System Requirements and Specifications

11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

E18558-01

January 2017

This document contains system and platform-specific information for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.9.0) products.

The following topics are covered in this document:

1 Product Names Introduced in 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)

Starting with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0), Oracle WebCenter and Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite have been rebranded. Refer to "New Product Names for Oracle WebCenter and Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide for details.

2 Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide

This document is intended for use in conjunction with the various Oracle Fusion Middleware product installation guides and the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Certifications.

Task 1   Find Out What is Certified

The Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Certifications can be found in the table on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page. Find the .xls document that includes your products.

Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments; whenever new certifications occur, they are added to the proper certification document right away. New certifications can occur at any time, and for this reason the certification documents are kept outside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

If you use My Oracle Support, you can also refer to "My Oracle Support Certification Tool for Oracle Fusion Middleware Products" (Doc ID 1368736.1) for certification information.

Task 2   Verify the Requirements of the Certification

The Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document (this document) should be used to verify that the requirements of the certification are met. For example, if the certification document indicates that your product is certified for installation on 32-Bit Oracle Linux 5, this document should be used to verify that your Oracle Linux 5 system has met the required minimum specifications, like disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items. This document is updated as needed and therefore also resides outside of the documentation libraries and is available on Oracle Technology Network.

Task 3   Install Your Software

After you have verified that your environment meets the requirements specified in both the certification documents and system requirements, you are ready to begin your installation.

Your product installation guides contain the step-by-step instructions to get your product physically installed and configured on your system. These guides are available only from the documentation library (http://docs.oracle.com/) and therefore are not updated unless there is a subsequent product release. Both the certification and system requirement documents can be updated multiple times in between product releases, depending on whether or not new information is available.

3 Oracle WebLogic Server and JDK Information

This section contains the following:

3.1 Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware Software Versions

Most Oracle Fusion Middleware products require the presence of Oracle WebLogic Server on your system. The version of Oracle WebLogic Server that is required depends on the version of Oracle Fusion Middleware you are installing. See Table 1 for more information.

Refer to the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document to see if there are additional versions of Oracle WebLogic Server that can be used with your version of Oracle Fusion Middleware. This document is available in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page, as described in Section 2, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".

Oracle WebLogic Server can be obtained from the following URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/

3.2 Understanding the Embedded JDK

The Oracle WebLogic Server requires a Java run-time environment (JRE) to run. When you install Oracle WebLogic Server, a JDK is bundled in the Windows 32-bit and Linux x86 installation programs, as well as in some UNIX installation programs (those with file names ending in .bin).

For other platforms, the installation program does not install a JDK (file names for these installation programs end in .jar). To run the .jar installation programs, you must:

  1. Have a certified JDK installed on your system.

  2. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the location of this JDK. For example:

    setenv JAVA_HOME /home/JDK/jdk_version
    
  3. Include the JAVA_HOME (up to and including the /bin directory) at the beginning of your PATH environment variable definition. For example:

    setenv PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
    

3.3 Upgrading the Embedded JDK in 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0) does not include an updated version of Oracle WebLogic Server; this release is supported for use with Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6, which was released with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0).

As a result, some Oracle Fusion Middleware products may require a JDK version higher than the one that is embedded with Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6. In such cases, you must manually upgrade your JDK to the supported version.

See the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page for supported JDK versions.

3.4 Requirements for the 64-Bit JDK Environment

If your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are running in a 64-bit JVM environment, ensure that WebLogic Server is installed with the 64-bit JDK or is using a supported 64-bit JDK on your system. You cannot mix components using a 32-bit JVM with those using a 64-bit JVM.

3.5 Patches Required for Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5)

If you are installing Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) software with Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.5), you must download and apply the following patches to your 11gR1 (10.3.5) Middleware home directory:

  • Patch 12913145 (SNMPTRAPSENDER.SENDTRAP() NOT SENDING TRAP WITH ADMIN-CHANNEL TURNED ON)

  • Patch 10404224 (MDB CONFIG DOES NOT DISPLAY POOL PARAMETERS IF MDB DD DOES NOT CONTAIN IT)

    Make sure to download the 10.3.5 version of this patch.

  • Disk Space: 5GB or more

    • 1050MB are required for the Developer installation

    • 700MB are required for the Standalone installation

    • 1800MB are required for the Java EE installation

  • Available Memory: 2GB or more for one agent

    The amount of memory you want to allocate to each agent is set by the ODI_MAX_HEAP parameter in the ODI_HOME/oracledi/agent/bin/odiparams.sh (on UNIX operating systems) or ODI_HOME\oracledi\agent\bin\odiparams.bat (on Windows operating systems) file. The default value is 256MB, which means you can run more than one agent on a system with 2GB of available memory (for example, two agents would take up 512MB of memory).

    The value set by ODI_MAX_HEAP multiplied by the number of agents is the minimum amount of available memory required on your system; the amount of additional memory needed beyond this number depends on the number of other application you have running on your system.

4.7.2 Application Server Requirements for Java EE Components

The Java EE components in Oracle Data Integrator require the presence of an application server on your system.

For 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) and earlier, only Oracle WebLogic Server can be used as the application server; make sure your system also meets the Oracle WebLogic Server system requirements before you install the Java EE components. IBM WebSphere is supported as an application server beginning with 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0).

5 Oracle Fusion Middleware Network Requirements

Typically, the computer on which you want to install Oracle Fusion Middleware is connected to the network. The computer has local storage to store the Oracle Fusion Middleware installation and also contains a display monitor and DVD drive.

This section describes how to install Oracle Database on computers that do not meet the typical scenario. It describes the following cases:

5.1 Configuration Requirements for Installing on a DHCP Host

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses on a network. Dynamic addressing allows a computer to have a different IP address each time it connects to the network. In some cases, the IP address can change while the computer is still connected. You can have a mixture of static and dynamic IP addressing in a DHCP system.

In a DHCP setup, the software tracks IP addresses, which simplifies network administration. This lets you add a new computer to the network without having to manually assign that computer a unique IP address. However, before installing this software onto a computer that uses the DHCP protocol, you must install a loopback adapter to assign a static, non-routable IP address to that computer.

