This section describes the software that needs to be installed for each of the supported operating system and application server combinations, including:

This section describes the software requirements for operating the application using the Oracle Linux or Red Hat Linux application server.

The following user groups and accounts have to be created to install and administer the application:

Throughout this document the administrator user ID is often referred to as the "cissys" user ID. You should substitute that with the customer defined user ID when not using the default value. After the initial install or upgrade, the software should always be managed using that user ID.

By default, the cissys user ID is the only one given access to the files installed.

The shell scripts use the ">" to overwrite shell functionality. Your operating system may be configured to not allow this functionality by default in the users shell.

To avoid file access permission problems when executing scripts, consider placing the following command into cissys profile script:

Various options exists to secure a system. In this application all files will be created with the minimum permissions required to ensure that group-readable, group-writable and group-executable files will have the correct user groups and to restrict the permissions available to legitimate users. In this way, a low privileged end user cannot directly edit configuration files and thereby bypass application security controls.

The following users and group categories must be defined to implement this security. For demonstration purposes the following users and groups will be used. These users must be created according to industry standards (including password policies). All users should be created with a default umask of 022 to ensure files created during normal operation have the correct permissions.

Replace these users and groups for your installation defaults:

At the time of release, download and install 64-bit Java 1.8.0_281+ before installing WebLogic. The packages could be obtained from My Oracle Support.

The Oracle WebLogic Server requires the 64-bit version. The main prerequisite for the web server is the version of Java mentioned above.

For the user ID cissys, ensure that the environment variable JAVA_HOME is setup, and that java_home/bin and java_home/lib can be found in cissys' PATH variable.

Install the Oracle Client as described in the Oracle Client installation documentation. Use the cissys account to install the Oracle Client. If another user installs the Oracle Client, make sure the cissys user ID has the proper execute permissions.

For the cissys user ID, ensure that the environment variable ORACLE_CLIENT_HOME is set up, and that ORACLE_CLIENT_HOME/perl/bin is the first Perl listed in the cissys account’s PATH variable.

You must install Hibernate before installing the product.

To install Hibernate external jar files to the Hibernate 3rd party jars depot:

Oracle WebLogic software can be downloaded from the Oracle web site. This application server will run as a 64-bit application.

 

This section describes the software requirements for operating the application using the Oracle Solaris 11 application server.

The following user groups and accounts have to be created to install and administer the application:
