However, in case of a reinstallation, to enable the other Applications, skip the execution of the schema creation utility if it does not include any additional sandboxes to be created.

19. How many OFSAA Infrastructures can be installed in a single server?

    There are no issue in installing separate OFSAAI installations, each with their own PFT/FTP installations and separate associated database instances and separate Web Server installations on the same server as long as adequate memory is allocated for each instance and as long as each OFSAAI installation is installed using a separate UNIX user and profile. Care must be taken when running multiple OFSAAI installations on a single server. Adequate memory is required for each installation as several OFSAAI processes (model upload, DEFQ services, etc) take significant amounts of memory. So it depends on your server's memory.

    Yes. But, the Behavioral Detection Application Pack and Compliance Regulatory Reporting Application Pack are the exceptions. They must be installed in a different Infodom.

23. Is it possible to install applications on different Infodom within the Application pack? (For example, I want to install LRM and MR in two infodoms)

    Applications within the application pack have to be installed in the same information domain in the same environment.

24. How many Infodoms can be created over a single OFSAA Infrastructure of 8.1.2.0.0?

    You can install only one infodom during installation. But after installation, you can create multiple infodoms.

37. What are the Java versions supported in OFSAAAI Application Pack version 8.1.2.0.0?

    See the Hardware and Software Requirements section.

38. Is OFSAAAI Application Pack version 8.1.2.0.0 supported on Java 9 and Java 11?

39. What should I do when I get "[ERROR] - Error : APP Setup bin file failed." message during OFS_Application_PACK installation?

    This is a generic error message that appears during application installation failure. You must check the installation log files for more information about what failed the installation.

    However, if the message is displayed and the log files are not generated, this can be a temp directory issue. The resolution is that your UNIX administrator has to disable the NOEXEC option. The installers extract the installation files into the /tmp directory, and if NOEXEC is enabled, the execution of binaries will not happen in the directory and the installation fails. Re-run the installer after the configuration is changed. For detailed information, see the support note at https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=2340045.1.