If you are installing your Oracle Fusion Middleware products on a DHCP host, you must follow the configuration steps in this section for your platform.

5.1.1 For Linux x86 Platforms

On Linux x86 operating systems, configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries:

127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

After doing so, check that the hostname resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:

/bin/ping hostname.domainname

5.1.2 For Windows x86 Platforms

On Windows operating systems, install a loopback adapter on the single DHCP host that obtains an IP address from the DHCP server. This assigns a local IP address to your computer:

After installing the adapter, add a line to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following format, immediately after the localhost line:

IP_address   hostname.domainname   hostname

Replace IP_address with the local IP address of the loopback adapter. To find the IP address of your loopback adapter, use the ping command, as shown in the example below using just the host name (first example) and the fully qualified domain name (second example):

ping examplehost
Reply from 10.10.10.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
ping examplehost.exampledomainname.com
Reply from 10.10.10.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Note:

When you ping a computer from itself, the ping command should return the local IP address (the IP address of the loopback adapter).

Instructions for removing the loopback adapter are provided in Section 5.1.2.4, "Removing a Windows Loopback Adapter".

5.1.2.1 Installing a Loopback Adapter on Windows 2003, Windows 2003 R2, and Windows XP

5.2 Configuration Requirements for Installing on a Non-Networked Computer

You can install your Oracle Fusion Middleware product on a non-networked computer, such as a laptop. Because a non-networked computer has no access to other computers, you have to install all the components that you need on the computer.

In addition, you must follow the instructions in Section 5.1, "Configuration Requirements for Installing on a DHCP Host" to install a loopback adapter and modify the hosts file on your system.

5.3 Configuration Requirements for Installing on a Multihomed Computer

You can install your Oracle Fusion Middleware product on a multihomed computer. A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a host name; additionally, you can set up aliases for each hostname.

The installer picks up the fully qualified domain name from the first entry in /etc/hosts (on UNIX operating systems) or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (on Windows operating systems) file. So if your file looks like the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.1.1 examplehost1.example.com examplehost1
10.2.2.2 examplehost2.example.com examplehost2

examplehost1.example.com would be picked for configuration.

For specific network configuration of a system component, refer to the individual component's configuration documentation.

In any situation where you change any combination of the host name, domain name, or IP address of a host, you also change the information for Java components and system components. See "Changing the Network Configuration of Oracle Fusion Middleware" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for more information about additional steps that need to be performed.

5.4 Configuring Your /etc/hosts File

This section contains the following:

5.4.1 Correct Format For Entries in the /etc/hosts File

To ensure that both forward lookup (find the IP address given the hostname) and reverse lookup (finding the hostname given the IP address) return the same results, make sure your /etc/hosts file is formatted correctly using the following guidelines:

  • The host name may contain only alphanumeric characters, hyphen, and period. The name must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an alphanumeric character.

  • Host names should be specified as fully qualified host names (host name with the appended domain name).

  • Lines cannot start with a blank space or tab character, but fields may be separated by any number of space or tab characters.

  • Comments are allowed and designated by a pound sign (#) preceding the comment text.

  • Trailing blank and tab characters are allowed.

  • Blank line entries are allowed.

  • Only one host entry per line is allowed.

5.4.2 Configuration Requirements for Installing OPMN

If you are installing Oracle Identity Management, Oracle Web Tier, or Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (products that include Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server or OPMN), you must make sure the installation system has valid entries in the /etc/hosts (on UNIX operating systems) and C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (on Microsoft Windows operating systems) file.

You can check your system's IP address and host name as follows:

On UNIX operating systems:

/sbin/ifconfig -a

On Microsoft Windows operating systems:

ipconfig /all

The IP address and corresponding host name in your hosts file must match the IP address and host name you get from the ipconfig command. Otherwise, the opmn.xml file will contain incorrect configuration information, and OPMN will not start.

If you encounter any issues, refer to "Changing Network Configurations" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

5.5 Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 for Fusion Middleware Products

This section contains the following:

5.5.1 IP Considerations for Domain Extension on Remote Machines

If you want to expand or extend a domain on remote machine where one machine (machine1) is listening on one network address and other machine (machine2) is listening on dual network addresses, you must do the following in order to be able to expand or extend the domain:

  1. Configure the domain on machine1.

  2. On machine1, go to the DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.[sh|cmd] file and set the following property:

    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
    
  3. Restart the Administration Server on machine1.

  4. Expand or extend the domain on the remote machine.

5.5.2 Using Web Cache in an IPv6 Network

Oracle Web cache supports the IPv6 address family by default. However, before using IPv6, you must ensure that IPv6 support is enabled in the operating system. This issue is not applicable for IPv4-only systems and for systems that support IPv6 at the kernel level.

If the system's IPv6 network configuration issue cannot be resolved, one work around is to disable IPv6 Support for Oracle Web Cache after it fails (note that this cannot be done until after the installation or configuration fails on IPv4-only systems). This can be done by adding the <IPV6 ENABLED="NO"/> tag below the </MULTIPORT> tag in the INSTANCE_HOME/config/WebCache/webcache1/webcache.xml file. This allows Web Cache to use IPv4 on the system.

5.5.3 Using Other Oracle Fusion Middleware Products in an IP6v6 Network

In addition to Oracle Web Cache, you can use other Oracle Fusion Middleware products in an IP6v6 network. For more information, see "Using IPv6" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

6 System Requirements for UNIX Operating Systems

This section contains system requirement information for UNIX operating systems.

In some cases, a particular platform may be de-supported for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware products. While this particular platform's requirements may remain in this document for legacy purposes, it would no longer be listed in the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document and would no longer be considered a "certified" platform.

The System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document is located on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page, as described in Section 2, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".

All packages listed are minimum versions.

The following topics are covered in this section:

6.1 General UNIX Operating System Requirements

This section contains the following topics:

6.1.1 Setting the Open File Limit

On all UNIX and Linux operating systems, verify the values that are currently set for Open File Limit. The minimum Open File Limit should be at 4096, but you should also consider the number of processes required for each host.

