Start Installing the Storage Tier on UNIX for Oracle Database 19c

This guide describes how to set up and deploy IFS Cloud in the Storage Tier on UNIX for Oracle Database 19c. Since some parts of IFS Cloud business logic is written in PLSQL, these parts are also deployed into the Oracle database.

Process

The processes of installing the storage tier starts with installing the Oracle Database 19c software. After the software is installed, a database is created using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant tool (DBCA) and the IFS DBCA templates for Oracle Database 19c. The database is then prepared for use of IFS Cloud and finally IFS Cloud database objects, PL/SQL code, tables and data are deployed into the database.

Prerequisites

The database software and a build of IFS Application containing the components and selections of other components is needed to continue. The Base Server Administration tool must be available for the preparation of the database.

The Storage Considerations must be met.

Settings

The build location / distribution archive is referred to as the <build_home>.

The target of the installation is referred to as <ifs_home>

A temporary directory must be present (normally /tmp) on the server. Oracle installation program will create an Oracle Flexible Architecture (OFA) directory structure for the software in the $ORACLE_BASE directory.

Parameter Name	Value
<ifs_home>	/opt/ifs
<TEMP>	/tmp
<ORACLE_BASE>	/opt/oracle
