This chapter describes how to install the Oracle Managed File Transfer (MFT) software.
Before you begin installing, ensure that you have installed Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure as detailed in Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure. Also, ensure that you have met all the minimum requirements detailed in Section 1.4. By the end of this chapter, you would have installed the Managed File Transfer Software in an Oracle home.
This chapter contains the following sections:
To start the installation program, perform the following steps.
Log in to the target system.
The installer requires that a certified JDK already exists on your system. For more information, see the appropriate certification document for 12c (12.1.3) on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location of a certified JDK on your system. The location should be up to but not including the bin directory. For example, if your JDK is located in /home/Oracle/JDK/jdk7_55/jdk1.7.0_55:
On UNIX operating systems:
setenv JAVA_HOME /home/Oracle/JDK/jdk7_55/jdk1.7.0_55
On Windows operating systems:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\home\Oracle\JDK\jdk7_55\jdk1.7.0_55
Go to the directory in which you downloaded the installation program.
Launch the installation program by invoking the java executable from the JDK directory on your system, as shown in the examples below.
On UNIX operating systems:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_mft.jar
On Windows operating systems:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_mft.jar
Note:
You can also launch the installer in silent mode to ensure that no configuration options are displayed during the installation process.
For more information about silent or command line installation, see "Using the Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.
When the installation program appears, you are ready to begin the installation. See Section 2.2 for a description of each installation program screen.
The installation program displays a series of screens, in the order listed in Table 2-1.
If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, click the screen name.
Table 2-1 Oracle Managed File Transfer Install Screens
| Screen | Description |
|---|---|
|
On UNIX operating systems, this screen will appear if this is the first time you are installing any Oracle product on this host. Specify the location where you want to create your central inventory. Make sure that the operating system group name selected on this screen has write permissions to the central inventory location. For more information about the central inventory, see "Understanding the Oracle Central Inventory" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer. This screen will not appear on Windows operating systems. |

This screen introduces you to the product installer. |
|
|
Use this screen to specify the location of your Oracle home directory. This location must already contain Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure. For more information about Oracle Fusion Middleware directory structure, see "Selecting Directories for Installation and Configuration" in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware. |
|
|
This screen verifies that your system meets the minimum necessary requirements. If there are any warning or error messages, you can refer to one of the following documents in Section 1.4. |
|
|
Use this screen to verify the installation options that you have selected. If you want to save these options to a response file, click Save and provide the location and name of the response file. Response files can be used later in a silent installation situation. For more information about silent or command line installation, see "Using the Oracle Universal Installer in Silent Mode" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer. |

This screen summarizes the installation that was just completed. Review the information on this screen, then click Finish to dismiss the installer. |
After you complete the installation, you can verify it by successfully completing the following tasks:
Review the contents of the installation log files to make sure that no problems were encountered. For a description of the log files and where to find them, see "Understanding Installation Log Files" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.
The contents of your installation vary based on the options you selected during the installation.
For more information about the directory structure you should see after installation, see "What are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories?" in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
You can also view the contents of your Oracle home using the viewInventory script. For more information, see "Viewing the contents of an Oracle home" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.
