Using Server Manager to Install the Tools Release

Although the process to install the Deployment Server itself remains via an OUI installer, for Release 9.2, you must use Server Manager to install or change a tools release on the Deployment Server. The following list of procedures are fully documented, where:

  • Installation procedures are provided in the Server Manager Installation Guide.

  • Configuration instructions are provided in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager Guide, which is located in the both the Installation and Upgrade libraries for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) at this link:

Tip: The links to the Server Manager Guide that are provided in the below steps are "live" only in the HTML version of this guide.

  1. Install a Management Agent on the Deployment Server. This should be the Tools Release 9.2 version of the Microsoft Windows version of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Management Agent.

    Refer to the Server Manager Installation Guide.

    Note: The installer for the Management Agent requires a 32-bit JRE.

    If you are installing the base Tools Release 9.2, you can use the same JRE that you used to install the Deployment Server using the OUI installer, which is described in the section of this guide entitled: Running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server Installer.

    If you are installing a Tools Release Greater than the Base Release, ensure that the requisite JDK on the Deployment Server meets the version requirements as specified in Oracle Certifications. If you need to upgrade the JDK, you should do so before you use Server Manager to deploy the new Tools Release. If an upgraded JDK version is applied on the target machine, it must be manually copied to the ..\system\jre folder on the Deployment Server for use by the Tools Release for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

  2. Register the Deployment Server to the Server Manage Console.

    Refer to this chapter in the Server Manager Guide:

    Register a JD Edwards Deployment Server as a New Managed Instance

  3. Obtain and deploy the Tools Release software component for the Deployment Server.

    Refer to this chapter in the Server Manager Guide:

    Managed Software Components

    Note: Changing Tools Releases on the Deployment Server From a Release Prior to Release 9.2. When you use Server Manager to install the Software Component for a Tools Release prior to 9.2 on a Deployment Server, these two directories (which are the entire contents of the Tools Release portion of the Deployment Server) are backed up in a .jar file:Therefore, when you use Server Manager to change a Tools Release prior to 9.2 on the Deployment Server, only those directories are restored. For Tools Release 9.2 and greater, the Server Manager install of the Tools Release performs differently because the contents are already stored in a .jar file where they can be extracted. In all cases, whenever Server Manager installs or changes a Tools Release, additional special files such as certain .ini and .html files are backed up.To fully preserve a Deployment Server, you should manually perform a full backup of the machine.