The following examples are for Linux operating systems. Equivalent commands should be followed for other UNIX operating systems.

To verify how many files are open, use the following command:

/usr/sbin/lsof | wc -l

To check your open file limits, use the following comands:

  • For C-shell:

    limit descriptors
    
  • For Bash:

    ulimit -n
    

To change the open file limits:

  1. Log in as the root user.

  2. Locate and open the following operating system configuration file:

    /etc/security/limits.conf
    
  3. Look for or modify the following lines in the limits.conf file:

    * soft  nofile  4096
    * hard  nofile  65536
    * soft  nproc   2047
    * hard  nproc   16384
    
  4. Save your changes and close the limits.conf file.

  5. If you are running Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 or Red Hat Linux 6, locate the following operating system configuration file:

    /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf
    
  6. Make sure the same values are added to the 90-nproc.conf file; otherwise, the values in the 90-nproc.conf file can override the values in the limits.conf file.

  7. Reboot the machine.

6.1.2 Enabling Unicode Support

Your operating system configuration can influence the behavior of characters supported by Oracle Fusion Middleware products.

On UNIX operating systems, Oracle highly recommends that you enable Unicode support by setting the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to a locale with the UTF-8 character set. This enables the operating system to process any character in Unicode. Oracle SOA Suite technologies, for example, are based on Unicode.

If the operating system is configured to use a non-UTF-8 encoding, Oracle SOA Suite components may function in an unexpected way. For example, a non-ASCII file name can make the file inaccessible and cause an error. Oracle does not support problems caused by operating system constraints.

In a design-time environment, if you are using Oracle JDeveloper, select Tools -> Preferences -> Environment -> Encoding -> UTF-8 to enable Unicode support.

6.1.3 Installing as a Non-Default User on UNIX Operating Systems

On UNIX operating systems, the installation of Fusion Middleware products is owned and controlled as a known user (for example, "oracle"). The file permissions associated with this installation are configured to ensure the highest level of security possible, which by default are 700 (meaning all files are owned and accessible by the owner only).

Changing the default permissions settings will reduce the security of the installation and possibly your system. Therefore, making such a change is not recommended. If access to particular files or executables is required by other users, the UNIX sudo command (or other similar command) should be considered in lieu of changing file permissions.

Refer to your UNIX operating system Administrator's Guide or contact your operating system vendor if you need further assistance.

6.1.4 Verifying Shared Storage Configurations on UNIX Operating Systems

If you are using shared storage for your installation media or for your Middeware home directory, be sure that you have configured your shared storage volumes correctly. Otherwise, you might run into errors when installing and configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware software.

For example, Most client machines and storage servers support access control lists (ACL) and extended file attributes. However, there may be a mismatch between how each device handles the extended attributes. This will often show up as warnings or errors when performing a &rsquor;cp –p' command. If this occurs, the best option is to disable ACL when the remote storage is being mounted. This can be done by adding the option noacl to the list of mount options in the mount command.

For more information, refer to your shared storage hardware and software documentation, or review the Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture white paper, Oracle WebLogic on Shared Storage: Best Practices.

6.2 Linux Operating System Requirements

Table 5 lists the platform, operating system, package, and patch information for Linux operating systems that are either currently supported or were supported in a previous release.

6.2.1 How to Obtain the Required Kernel Version for Linux Operating Systems

To identify the required Kernel version for each supported version of Oracle Linux, refer to the following resources:

For Oracle Linux 6 (UL5+) and Oracle Linux 7 (UL0+) Containers, refer to Table 1 on "Supported Virtualization and Partitioning Technologies for Oracle Fusion Middleware" on the Oracle Technology Network.

6.2.2 Obtaining the openmotif22 Package on SUSE 10 and SUSE 11 Operating Systems

The openmotif22 package is not included by default on SUSE 10 and SUSE 11 operating systems. If you need to obtain this package, you must go to the Novell website to obtain the package and then perform the installation using the instructions provided by Novell.

6.2.3 Installing Oracle HTTP Server on Linux Operating Systems Requires NPTL

If you are installing Oracle HTTP Server on a Linux operating system, the operating system needs to set Native POSIX Threads Library (NPTL) as the default threads-implementation. To check for this, run the following command:

getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION

The expected results should be "NPTL 2.3.4". Failing to have NPTL can result in unexpected behavior for the Oracle HTTP Server, especially if the Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is the Worker MPM.

6.3 Solaris Operating System Requirements

Table 6 lists the platform, operating system, package, and patch information for Solaris operating systems that are either currently supported or were supported in a previous release.


Note:

The SRU 11.3.3.6.0 or later (mandatory patch) is required for the Solaris 11 Update 3 on SPARC or x86-64.

After these packages are installed, you must also set the following environment variables:

  • On Solaris x86-64 operating systems, set the NLS_LANG environment variable to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15, or set the DISPLAY variable to any 64-Bit Linux machine.

  • On Solaris SPARC64 operating systems:

    1. Set LC_ALL=C.

    2. Set the NLS_LANG environment variable to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15, or set the DISPLAY variable to any 64-Bit Linux machine.

6.3.2 Applying Solaris Patches in Non-Global Zones

On Solaris operating systems, the prerequisite patches that are applied in the global zone can be considered applied in the non-global zones. There is only one kernel running on the system, and all zones must be at the same patch level with respect to the kernel and other Solaris system components. Kernel patches can only be applied from the global zone, and they affect the global and all non-global zones equally.

To check if a kernel patch is applied in the global zone, use the following command:

showrev -p | grep patch_number

For example, to check if patch 137111-04 is applied:

showrev -p | grep 137111

6.5.1 Patches Required Before Installing Fusion Middleware Products on IBM AIX 7.2

Install the patch mentioned below before you install the fusion middleware products.

Apply patch 22757185 to handle this problem.

Use the following procedure to use the patch:

    1. Download patch 22757185 from My Oracle Support.

    2. Unzip the patch archive, using the following command:

      unzip -d PATCH_DIR p22757185_11.1.1.9.0_generic.zip
      

      In this example, replace PATCH_DIR with the name of a local directory. This is typically a top-level directory used for storing patches you have downloaded from My Oracle Support.

