2 Preparing the Installation

2.1 Download

Download and extract the necessary software packages from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud https://edelivery.oracle.com/ or from Oracle Support (http://support.oracle.com).

Oracle Agile Engineering Data Management Application (Release e6.2.1.0) Media Pack delivered by Oracle on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud https://edelivery.oracle.com/.

Open the file and extract it. This will create the directory Agile_e6210. This directory is later referred to as the <installation-media-path>.

Note:

On UNIX, the unzip program has to be used to preserve all executable permissions while extracting the zip archive. Using ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/jar -xf <filename> to extract the zip archive will not preserve the executable permissions of the installation scripts. They will also be lost if the zip archive was extracted on a Windows system and then transferred to a UNIX system, or installed directly from a Windows share.

Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2) from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (https://edelivery.oracle.com). The installation source has to be unpacked on the hard disk first.

Oracle Client 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2) (32-bit) from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (https://edelivery.oracle.com). Please select the related 32-bit operation system. The installation source has to be unpacked on the hard disk first.

Note:

The 32-bit Oracle Client must be installed on the machine where Agile e6.2.1.0 is installed

Note:

For further information about the Oracle Database 12cR1, please refer to the chapter Installing Oracle Database Server.

WebLogic 12.2.1.2.0 media pack (Standard or Enterprise Edition depending on your licenses) delivered by Oracle on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud https://edelivery.oracle.com/.

2.2 Further Preparation Steps

2.2.1 Windows

To complete all installation tasks, the cmd shell has to be started.

Note:

Always start the cmd shell with "Run as administrator", even if you are doing the installation as the Administrator User.

To open the cmd shell with "Run as administrator", do the following:

Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
Select Run as administrator from the context menu.

The User Account Control Window appears.
Apply the needed credentials if asked, and select Yes/Continue to go ahead.

The Windows cmd shell appears. This is the shell you have to use for all installation tasks.

2.2.2 UNIX

There are no special permissions required for starting the installation.

Note:

Please be prepared, that at the end of the Oracle Database or Oracle WebLogic installation, special permissions to execute the scripts as the root user might be requested.

Note:

Do not use the root user to install any components.

2.2.3 Enable Trace (optional)

If you want to have detailed trace messages for your GUI installation, the following environment variables have to be set:

Note:

The path to the log files has to exist and the installer directory is writeable by the user who starts the installation.

Windows

set plm_ant_loglevel=4
set plm_ia_stderr=C:\temp\iastderr.log
set plm_ia_stdout=C:\temp\iastdout.log

UNIX:

setenv plm_ant_loglevel 4
setenv plm_ia_stderr ${HOME}/temp/iastderr.log
setenv plm_ia_stdout ${HOME}/temp/iastdout.log
