Overview

This article provides the basic steps and instructions for installing Oracle10gAS on the Microsoft

Windows operating environment. Please keep in mind that this article should not be considered asubstitution for completing reading and understanding the official installation guide and release

notes from Oracle.

Installation Types

As with Oracle9iAS, you have four installation types for Oracle10gAS:

J2EE and Web Cache:

The J2EE and Web Cache is the smallest of the three installation types and

includes the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS), Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J), and

the Web Cache components. The components included with this type of

installation are considered the base components for all of the midtier and will be

included in all other installation types. This type of installation can function as a

standalone J2EE server or can be included within an infrastructure instance's

farm. It is important to understand that a J2EE and Web Cache installation does

not require an infrastructure configuration. When used as a standalone J2EE

server, however, you will have to resort to manual configuration and

management. If you elect to include this type of installation as a member of afarm, the instance can be configured using the Oracle Enterprise Manager

Application Server Control.

Portal and Wireless:

This type of installation will include all components of a J2EE and Web Cache

installation plus the Portal and Wireless components. Unlike the J2EE and Web

Cache installation type, a Portal and Wireless installation type requires access to

Oracle's Identity Management and the metadata repository within an

infrastructure instance. It is required to have an infrastructure instance installed

and configured before performing a Portal and Wireless installation.

Business Intelligence and Forms:

This is the largest installation type that includes all midtier components available

in Oracle10gAS. The Business Intelligence and Forms installation type includes

all components of a Portal and Wireless plus Oracle Application Discoverer,

Personalization, Reports Services, and Oracle Forms components. Just like the

Portal and Wireless installation type, this type of installation requires access to

Oracle's Identity Management and the metadata repository within an

infrastructure instance.

Infrastructure:

An Infrastruction installation provides many capabilities to most of the midtier

components that we have already discussed in the above installation types. In

fact, a successful Infrastructure installation is required for two of the three types

of midtier installation types. An Infrastructure installation provides access to

Oracle's Internet Directory (OID), Identity Management, and the metadata

repository for all midtier components.

When planning the installation of Oracle10gAS you must first determine if you

are going to need an Infrastructure. If you are going to be performing either a

Portal and Wireless installation or a Business Intelligence and Forms installation,

then you have no choice; you must install and configure an Infrastructureinstance. If you are going to only perform a J2EE and Web Cache installation,

then the Infrastructure instance is optional. If an Infrastructure installation is

going to be used, then it must be installed, configured, and running before

attempting the midtier installation types.

For the purpose of this article, I will be installing and configuring aBusiness Intelligence and

Forms installation type as well as the requiredInfrastructure installation. Both instances will be

installed on the same MS Windows server.

Server Configuration

As already mentioned, I will be performing aBusiness Intelligence and Forms installation type as

well as the requiredInfrastructure installation. Both instances will be installed on the same MS

Windows server. Before detailing the tasks required for installing both instances, let's first look at

the hardware and operating environment we will be using:

Server Configuration

Server Hardware

Dell Dimension 8200 Series (400MHz FSB)

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.8 GHz1.5 Gb Total Memory

60 GB Hard Drive

Operating System Windows XP Professional / SP 1

ORACLE_HOME (Infrastructure)Name: 10gASInfrastructure

Location: C:\oracle\10gASInfra

ORACLE_HOME (Business Intelligence and Forms)Name: 10gASMidtier

Location: C:\oracle\10gASMidtier

Downloading the Software

It is now time to download and extract the Oracle Application Server 10gSoftware for Microsoft

Windows. The software can be downloaded from Oracle's Technology Network web site

otn.oracle.com.

NOTE: If you do not currently have an account with Oracle OTN, you will need to create

one. This is a FREE account!

For this article, I will be downloading Oracle10gAS Enterprise Edition from the following:

Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4)

(Java, Standard, and Enterprise Edition)

AS10gNT_Disk1.zip - (472,288,995 bytes)



Download and extract the above three files to a temporary directory. This will be the staging area

where you will be installing Oracle10gAS from.

After extracting the three files, you should now have three directories called "Disk1, Disk2 and

Disk3" containing the Oracle10gAS installation files:

/Disk1/Disk2/Disk3

Infrastructure Install

On Microsoft Windows, there are no environment variables that need to be configured before

starting the install. The installation of all Oracle10gAS components use the familiar Oracle

Universal Installer (OUI).

To start the installation process, change to the directory Disk1 (from the extracted archive files in

the previous section) and execute the setup.exe command:

C:\OraInstall\Disk1> setup.exe

Once all of the configuration assistants have successfully completed, the OUI will

display theEnd of Installation screen. At this point, you should take note of the server

ports that have been configured to connect to the Infrastructure Instance and its OracleEnterprise Manager Application Server Control. The OUI will also log this port

information to the ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\setupinfo.txt file.

You can point your browser to the addresses shown to login to the Infrastructure

Instance and the Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control. For my

installation, I want to test both addresses by using the following:

Infrastructure Instance

Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control


Once you have verified that the Infrastructure Instance and the Oracle Enterprise

Manager Application Server Control are working, you should go back to the OUIEnd

of Installation screen and hit the button.

Midtier Install

After successfully installing, configuring and verifing the Infrastructure Instance installation, you

are now ready to install the application server middle tier. We will be installing the largest of the

three types of application server installs - theBusiness Intelligence and Forms installation type.


f 36 29.11.2012. 9:06


20/36

Also in our configuration, we will be installing the application server middle tier on the same

physical server as the Infrastructure instance.

NOTE: Previous versions of Oracle Application Server required you to shut down the

Oracle Enterprise Manager web site. This is no longer a requirement with Oracle10gAS.

The application server installation process will install over a fully running infrastructure.

In most cases, you can simply exit the OUI from the Infrastructure install and restart the

installation process for the application server install.

To start the installation process for the application server, change to the same Disk1 directory you

used for the Infrastructure install and execute the setup.exe command:

C:\OraInstall\Disk1> setup.exe
