2.
This launches the Oracle Universal Installer, through which you install Oracle Sensor Edge Server. Click Next.

3.
Enter a name for the installation and the path where you want to install Oracle Sensor Edge Server. Oracle Sensor Edge Server must use the same ORACLE_HOME as OC4J. From the Name drop-down list, select the Oracle home that you provided during Oracle Application Server installation. Click Next.

4.
Select Java Development and Deployment Services 10.1.3.0.0 in the Select a Product to Install window. Click Next.

5.
Select Oracle Sensor Edge Server in the Select Installation Type window. Click Next.

6.
Select Sensor Edge Server 10.1.3.0.0 in the Available Product Components window. Click Next.

7.
Enter a password for the OC4J administrator in the J2EE Container (OC4J) Password window. This is the administrator password that you defined when you installed Oracle Application Server. Click Next.

8.
Select Yes in the Sensor Data Repository Installation window. This is an optional step that enables you to connect the Sensor Edge Server to a Sensor Data Repository. If you select No, and you later want to use the Sensor Data Repository, you can configure it manually. Click Next.

9.
Select Create a new Sensor Data Repository in the Sensor Data Repository Configuration window. Click Next.

10.
Enter the database system password and TNS connect string information for the Sensor Data Repository in the SDR Database Connection Information window.
Enter the TNS Connect String value in the following format:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = <hostname>.<domain>) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
Click Next.

11.
In the Sensor Data Repository Password window, enter a password that you want to use for the Sensor Data Repository schema. Click Next.

12.
In the Sensor Data Streams Installation window, select Yes to connect the Sensor Edge Server to Sensor Data Streams. Click Next.

13.
In the Connect to an Existing SDS window, select Create a new Sensor Data Streams schema. Click Next.

14.
Before deploying Sensor Data Streams, make sure that Oracle Database is running in ArchiveLog mode, with automatic archiving enabled.
Enter the database system password and TNS connect string information in the Sensor Data Streams Configuration window. Enter the TNS Connect String value in the following format:
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = <hostname>.<domain>) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl))) Click Next.

15.
In the Summary window, verify the installation options, and click Install.

16.
In the Configuration Assistants window, wait for the configuration assistants to finish. Click Next.

17.
Click Exit in the End of Installation window.

18.
Click Yes in the Exit dialog box.

19.
The Oracle Sensor Edge Server Welcome window appears.

20.
Verify that your OC4J server is running. If OC4J Server is not running, start the OC4J Server using the following command. Switch to the command prompt, change directory to <edgeserver_home>ORACLE_HOME\opmn\bin and issue the command
opmnctl startall

21.
To display the Sensor Edge Server login page, open a browser window, and enter the following URL for the Sensor Edge Server console:
