This chapter describes how to install the OracleAS Portal services for Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One. The following topics are covered:
The OracleAS Portal installation include all the components included in J2EE and Web Services, as well as the following:
Oracle Instant Portal (Q42)
This component is used to publish and customize portlets for secure publishing and content sharing.
Identity Management
This component is used to create, define, and manage users.
Metadata Repository
This component serves as the database for Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One. You can choose to install the Metadata Repository that is included with the product, or you can use an existing database as the Metadata Repository.
OracleAS Web Cache
This component is used as a reverse proxy server to improve the performance and availability of Web sites that run on Oracle Application Server.
For more information about the components included in J2EE and Web Services, see Section 3.1.
You can install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in a new database, or in an existing database.
If you want to install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in an existing database, see Part III, "Installing Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant". If you choose to install OracleAS Portal with an existing Metadata Repository, you must perform this procedure before you begin the installation.
This section describes the procedure for installing OracleAS Portal.
Before you begin installing OracleAS Portal for Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One, make sure you have read both Chapter 1, "Product and Installation Overview" and Chapter 2, "System and Installation Requirements". These chapters contain important information with which you must be familiar before you begin the installation so you can avoid potential problems during the installation.
Table 4-1 provides a brief summary of the steps necessary to install OracleAS Portal with Identity Management and Metadata Repository with a basic installation. Of the two OracleAS Portal install types, you can only install a new Metadata Repository with the basic installation. If you want to use an existing database as the Metadata Repository, you must use the advanced installation.
For advanced installation instructions, see Section 4.3.4. For a summary of basic and advanced installation features, see Table 1-2.
