Infrastructure Installation
The Oracle9iAS Infrastructure installation consists of:
Oracle9iAS
Metadata Repository:
Pre-seeded database containing metadata needed to run Oracle9iAS instances.
Oracle Internet Directory:
Directory service that enables sharing information about dispersed
users and network resources. Oracle Internet Directory implements
the LDAP, v3.
Oracle9iAS
Single Sign-On:
An enterprise-wide user authentication service to authenticate access
of multiple accounts and Oracle9iAS applications.
Oracle Management Server:
Processes system management tasks and administers the distribution
of these tasks across the network using the Oracle Enterprise Manager
Console. The Console and its three-tier architecture can be used with
the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web site to manage not only Oracle9iAS,
but your entire Oracle environment. Using the Oracle Management Server
is optional.
J2EE andWeb Cache:
For internal use with Oracle9iAS Infrastructure to configure Oracle
HTTP Server and Oracle9iAS Container for J2EE. Not used for component
application deployment.
Oracle9iAS Infrastructure is required for all of the Oracle9iAS middle-tier
installations except when installing the J2EE and Web Cache install type
without single sign-on or clustering. You should have installed an Oracle9iAS
Infrastructure in your network prior to installing the Portal and Wireless,
Business Intelligence and Forms, or Unified Messaging install types. For
better performance and easier manageability, you should consider installing
Oracle9iAS Infrastructure on a separate computer.

How to Install Oracle9iAS
Click the following links to proceed with suitable Installations:
Now you are ready to install the Oracle9iAS Infrastructure. The Oracle9iAS
Metadata Repository, Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On
will be installed. Perform the following steps:
1.
Insert your Oracle9i Application Server Release 2 CD-ROM
into the CD-ROM drive. In the Autorun window that appears, choose
Install/Deinstall Products. If you do not have your laptop
set up for Autorun capability, run autorun.exe
directly from the AUTORUN
directory on your CD-ROM. You will install Oracle9i Application
Server in its own home directory.
Note: If you will be installing Oracle9i Application Server Business
Intelligence and Forms and the Oracle9i Database Release 2 on the
same machine, it is recommended that you clean off your machine
and run this lesson first.

also creates installation logs as it progresses. You can view these
while the installation is in progress. The log for this installation
session is located at C:\Program
Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions.log.
If you install another product, the current log is copied to this
file and renamed, so there is always a history of each successive
installation.
9.
After the initial software is copied to the disk, the Oracle Universal
Installer also automatically configures the Infrastructure environment.
This is done in the background. The success of the operation is
reported in the Oracle Universal Installer Configuration Tools window.
