Installing InForm Adapter

During the installation, you must provide the credentials for an InForm Adapter user account. You can either create a new user or select an existing InForm Adapter user. To create a new user, you need the credentials for an Oracle account with user creation privileges. Alternatively, the database administrator can run the CreateInFormAdapterUser.sql script, located in the dbasql subfolder of the InForm Adapter installation folder, to create an InForm Adapter user account that you can use for the installation.

This is an example of running CreateInFormAdapterUser.sql in SQL*Plus:

C:\work\IA6.2\dbasql>sqlplus system/oracle@dev1 @CreateInFormAdapterUser.sql

    The installation wizard verifies that the server has all the necessary software components, including the operating system, IIS, and the Oracle client.

    If required components are missing or are the wrong version, installation stops. The names of missing and invalid components appear on the Required System Components page. You must install them before continuing the installation.

    The Setup Type page appears.

  7. Select Custom, and click Next. This allows you to select which interfaces to install. If you select Complete, all the web interfaces will be installed.

    The Destination Folder page appears.

    Verify the location where you want to install the product. To change the location, click Change and select another location.

    Note: If your company uses other Oracle products that require a company URL, the value you provide in this field must be identical to the URL you provided elsewhere.

  12. Click Next.

    The Database Configuration page appears.

    This step requires that you provide an InForm Adapter user account. You can use an existing user or create a new one.

  13. To use an existing InForm Adapter user, select Existing User and provide:
    • The account user name.
    • The password for the account you specified.
    • The TNS alias name to connect to the database.

    Click Next.

    If you use this method, skip the next step and go to step 17.

    The next Database Configuration page appears, on which you must specify credentials for an Oracle account that can be used to create an InForm Adapter user and schema.

    • An Oracle account with user creation privileges.
    • A password for the Oracle account you specified.

    Click Next.

    The next Database Configuration page appears, on which you must specify the new InForm Adapter username and password.
