4 Installation of Application 12.1.1 (Multi-Node)
4.1 Database Installation
Login as oracle user on DB
Node
To start the Installation run the
following script
$ cd
/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
$ ./rapidwiz
Restarting the
installation
If the installation process
terminates before completion, use the -restart parameter to
run Rapid Install again.
$ rapidwiz –restart
Step1: Start the Rapid Install wizard
As
you start wizard welcome screen appears. Click next.
Step2: Select a
wizard operation
Use
the Select Wizard Operation screen to indicate the action you want Rapid Install
to perform. You begin both new installations and upgrades from this screen.
Based on the action you choose, the Rapid Install wizard continues with the
appropriate screen flow.
Step3: Choose Oracle Configuration Manager Options
Oracle Connection Manager (OCM) is an optional component
that is designed to facilitate support for your Oracle products. The initial OCM
screen appears as part of a Rapid Install run.
On
this screen, you are required to enter your Customer Support Identifier
(CSI), your OracleMetaLink account details, and your country.
Step4: Identify configuration file
On
the Configuration Choice screen, you indicate whether you will be using
previously saved configuration details.
If
you choose Create a new configuration , Rapid Install saves the
configuration parameters you enter on the wizard screens in the Applications
database, and in a configuration file (conf_<SID>.txt), which is stored in
your system temporary directory until the installation is completed.
If
you choose Load the following saved configuration, the database connect
string field becomes active. For a configuration stored in the database, this
field is made up of <hostname>:<SID>:<database port>, for
example testdb.qamar.com:testdb:1521
Step5: Specify Global System Settings
On
the Global System Settings screen, you indicate whether you want to accept the
default port values. You can specify a port pool setting to enable
multiple Applications environments to co-exist on the same machine.
For
example, if you select an increment of 3 from the Port Pool list, the values in
the Derived Port Settings will reflect this choice. Use the scroll bar or click
Advanced Edit to see the Port Values screen.
Step6: Define Database Node Configuration
On
the Database Node Configuration screen, indicate the kind of database you want
to install in the new system, the name you will use to identify it, the machine
on which it will run, and that machine's domain name. You then need to confirm
the operating system shown on the drop-down list is correct, specify the Oracle
user's operating system account name and group, and finally specify the base
directory under which the installation is to take place.
If
you wish to search the file system for a suitable base directory, click
Browse to open a navigation window.
Step7: Select product license type (Fresh Database
installation only)
When
installing a fresh database (not a Vision demo database), the wizard prompts you
to indicate the type of licensing agreement you have purchased from Oracle. It
then presents the appropriate licensing screen.
Step8: Select Country-Specific Functionality (Fresh
Database installation only). If required.
In
our case we will not select any country.
Step9: Enter Primary Applications Node Information
You
have already specified the top-level directory for the RDBMS. Now you must
specify top-level directory and subdirectories associated with the Applications
nodes.
Step10: Review Pre-Install
Checks
Rapid Install performs a series of system tests to validate the
configuration specified. The System Check Status screen checks port
availability.
The
Validate System Configuration screen now appears, to indicate whether various
pre-install requirements for the installation have been met.
Step11: Begin the Installation
On
the Component Installation Review screen, Rapid Install lists the components it
will install, based on the system parameters you entered in the wizard.
Click Next. Rapid Install now displays another alert
screen asking you to verify that you are ready to begin the installation. Click
Yes.
Step12: Review Post-Installation Tests:
After the installation is complete, Rapid Install automatically
validates the installed Applications environments. Tests include database
availability, correctly configured environment files, and functioning
listeners.
Rapid Install informs you of the components that it installed on
the Finish screen
Installation successfully completed on
Database Node.
4.2 Application Installation
Step1: Start the Rapid Install wizard
As
you start wizard welcome screen appears. Click next.
Step2: Select a
wizard operation
Use
the Select Wizard Operation screen to indicate the action you want Rapid Install
to perform. You begin both new installations and upgrades from this screen.
Based on the action you choose, the Rapid Install wizard continues with the
appropriate screen low.
Step3: Choose Oracle Configuration Manager Options
Oracle Connection Manager (OCM) is an optional component
that is designed to facilitate support for your Oracle products. The initial OCM
screen appears as part of a Rapid Install run. You must click on either
Accept or Decline to proceed or not proceed with deploying
OCM.
If
you choose the Oracle-recommended option of Accept, you are presented
with another OCM screen:
On
this screen, you are required to enter your Customer Support Identifier
(CSI), your
OracleMetaLink account details, and your country.
Step4: Identify configuration file
On
the Configuration Choice screen, have to
chose the load saved configuration option and For a configuration stored in the
database, this field is made up of <hostname>:<SID>:<database
port>
*
<hostname> is database node name
Rapid Install performs a series of system tests to validate the configuration specified. The System Check Status screen checks port availability.
The
Validate System Configuration screen now appears, to indicate whether various
pre-install requirements for the installation have been met.
Step5: Begin the Installation
On
the Component Installation Review screen, Rapid Install lists the components it
will install, based on the system parameters you entered in the wizard.
Click Next. Rapid Install now displays another alert
screen asking you to verify that you are ready to begin the installation. Click
Yes.
Step6: Review
Post-Installation Tests:
After the installation is complete, Rapid Install automatically
validates the installed Applications environments. Tests include database
availability, correctly configured environment files, and functioning
