Overview

The Oracle Insurance Policy Administration (OIPA) application and the Oracle Insurance Rules Palette (OIRP) form a solution for configuring, managing, and processing policy data. Both applications, along with the Web Application Utility (Palette Web), must be installed and then configured to work together. This install guide will cover steps for the installation process, in which the OIPA PAS application and the Web Application Utility (Palette Web) are configured using WebLogic. Refer to the OIPA Database Installation Instructions in the documentation library provided with the release to ensure the database is set up correctly.

Preparing the Docker Image from the Source

Building a docker image from source is relatively easy. This example shows the steps that are required to build and deploy a Policy Admin System (PAS) application. As a pre-requisite the docker must be installed on the host machine, where the Service Layer application container will be built.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation steps, the following components and binaries should be downloaded from My Oracle Support:

  • WebLogic supported version 15c (15.1.1.0) installed on a supported OS.

  • By default, the Dockerfile is configured with Oracle Proxy. Please comment on the proxy if you are outside the Oracle network or update it as per your proxy configuration.

    • # Comment https_proxy outside the ORACLE network

    • ENV https_proxy www-proxy-hqdc.us.oracle.com:80

  • Administrative rights to the server.

  • Oracle Insurance Policy Administration v12.2.0.0 Media Pack.

  • Oracle Insurance Rules Palette v12.2.0.0 Media Pack that includes Web Application Utility (Palette Web) files in the PaletteConfig folder.

  • Download the required Database driver:

    • Oracle 21.3.0.0 – The necessary driver, ojdbc17-23.6.0.24.10.jar, is included in the libs directory of the OIPA Media Pack. This file is not available for download. Contact your IT department if you need assistance locating these files. (Rename to ojdbc.jar).

      • Note: 12.2.0.0 is also supported on Oracle 19c, which is LTS (Long Term Support) and Oracle 26ai. If Oracle 19c / Oracle26ai is used, the corresponding supported ojdbc driver version shipped with Oracle database should be used in the step above.

    • Microsoft SQL Server- Use the compatible jdbc driver shipped with MS SQL Server software.

    • IBM DB2 – The two necessary .jar files (db2jcc4 and db2jcc4_license_cu) are included with the purchase of the DB2 software (DB2 Version 11.5). These files are not available for download. Contact your IT department if you need assistance locating these files.

  • Ensure fonts folder from distribution copied to OIPA Docker directory.
