    in which your_base_directory is the location for your installation files and todays_date_time is the date and time of installation.

    A complete listing of log files is included in the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide.

    You have successfully installed Oracle9iAS Developer Kits. Proceed to Section 5.2, "Oracle9iAS Developer Kits Postinstallation" to complete the installation process.

5.2 Oracle9iAS Developer Kits Postinstallation

The following instructions guide you through the basic postinstallation tasks for Oracle9iAS Developer Kits.

The postinstallation contains the following sections:

5.2.1 Set Permission Tool

To enhance security of the files installed in your Oracle home, Oracle recommends changing the permissions on the installed files by running the Set Permission tool. After you run the Set Permission tool, only the Administrator and the user in the IASAdmins group can manage the files in your Oracle home. Changing the permissions on the files in your Oracle home prevents unauthorized users from reading your Oracle9iAS configuration files.

Open a command prompt window and enter the following command:

D:\ORACLE_HOME\bin\setPmsn admin D:\ORACLE_HOME

In this example D:\ORACLE_HOME is the location of the Oracle home.

The tool may take a few minutes to complete the necessary actions.


Note:

The Set Permissions tool does not work on Windows File Allocation Table (FAT) or FAT32 file systems. Windows FAT and FAT32 file systems do not allow users to set file permissions.


5.2.2 About the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web Site

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site is available after Oracle9iAS Developer Kits installation and component configuration. The Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site is comprised of Oracle Enterprise Manager Home Pages. Each Oracle Enterprise Manager Home Page is used to manage an installed Oracle9iAS component or instance.

Oracle strongly recommends that you use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and HTTPS for all connections to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site. Refer to the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide for setup information.

5.2.3 Starting and Stopping Components

Oracle9iAS components can be started and stopped using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site. For information on manual starting and stopping of Oracle9iAS components, refer to Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide.

5.2.4 Component Port Numbers

Following installation, the Oracle Universal Installer creates a file showing the port assignments during installation of Oracle9iAS components. The installation process automatically detects any port conflicts and chooses an alternative port in the range allocated for that component. Appendix G, "Default Port Numbers and Port Ranges" lists the default port ranges. The portlist.ini file is located at:

ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini

This file lists component entries as "port name = port value". For example:

Oracle HTTP Server port = 7777
Oracle HTTP Server SSL port = 4443
Oracle HTTP Server listen port = 7778
Oracle HTTP Server SSL listen port = 4444
Oracle HTTP Server Jserv port = 8007
Enterprise Manager Servlet port = 1810

You can also view the port numbers by pointing your browser to the Oracle9iAS Welcome page and selecting the Ports tab.


Note:

The Oracle Universal Installer uses the port numbers for select components during installation of Oracle9iAS. If you are planning on adding additional Oracle9iAS instances, make sure the installed instances are running at the time of additional installation.
