The Oracle Application Server Installation Guide covers requirements, new features in the
Oracle Universal Installer, Oracle Application Server concepts that affect installation,
installation procedures, and troubleshooting tips. In addition, this guide also provides
some sample topologies for installing and running Oracle Application Server.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for users who are comfortable running some system
administration operations, such as creating users and groups, adding users to groups,
and installing operating system patches on the computer where Oracle Application
Server is going to be installed. Users who are installing Oracle Application Server need
root access to run some scripts.
Documentation Accessibility
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation
accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our
documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive
technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to
facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to
evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading
technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be
accessible to all of our customers. For more information, visit the Oracle Accessibility

Product and Installation Overview
This chapter describes what is contained in Oracle Application Server and
recommended topologies. It contains the following sections:
■Section 1.1, "Product Overview"
■Section 1.2, "Where Do I Find Installation Instructions for My Product?"
■Section 1.3, "Recommended Topologies"
1.1 Product Overview
Oracle Application Server is made up of a middle tier and OracleAS Infrastructure.
You deploy and run your applications on the middle tiers. The infrastructure provides
services that are used by middle tiers. These services can be shared by one or more
middle tiers.
Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1) provides a comprehensive Identity and
Access Management solution. The Identity and Access Management Suite includes:
1
■Oracle Internet Directory: Provides scalable, robust LDAP V3-compliant directory
services implemented on the Oracle Database.
■Oracle Identity Federation: Provides standards-based, multi-protocol, and
cross-domain single sign-on.
■Oracle Security Developer Tools: Provides a APIs for developing federation and
secure web services applications.
■Oracle Access Manager: Provides a state-of-the-art solution for centralized identity
administration and access control.
■Oracle Identity Manager: Provides a powerful and flexible enterprise identity
management system that automatically manages users’ access privileges within
enterprise IT resources.
■Oracle Virtual Directory: Provides Internet and industry-standard LDAP and XML
views of existing enterprise identity information, without synchronizing or
moving data from its native locations.
In addition to the Identity and Access Management Suite, this release provides a
revision of OracleAS Infrastructure, which includes the following Oracle Identity
Management components and OracleAS Metadata Repository:
■Oracle Internet Directory: A scalable, robust LDAP V3-compliant directory service
implemented on the Oracle Database.
Product and Installation Overview 1-1
Where Do I Find Installation Instructions for My Product?
■Oracle Directory Integration Platform: A component of Oracle Internet Directory
designed to perform directory synchronization with third party directory
products.
■Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority: A component that issues, revokes,
renews, and publishes X.509v3 certificates to support PKI-based strong
authentication methods.
■Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (OracleAS Single Sign-On): Provides
single sign-on access to Oracle and third-party Web applications.

After logging into OracleMetaLink, click Certify. From the resulting Web page, you can
view the latest certifications by product, platform, and product availability.
2.2 System Requirements
Tab le 2– 2 lists the system requirements for running Oracle Application Server. The
installer checks many of these requirements at the start of the installation process and
warns you if any of them is not met. To save time, you can manually check only the
ones that are not checked by the installer. Refer to Tab le 2 –2 to see which requirements
are not checked by the installer.
You can also run the system checks performed by the installer without doing an
installation, by running the runInstaller command as shown. The runInstaller
command is on the Oracle Application Server CD-ROM (Disk 1) or DVD-ROM (in the
application_server directory).
The results are displayed on the screen as well as written to a log file. For more
information on the types of checks performed, see Section 2.11, "Prerequisite Checks

MemoryThe memory requirements provided for the various installation types represents enough
physical memory to install and run Oracle Application Server. However, for most
production sites, you should configure at least 1 GB of physical memory. For sites with
substantial traffic, increasing the amount of memory further may improve your
performance. For Java applications, you should either increase the maximum heap allocated
to the OC4J processes, or configure additional OC4J processes to utilize this memory. See the
Oracle Application Server Performance Guide for details.
To determine the optimal amount of memory for your installation, the best practice is to
load test your site. Resource requirements can vary substantially for different applications
and different usage patterns. In addition, some operating system utilities for monitoring
memory can overstate memory usage (partially due to the representation of shared
memory). The preferred method for determining memory requirements is to monitor the
improvement in performance resulting from the addition of physical memory in your load
test. Refer to your platform vendor documentation for information on how to configure
memory and processor resources for testing purposes.

You can install the data files for the OracleAS Metadata Repository database on a disk
that is different from the disk where you are installing OracleAS Infrastructure. If you
do this, make sure the disk for the Oracle Home has at least 3.5 GB of free space and the
disk for the data files has at least 3.0 GB of free space.
■Oracle Identity Management only: 3 GB
■OracleAS Metadata Repository only: 6.5 GB
Oracle Identity Federation: 2.3 GB
The installer may display inaccurate disk space requirement figures. Refer to the figures
listed above for disk space requirements.
To determine the amount of free disk space, use the bdf command:
prompt> bdf dir
Replace dir with the Oracle home directory or with the parent directory if the Oracle home
directory does not exist yet. For example, if you plan to install
Server in /opt/oracle/infra, you can replace dir with /opt/oracle or
/opt/oracle/infra.

If you are performing the installation from the console or X Windows, then add the
following line to the /etc/pam.d/xdm file:
session required pam_limits.so
2.2.2 Tips for Reducing Memory Usage
If you need to reduce memory consumption:
■Configure only the components that you need.
■After installation, start up only the components that you need. See the Oracle
Application Server Administrator’s Guide for details.
■Run Application Server Control only when you need to administer an instance. In
most cases, you do not need Application Server Control running all the time.
If you are running multiple Oracle Application Server instances on one computer,
each Application Server Control can consume a lot of memory. Running
Application Server Control only when you need it can free up memory for other
components.
Software Requirements
■Configure Application Server Control so that it can manage multiple instances. See
the Oracle Application Server Administrator’s Guide for details.
2.3 Software Requirements
Check that the software listed in Ta bl e 2– 3 is installed on the system. The procedure
that follows the table describes how to ensure the correct software is installed on the
system.
Note: Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1) is certified with the
following Operating System specific software. For the most current list
of supported Operating System specific software, for example JDK
