5 Feature Activation

Before feature activation, perform the system health check as mentioned in previous section. This check ensures the system is ready for feature activation. Performing the system health check determines which alarms are present in the system and if feature activation can proceed with alarms.

WARNING:

If there are servers in the system, which are not in Normal state, these servers should be brought to the Normal or the Application Disabled state before the feature activation process is started. If alarms are present on the server, contact My Oracle Support (MOS) to diagnose those alarms and determine whether they need to be addressed or if it is safe to proceed with the feature activation.

Please read the following notes on feature activation procedures:

• Where possible, command response outputs are shown as accurately as possible. EXCEPTIONS are as follows:
  • Session banner information such as time and date.
  • System-specific configuration information such as hardware locations, IP addresses, and hostnames.
  • ANY information marked with “XXXX” or “YYYY” where appropriate, instructions are provided to determine what output should be expected in place of “XXXX or YYYY”
  • Aesthetic differences unrelated to functionality such as browser attributes: window size, colors, toolbars, and button layouts.
• After completing each step and at each point where data is recorded from the screen, the technician performing the feature activation must initial each step. A check box should be provided. For procedures which are executed multiple times, the check box can be skipped, but the technician must initial each iteration the step is executed. The space on either side of the step number can be used (margin on left side or column on right side).
• Captured data is required for future support reference.