    3. Change directory to the following directory where you unpacked the software archive:

      cd unpacked_FMW_directory/Disk1
      
    4. Locate and run the installer (runInstaller), as follows:

      ./runInstaller PREREQ_CONFIG_LOCATION=PATCH_DIR/prereq
      

      In this example, replace PATCH_DIR with the path to the local directory where you unzipped patch 22757185 in Step 3.

7 System Requirements for Windows Operating Systems

This section contains the following information regarding Microsoft Windows operating systems:

7.1 Certified Windows Operating Systems

Refer to the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document for the latest information on certified Windows operating systems. This document is available in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page, as described in Section 2, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".

7.2 Disabling Anti-Virus Software

If you encounter issues related to anti-virus software during your Fusion Middleware product installation, disable your anti-virus software for the entire duration of the installation. If the system is restarted before the installation is complete, ensure the anti-virus software was not restarted before continuing with the installation.

Anti-virus software can be re-enabled when the installation is complete.

7.3 Enabling User Account Control (UAC)

On Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7 operating systems, you must enable User Account Control (UAC) so that the correct permissions are applied to the cwallet.sso file.

To enable UAC:

  1. Run secpol.msc from the command prompt.

  2. Select Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.

  3. Set the User Account Control:Run all Administrator in Admin Approval Mode option to enabled.

  4. Restart the host.

  5. Restart the servers.

7.4 Understanding the Required Installation Privileges for Oracle Identity Management and Oracle Forms and Reports

In order to install Oracle Identity Management, Oracle Forms and Reports, or use the Oracle Forms and Reports Builders after installation on a Microsoft Windows Vista or newer operating system, the operating system user must have Windows "Administrator" privileges.

Even when a user with "Administrator" privileges logs in to the machine, the administrative role is not granted for default tasks. In order to access the Oracle home files and folders, the user must launch the command prompt or Windows Explorer as "Administrator" explicitly, even if the user is logged in as the administrator.

To do so, you can do either one of the following:

  • Find the Command Prompt icon (for example, from the Start menu or from the Desktop), right-click on the icon, and select Run as Administrator. Then you can run the executables (for example, the WebLogic Server installer) from the command line.

  • Start Windows Explorer, find the executable you want to run (for example, rcu.bat for RCU, config.bat for the Configuration Wizard, or setup.exe for the installer), right-click on the executable, and select Run as Administrator.

7.5 Installing and Configuring Java Access Bridge

If you are installing on a Windows machine, you have the option of installing and configuring Java Access Bridge for Section 508 Accessibility. This is only necessary if you require Section 508 Accessibility features.

Installation instructions are available in the Oracle Java Access Bridge Installation and Application Developer's Guide.

7.6 Verifying Library Files on Windows for Oracle HTTP Server

If you are installing Oracle HTTP Server on your certified Windows operating system, you should verify that the msvcr90.dll and linkinfo.dll library files exist on your system; these are required by Oracle HTTP Server.

For more information, see also "Missing Libraries Might Cause HTTPD to Exit Without Notice" in Oracle HTTP Server Release Notes.

If you are unable to the required libraries on your system, contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

7.7 Installing Microsoft Visual C++ on Windows for System Components

This includes:

  • Oracle HTTP Server

  • WebCenter Content

  • Forms and Reports

  • OBIEE

On the Windows platform, these components require the Microsoft Visual C++ run-time libraries to be installed on the system.

If these libraries are not installed on your Windows operating system, then you will receive an error during the prerequisite check phase of these components.

To meet this system requirement, download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 software (indicated as version 11.0 in the Windows control panel and Oracle Universal Installer pre-requisite check screen). You can download this software from the following URL:

https://support.oracle.com/


Note:

The OBIEE installs the required version automatically. For any future reference or maintenance, check the result in the Windows control panel.

8 System Requirements for the Oracle Universal Installer

This section contains prerequisite information for the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). The requirements in this section must be met in order for the installer to start:

8.1 Environment Variables

The environment variables on your system must be set as described in Table 9:

Table 9 Oracle Universal Installer Environment Variable Requirements

Variable Description

ORACLE_HOME

Applies to: all configuration tools for all products on all platforms.

This variable is automatically set by the configuration tool to the Oracle home from where the configuration tool is started. This is true even if the ORACLE_HOME variable is already set.

ORACLE_SID

Applies to: all installers for all products on all platforms.

For the Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer installer, this variable must not be set.

For all other installers, there are no restrictions as to whether this variable is set or not set.

PATH

Applies to: all installers for products with system components only on all platforms.

If you are installing on a Windows operating system, see "Resolving PATH and Directory Issues on Windows" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) or Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes for Microsoft Windows x64 for important additional information.

This variable is automatically set by the installer and prepended with ORACLE_HOME\bin. In addition, you must have the appropriate version of the JDK installed on your system, and include the bin directory of the JDK at the beginning of the PATH variable definition. Make sure this variable does not contain a reference to any other Oracle home directory.

NOTE: If your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are running in a 64-bit JVM environment, you must have the appropriate version of the JDK installed on your system, and include the bin directory of the JDK at the beginning of the PATH variable definition.

SHLIB_PATH

Applies to: all installers for products with system components only on HP-UX and HP-IA operating systems.

This variable is automatically set by the installer and prepended with ORACLE_HOME/lib.

LIBPATH

  • The generic installers (for example, Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle WebCenter Portal, Oracle Application Developer) require 150MB.

  • Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), while it is a generic installer, requires 500MB.

  • The platform-specific installers (for example, Oracle Web Tier, Oracle Identity Management, Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer, Oracle Business Intelligence) require 400MB.

Swap Space

At least 500MB

Monitor

At least 256 colors (this is a requirement for the graphical user interface mode only)


8.3 Running the 32-Bit Installer on a 64-Bit Operating System

This section contains important information for those products that support installing the 32-bit version on a 64-bit operating system:

8.3.1 Starting the 32-Bit Oracle Web Tier Installer on a 64-Bit Linux Operating System

If you are installing the 32-bit version of Oracle Web Tier on a 64-bit Linux operating system, you must perform the steps described below to replace your original /usr/bin/gcc file with a new GCC file (called gcc41) that makes use of the existing 32-bit library files on your system. It is not necessary to install a new 32-bit GCC on your system.


