This guide describes how to set up and deploy IFS Applications in the Storage Tier on UNIX for Oracle Database 12c Release 2. Since some parts of IFS Applications business logic is written in PLSQL, these parts are also deployed into the Oracle database.
The processes of installing the storage tier starts with installing the
Oracle Database 12c Release 2 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 12c Release 2. The database is
then prepared for use of IFS Applications and finally IFS Applications database
objects, PL/SQL code, tables and data are deployed into the database.
Finally database objects for IFS Mobile Client needs to be manually installed.
The database software and a build of IFS Application containing the Foundation1 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.
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 |
