Oracle9iAS (9.0.2.0.1) Portal Installation On Tru64 5.1b
Oracle 9iAS Portal is a web-based development tool allowing rapid development of portal style web applications. In this article I'll briefly describe the installation of Oracle Infrastructure, a prerequisite, and Oracle Portal.

Download Software
Download Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK 1.3.1).
Download the Oracle installation files from Oracle Technology Network.
Unpack Files
First unzip the files.
gunzip tru64_iasv90201_Disk1.cpio.gz gunzip tru64_iasv90201_Disk2.cpio.gz gunzip tru64_iasv90201_Disk3.cpio.gz gunzip tru64_iasv90201_Disk4.cpio.gz
Next unpack the contents of the files.
cpio -idcmv < tru64_iasv90201_Disk1.cpio cpio -idcmv < tru64_iasv90201_Disk2.cpio cpio -idcmv < tru64_iasv90201_Disk3.cpio cpio -idcmv < tru64_iasv90201_Disk4.cpio
You should now have four directories (Disk1, Disk2, Disk3 and Disk4) containing installation files.
Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Set Kernel Parameters
The following table contains minimum kernel settings. If the current settings exceed these figures then do not alter them.
| Parameter | Minimum Setting |
|---|---|
| SHM_MAX | 4278190080 |
| SHM_MIN | 1 |
| SHM_MNI | 256 |
| SHM_SEG | 128 |
| MAX_PER_PROC_STACK_SIZE | 33554432 |
| PER_PROC_STACK_SIZE | 33554432 |
| PER_PROC_DATA_SIZE | 201326592 |
The current settings can be viewed using the following commands.
/sbin/sysconfig -q ipc /sbin/sysconfig -q proc
If any settings need to be altered they can be added to the end of the "/etc/sysconfigtab" file. The typical alterations are shown below.
ipc: shm_max = 4278190080 shm_mni = 256 shm_seg = 128 proc: per_proc_stack_size = 33554432 per_proc_data_size = 201326592
Once the file is altered the server must be rebooted to take on the new settings. This can be done using the following command.
shutdown -r now
Setup
Install the Java development kit.
tar -xvjf your_JDK_version -C /usr/opt/
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle passwd oracle
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir /u01/app mkdir /u01/app/oracle mkdir /u01/app/oracle/product mkdir /u01/app/oracle/product/infra mkdir /u01/app/oracle/product/portal chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01/app
Login as root and issue the following command.
xhost +<machine-name>
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the ".profile" file.
TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR # Oracle Infrastructure ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/infra; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=iasdb; export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin; export PATH PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/java131:/usr/opt/java131/bin; export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY stty erase ^H # ^H added using [Ctrl + V] [Backspace] ksh -o emacs set filec
Infrastructure Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the Disk1 directory.
./runInstaller
During the installation select the appropriate ORACLE_HOME for infrastructure (infra) and select the infrastructure installation.
Post Infrastructure Installation
On completion of the infrastructure installation perform the following tasks.
- Connect to the Enterprise Manager Website (http://<fully-qualified-machine-name>:1810) using the username "ias_admin" and the password you assigned during the installation. If EM is not available start it with the "emctl start" command.
- On the infrastructure application section click the "Restart All" option and accept any confirmation messages. Once the screen is redisplayed all services should be available. If any are not you cannot proceed until they are.
- Stop enterprise manager by issuing the "emctl stop" command.
Portal Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the Disk1 directory.
./runInstaller
During the installation select the appropriate ORACLE_HOME for portal (portal) and select the application server installation, with the portal and wireless option.
Post Portal Installation
On completion of the portal installation perform the following tasks.
- Start Enterprise Manager with the "emctl start" command. Connect to the Enterprise Manager Website (http://<fully-qualified-machine-name>:1810) using the username "ias_admin" and the password you assigned during the installation.
- On the portal application section click the "Restart All" option and accept any confirmation messages. Once the screen is redisplayed all services should be available.
Portal Usage
With all the services running you can start using portal at the following URL.
http://<fully-qualified-machine-name>:7778/pls/portal
The port number for portal can vary depending on the installation but it is recorded in the "portal-home/Apache/Apache/setupinfo.txt" file.
Once at this page you can login using either "portal", the portal DBA user, or "portal_admin", the portal administrator user. The passwords will be the value assigned during the installation.
Starting and Stopping Services
It is recommended that the services are always started and stopped using Enterprise Manager Website. If this cannot be done for some reason they can be started and stopped manually as follows.
# Start everything dbstart lsnrctl start agentctl start oidmon start oidctl server=oidldapd instance=1 configset=1 start dcmctl start -cl emctl start # Stop everything emctl stop dcmctl shutdown oidctl server=oidldapd instance=1 configset=1 stop oidmon stop agentctl stop lsnrctl stop dbshut
Once the services are started up they should be restarted using Enterprise Manager.
It should be noted that the Enterprise Manager Website does not function properly unless the X Session that started it is still present. This means every time you need to use the EM website you must start an X Session, export the DISPLAY variable correctly and restart EM.
Hope this helps. Regards Tim...
