# 1 Oracle Application Server Integration B2B Installation Overview

This chapter provides an overview of installation scenarios and tasks for Oracle Application Server Integration B2B (OracleAS Integration B2B).

This chapter contains these topics:

- OracleAS Integration B2B Components Overview

- Installation Deployment Scenarios

- Installation Tasks Overview

## 1.1 OracleAS Integration B2B Components Overview

OracleAS Integration B2B provides a complete, integrated product for designing, deploying, and managing integrations between enterprises.

OracleAS Integration B2B components reside in the following locations:

- Oracle Application Server middle tier

  The OracleAS Integration B2B installation installs class libraries and a user interface tool. OracleAS Integration B2B must be installed in the same Oracle home directory as the J2EE and Web Cache installation type of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). The J2EE and Web Cache installation type provides a Web server that enables you to develop and deploy Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications and accelerate Web site performance with Oracle Application Server Web Cache.

- Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository

  OracleAS Integration B2B database schema is stored in the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository of Oracle Application Server Infrastructure.

  See Also: Oracle Application Server Integration B2B User's Guide for more details about OracleAS Integration B2B

Figure 1-1 shows OracleAS Integration B2B with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure and Metadata Repository.

Description of "Figure 1-1 OracleAS Integration B2B with Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository"

Note: Oracle strongly recommends that you install the middle and infrastructure tiers on separate hosts for better performance, as shown in Figure 1-1. Running all Oracle components on the same host is possible, but not recommended.

## 1.2 Installation Deployment Scenarios

OracleAS Integration B2B can be configured with the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository running in Oracle Application Server Infrastructure, Oracle Database 10g, or Oracle Database 9i version 9.2.0.5.0. The two scenarios, Infrastructure and Database, are described in the following sections:

- Scenario 1: OracleAS Integration B2B Configuration with OracleAS Infrastructure

- Scenario 2: OracleAS Integration B2B Configuration with Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Database 9i version 9.2.0.5.0

  Note: If you are using Oracle9iAS Infrastructure 9.0.2 or 9.0.3 or Oracle Application Server Infrastructure 9.0.4, you must first upgrade it to the current release of the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure. The term current release, used throughout this document, refers to the release number on the title page of this document.

  See Also: Oracle Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide in the Oracle Application Server 10g Documentation Library for upgrade instructions

### 1.2.1 Scenario 1: OracleAS Integration B2B Configuration with OracleAS Infrastructure

Oracle Application Server Infrastructure includes an Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository, a single sign-on server, and Oracle Internet Directory, which is a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP). The Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository is registered by default in Oracle Internet Directory. You can optionally associate this Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository version with OracleAS Integration B2B by selecting the Identity Management Access configuration option during installation.

### 1.2.2 Scenario 2: OracleAS Integration B2B Configuration with Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Database 9i version 9.2.0.5.0

You can configure Oracle Database 10g or Oracle Database 9i version 9.2.0.5.0 for use as the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository by running the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (RepCA) tool. The Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository is registered by default in Oracle Internet Directory. You can optionally associate this Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository version with OracleAS Integration B2B by selecting the Identity Management Access configuration option during installation.

See Also: Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant User's Guide for details about RepCA.

## 1.3 Installation Tasks Overview

Table 1-1 provides an overview of installation tasks to perform based on the type of Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository you are using and provides references to procedures for performing these tasks.
