Stage - 1 : Pre-Installation Steps

Before you install Oracle Documaker Enterprise Edition, make sure you have completed the following steps. Contact the appropriate system administrator for help with web application server details, database, email, and other connection information.

Step A: Checking Requirements

Step B: Downloading the Software

Step A: Checking Requirements

  1. Make sure you have met the required software and hardware as described in the Documaker System Requirements Guide. This includes having the following:

  2. An installed database

    • Oracle database

    • IBM DB2

      • LUW

For DB2, make sure the buffer space and default page size are set to 32K. Also, if the data files are on the same drive as the database executable, DB2 requires an environment variable to be set via a command prompt. Once set, restart the database.

  1. SQL Server

    • An installed web application server

      • Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c infrastructure 12.2.1.2.0

        Note:

        Fusion Middleware will not install to a path with spaces so WebLogic/ WebSphere should be installed in a path without spaces.

  2. Make sure you have the following information available during the installation process:

    • The location where you will be installing Documaker Enterprise. The default installation location is where the home directory is based on the user installing the system.

      Note:

      This is the default location unless there is already an ORACLE HOME directory, in which case the default is the existing ORACLE HOME location.

      Keep in mind:

      • The location path cannot contain spaces.

      • The location path must be in lowercase.

    • The display names for the Document Factory System and Assembly Line.

    • The location of the hot directories where extract data files can be picked up by the Document Factory.

  3. Make sure you have the necessary the database connection information, including the database host, port, and system ID (SID).

  4. Make sure you have the necessary web application server connection information including the following:

    For Have this information
    WebLogic Protocol, host, port, user (principal) and password (credentials)

  5. If you will be using email distribution or notifications, make sure you have the necessary connection information including the host, port, user name, password, and default sender address. The username/password comes from the LDAP system.

  6. If you will be using Oracle WebCenter (formerly known as UCM) for attachments, make sure you have the necessary connection information available including the user name, password, connection string, and document URL.

  7. If you will be using Short Message System (SMS) notifications, make sure you have the necessary Unified Messaging Service (UMS) connection information including the user name, password, and endpoint.

  8. If you will be using Documaker Interactive: Correspondence option and wish to use Oracle SOA BPEL option to process Approval Workflow, make sure you have deployed SOA BPEL and have the necessary connection information. Later you will deploy the BPEL process and Oracle Business Rules to SOA and can configure Documaker Interactive to use those endpoints for approval workflow.

  9. Make sure you have the appropriate communication ports open between the servers and the appropriate permissions and rights on the servers. System components will use the credentials and ports entered during the installation; these ports may be blocked by default on servers with advanced security.

In addition, advanced security settings may prevent even administrative users from writing to some directories. Please contact your system administrator and security staff for confirmation

Note: Oracle recommends that you add a common user group for all Oracle installations so the installer files can be shared and recognized within the installed server. Run the installer as a user within this group.

Linux packages required as pre-requisites:

To run Oracle Documaker Enterprise Edition v12.6.2 on Linux, the following Linux packages are required as prerequisites:

  1. libstdc++ v33 (32-bit) (e.g. compat-libstdc++-33.i686)

  2. libaio.i686 (32-bit)

  3. libXext (32-bit)

  4. libXrender (32-bit)

  5. libXtst (32-bit)*

  6. libtiff (32-bit)

Example:

To pre-check the required libraries run a command to aid:

$ rpm -qa | grep -E -e 'libstdc++-33' -e libaio -e libXext -e libXrender -e libXtst -e libtiff | grep -E -e i686 | grep -v devel

Example output:

  • libXext-1.3.2-2.1.el6.i686

  • libXrender-0.9.8-2.1.el6.i686

  • libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.i686

  • libXtst-1.2.2-2.1.el6.i686

  • compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686

  • libtiff-3.9.4-10.el6_5.i686

If there are 6 matches, all the pre-requisites are installed.

If they are not installed properly, please check that the 64-bit versions are installed and use yum command to get the matching versions for 32-bit. Enter the following command to check through the 64-bit versions.

$ rpm -qa | grep -E -e 'libstdc++-33' -e libaio -e libXext -e libXrender -e libXtst -e libtiff | grep -v devel

Step B: Downloading the Software

The Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (OSDC) site lets you download Oracle software products.

The process of downloading software from OSDC includes following steps:

  1. First, go to the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud website:
    https://edelivery.oracle.com
  2. Sign in with your Oracle account. If you do not have an Oracle account, you can register for an account here.
  3. Search for the software by typing in the search bar and selecting it. For example, enter 12.6.2 to search for the list of Release 12.6.2 versions of Oracle Documaker software products.
  4. Select the platform from the ‘Select platform’ drop-down.
  5. The selected products are then listed under ‘Download Queue’. Click the X (cross) which is adjacent to the product in case you want to remove individual files or click ‘Remove All’ in the lower left corner of the dialog if you want to remove all the listed items.
  6. Click ‘Continue’ to proceed to next screen; you will see a list of the selected software for downloading.
  7. Choose the individual software components for download and click ‘Continue’ if you wish to proceed or ‘Return to Search’ to review different software for downloading.
  8. Read the license agreement carefully; mark the check box to agree with license agreements, and click ‘Continue’.
  9. Click ‘Download’ button to download the software or click the filename to individually download the files.
  10. While you can save the file on any machine you choose, we recommend you save the file onto the machine where you plan to run it. You must unzip the file on the platform for which it was intended. The length of time it takes to download an application depends on the size of the download, your connection speed, and the amount of traffic on the site.
  11. Once the Download has completed, click ‘Return to Search’ to search and download additional files or click ‘Sign Out’ to log off Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

Step C: Logging in as root

Before you install the Oracle software, you must complete several tasks as the root user. To log in as the root user, complete one of these procedures:

  • Installing from an X Window system workstation or terminal

  • Installing from a system with X server software

Installing from an X Window system workstation or terminal

If you are installing the software from an X Window system workstation or X terminal, follow these steps:

  1. Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).

  2. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then enter the following command to enable the remote host to display X applications on the local X server:

    $ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name

    Here is an example:

    $ xhost somehost.us.acme.com

  3. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then use the ssh, rlogin, or telnet command to connect to the system where you want to install the software:

    $ telnet fully_qualified_remote_host_name

  4. If you are not logged in as the root user, then enter the following command to switch user to root:

    $ sudo sh
    password:
    #

Installing from a system with X server software

If you are installing the software from a PC or other system with X server software installed, follow these steps:

Note: Refer to your X server documentation for more information about completing this task. Depending on the X server software you are using, you may need to complete the tasks in a different order.

  1. Start the X server software.

  2. Configure the security settings of the X server software to permit remote hosts to display X applications on the local system.

  3. Connect to the remote system where you want to install the software and start a terminal session on that system, for example, an X terminal (xterm).

  4. If you are not logged in as the root user on the remote system, enter this command to switch user to root:

    $ sudo sh
    password:
    #
