3.2.1 Downloading OFS Balance Computation Engine Application

To download and extract the release contents, follow these steps:

Note:

Enable the unlimited cryptographic policy. By default, JCE Policy JAR files are available for Java.
  1. Log in to My Oracle Support. In the Patches & Updates tab, search for patch ID 35854435.
  2. Download the OFSBCE Application v8.1.1.2.0 archive file and copy it to your OFSAA server in the Binary mode.

    Note:

    The archive files are different for different operating systems such as AIX, Solaris, and RHEL or Oracle Linux.
  3. Stop all the OFSAAI Services. For more information, see the Stop the Infrastructure Services section in the Oracle Financial Services Balance Computation Engine Application Installation and Configuration Guide Release 8.1.1.0.0.
  4. Log in to the OFSAA Server as a non-root user.
  5. Execute the following command:
    chmod -R 750 $FIC_HOME
  6. Assign the WRITE permission to the files and folders such as commonscripts, EXEWebService, ficapp, ficweb, and ficdb by using the following command: chmod -R 775 *
  7. If you have an Unzip utility, skip to the next step. Download the Unzip utility (OS-specific) unzip_<os>.Z and copy it in the Binary mode to the directory that is included in the PATH variable, in the $HOME path or directory in which you copied the OFSBCE Application v8.1.1.2.0 installer.
    1. a. Extract the unzip installer file using the following command:
      uncompress unzip_<os>.Z

      Note:

      If you notice an error message: “uncompress: not found [No such file or directory]” when the package is not installed, contact your UNIX administrator.
    2. Give the EXECUTE permission to the file using the following command:
      chmod 751 OFS_IBCE_8.1.1.2.0_<OperatingSystem>.zip
  8. Extract the contents of the OFSBCE v8.1.1.2.0 archive file using the following command:
    unzip_<os> -a <name_of_the_file_to_be_unzipped>

    Note:

    • Rename or remove the existing OFSAA Application Pack folder from the OFSAA server before extracting the contents from the release archive (.zip).

      For example: When this release is extracted from the archive, it creates a folder named OFS_IBCE_PACK. Rename or remove any existing folder with the same name, which exists in the path where the release archive is copied.

    • -a option in this step is mandatory to unzip the archive file.

      For example:

      unzip_aix -a OFS_IBCE_8.1.1.2.0_<OperatingSystem>.zip
