Overview of the Deployment Server
The Deployment Server for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne must reside on an Intel x86-based computer running Microsoft Windows. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software installation and upgrade programs enable you to create and maintain installation plans and deploy Release 9.2 to the Enterprise Servers and Development Clients.
The Deployment Server installation program is based on the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). You can use the OUI to install the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server fully on a local machine, or you can install the Deployment Client portion on a local machine and the Deployment Server portion or a remote machine.
This installation includes attaching and importing the Planner tables into the local database on the Deployment Server.
For Release 9.2, only the Oracle Enterprise Edition (OEE) database is supported as the local database on the Deployment Server.
A local Oracle database must exist before you can run the OUI-based Deployment Server installer. The JD Edwards program called InstallManager is used to start the installation of the local Oracle database.
No separate end-user licensing is required for installation of the local Oracle database. It should be noted, however, that the installed Oracle database is not fully functional relative to the commercial versions of the Oracle databases that are available.
If you are planning on using an existing machine with an existing installation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is recommended that you use SnapShot to preserve your existing release environment. Refer to the Caution in the section of this chapter entitled: Prerequisites.
