Complete the Oracle Argus Analytics Installer Process

The installer will take you through a series of prompts. Attend to the Installer's prompts. The following sections describe each Installer screen, and the required action.

  1. Choice of New Install / Upgrade from Previous Versions

    Select if Oracle Argus Analytics is a fresh installation or an upgrade installation which is supported from Oracle Argus Analytics 8.2, 8.2.1, or 8.4 to 8.4.1.

    Note:

    The upgrade path installation needs information to be provided on the previous Oracle Argus Analytics installation details.

  2. Oracle Argus Analytics Home Path

    The Oracle Argus Analytics Home path is the location where all the staged files from the Installer will get copied to the local machine. This is also the location from where the Installer would execute the database scripts.

    Home Name: ANHome1

    Path: C:\argus_analytics

    Click Next.

    Note:

    In case of Installation choice as upgrade path, provide the previously installed Oracle Argus Analytics Home details.

  3. Oracle Argus Analytics (File Drop/Database Upgrade)

    Do you want to just drop files?

    • Yes:This option does not install or upgrade the database. Instead it only copies the files from the installer location to Oracle Argus Analytics Home, and jumps to Step 8 Summary Screen.

    • No: This option copies the files from the installer location to Oracle Argus Analytics Home and database install or upgrade is executed simultaneously. The installer continues to Step 4 to prompt for necessary details.

  4. Select the Choice of New Install / Upgrade from Oracle Argus Analytics 8.2, 8.2.1, or 8.4

    For new or upgrade install, corresponding details will be asked. These details are explained in the respective sections below.
