4.4 Can I Install Components on Separate Computers?
You already know that you can install Oracle Application Server instances on separate
computers. In addition, you can also distribute components over multiple computers.
This is especially useful for infrastructure components. You might want to do this to
improve performance, security, scalability, and availability of infrastructure services.
Examples:
■
The OracleAS Infrastructure uses an Oracle database to contain the OracleAS
Metadata Repository. You can install this database on its own computer.
■
You can install the Oracle Identity Management components in the infrastructure
on one or more computers.
Table 4–3 shows some possible OracleAS Infrastructure configurations:
Table 4–3 OracleAS Infrastructure Configurations
Configuration Description / How to Install
In this configuration, the OracleAS Metadata Repository and the
Oracle Identity Management components run from the same
Oracle home.
To install this configuration, install the OracleAS Metadata
Repository and the Oracle Identity Management components at
the same time. For installation steps, see
Section 4.20, "Installing
OracleAS Infrastructure" .
In this configuration, the OracleAS Metadata Repository and the
Oracle Identity Management components run on separate
computers.
To install this configuration:
1. Install the OracleAS Metadata Repository first. See
Section 4.22, "Installing OracleAS Metadata Repository in a
New Database"
.
Alternatively, you can install the OracleAS Metadata
Repository in an existing database. See the Oracle
Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant
User’s Guide for details.
2. Then install the Oracle Identity Management components.
See
Section 4.23, "Installing Oracle Identity Management
Components Only (Including Oracle Internet Directory)" .
