2 OSM System Requirements

This chapter describes the Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) system requirements. It also describes information you need during the installation procedure.

Software Requirements

For details about the software required to support the OSM components for traditional deployment, see "OSM Traditional Deployment Software Compatibility" in OSM Compatibility Matrix.

Information Requirements

You must supply configuration-related information when you install OSM. Some of this information is determined during the installation. However, some information should already have been determined before the OSM installation is begun. Gather this information in advance.

Note:

You can obtain most of the required configuration information from your Oracle database administrator (DBA) and your system administrator.

Oracle Database Information

The information in Table 2-1 is needed to connect to an Oracle database instance.

Table 2-1 Oracle Database Connection Information

Information Type Description

Database Instance Host

The IP address or DNS name of the database instance on which the OSM schema will be installed. If you plan to use an Oracle RAC database, you need the Single Client Access Name (SCAN) for this field.

Database Instance Port

The port on which the database instance to which the OSM schema will be installed is listening.

Database Instance SID

The SID of the database instance on which the OSM schema will be installed.

Database Service Name

The name of the service used for OSM client connections.

If the OSM database users have been created prior to the OSM installation, you must gather the information in Table 2-2 before installing OSM. If they have not been created, you can determine the following information during the installation.

Table 2-2 Oracle Database Credential Information

Information Type Description

Core Schema User name

The OSM core schema username.

Core Schema Password

The OSM core schema username password.

Rule Engine Schema User name

The OSM rule engine schema username.

Rule Engine Schema Password

The OSM rule engine schema username password.

Reporting Schema User name

The OSM Reporting Interface schema username.

Reporting Schema Password

The OSM Reporting Interface schema username password.

Database Admin User name

The user name of the Oracle DBA.

Database Admin Password

The password of the Oracle DBA.

Table 2-3 shows the information used to indicate the tablespaces being used for the installation.

Table 2-3 Oracle Database Tablespace Information

Information Type Description

Default Tablespace

The tablespace to use if your data will all be on the same permanent tablespace.

Temporary Tablespace

If your database instance has only one temporary tablespace, the installer will find its name automatically. If there is more than one temporary tablespace in the database instance, you must know which one OSM is supposed to use.

Model Data Tablespace

The name of the tablespace to use for model data, if different from the default tablespace.

Model Index Tablespace

The name of the tablespace to use for the indexes for the model data, if different from the default tablespace.

Order Data Tablespace

The name of the tablespace to use for order data, if different from the default tablespace.

Order Index Tablespace

The name of the tablespace to use for the indexes for the order data, if different from the default tablespace.

WebLogic Server Information

Table 2-4 shows the WebLogic Server information needed to connect to a WebLogic server.

Table 2-4 WebLogic Server Information

Data Description

WebLogic Host Name

The name or IP address of the computer where WebLogic Server is installed.
