2.2 System Requirements

Table 2–2

lists the system requirements for running Oracle Application Server. The

installer checks many of these requirements at the start of the installation process and
warns you if any of them is not met. To save time, you can manually check only the
ones that are not checked by the installer. Refer to

Table 2–2

to see which requirements

are not checked by the installer.

You can also run the system checks performed by the installer without doing an
installation, by running the runInstaller command as shown. The runInstaller
command is on the Oracle Application Server CD-ROM (Disk 1) or DVD-ROM (in the
application_server

directory).

CD-ROM:

prompt> mount_point/1014disk1/runInstaller -executeSysPrereqs

DVD-ROM:

prompt> mount_point/application_server/runInstaller -executeSysPrereqs

The results are displayed on the screen as well as written to a log file. For more
information on the types of checks performed, see

Section 2.11, "Prerequisite Checks

Performed by the Installer"

.
