Install the TMS Database Server

The Oracle Thesaurus Management System Database Server code must be installed on Windows on the same computer as the TMS Application Tier. You must install the server first, then create one or more databases, and then install the Application Tier.

Gather Required Information for TMS Database Server

Make sure you have the information below, which is arranged in the order it is prompted for by the Installer during a fresh installation. The order for upgrades is somewhat different.

Note:

You must install the Oracle Thesaurus Management System database server before you install or upgrade the Oracle Thesaurus Management System database.

1. OPA Home: the directory where Oracle Thesaurus Management System will be installed; by default:

   c:\opa_home

   Note:

   • If TMS is integrated with Oracle Clinical 5.4.1 and Oracle Clinical has already been installed, OPA_HOME may already exist and set to something other than c:\opa_home. You must continue using the already created OPA_HOME with the value set by the previous installation.

   • Same OPA_HOME or similar application home name was already created when Oracle Thesaurus Management Database Server was installed. You must continue using the already created OPA_HOME with the value set by the previous installation.

Start the TMS Database Server Installer

To install the TMS Database Server:

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 the Welcome screen also shows a button for deinstalling products, Oracle does not support using the Installer to deinstall Oracle Thesaurus Management System.

4. In the Select a Product to Install page, select Oracle Thesaurus Management System Database Server 5.4.1.0.x.

Attend to the TMS Database Server Code Installation Screens

The Installer guides you through the installation and configuration of the TMS database server. Provide the information you assembled in "Gather Required Information for TMS Database Server."
