Install the Oracle Clinical Reports Server

Follow these instructions to deploy the Oracle Clinical Reports Server onto the application tier installation.

Note:

You must install Acrobat Reader before installing the Oracle Clinical Reports Server. The Installer detects the Reader's location and automatically configures the registry.

To install the Oracle Clinical Reports Server components:

  1. Log in as a user with system administrator privileges.
  2. Navigate to the location where you downloaded and extracted the software in Download the Software.
  3. Run the following file as an administrator:
    Disk1\install\setup.exe

    The Installer opens to the Welcome screen.

    Note:

    See Use the Silent Installer (Optional) for instructions for running the Installer as a file with pre-entered parameter values.

    Note:

    Although there is a button for deinstalling products on the Welcome screen, Oracle does not support using the Installer to deinstall Oracle Clinical or Oracle Clinical Remote Data Capture (RDC) Onsite.
  4. Select a Product to Install: Select Oracle Clinical Report Server 5.4.0.0.x.
  5. For Choose Install Type, select No.

    For the question "Do you want to create Report Server Component?":
    • If you select Yes, a new report server will be created, and you must provide a new name for the report server.
    • If you select No, provide the existing reports server name. The existing reports server will be deleted and then recreated.
