# 2 Oracle Application Server Integration B2B Installation Requirements

This chapter describes requirements for installing Oracle Application Server Integration B2B.

This chapter contains these topics:

- System Requirements

- Supported Web Browsers

- Migration Restrictions

- Globalization Requirements

## 2.1 System Requirements

Table 2-1 describes OracleAS Integration B2B system requirements. The term current release refers to the release number on the title page of this document. See the Certify section of OracleMetaLink for Oracle certification matrices:

`https://metalink.oracle.com`

Note: OracleAS Integration B2B and the J2EE and Web Cache installation type must be installed in the same Oracle home on the same host. Ensure that your host has sufficient memory and disk space for both components.

Table 2-1 OracleAS Integration B2B System Requirements

Element | Requirement
--- | ---
Memory | The J2EE and Web Cache installation type requirement of 512 MB includes OracleAS Integration B2B memory requirements.
Disk space (OracleAS Integration B2B only) | 305 MB for Windows 429 MB for Solaris 600 MB for Linux 600 MB for HP-UX 600 MB for AIX
Operating system | Sun SPARC Solaris version 8 or 9 See Also: Oracle Application Server Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) for information on any required operating system patches and packages, swap space requirements, and kernel parameter settings HP-UX 11i (11.11 and 11.23) PA-RISC or later Note: Ensure that the `/usr/lib/libCsup_v2.2` library file has read and execute privileges for all users before installing OracleAS Integration B2B on HP-UX. See HP patches PHSS_30968 and PHSS_28879. See Also: Oracle Application Server Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for hp-ux PA-RISC (64-bit) for information on any required operating system patches, packages, and kernel parameter settings Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Note: These supported versions are for Linux on the x86 architecture. Check the Certify section of OracleMetaLink (`https://metalink.oracle.com`) for support of these Linux versions on different architectures. See Also: Oracle Application Server Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Linux x86 for information on any required operating system patches, packages, and kernel parameter settings Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 Windows XP Windows 2003 See Also: Oracle Application Server Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Microsoft Windows for information on processor, `TEMP` directory, virtual memory, and swap space requirements AIX 5L Based Systems (64-Bit) See Also: Oracle Application Server Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for AIX 5L Based Systems (64-Bit) for information on any required operating system patches, packages, and kernel parameter settings
Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository | Use the current release of the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository, which includes the Oracle Application Server Integration B2B (10.1.2) schema. See Also: "Step 1: Install or Upgrade to the Current Release of the OracleAS Metadata Repository" for information on installing or upgrading to the required Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository release
J2EE and Web Cache | Use the current release of J2EE and Web Cache.

Note: OracleAS Integration B2B cannot be installed on a node that is part of an OracleAS Middle Tier cluster. Additionally, nodes with individual installations of OracleAS Integration B2B may not be clustered.

## 2.2 Supported Web Browsers

Table 2-2 lists the supported Web browsers for use with the OracleAS Integration B2B user interface tool.

Table 2-2 Supported Web Browsers

Operating System | Supported Browser
--- | ---
UNIX | Netscape 7.0
Windows 2000 | Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0
Windows XP | Internet Explorer 6.0
All | Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4

Notes: Install a Web browser using the Typical installation option. Custom-installed browsers can have problems with popup windows such as the calendar selection. Ensure that cookies are enabled in your Web browser. The OracleAS Integration B2B caching mechanism uses cookies to identify user sessions.

## 2.3 Migration Restrictions

You cannot migrate the data of previous or current releases of the following components to this release of OracleAS Integration B2B:

- Oracle9iAS InterConnect

- Oracle Application Server InterConnect

- Oracle Application Server Integration InterConnect

- Oracle Application Server ProcessConnect

## 2.4 Globalization Requirements

Review the following OracleAS Integration B2B globalization status issues:

- Seed data is provided in English only.

- The OracleAS Integration B2B user interface tool is translated into nine languages. To display the user interface tool in one of these languages, select the appropriate language during installation from the product language list.

- The online help available with the OracleAS Integration B2B user interface tool is available in English only for this release.

- The UTF8 character set does not support supplemental characters. While AL32UTF8 supports supplemental characters, the `XMLType` does not support character set conversions on a 9.x database and the JDBC driver uses UTF8 to transfer text data. The JDBC driver supports AL32UTF8. The JDBC driver uses UTF8 to communicate with the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository. The `XMLType` on the Oracle9i Database does not handle conversions between UTF8 and AL32UTF8. Using the UTF8 character set is the only option that works in this situation.

- If you want to use globalization support, you must add the following parameter to the `ORACLE_HOME``/ip/config/tip.properties` file with the correct multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) type for UTF-8 character set support:

      oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.MimeType = application/xml : text/plain; charset=ISO8859-1

  If you do not perform this task, you receive the following error:

      AIP-50082: document protocol identification error

Note: Ensure that you install J2EE and Web Cache and OracleAS Integration B2B under the same operating system locale (for example, install both in English). If you install J2EE and Web Cache and OracleAS Integration B2B under different locales (for example, one in English and the other in Japanese), installation does not complete.