Note:

Installing the 32-bit version of Oracle Web Tier on a 64-bit Linux operating system is only supported on certain Linux operating systems; refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Certifications document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page for details.

Installing a 32-bit version of Oracle Web Tier on a 64-bit Windows operating system is not supported.


  1. Verify that you are installing your 32-bit Web Tier on a certified 64-bit Linux system.

  2. Log in to the system as root, and do the following:

    1. Move the existing /usr/bin/gcc file to /usr/bin/gcc.orig with the mv command:

      mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.orig
      
    2. Using a text editor such as vi, create a new file called gcc41 that contains the following content (the line beginning with exec must be a single line):

      #!/bin/sh
      exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig -m32 -static-libgcc -B /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/32/ $*
      

      Note:

      The directory usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/32/ may differ slightly depending on the version of your Linux operating system. Search for the corresponding 32-bit directory under /usr/lib/gcc on your Linux operating system and use that directory in the gcc41 file.

    3. Change the file permission for the gcc41 file using the following command:

      chmod 755 /usr/bin/gcc41
      
    4. Create a symbolic link to /usr/bin/gcc with the following command:

      ln -s -f /usr/bin/gcc41 /usr/bin/gcc
      
    5. Exit as the root user.

  3. Run the following command before starting the installer:

    linux32 bash
    
  4. Obtain your 32-bit Oracle Web Tier installer.

    For information on where to obtain product installers, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration Readme Files page:

    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23104_01/download_readme.htm
    
  5. Install Oracle Web Tier as described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Web Tier.

    During the installation on the Configure Components screen, make sure you do not select Oracle Web Cache and associate it with a WebLogic domain; this is not supported for 32-bit Web Tier on a 64-bit system.

  6. When the installation and configuration are complete, revert the gcc file back to its original state and remove the symbolic link.

Note that this procedure must be repeated anytime you are doing a 32-bit Web Tier installation on a 64-bit system, including the installation of a patch set.

8.3.2 Starting the Generic Installer with a 32-Bit JDK on a 64-Bit Operating System

If you are installing Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle WebCenter Portal, Oracle WebCenter Content, Oracle Application Developer, Oracle Service Bus, or Oracle Identity and Access Management on any supported 64-bit operating system with a 32-bit JDK, you must specify the JRE_LOCATION using the -jreLoc parameter from the command line when you start the product installer. For example:

./runInstaller -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION

Normally, if you do not use the -jreLoc parameter you will be prompted to specify the JRE_LOCATION from the command line. However, this option is not supported in such cases, and the installer will not start.

8.4 Special Startup Requirements for Linux x86 or Linux x86-64 Operating Systems

If you are running Oracle Universal Installer on Linux x86 or Linux x86-64 operating systems, you must modify the value of the SHMMAX kernel parameter to avoid seeing errors generated by the Oracle Universal Installer. To do so:

  1. Change the value of SHMMAX to 4294967295 by including the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf:

    kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
    
  2. Activate the new SHMMAX setting by running the command:

    /sbin/sysctl -p
    
  3. Start the Oracle Universal Installer and install your software.

8.5 Installing on Operating Systems Not Certified at the Time of Product Release

In some cases, an operating system will become certified for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware products after a particular release has been made available. If you try to install your Oracle Fusion Middleware product on one of these newly-certified operating systems, the product installer will give you a warning message during startup, indicating that the operating system on which you are installing is not valid. For example:

Warning:
Checking operating system certification
Expected result: One of
enterprise-5.4,enterprise-4,enterprise-5,redhat-5.4,redhat-4,redhat-5,SuSE-10
Actual Result:SuSE-11
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed
Problem: This Oracle software is not certified on the current operating system.

To work around this issue, you can click the Continue button to ignore this warning message, or you can start the installer with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option. For example:

./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

Note:

The -ignoreSysPrereqs option should be used only if ALL of the following conditions are met:

9 Database Requirements and Specifications

This section contains important information about database configuration for Fusion Middleware and RCU.

The following topics are covered:

9.1 Finding a Certified Database

Refer to the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page for the latest information on certified databases.

See the Current System Certification tab for Oracle databases, or the Non Oracle DBs Certification tab for third-party databases.

9.2 Preparing Oracle Database for use with Oracle Identity Management Products

This section contains the following:

9.2.1 Using Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.7) with Oracle Identity Manager

If you are using Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.7) with Oracle Identity Manager 11g, there are certain database patches that must be applied.

See "Patch Requirements for Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.7)" in the "Oracle Identity Manager" chapter of the Release Notes for Linux x86 or Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes General Information. Patches for all operating systems (Linux, 32-bit Windows and 64-bit Windows) are identified.

9.2.2 Using Oracle Database 11g (11.2.0.1) with OID and Oracle Data Vault

If you are using Oracle Database 11g (11.2.0.1) and you choose to configure Oracle Internet Directory (OID) with Oracle Data Vault:

  1. Apply patch 8897382 (see the README file in the patch for instructions).

  2. In the ORACLE_HOME/ldap/datasecurity/dbv_oid_command_rules.sql (on UNIX operating systems) or ORACLE_HOME\ldap\datasecurity\dbv_oid_command_rules.sql (on Windows operating systems) file, find the following code:

    /declare
    .
    begin
    .
       dvsys.dbms_macadm.CREATE_COMMAND_RULE(
       command => 'CONNECT'
       ,rule_set_name => 'OID App Access'
       ,object_owner => 'ODS'
       ,object_name => '%'
       ,enabled => 'Y');
    .
    commit;
    .
    end;/
    

    Change the following line:

    ,object_owner => 'ODS'
    

    to:

    ,object_owner => '%'
    

9.3 Notes for Databases and the MDS Schema

The Oracle Metadata Services (MDS) Repository contains metadata for certain types of deployed applications. This includes custom Java EE applications developed by your organization and some Oracle Fusion Middleware component applications, such as Oracle B2B.

