1 Installing Application Developer

1.1.1 Creating Database Schemas

Oracle Application Developer includes Oracle WSM Policy Manager and Oracle WSM-PM Extension. These components require that the MDS schema exists in your database prior to installation. You must run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the MDS schema in your database. Follow the instructions in "Creating Schemas" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide to do so.

1.1.2 Installing Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle Application Server requires Oracle WebLogic Server:

1. To download the latest Oracle WebLogic Server, see "Product Distribution" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

2. For installation instructions, see "Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

1.2.1 Starting the Installer

The installer requires the location of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. When you installed Oracle WebLogic Server, a JRE was installed on your system. You can use this location (the location of the jre directory) to start the installer. The default location for the JRE is MW_HOME/jdk160_18 (on UNIX systems) or MW_HOME\jdk160_18 (on Windows systems), where MW_HOME is the Middleware Home directory.

On 64-bit platforms, the JRE location is the JAVA_HOME you used to install Oracle WebLogic Server.

On UNIX operating systems:

./runInstaller -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION

On Windows operating systems:

setup.exe -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION

You must specify the absolute path to your JRE_LOCATION; relative paths are not supported.

If no JRE location is specified, you will be prompted to provide the location of your JRE before the installer is started. For example, on a UNIX operating system:

[> ./runInstaller 
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2010-02-23_10-57-58AM. Please wait ...
Please specify JRE/JDK location ( Ex. /home/jre ), <location>/bin/java should exist :

Specify the absolute path to the JRE on your system before you continue.

1.2.2 Installation Log Files

The installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/log (on UNIX operating systems) or Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs (on Windows operating systems) directory. Refer to Section D.2.1, "Installation Log Files" for more information about the log files and their contents.

1.2.3 Inventory Screens (UNIX Only)

If you are installing on a UNIX system, and if this is the first time any Oracle product is being installed on your system with the Oracle Universal Installer, you will be asked to provide the location of an inventory directory. This is where the installer will set up subdirectories and maintain inventory data for each Oracle product that is installed on this system.

Follow the instructions in Table 1-1 to configure the inventory directory information. For more help, click on the screen name in the table below, or click the Help button in the GUI.

1.2.4 Installation Screens and Instructions

Follow the instructions in Table 1-2 to install the Application Developer software.

If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, refer to Appendix A, "Application Developer Installation Screens" or click Help to access the online help.
