Obtaining Software from Oracle E-Delivery

Things You Should Know Before Starting the Installation

3-7

3.12 Connecting to Oracle Internet Directory Through SSL Connections

When you install OracleAS Infrastructure or middle tiers, you can specify that Oracle
Application Server components connect to Oracle Internet Directory only through SSL
connections. On screens where you specify the hostname and port for Oracle Internet
Directory, you can select the Use Only SSL Connections With This Oracle Internet
Directory

option.

Note that Oracle HTTP Server is not set up for SSL connections during installation. If
you need Oracle HTTP Server to use SSL, you can set it up after installation. See the
Oracle HTTP Server Administrator’s Guide for details.

3.13 Obtaining Software from Oracle E-Delivery

You can obtain Oracle products from Oracle E-Delivery at

http://edelivery.oracle.com/

. Oracle products are distributed as "E-Packs".

An E-Pack is an electronic version of the software that is also available to Oracle
Customers on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.

3.13.1 Finding and Downloading the Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1) E-Pack

Refer to the CD/Media Pack description or the list of products that you purchased on
your Oracle Ordering Document. Then, view the License List to help you decide which
Product Pack you need to select in order to search for the appropriate E-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.

3.13.2 Finding Required and Optional Downloads

Refer to the README link that is on each E-Pack Download page. In addition to
listing the licensable products and options contained in the pack, the README lists
downloadable files that are required to run each product and which downloadable
files are optional. Oracle recommends that you print the README for reference.

3.13.3 Disk Space Requirements

In addition to having the required disk space necessary to install and run your Oracle
software, you'll need to have sufficient disk space to download all the required
software files and have enough disk space to extract them.

After extracting the software from the Zip files, you can burn them onto CD-ROM and
install from them, or install from your computer's hard drive.

3.13.4 Software Requirements for Unzipping Files

All Oracle E-Delivery files have been archived using Info-ZIP's highly portable Zip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
to extract the files.You must unzip the archive on the platform for which it was
intended. For example, if you download the file for the Solaris Operating System
(SPARC) version of Oracle Application Server, you must unzip the file on a Solaris
Operating System (SPARC) computer. If you unzip the file on a Windows computer,
and then move the stage area to a Solaris Operating System (SPARC) machine, the
stage area files will be corrupted because Windows will not preserve the case
sensitivity or the permission bits of UNIX file names.