The MDS Repository supports Oracle databases, as well as non-Oracle databases, including SQL Server, DB2, and MySQL. For more information about the supported versions of these databases, see the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page, as described in Section 2, "Using This Document with the Certification Matrix and Product Installation Guide".

This section contains the following:

9.3.1 Notes for Using an Oracle Database for the MDS Schema

Note that when you use an Oracle Database, the MDS database user created by Repository Creation Utility (RCU) requires EXECUTE privilege on DBMS_OUTPUT and DBMS_LOB. When you create a metadata repository using RCU, if PUBLIC does not have EXECUTE privilege on DBMS_OUTPUT and DBMS_LOB, the RCU user must have the privilege to grant EXECUTE privilege on DBMS_OUTPUT and DBMS_LOB to the MDS user.

To ensure that you have the correct privileges, login to RCU as a SYSDBA or as a DBA user who has EXECUTE privilege with GRANT OPTION on DBMS_OUTPUT and DBMS_LOB.

9.3.2 Notes for Using a Microsoft SQL Server Database for the MDS Schema

Note the following about using SQL Server as the database for MDS:

  • To create a metadata repository in SQL Server, set READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT to ON for the hosting database. This enables the needed row versioning support. This feature can be enabled using the SQL command ALTER DATABASE, as in the following example:

    ALTER DATABASE mds SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON
    
  • You should use case-sensitive collation to support the case-sensitive semantics in the metadata repository. For example, if Latin1_General is used, select the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS collation using the following SQL command:

    ALTER DATABASE mds COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS
    

    In the example, the substring CS denotes case sensitivity. In you ned to configure your database for case-insensitive collation, use the CI substring.

  • There are some minor differences between an Oracle schema and a SQL Server schema. The length of the certain text fields are shorter for a SQL Server schema. For example, the full path name of the metadata in SQL Server is limited to 400 characters.

9.3.3 Notes for Using an IBM DB2 Database for the MDS Schema

Note the following about using DB2 as the database for MDS:

  • DB2 9.7 or later must be used for MDS repository to work properly.

    Make sure that CUR_COMMIT is set to "ON", which is the default value for a newly installed DB2 9.7 database. This setting can be verified using following DB2 command:

    db2 connect to your_database user admin_user
    db2 "get db cfg" | grep -I commit
    Curently Committed   (CUR_COMMIT) = ON
    
  • Set the lock timeout parameter of the database to a low value. Unlike Oracle databases, with DB2, if one user is updating a row, under some conditions, another user may be blocked when updating a different row and must wait until the transaction is committed or rolled back by the first user. To facilitate better concurrency, do not specify -1, which sets the lock timeout to infinity.

    To query the lock timeout value for your DB2 database, use the following command:

    db2 'get database config for database_alias' | grep -i timeout
    

    If the value is too high, change it. For example, to change the lock timeout value to 180 seconds, use the following command:

    db2 'update database config for database_alias using locktimeout 180'
    

    Choose a proper value for the locktimeout parameter. If a large value is used, it will affect system throughput, since the transaction has to wait a very long time before giving up. If the value is set too small, users will see many timeout exceptions if the database is processing many long running transactions.

  • Set the DB2 registry variables DB2_EVALUNCOMMITTED, DB2_SKIPINSERTED, and DB2_SJIPDELETED to OFF to avoid deadlock and locking issues. By default, they are set to OFF. To view the current registry variables setting, use the db2set -all command.

    If they are not set to OFF, use the following commands:

    db2set DB2_EVALUNCOMMITTED=OFF
    db2set DB2_SKIPINSERTED=OFF
    db2set DB2_SKIPDELETED=OFF
    

    Restart the database server using the using db2stop and db2start commands.

  • DB2 may escalate a row lock to a table lock due to memory stress or lock usage. As the result, a user's transaction may be rolled back as a victim of deadlock or lock timeout. To reduce lock escalation, you can increase the size of the MAXLOCKS and LOCKLIST configuration parameters. Use the following commands:

    db2 'update database config for database_alias using locklist value'
    db2 'update database config for database_alias using maxlocks value'
    

    For 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.8.0) and later, the MAXLOCKS value should be set to 20, and the LOCKLIST value should be set to 70000.

  • The isolation level must be set to Currently Committed. To verify the setting, use the following command:

    db2 'get database config for database_alias' | grep -i commit
    

    To set the isolation level to Currently Committed, use the following command:

    db2 'update database config for database_alias using CUR_COMMIT ON'
    
  • If the database transaction log is often full, increase the database configuration parameter to allow for a larger log file. A larger log file requires more space, but it reduces the need for applications to retry the operation. You should set the log file size to at least 10000 and the number of primary log files to at least 50. Use the following commands:

    db2 'update database config for database_alias using LOGFILSIZ 10000'
    db2 'update database config for database_alias using LOGPRIMARY 50'
    
  • If an MDS DB2 data source is created under an IBM WebSphere application server and the IBM DB2 JCC driver is chosen for the data source, the progressiveStreaming=2 property must be added to the property list of the data source. In effect, progressive streaming will be disabled. Without this property setting, MDS may run into issues in accessing document contents saved in a large object (LOB) column in the MDS repository.

9.3.4 Notes for Using a MySQL Database for the MDS Schema

Note the following about using MySQL as the database for MDS:

  • MySQL 5.5.14 or later must be used for the MDS repository to work properly.

  • You must select MySQL's Innodb engine as the database engine during database installation.

  • Set the lock timeout parameter of the database to a low value. To query the lock timeout value for your MySQL database, use the following command under the MySQL client:

    show variables like 'innodb_lock_wait_timeout';
    

    If the value is too high, change it. For example, to change the lock timeout value to 600 seconds at database level, use the following command:

    set global innodb_lock_wait_timeout=600
    

    The database will not remember this setting after it is rebooted. To keep the setting, make the corresponding changes in the my.cnf file.

    Choose a proper value for the innodb_lock_wait_timeout parameter. If a large value is used, it will affect system throughput, since the transaction has to wait a very long time before giving up. If the value is set too small, users will see many timeout exceptions if database is processing many long running transactions.

