Order of Installation for the Infrastructure
Installing OracleAS Infrastructure 4-3
4.3 Order of Installation for the Infrastructure
If you plan to install both OracleAS Metadata Repository and Oracle Identity
Management components on the same computer, select the "Oracle Identity
Management and OracleAS Metadata Repository" option. The installer installs the
components in the proper order. See
Section 4.20, "Installing OracleAS Infrastructure"
for the step-by-step procedure.
If you plan to install the infrastructure components on separate computers, install
them in this order:
1. Install the OracleAS Metadata Repository.
You can have the installer create a new database and populate it with the OracleAS
Metadata Repository, or you can run the Oracle Application Server Repository
Creation Assistant to install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in an existing
database.
Note that you cannot register the OracleAS Metadata Repository with Oracle
Internet Directory at this point, because you do not have an Oracle Internet
Directory yet. The registration is done in the next step.
See:
■
Section 4.22, "Installing OracleAS Metadata Repository in a New Database"
■
For information on how to install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in an
existing database, see the Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation
Assistant User’s Guide.
2. Install the Oracle Identity Management components.
The installer prompts you to enter the connect information for the OracleAS
Metadata Repository database.
See Section 4.23, "Installing Oracle Identity Management Components Only
(Including Oracle Internet Directory)" for the step-by-step procedure.
The installer registers the OracleAS Metadata Repository with the newly created
Oracle Internet Directory. See
Section 4.10, "Registration of OracleAS Metadata
Repository in Oracle Internet Directory and Password Randomization" for details
about registration.
Installing Only the OracleAS Metadata Repository Does Not Give You an Oracle
Application Server Instance
If you install only the OracleAS Metadata Repository when installing the
infrastructure, the installer creates a new database and populates it with the OracleAS
Metadata Repository schemas. This instance is different from other Oracle Application
Server instances in the following ways:
■
The installer does not prompt you to name this Oracle Application Server instance.
■
At the end of installation, Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server
Control is not started up, because it is not configured for this instance. You do not
need it to manage this instance, which consists of only the metadata repository
database.
To manage this instance, you use database management tools. For more
information, see the chapter "Introduction to Administration Tools" in the Oracle
Application Server Administrator’s Guide.
■
At the end of installation, Oracle HTTP Server is also not started up, because you
do not need it to manage this instance.
