This is a list of steps to check for when installing Oracle Applications.

Step 1:        Ensure that hostname and IP address are in hosts file. Under Windows, ensure that in the hosts file, the hostname is in the following order:

127.0.0.1                    localhost.localdomain                       localhost

xx.xx.xx.xx               hostname.domainname                   alias

Step 2:        Ping machine. It should return:

C:> ping alias

Pinging hostname.domainname [xx.xx.xx.xx] with 32 bytes of data:

Step 3:        Create domain user applmgr and ensure that it is assigned to the Administrators group of the local machine.

Step 4:        Install Visual C++ 6.0 to C:VC98 and apply service pack 4

Step 5:        Install Cygwin to C:cygwin (see Metalink document “Using Cygwin to Maintain Release 11i on Windows” Doc ID:302859.1 for packages to download).

Step 6:        To compile GNU Make, run VCVARS.bat from Visual C++ directory and in the gnumake-3.79.1 directory, run build_w32.bat twice. Copy gnumake.exe to c:cygwinbin (or C:mksntmksnt).

Step 7:        Install Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 4 or later SDK. Copy file from Microsoft XML Parserlib to C:VC98lib.( 11.5.9)

Step 8:        Install Java SDK 1.3.1_18 (11.5.9) (or 1.3.1_15?)

Step 9:        Install Perl (download ActivePerl from http://www.perl.com) (11.5.10)

Step 10:   Copy zip.exe and unzip.exe to C:mksntmksnt

Step 11:    Ensure that all files are on the path:

which gnumake

which perl

which zip

which cc

which link

Modify path if necessary to include: C:Perlbin; C:cygwinbin;C:VC98bin.

Step 12:   Ensure correct versions of Perl and Java installed:

Perl –version

ActivePerl version should be v5.8.8

On Linux, Perl should be 5.003 or later

Java –version

Should be 1.3.1_18

Step 13:   Set TEMP and TMP environment variables for user applmgr to C:TEMP.

Step 14:   Check manual on startCD for instructions on directory structure (11.5.9).

Step 15:   Set up staging area.
