The Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) product software installer is based on the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). To install the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) product software on your host, you must know how to use OUI to install Oracle products. For more information, see Introduction to Oracle Universal Installer

Oracle Tuxedo makes use of the Oracle Universal Installer. A version of Java 1.8 is distributed with $ORACLE_HOME/jdk for use by OUI. Components of Oracle Tuxedo using Java can work with any supported version of Java, You can also install your own version of Java and keep it up to date with the latest security updates.

If desired, you can update $ORACLE_HOME/jdk to a later 1.8 update level. You can download the latest version of JDK from Java SE Development Kit Downloads page

The following sections describe special instructions that apply when you are installing certain products on a UNIX system.

• Providing a UNIX Installer Location with Root Privileges
  
• Failed to Connect to Server Error
  
• Providing a UNIX Group Name
  

$ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs

You can use these log files to troubleshoot installation problems. These files are also crucial for removing and configuring the various software components you install. OUI displays the name and location of the current session log file on the Install page. Each installation or configuration utility provides a separate folder containing the logs inside the $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs folder.

This section helps you set your OUI (Oracle User Interface ) language.

Platform-specific installer files for the Oracle Tuxedo product software are available for download from the Oracle corporate Web site.

Included with the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) software distribution is the Oracle Jolt product software, which enables Java clients to call Oracle Tuxedo services, and the Oracle SNMP Agent product software, which enables Oracle Tuxedo applications to be managed from a centralized enterprise management console, and Oracle Service Architecture Leveraging Tuxedo (Oracle SALT), which provides native Tuxedo Web service.

The Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) distribution contains the following components:

• Oracle Tuxedo Server components:
  • Oracle Application-to-Transaction Monitor Interface (ATMI) server software
  • Oracle Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) C++ server software
  • Oracle Jolt server software
  • Oracle SNMP Agent software
• Oracle Tuxedo Client components:
  • Oracle ATMI Workstation (/WS) client software
  • Oracle CORBA C++ client software—includes the C++ client Object Request Broker (ORB) and the environmental objects
  • Oracle Jolt 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) client software
• Oracle Service Architecture Leveraging Tuxedo (Oracle SALT):
  • Oracle Service Architecture Leveraging Tuxedo (Oracle SALT) software

The Oracle Tuxedo software must be installed on each server machine that participates in an Oracle Tuxedo application, also known as a Tuxedo domain. A Tuxedo application is a business software program, built upon the Tuxedo system, which is defined and controlled by a single configuration file known as the UBBCONFIG file. The Tuxedo configuration file is described on reference page UBBCONFIG(5) inFile Formats, Data Descriptions, MIBs, and System Processes Reference.

A Tuxedo application consists of many Tuxedo system processes, one or more application client processes, one or more application server processes, and one or more computer machines connected over a network. In a multi-machine Tuxedo application running different releases of the Oracle Tuxedo software, the master machine—designated via the MASTER parameter in the RESOURCES section of the UBBCONFIG file—must run the highest release of the Oracle Tuxedo software in the application. For more information about Tuxedo applications, see “Domains” in Oracle Tuxedo Product Overview.

The system requirements for Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) mentioned in the following table:

Java Runtime Environment(JRE) is required to install Oracle Tuxedo 22c using console mode. JRE 1.8 and above are recommended. Ensure that you install the required JRE and set the environment variable JAVA_HOME accordingly before installing Oracle Tuxedo.

Interprocess communication (IPC) is a capability supported by the Windows and UNIX operating systems that allows one process to communicate with another process. On a UNIX system, you use methods native to the UNIX system to adjust the IPC parameters and maximize the performance of an Oracle Tuxedo application. Since most UNIX systems are shipped with default values that are too low for an Oracle Tuxedo application, you need to adjust the IPC parameters, using the methods given in Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release (22.1.0.0.0) Platform Data Sheets. For the recommended IPC values, see IPC Resource Configuration on a UNIX System.

After installing the Oracle Tuxedo software and creating an application configuration file (UBBCONFIG file), you use thetmloadcf(1) command to calculate and print a list of the minimum IPC resources needed to support the application. If your Oracle Tuxedo application is distributed, the minimum IPC resources must be available on every machine participating in the application. For more information about calculating IPC resources and using the tmloadcf(1)command, see Performing Post-Installation Tasks

The Oracle Tuxedo software is distributed as an installer file, which also contains a copy of the Oracle Installation program. The Oracle Installation program is the Oracle standard tool for installing the Oracle Tuxedo software on UNIX systems.

An install type is a bundle of product software components related by function. Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) offers the following install types:

• Full Install - consists of all the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) server and client components of Tuxedo, SALT, and TSAM Plus agent.
• Server Install - consists of all the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) server components of Tuxedo, SALT, and TSAM Plus agent.
• Client Install - consists of all the Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) client components:
  • Oracle ATMI Workstation (/WS) client software
  • Oracle CORBA C++ client software (C++ client Object Request Broker, or ORB) including environmental objects
  • Oracle Jolt 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) client software

In addition to selecting an install type during an Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0) installation, a user can further customize the installation by selecting (adding) or deselecting (deleting) one or more software components from the install type. Customizing is only possible for GUI-mode installation methods described in Installing Oracle Tuxedo Using GUI-Mode Installation.

You are now ready to begin your installation. To install Oracle Tuxedo 22c Release 1 (22.1.0.0.0), see one of the following sections:

• Installing Oracle Tuxedo Using GUI-Mode Installation.
• Installing Oracle Tuxedo Using Console-Mode Installation.
