2 Oracle DIVAdirector Software

This chapter discusses the software in general, identifies prerequisites for installation, and includes the following information:

DIVAdirector Prerequisites

The server can connect to Oracle DIVArchive 7.4, or later, through the Oracle DIVA Enterprise Connect software. You will install PostgreSQL database, DIVAdirector, and the following components:

  • Oracle DIVAdirector Web Server 5.4.1

  • Oracle DIVAdirector TaskManager

  • Oracle DIVAdirector API

  • PostgreSQL 9.6.6

Caution:

Ensure that the computer name is set before running DIVAdirector installer. The computer name cannot be changed after DIVAdirector is installed because it invalidates the rights and permissions of the IIS user account.

Ensure that the computer's drives and network connections are correctly configured. Storage locations must have appropriate access rights, and network devices must have log in credentials configured to connect automatically.

Ensure the computer's Administrator account has a secure password.

If you are performing an upgrade, you can upgrade to DIVAdirector 5.4.1 directly from DIVAdirector 5.2 or later. The upgrade is not compatible with DIVAdirector releases before release 5.2. Earlier releases of DIVAdirector have additional steps required before they are eligible to upgrade with this installer. Contact Oracle Support for details on the necessary steps to upgrade from earlier releases.
