Oracle Universal Installer Requirements

This section contains prerequisite information for the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). The requirements in this section must be met in order for the installer to start:

• Startup Requirements
  
• Modifying the SHMMAX Parameter on Linux Operating Systems
  

Startup Requirements

The items in Table 2-2 are verified as the installer is being started:

Table 2-2 Oracle Universal Installer Startup Requirements

Category	Accepted or Minimum Values
Platforms	For a complete list of supported platforms, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page, as described in Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guides.
CPU Speed	At least 300MHz.
Monitor	At least 256 colors (this is a requirement for the graphical mode installer only).
Swap Space	At least 512MB.
JDK	See Java Development Kit (JDK) Requirements for more information about JDK verification on your system.
Temp Space	At least 300MB. Note: The temporary space noted here is in addition to the temporary space required for installer extraction as mentioned in Temporary Disk Space Requirements.

Modifying the SHMMAX Parameter on Linux Operating Systems

If you are running Oracle Universal Installer on a certified Linux operating system, you must modify the value of the SHMMAX kernel parameter to avoid seeing errors generated by the Oracle Universal Installer.

Note:

The following examples are for Linux operating systems. Consult your operating system documentation to determine the commands to be used on your system.

To set the SHMMAX kernel parameter:

1. Change the value of SHMMAX to 4294967295 by including the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf:

   kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
   

2. Activate the new SHMMAX setting by running the command:

   /sbin/sysctl -p
   

3. Start the Oracle Universal Installer and install your software.

Repository Creation Utility Requirements

This section contains the following topics:

• RCU Supported Platforms
  
• RCU Requirements for Oracle Databases
  

RCU Supported Platforms

You can run RCU from any machine to connect to any certified local or remote database in order to create the schemas required by your Oracle Fusion Middleware product. The database can be running on any operating system platform that is supported by that particular database.

RCU Requirements for Oracle Databases

RCU checks for the following on Oracle databases:

• Database version is:

  • Equal to or higher than 11.2.0.4 for 11g Release 2 databases

  • Equal to or higher than 12.1.0.1 for 12c databases

    Note:

    Always refer to the appropriate certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page for the latest certification information.

    In some cases, additional database certifications may be added before RCU is updated. When you run RCU, you may receive a warning that the database on which you are installing the schemas is not supported; as long as the database version is listed in the certification document, you can safely ignore this warning.

• Database supported type is Oracle Enterprise Edition.

  Note:

  Oracle Enterprise Edition is certified for Oracle Fusion Middleware.

• Database is installed with Oracle JVM enabled. Refer to your database documentation for information about how to do this.

• Character set is AL32UTF8.

  If your database does not use the AL32UTF8 character set, you will see the following warning when running RCU:

  The selected Oracle database is not configured to use the AL32UTF8 character set. Oracle strongly recommends using the AL32UTF8 character set for databases that support Oracle Fusion Middleware.
  

  User can proceed with this warning but it is highly recommended to use the AL32UTF8 character set to avoid any error with RCU.

• The following database parameters are set as specified:

  Parameter	Minimum Required Value
  SHARED_POOL_SIZE	147,456 KB
  SGA_MAX_SIZE	147,456 KB
  DB_BLOCK_SIZE	8 KB
  session_cached_cursors	100
  processes	500
  open_cursors	800
  db_files	600

For details on Database Requirements, see Database Requirements

Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence Disk Space Requirements

Table 2-4 shows the disk space requirements for Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.

Table 2-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Disk Space Requirements

Installation Type	Disk Space required
Fusion Middleware Infrastructure	1.4 GB
Fusion Middleware Infrastructure With Examples	1.5 GB

Oracle HTTP Server Disk Space Requirements

Table 2-5 shows the disk space requirements for Oracle HTTP Server.

Table 2-5 Oracle HTTP Server Disk Space Requirements

Installation Type	Disk Space Required
Standalone HTTP Server	1.5 GB
Colocated HTTP Server	1.5 GB

Oracle Data Integrator Requirements

Table 2-6 shows the system requirements for Oracle Data Integrator.

Table 2-6 Oracle Data Integrator Requirements

Resource	Recommended Minimum Value
CPU	Pentium IV 2 GHz or faster
Available Memory	3 GB of RAM for one agent. For environments with no WebLogic server, the amount of memory you want to allocate to each agent is set by the ODI_MAX_HEAP parameter in the DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setODIDomainEnv.[sh|bat] script. The default value is 256MB, which means you can run more than one agent on a system with 2GB of available memory (for example, two agents would take up 512MB of memory). The value set by ODI_MAX_HEAP multiplied by the number of agents is the minimum amount of available memory required on your system; the amount of additional memory needed beyond this number depends on the number of other application you have running on your system. For environments with WebLogic server, set the memory allocation by modifying the WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT parameter in the DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.[sh|bat] script. See, Tuning Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) in Performance and Tuning for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Disk Space	Standalone Installation: 3.5 GB Enterprise Installation: 3.5 GB Embedded Enterprise Installation (separate installation required for the Standalone Installation to have access to ODI Studio): 2.5 GB
Database Space	The following are the recommended database storage space values: Master Repository: 200 MB Work Repository: 400 MB

You must select the non-XA Driver, Oracle's DB2 Driver (Type 4) Versions:7.x and later for WebCenter Content User Interface to work properly.

See the 12c (12.2.1.3.0) certification document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page for the latest information on certified databases.
