the Agile PLM application, you must install and run the Agile PLM database. For information on installing the Agile PLM database, refer to the Agile PLM Database Installation Guide.

Also, you must install the Oracle WebLogic Server software before installing the Agile PLM application server component. For information on installing Oracle WebLogic Server, see"Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure"

1.4 Understanding the Recommended Configuration

You can deploy the Agile PLM in different configurations. The amount of time required to complete an installation depends on the complexity of your deployment.

For installations using a certified localized language, install and run all server components on computers that are running the same localized OS. Clients can run on the same localized OS or an English OS.

The general recommended configuration for Agile PLM components is at least one computer for each of the following server components:

Agile PLM Database
Agile PLM Application Server

It is acceptable to install multiple server components on the same computer. However, the minimum hardware requirements must be increased based on the number of server components installed on a single computer.

Network service and TCP/IP protocol must be enabled before you install Agile PLM.

To set up an Agile PLM system, you should install the main components in the following order:

Agile PLM Database
Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure
Agile PLM Application Server
Agile PLM File Manager

Note:

If the Application Server and File Manager is installed on one computer, you must install them at the same time in the same install session.
