# 1 Preparing for the Agile PLM Installation

This guide provides an overview of the Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) installation and configuration process. This guide covers the installation and configuration of Agile PLM running on Oracle WebLogic Server 12c.

## 1.1 Understanding the Basics

The Agile PLM application installer is built with Install AnyWhere and enables you to install the following components of Agile PLM:

- Application Server

- File Manager

- API

## 1.2 Obtaining Software

Oracle products are distributed as Media Packs. A Media Pack is an electronic version of the software. Refer to the Media Pack description or the list of products that you purchased on your Oracle ordering document. Then, view the Quick Install Guide License List to help you decide which Product Pack you need to select in order to search for the appropriate Media Pack(s) to download. Prior to downloading, verify that the product you are looking for is in the License and Options section of the E-Pack Readme. Oracle recommends that you print the Readme for reference.

Download the Oracle Agile Applications (Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management Release 9.3.3 Media Pack) Media Pack from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud web site (`http://edelivery.oracle.com`).

There will be an itemized part list within each of the packs and you will need to download all items in order to have the complete download for the desired Oracle Agile release.

All Oracle Software Delivery Cloud files have been archived using Info-ZIP's highly portable Zip utility. After downloading one or more of the archives, you will need the UnZip utility or the Winzip utility to extract the files. You must unzip the archive on the platform for which it was intended. Verify that the file size of your downloaded file matches the file size displayed on Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. Unzip each Zip file to its own temporary directory.

## 1.3 Installing Agile PLM Prerequisites

Before installing the Agile PLM application, the Agile PLM database must be installed and running. For information on installing the Agile PLM database, see the Agile PLM Database Installation Guide.

The Oracle WebLogic Server software must be installed before the Agile PLM application server component can be installed. For information on installing Oracle WebLogic Server, see"Installing Oracle WebLogic Server"

## 1.4 Understanding the Recommended Configuration

Agile PLM may be deployed in different configurations. The amount of time required to complete an installation depends on the complexity of your deployment.

For installations using a certified localized language, all server components must be installed on computers running the same localized OS. Clients can be running on the same localized OS or an English OS.

The general recommended configuration for Agile PLM components is at least one computer for each of the following server components:

- Agile PLM Database

- Agile PLM Application Server

It is acceptable to install multiple server components on the same computer. However, the minimum hardware requirements must be increased based on the number of server components installed on a single computer.

Network service and TCP/IP protocol must be enabled before you install Agile PLM.

To set up an Agile PLM system, you should install the main components in the following order:

1. Agile PLM Database

2. Agile PLM Application Server

3. Agile PLM File Manager

Note: If the Application Server and File Manager will be installed on one machine, they should be installed at the same time in the same install session.

## 1.5 Configuring the User Productivity Kit

If you purchased the Agile User Productivity Kit (UPK), the online help system for Agile PLM, follow the instructions in the UPK documentation for configuration after Agile PLM 9.3.3 is installed.
