Installing this Major Release

To install this Major Release, perform the following steps:

1. Login to My Oracle Support and search for 35855930 under the Patches & Updates tab.
2. Download the installer archive and copy it (in Binary mode) to the download directory that exists in the Oracle Insurance Accounting Analyzer Installation setup.
3. Download the OFS_IAAEP 8.1.2.4.0 archive file and copy it to your OFSAA Server in Binary mode. Stop all the OFSAAI Services. For more information, see the Start/Stop Infrastructure Services section in Oracle Insurance IFRS 17 Pack Installation Guide Release 8.1.2.0.0.
4. Login to the OFSAA Server as a non-root user and navigate to the $FIC_HOME folder.
5. Assign WRITE permission to the file/folders such as common scripts, EXEWebService, ficapp, and ficweb, and find them in the $FIC_HOME folder by executing the command:

   chmod -R 775 *

6. If you have to Unzip utility, skip to the next step or download the Unzip utility (OS-specific) and copy it in Binary mode to the directory that is included in your PATH variable, typically $HOME path or directory in which you have copied the 8.1.2.4.0 release.
   • Uncompress the unzip installer file using the 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.
7. Extract the contents of the 8.1.2.4.0 archive file by using either of the following commands:

   unzip <name of the file to be unzipped>

8. Give EXECUTE permission to the utility by using the command:

   chmod 751 unzip_<os>

9. Navigate to the OFS_IIAEP/appsLibConfig/conf directory.
10. The OFS IAA Extension Pack does not require the Data Model upload, hence, accordingly, specify the value for the Data Model in the Silent.props file.
11. In the params.conf file, in the IAAEP8124/appsLibConfig/conf/ path, set the upload model to 0.
12. Execute the setup.sh without giving any of the parameters that are available in the <Installer Unzipped Folder>/OFS_IAAEP/bin file.
13. Verify if the application is applied successfully by checking the OFS_IAAEP_installation.log files generated in OFS_IAAEP/logs directories.
14. After successful installation, perform the following steps:
    • Clear the application cache. Navigate to the following path depending on the configured Web Application Server and delete the files.
      • Tomcat: <Tomcat installation folder>/work/Catalina/localhost/<Application name>/org/apache/jsp
      • Weblogic: <Weblogic installation location>/domains/<Domain name>/servers/<Server name>/tmp/_WL_user/<Application name>
      • Websphere:<Websphere installation directory>/AppServer/profiles/<Profile name>/temp/<Node name>/server1/<Application name>/<.war file name>
15. Back up the existing EAR/WAR files that are available in the folder $FIC_HOME/ficweb, and then delete them before creating the new EAR/WAR files.
