Install the InForm Adapter

Install the appropriate version of the InForm Adapter for the version of InForm you are using:

  • If you are using Oracle Health Sciences InForm 6.0.1.2 or 6.1.1.4, install InForm Adapter Release 1.3.9.
  • If you are using Oracle Health Sciences InForm 6.2.1 or 6.3, install InForm Adapter Release 6.2.1 or 6.3.

Oracle Health Sciences InForm Adapter 1.3.8 Release Notes (with installation and upgrade instructions) are available on My Oracle Support, document ID: 2113098.1. You can find the Oracle Health Sciences InForm Adapter Installation Guides for 6.2.1 and 6.3 on Oracle Help Center.

You can install the Discrepancy Enhanced interface, Adapter Admin interface and RegisterTrialTool on a dedicated computer—the most common configuration—or on the InForm application server computer with the InForm Server Adapter (ISA).

The InForm Server Adapter (ISA) must be available on the InForm application server to invoke the "Issue" and "Update" methods in the Discrepancy Enhanced interface, and the ISA Windows service must be running.

Note:

Make sure that all the clocks are synchronized on the machines where you plan to install the InForm Adapter interfaces, InForm server, database server, and the Oracle DMW application tier.

Check the InForm Integration

  1. Verify that the ISA URL opens correctly in the browser from your local machine.
  2. To verify that it is accessible from DMW server and there are no network connectivity issues, execute the wget command:

    wget your_ISA_URL

    It should return a message ending in "...connected."

Create InForm Users

On each InForm database with a study you plan to use Oracle DMW:

  1. Log in to UMT using an account that can create new users, such as system.
  2. Create a user with a suggested username DMW_AUTH to be used for authentication purposes by the web service connection. This user does not need any privileges. Its username and password will be used within Oracle DMW when creating web service locations.
  3. Create a user with the required name DMW_QUERY to be used for sending and updating discrepancies in InForm.
    • Make DMW_QUERY a sponsor user
    • Assign the DMW_QUERY user to a query group.

    It is not required to give the DMW_QUERY user access to sites or even be part of a rights group that can manipulate discrepancies. The password for this user is not used in Oracle DMW.

  4. Activate both accounts.
