Oracle Application Server Installation Guide
When you install the infrastructure, the installer asks if you want to install the Oracle
Identity Management components, OracleAS Metadata Repository, or both. These are
the installation types for the OracleAS Infrastructure:
■
Oracle Identity Management and OracleAS Metadata Repository
■
Oracle Identity Management
■
OracleAS Metadata Repository
In addition to the components listed in
, when you install the OracleAS
Infrastructure, you also get the Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Containers for J2EE, and
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g components. These components are always installed
and configured, regardless of which installation type you selected.
See the next section,
Section 4.2, "Why Would I Select the Different Infrastructure
4.2 Why Would I Select the Different Infrastructure Installation Types?
By separating the infrastructure into Oracle Identity Management components and
OracleAS Metadata Repository, the installer enables you to install the OracleAS
Infrastructure components over multiple computers. For example, you can install the
OracleAS Metadata Repository on one computer, and the Oracle Identity Management
components on another computer. Within the Oracle Identity Management option, you
can install Oracle Identity Management components over multiple computers as well.
These options also enable you to create a new database or use an existing database for
the OracleAS Metadata Repository. Selecting either the "OracleAS Metadata
Repository" or the "OracleAS Metadata Repository and Oracle Identity Management"
option causes the installer to create a new database and populate it with the OracleAS
Metadata Repository.
To use an existing database, see
Section 4.8, "Can I Use an Existing Database for the
OracleAS Metadata Repository?"
