IBM B73.3 manual Implementing Oracle8 and J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld, Deployment Server Setup

Chapter 7. Implementing Oracle8 and J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld

This chapter will discuss the necessary procedures for installing and configuring Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows NT and J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld B73.3 applications on a Windows NT 4.0 platform. The server used in these processes are IBM’s Netfinity 5500 systems. Before installing Oracle and OneWorld, IBM’s ServerGuide (included with all new IBM Netfinity servers) was used to configure the Netfinity servers. This set of software (HardwareGuide and SoftwareGuide) contains the installation tools and codes, and are necessary to aid users in installing their appropriate operating systems with minimum effort.

7.1 Deployment Server Setup

In this section, the deployment server will be set up and configured with the required software. The tasks will include the following installations:

•Updated BIOS for the IBM Netfinity server

•Windows NT 4.0 using IBM’s ServerGuide software

•Microsoft Access

•Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0

(C++ 6.0 supported by OneWorld B73.3.1 or higher only)

•Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher

•Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01

•Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows NT

•Microsoft Internet Server

Before you begin, it is recommended that you download the latest BIOS for your IBM Netfinity server from the IBM Web site:

http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/netfinity

Complete the following steps to set up the deployment server:

1.Install the latest BIOS on your Netfinity server and continue.

2.Using the ServerGuide that came with your machine, set up the hardware and install Windows NT Server 4.0. In addition, install Service Pack 4 or later for Windows NT Server 4.0 and ensure your Y2K software requirements have been met. ServerGuide will configure your hardware and simplify the operating system installation by providing Windows NT with the correct drivers for your machine (see Chapter 6, “Using ServerGuide for IBM Netfinity” on page 79 to help you with these tasks).

3.After Windows NT is installed, a few changes are needed for tuning purposes:

1.From the Windows NT work space, select Start > Settings > Control Panel.

2.Double-click Network and select the Services tab.

3.Double-click the Server process.
