High Level Steps

1> Install Infra Oracle Application Server, OID

2> Install Middleware components including discoverer and portal
3> Upgrade the database of the infra from 10.1.0.4 to 10.1.0.5
4> Apply patch 5861907 to upgrade the apps server from 10.1.2 to 10.1.2.2
5> Connect to Discoverer viewer/Plus

The Oracle Application Server is divided into two main server side components which are
infrastructure and middle tier. Apart from there it also includes developer kits.

These components can be installed on the same server but must have separate ORACLE_HOMEs.
Also the infrastructure must be installed first after which you must install your middle tier components
as the meta data repository is a part of the infrastructure installation.

The Version of Oracle Application Server is 10.1.2.0

Download the software from http://otn.oracle.com

2. OS Directories
Next we will make a directory structure to hold your application server components.

# cd /u03
# mkdir oracleAS
# chmod -R 777 oracleAS

3. OS User Accounts
Having two seperate OS accounts for the infrastructure and middle tier comapnets make it easier to
manage the installation.

# useradd -g dba -d /u03/oracleAS/asinf asinf

# useradd -g dba -d /u03/oracleAS/asmid asmid

chgrp dba /u03/oracleAS

chmod g+w /u03/oracleAS

4.Oracle Inventory

Make sure to set your oracle inventory location to a accessible location.

vi /etc/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u03/oracleAS/oraInventory
inst_group=dba

5. Starting the installation.

The installation has to be started as the infrastructure user (asinf), but executing the runInstaller
executable. The first screen is the welcome screen

su – asinf
./installer
Password – welcome1
Instance name - orasso
Password – welcome1
To reset orcladmin passwd
alter user ods modified by oracle10gas
oidpasswd connect=infra unlock_su_acct=true
oidpasswd

Also can use resetiASpasswd.sh

To check ldap server is running or not

$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/bin/ldapcheck

You should see something like:

Checking Oracle Internet Directory Processes ...

Process oidmon is Alive as PID 6338 <---guardian process

Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 6412 <---ldap dispatcher
Process oidldapd is Alive as PID 6404 <---ldap server
Not Running ---- Process oidrepld <-----Only shows if OID Replication
was setup