  • MySQL provides several my.cnf templates under the mysql_home/support-files directory. To configure MySQL to work property with MDS, use my-large.cnf as the starting point for your my.cnf and make the following setting changes:

    # The following stack memories must be set to a large enough value:
    thread_stack=1024k
    # Increase max_allowed_packet to allow for longer lobs.
    max_allowed_packet = 64M
    # max_sp_recursion_depth should be 64
    max_sp_recursion_depth=64
     
    # Set the sql_mode to STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, so MySQL will report an error if a
    # string value is too long for the table field.  By default, MySQL will
    silently truncate a string value.
    #  Also set NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES so strings like '\' will be accepted.
    sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES
     
    # Set collation and character set for the server. 
    character-set-server=utf8mb4
    collation-server=utf8mb4_bin
     
    # Transaction isloatoin has to be "READ-COMMITED".
    transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED
    
    # Uncomment the following settings for InnoDB tables
    innodb_data_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data
    innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
    innodb_log_group_home_dir = /usr/local/mysql/data
    # You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 %
    # of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high
    innodb_buffer_pool_size = 256M
    innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 20M
    # Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size
    innodb_log_file_size = 64M
    innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
    innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
    innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50

  • Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.5 and earlier versions do not have MySQL JDBC driver configured. Use a later version of Oracle WebLogic Server if you want to choose a MySQL database as a data source.

  • Tips for starting MySQL Server using mysqld_safe: It is suggested to use the "--defaults-file=your_my.cnf" parameter when you start mysqld_safe, which will ensure a desired copy of my.cnf is used by your mySQL server. The "--defaults-file" parameter has to be the first parameter of your mysqld_safe command. For example:

    ./mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --user=mysql &
    

    Be sure to set the access privileges of your my.cnf file to "-rw-r--r--". MySQL will ignore your my.cnf if other users have "write" access.

10 Repository Creation Utility (RCU) Requirements

This section contains the following:

10.1 RCU Supported Platforms and Versions

This section contains the following:

10.1.1 RCU Supported Platforms

RCU is available on any 32-bit x86 Linux and 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system used with Oracle Fusion Middleware. You can run RCU from these machines to connect to any certified local or remote Oracle, IBM DB2, MySQL, or Microsoft SQL Server database in order to create the schemas required by Fusion Middleware components. The database can be running on any operating system platform that is supported by that particular database.

Beginning with 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.4.0) and later, RCU can also be run on any 64-bit x86 Linux and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system used with Oracle Fusion Middleware. On 64-bit Linux operating systems, you must run the following command before starting RCU:

set linux32 bash

To view the system requirements for certified 32-bit and 64-bit Linux operating systems, see Section 6.2, "Linux Operating System Requirements". RCU can be run on your Linux operating system as long as these system requirements are met.

To view the system requirements for certified 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems, see Section 7, "System Requirements for Windows Operating Systems". RCU can be run on your Windows operating system as long as these system requirements are met.

10.1.2 Using the Correct RCU Version

Make sure that the RCU version number matches the version number of the Oracle Fusion Middleware product you are installing and using. You may encounter problems if your RCU version number does not match your product version number.

For more information, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration Readme Files, which contain the correct RCU version to download for each Oracle Fusion Middleware release.

10.2 RCU Privileges for System Packages

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, RCU expects system packages to be configured with the default privileges granted by the Database Configuration Assistant. Modifying System packages to introduce more restrictive privileges may cause RCU to fail for some Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g components.

10.3 RCU Requirements for Oracle Databases

This section contains information pertaining to running RCU and creating schemas on Oracle databases. The following topics are covered:

10.3.1 General Oracle Database Requirements

RCU checks for the following on Oracle databases:

  • Database version is equal to or higher than 10.2.0.4.0 in 10g or equal to or higher than 11.1.0.7.0 in 11g.

  • Database is installed with Oracle JVM enabled. Refer to your database documentation for information about how to do this.

  • Database user has SYSDBA role.

    If you are creating schemas on an Oracle database, you must have SYSDBA privileges. For example, you can use the default database user SYS with SYSDBA privileges, or you must use a database user that has been granted the role of SYSDBA.

    If you using a user other than SYS with SYSDBA privileges, you must grant the user permissions as follows:

    GRANT execute on sys.dbms_lock to user_name with grant option
    

    For example, if you have created and are using the user named system, you would use the following command to grant the necessary privileges to system:

    GRANT execute on sys.dbms_lock to system with grant option
    

    Refer to your Oracle database documentation for more information about database users and roles.

  • Character set is AL32UTF8.

    If your database does not use the AL32UTF8 character set, you will see the following warning when running RCU:

    The database you are connecting is with non-AL32UTF8 character set. Oraclestrongly recommends using AL32UTF8 as the database character set.
    

    You can ignore this warning and continue using RCU.


    Note:

    If you are installing Oracle WebCenter Portal or Oracle WebCenter Content, it is strongly recommended that you configure your database to use AL32UTF8 character set encoding. If your database is not already configured to do so, refer to your database documentation for instructions. If you are installing a new database, you should configure your database to use AL32UTF8 character set encoding.

  • The SHARED_POOL_SIZE is greater than or equal to 147456KB.

  • The SGA_MAX_SIZE is greater than or equal to 147456KB.

  • The DB_BLOCK_SIZE is greater than or equal to 8KB

10.3.2 DBMS_SHARED_POOL and XAVIEWS Must be Created on Oracle Databases for Oracle Identity Management

The following packages must be installed as SYS user on Oracle databases prior to creating Oracle Identity Management schemas:

  • DBMS_SHARED_POOL

  • XAVIEWS

For more information, see the following:

10.3.3 Setting the parallel_max_servers Parameter for the ODS Schema

For the Oracle Internet Directory (ODS) schema, set parallel_max_servers=1. This setting should be used for 11gR2 Oracle RAC systems with more than 32 CPUs.

After Oracle Internet Directory is up and running, you should set the parallel_max_servers parameter to a higher value. For more information, see "PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS" in the Oracle Database VLDB and Partitioning Guide.

