Install Oracle Application Server

Oracle Application Server provides Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, and Oracle HTTP Server (OHS).

To install Oracle Application Server:

1. Restart the computer.
2. Log in as the user you selected in Identify a Single Account to Perform All Application Tier Installation Tasks.
3. Stop the WebLogic Node Manager:
   1. Close the command shell in which the Node Manager is running, if any.
   2. If any DOS windows are open that are running the node manager, close them.
   3. Go to the Windows Control Panel, then Services, and stop the Oracle WebLogic Node Manager service.
4. In the staging area where you downloaded the media pack—see Download the Software—locate the directory where you downloaded Oracle Application Server 12c R2 (12.2.1.2) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) and extract the .zip file if you have not already done so.
5. Run the following file as an administrator:

   Disk1\setup.exe

6. Follow the instructions on the installation screens as the Oracle Universal Installer guides you through the installation. You can accept most defaults except as noted below:

SKIP Software Updates

1. Select Skip Software Updates instead of the default value, Search My Oracle Support for Updates.

   Oracle Clinical may not be certified with these updates.

Domain Name Must Be FRDomain

1. In the Select Domain window, rename the default name ClassicDomain (domain created by the Installer) to FRDomain or the RDC Onsite installation will fail.

2. Enter and confirm a password for the WebLogic Server.

Note:

If you do not rename the domain, you get the error: "File path wserver.conf not found. Make sure that the file exists on disk.

Specify Security Updates

1. Specify whether you want to register the product installation with My Oracle Support.

   If you register, Oracle Support emails you immediately of any security updates that are specific to your installation.

2. Follow instructions on the screen to register or to reject the option.

Note:

Even if you accept this option, you should check My Oracle Support for quarterly Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) security patches certified for use with Oracle Clinical.

Customize Port

1. Customize the port for greater security.

   Auto Port Configuration is the default setting.

Use Proxy

1. Use proxy for greater security.

   No proxy is the default setting.

Do NOT Use Application Identity Store

1. Deselect the Use Application Identity Store check box at the top of the screen; Oracle Clinical does not use OID (Oracle Identity).

Note:

After installing Oracle Application Server, you can check the log file which by default is in C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.

Stop Services

1. Shut down the following services:
   • WLS_FORMS under ORACLE_HOME
   • WLS_REPORTS under ORACLE_HOME

Create ORACLE_INSTANCE Environment Variable

Create the ORACLE_INSTANCE environment variable and define it as the Oracle Application Server Home:

1. From the Control Panel, select System, then Advanced System Settings.
2. Create a system variable named ORACLE_INSTANCE and set its value to your Oracle Instance Home; for example C:\oracle\middleware\asinst_1.
