You can install Oracle AIA in two ways:

• Active install: Install Oracle AIA by using the Oracle AIA Installer. See "Installing Oracle AIA by Using Interactive Install".

• Silent install: Install Oracle AIA based on a response file generated by an active install. See "Installing Oracle AIA by Using Silent Install".

The instructions in this chapter assume the following:

• That you have installed and configured all prerequisite software. See "Oracle AIA System Requirements".

• That you have gathered all required information. See "Information Requirements".

• That you have performed all required pre-installation tasks. See "Oracle AIA Pre-Installation Tasks".

To install Oracle AIA:

1. Download the Oracle AIA software media pack from the Oracle software delivery website, located at:

   http://edelivery.oracle.com

2. Unzip the software media pack to a temporary directory and navigate to that directory.

   $ unzip oc-cn-aia-comms-12.3.2.0.0.zip
   $ cd oc-cn-aia-comms
   $ unzip -j aiapip-12.3.2.0.0.zip comms_home_installer_generic.jar

3. Ensure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the location where you installed the Java Development Kit and added to the PATH variable.

4. Enter one of the following commands:

   • To run the Installer and save a response file for future silent installations:

     java -jar comms_home_installer_generic.jar -record -destinationFile response_file
     

     where response_file is the name of the response file, including the complete path to the directory where you want to store the response file.

     Note:

     The response file is saved only after you click Install or Cancel on the Installation Summary screen. If you cancel the installation earlier, none of the information entered is saved.

   • To run the Installer without saving a response file:

     java -jar comms_home_installer_generic.jar
     

   The Welcome screen of the Oracle AIA Installer appears.

5. Review the components that will be installed and click Next.

   The Installation Inventory screen appears.

6. Click Next.

   The Java Home Location screen appears.

7. In the Java Home field, enter or browse to the directory where the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed and click Next.

   The Installation Summary screen appears.

8. Review the installation summary.

9. (Optional) To change any of the information shown on the summary screen:

   1. Select any screen from the navigation panel.

   2. Edit the information.

   3. Select the Installation Summary screen from the navigation panel.

10. Do one of the following:

    • To cancel the active installation, click Cancel.

      The Installer closes.

    • To complete the active installation:

      1. Click Install.

         The Installation Progress screen appears.

      2. Wait for the progress bar to reach 100% and click Next.

         The Installation Complete screen appears.

      3. Review the information.

      4. Click Finish.

         The Installer closes and the installation is complete.

      5. Review the installation log file and resolve any errors that appear. The log file is located in the temp_folder/ OraInstallYYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SSAMPM directory.

      6. Verify that the following directories were created in the installation home directory:

         comms_home

         custom

         inventory

         OPatch

         oracle_common

         oraInst.loc

         oui

      7. Prepare the SOA domain as described in "Preparing the SOA Domain".

      8. Configure and deploy the pre-built integrations that you will use as described in "Configuring and Deploying Pre-Built Integrations".

    If you used the -record option when running the Installer, the values you entered are saved in the response file whether you click Cancel or Install on the Installation Summary screen. See "Installing Oracle AIA by Using Silent Install" for information about using this response file for silent installation.

You can perform a silent installation using a response file with values recorded by the Oracle AIA Installer.

To perform a silent installation:

1. Generate the response file by performing an interactive installation and using the -record option as described in "Installing Oracle AIA by Using Interactive Install".

2. In the command line, navigate to the directory where you unzipped the software media pack.

3. Enter the following command:

   java -jar comms_home_installer_generic.jar -silent -responseFile response_file
   

   A message showing installation progress appears. A success message is displayed when installation is complete.

4. Review the installation log file and resolve any errors that appear. The log is located in the Install_home/comms_home/logs directory.

5. Verify that the following directories were created in the installation home directory:

   • comms_home

   • custom

   • inventory

   • OPatch

   • oracle_common

   • oraInst.loc

   • oui

6. Prepare the SOA domain as described in "Preparing the SOA Domain".

7. Configure and deploy the pre-built integrations that you will use as described in "Configuring and Deploying Pre-Built Integrations".

After installing Oracle AIA, you must prepare the SOA domain by copying domain configuration files and updating the domain.