10.3.4 Setting the nls_length_semantics Parameter in your Oracle Database for Oracle Discoverer

Oracle Discoverer only supports schemas in a byte-mode database. The nls_length_semantics initialization parameter on the database where the schemas reside must be set to BYTE; setting this parameter to CHAR is not supported.

To check the values of this parameter using SQL*Plus, you can use the show parameters command:

prompt> sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba"
SQL> show parameters nls_length_semantics

Replace password with the actual password for the SYS user.

Alternatively, you can check the values by querying the V$PARAMETER view:

prompt> sqlplus "sys/password as sysdba"
SQL> select name,value from v$parameter;

10.3.5 Applying Oracle Database Patch 8625762 for Oracle Business Process Management Suite

If you are installing Oracle Business Process Management Suite (part of Oracle SOA Suite) and you are using an Oracle database, you must apply patch 8625762 to avoid error ORA-03137 and OutOfMemory exception.

You can obtain the patch by specifying the patch ID in My Oracle Support (formerly MetaLink):

  1. Access and log into My Oracle Support at the following location:

    http://support.oracle.com/
    
  2. Click the Patches & Updates link.

  3. Enter the Patch ID or Number, then click Search. A Patch Search Results table appears.

  4. Using the Release and Platform columns, find the desired patch, then click the associated Patch ID.

  5. In the page that now appears, click the Download button in the right-hand column.

10.3.6 Installing Oracle Text for Oracle Portal

Oracle Text must be installed on your Oracle Database in order for the Oracle Portal schema to be configured. To check if Oracle Text is available on your database, use the following SQL command:

select count(*) from dba_views where owner='CTXSYS' and view_name='CTX_VERSION';

The count should be greater than 0. Refer to your Oracle Database documentation for more information about Oracle Text.

10.3.7 Applying Patch 16266667 for Oracle Portal

Oracle Portal creation requires patch 16266667.

You can obtain the patch by specifying the patch ID in My Oracle Support (formerly MetaLink):

  1. Access and log into My Oracle Support at the following location:

    http://support.oracle.com/
    
  2. Click the Patches & Updates link.

  3. Enter the Patch ID or Number, then click Search. A Patch Search Results table appears.

  4. Using the Release and Platform columns, find the desired patch, then click the associated Patch ID.

  5. In the page that now appears, click the Download button in the right-hand column.

10.3.8 Component-Specific Requirements for Oracle Databases

Table 11 lists all of the supported schemas for Oracle databases, along with any component-specific prerequisite information that must be met for RCU to be able to create the schema. Refer to the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide to find instructions on how to modify database parameters.

When the tablespaces are created, RCU will automatically create them with the necessary tablespace sizes.

The "Oracle EBR?" column indicates whether or not the schema is also supported on Oracle Databases with Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR).

All requirements listed are the minimum requirements; please read them carefully as some components within the same product have different requirements. For example, if you are performing a full Oracle Identity Management installation including Oracle Identity Manager, then the open_cursors parameter must be set to 800. However, if you are installing Oracle Identity Management without Oracle Identity Manager, then open_cursors can be set to 500, which is required for Oracle Internet Directory.

RCU checks for the following on Microsoft SQL Server databases:

  • Database version is equal to or higher than 2005.

  • Database user (db_owner) should have SYSDBA or DBA privileges.

10.4.2 Creating Oracle WebCenter Portal Schemas on Microsoft SQL Server Databases

If you are creating the schemas in a Microsoft SQL Server database, a database instance must be created prior to running RCU. The MDS schema has some specific requirements; see Section 9.3.2, "Notes for Using a Microsoft SQL Server Database for the MDS Schema" for more information.

10.4.3 Component-Specific Requirements for Microsoft SQL Server Databases

Table 12 lists all of the supported schemas for Microsoft SQL Server databases, along with any component-specific prerequisite information that must be met for RCU to be able to create schema.

10.5 RCU Requirements for IBM DB2 Databases

This section contains information you need to know about configuring IBM DB2 databases for schema creation. The following topics are covered:

10.5.1 Creating Database Operating System Users

IBM DB2 authenticates its database users using equivalent operating system users. Therefore, prior to running RCU, one operating system user must be created for each schema. The operating system user name must match the schema owner name and must contain only lowercase letters; no all-uppercase or mixed-case names are allowed. For example:

  • If you create a schema named DEV_SOA on an IBM DB2 database running on a Linux operating system, then you must also create the operating system user dev_soa (matching name, all lowercase letters).

  • If you create a schema named DEV_SOAINFRA on an IBM DB2 database running on a Windows operating system, then you must also create the operating system user dev_soainfra (matching name, all lowercase letters).

10.5.2 Size Limit for Schema Prefixes (Linux Only)

IBM DB2 has an eight character limit for schema names. Therefore, the schema names are shortened to a maximum of three characters (plus schema prefix and underscore), making the maximum size of the user defined prefix four characters.

For example, on IBM DB2 databases running on a Windows operating system, and all supported Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases, the SOA Infrastructure schema you create might be called DEV_SOAINFRA. However, on an IBM DB2 database running on a Linux operating system, this schema name must be shortened to DEV_SOA.

10.5.3 Configuring Your DB2 Database

For important information about configuring your IBM DB2 database, refer to Section 9.3.3, "Notes for Using an IBM DB2 Database for the MDS Schema".

10.5.4 RCU Supported Schemas for IBM DB2 Databases

Not all of the schemas that are supported in Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases are supported on IBM DB2 databases. Table 13 shows the schemas that are supported in IBM DB2 databases.


Note:

Table 13 lists the schema names for an IBM DB2 database running on a Linux operating system, due to a restriction on the number of characters (including the prefix) in the schema name. For more information, see Section 10.5.2, "Size Limit for Schema Prefixes (Linux Only)".

If you are creating schemas in an IBM DB2 database running on a Windows operating system, the schema names are the same as the ones for a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database.

See Section 10.5.1, "Creating Database Operating System Users" for important information about creating the operating system users.


When the tablespaces are created, RCU will automatically create them with the necessary tablespace sizes.
