Installing the TMS Front End

TMS Front End and Server installation processes require that the FRDomain Admin Server, node manager, and managed servers are stopped.

The TMS Report Server must be installed on the same machine as the TMS Front End and requires that the WebLogic FRDomain Admin Server and node manager are running during installation.

Gather Required Information

Have the following information ready to enter in the Installer screens:

  • Home Details: Enter the following:

    • Name: OPA_HOME

    • Path: C:\opapps53 or any desired path

      Note:

      • OPA_HOME was created after you installed the TMS Database Server (see "Install the TMS Database Server").

      • If TMS 5.2.x or Oracle Clinical 5.2.x has already been installed on this application server, OPA_HOME may already be set to C:\opapps52 or similar path, and you must use this for TMS 5.3.x too. Do not create a new OPA_HOME if this was already created. The TMS 5.3.x components will be placed by the installer under this OPA_HOME at the specified location for the TMS 5.3.x release.

  • Java home is the location where JDK 1.8.0_251 or higher was installed.

  • Oracle Fusion Middleware home directory; for example:

    C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home

  • Oracle Fusion Middleware User Projects directory; for example:

    C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects

  • OPA home directory should be the same path as OPA_HOME; by default:

    C:\opapps53

  • OPADomain Administration Server configuration details:

    • Listen address

    • Listen port number

    • SSL listen port number

    • OPADomain WebLogic username

    • OPADomain WebLogic password

  • OPADomain Node Manager configuration details:

    • Listen address

    • Listen port number

    • WebLogic username

    • WebLogic Server password

  • OPADomain Default Coherence Cluster Listener Port: Installer default value is 7575. For FRDomain, the default value is 7574. Default Coherence Cluster Listener Port should be different between FRDomain and OPADomain.

  • Database details (this will be used to create a data source under OPADomain):

    • Server.Domain; for example:

      servername.your_company.com

    • Port number

    • Database service name

    • TMS Proxy Password (tmsproxy)—the password you created when installing Oracle Thesaurus Management System database objects.

  • Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU) configuration details:

    • Database host

    • Database port

    • Service name

    • Schema prefix

    • Database administrator username and password

    • RCU schema password

  • Wallet location: for the Wallet you created in Enable SSL Between a Browser and Oracle HTTP Server. (You can browse for it on screen.)

  • Managed Server configuration details:

    • Number of Managed Servers

    • Listen port start index

  • Online help URL: If you have customized the online help, the URL where the customized online help is located.

Start the Installer

To install the TMS Front End:

  1. Log in as a user with system administrator privileges.
  2. In the staging area, locate the directory where you downloaded and extracted Oracle Thesaurus Management System (see 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 Thesaurus Management System.

Attend to the TMS Front End Installer Screens

The Oracle Universal Installer guides you through the installation and configuration of the TMS Front End.

  1. Select a Product to install: Oracle Thesaurus Management System Front End 5.3.1.0.x.
  2. Choose Install Type: Select Yes to install a Oracle Thesaurus Management Front End.
  3. Available Product Components: Select Oracle Thesaurus Management System Front End 5.3.1.0.x.

    Note:

    Although the Installer gives you the option install the TMS Server (database server code) at the same time, do not select this option. You must install the TMS Server first, then the database objects, and then the Front End.

  4. Follow the instructions on the installation screens, providing the information you assembled in Gather Required Information.
  5. Summary: The Summary screen provides information about the global settings, languages, space requirements, and products for this installation.

    Review the installation details to verify that they are correct. To revisit earlier installation screens and make changes, click Back.

    When you are ready to continue, click Install.

  6. Install: The Installer copies the files onto the server, completes the setup and configuration tasks, and generates a log file of this installation.

    In addition, the Install screen displays the location of the log file that records the results of the installation activities for this session. Make a note of this information so you can view the log file after the installation.

  7. End of Installation: The End of Installation screen reports whether the installation was successful. In addition, this screen lists the URLs that you use to access the TMS application and TMS Lite Browser.

    The Installer saves the URL information in the following file:

    %OPA_HOME%\log\setup.txt

    When you have finished reviewing the installation information, click Exit.

Find the Installation Log Files

During the installation of an Oracle Health Sciences component, the Oracle Universal Installer generates the following log file:

installActionstimestamp.log

On a Windows installation, the log files are located at:

\Oracle\Inventory\logs

For example:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs

All generated log files have a timestamp appended to the name. For example:

installActions2013-04-30_11-22-52AM.log

If you encounter any error, contact Health Sciences Support.

Restart the Computer

To ensure that all configuration changes are initialized, you must restart the computer before you continue with the next task in the installation process or before you install Oracle Thesaurus Management System Reports Server.

Add WebLogic Data Sources If Using Multiple Databases

When you run the Oracle Thesaurus Management System Installer, it sets up a data source connection for TMS Lite Browser, from the WebLogic Server (WLS) to the database you specify in the Installer screens.

If you plan to use more than one database, you must create a WLS data source for the TMS Lite Browser (or RDC) for each additional database. The same data source connection can be used for running TMS reports.

Instructions are in the Oracle Thesaurus Management System User's Guide and the Oracle Clinical Remote Data Capture Onsite Administrator's Guide.
