Understanding the Deployment Server Installer

A local Oracle (OEE) database engine and a database called E1Local must already exist on this machine. If not, use the procedures in the preceding section entitled: Installing the Local Oracle Database on the Deployment Server.

Tip: Installation Methods

You can install the Deployment Server using any of these methods:

• Directly from the Deployment Server installation DVD.

• From a copy of the Deployment Server installation DVD that exists on a hard disk drive.

• From a downloaded and unzipped image of the installation DVD that was obtained from the Oracle E-Delivery web site.

Caution: Microsoft Windows 2012. If you are running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server on a Microsoft Windows 2012 platform, you must be signed onto the machine as administrator. Additionally you must run all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installers and processes 'as Administrator '.Due to the security model on Microsoft Windows 2012, failure to run the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne processes 'as Administrator ' will likely result in random and unpredictable failures in the processes at run time.

Caution: Remote Desktop. If you are using Remote Desktop to connect to the Deployment Server, you must use the /admin argument to launch Remote Desktop. For example:C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe /F /admin If you do not run Remote Desktop with the /admin argument, Microsoft Windows blocks several important installer functions although Microsoft Windows reports success to the installer. For example, some registry entries will be missing and the Share for the Deployment Server will not be correctly created.

The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) process creates temporary files during the install. By default these are placed on the c: drive of your Windows-based Deployment Server. You may need a sizable amount of free space on your c: drive in order to complete the installation successfully.

Microsoft Windows 2012

For Microsoft Windows 2012, pay special attention to the various Cautions in the steps in this chapter.

This table lists the mandatory and optional components of the Deployment Server installation.

Server	Mandatory Component	Optional Components
Deployment Server	Deployment Client EnterpriseOne Files	Development environment Prototype environment Pristine environment Production environment

The installation process for the Deployment Server performs these functions:

• Installs the objects from the DVD images.

• Creates the path code directory structures (such as PS920 and PD920) based on your selections.

• Updates the Microsoft Windows Registry.

Note: You can run the Deployment Server and the Platform Pack installation concurrently (assuming the installation programs are run on different machines).

After verifying the support structure as shown in the section of this guide entitled: Obtaining and Preparing the Deployment Server Install Image, you can install the Deployment Server. This process installs the Deployment Server from DVD images.

Note: You must install the Deployment Server locally; you cannot install the Deployment Server from a remote machine. However, you can choose to install JD Edwards EnterpriseOne files and environments on a remote machine using a mapped drive. Prior to installing to a remote machine, you must have already setup the drive with network mapping.
