Understanding IBM i Code Current Installation for IBM i

The Code Current installation process installs Release 9.2 system and database files on the IBM i machine. The Code Current installer does not run on the IBM i machine; it can only run on a Microsoft Windows machine. Oracle recommends that you run the installer from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Server so that the Oracle Inventory and install history will be preserved. As a prerequisite to running the installer, IBM i Access for Windows must be installed on the Deployment Server.

Note: If you are installing any JD Edwards EnterpriseOne component on multiple IBM i machines (for example, if you are installing multiple logic servers), you must run the Code Current installer from a different Microsoft Windows machine for each separate machine you install. Otherwise, the installer detects that some components (for example, Foundation for a logic server) have already been installed, and, by design, ignores subsequent requests to install the same component, regardless of whether the installation is intended for a different target machine.

This documentation explains the process used to install JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 9.2. software which consists of the steps:

  1. Install the Deployment Server and E1Local Database
  2. Install the Code Current release of the Database
  3. Install the Code Current release of the Applications and Enterprise Server components
  4. Configure the EnterpriseOne CNC tables
  5. Install the HTML Web Server
Note: A JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server is mandatory to run web-enabled JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications, which includes all end-user applications and selected tools applications. This guide only describes the definition of the HTML Web Server. The installation of the HTML Web Server is not covered in this guide. Separate guides describe the installation process for the HTML Web Server on the supported platforms using Server Manager. Topics relating to the HTML Web Server other than installation using Server Manager are covered in platform-specific reference guides. Such topics include the installation and configuration of the underlying application servers. Refer to these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne guides which are available on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Documentation library. For Applications Release 9.2 and Tools Release 9.2.x, refer to this library on the Oracle Technology Network at this link: https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/jd-edwards/ibmi-power-systems/index.html

Recommended Configurations

You can set up your Release 9.2 configuration in many ways. You must follow the typical setup and naming conventions whenever possible, unless a strong business case supports the need to change. See also, Typical Customer Configuration in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne System Administration Guidefor more information about the typical customer configuration provided with Release 9.2.

Note: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 9.2 does not support coexistence. If you have ever had JD Edwards World installed, you will need to perform the steps in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Ending Coexistence Guide before starting your Release 9.2 upgrade.
