To run the installation program in graphical mode, the console attached to the machine on which you are installing the software must support a Java-based GUI. All consoles for Windows systems support Java-based GUIs, but not all consoles for Linux systems do.

To install Converged Application Server:

1. Log in to the target machine.
2. Download the Converged Application Server software from the Oracle software delivery website at:

   http://edelivery.oracle.com

3. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation ZIP file and extract occas_generic.jar.
4. Launch the installation program by entering the following command from the JDK directory on your system:

   java -jar occas_generic.jar
   

   The installation program starts.

   If no other Oracle products are installed on the system, the Installation Inventory Setup screen appears. Specify the location where you want to create your central inventory. Make sure that the operating system group name selected on this screen has write permissions to the central inventory location.

   If an Installation Inventory exists, the Oracle Communications Converged Application Server Installation Welcome screen appears.

5. Click Next.

   The Auto Updates screen appears.

6. If you already have an Oracle Technical Support account, use this screen to indicate how you would prefer to receive product and security updates.

   Either enter your account details or select Skip Auto Updates, then click Next.

   The Installation Location screen appears.

7. Use this screen to specify the location of your Oracle home directory.

   Click Next.

   The Installation Type screen appears.

8. Select one of the following options:
   • Converged Application Server Installation: This option includes everything you need to install, configure, and run Converged Application Server.
   • Complete Installation: In addition to the Converged Application Server software, this option also includes example converged applications. The examples are installed in your Oracle_home/occas/samples/sipserver/examples directory. Oracle_home is the directory that serves as the repository for common files that are used by Oracle Communications products installed on the same machine, such as Converged Application Server and WebLogic Server. For more information about the examples, see Converged Application Server Developer's Guide.

     Click Next.

     The Prerequisite Checks screen appears.

   If there are any warnings or errors, make sure that your environment meets all of the prerequisites. See Converged Application Server System Requirements for more information.

   Click Next.

   The Installation Summary screen appears.

10. Use this screen to verify the installation options you selected. If you want to save these options to a response file, click Save Response File and provide a location and name for the response file. Response files can be used later in a silent installation.

    Note:

    If you only want to save a response file, exit the installer now.

    For more information about silent installation, see "Installing Converged Application Server Using the Silent Installation".

11. Review the selections you have made, and click Install.

    The Installation Progress screen appears and the installation begins.

    Note:

    After the installation begins, if you click Cancel, the installation process stops but the files that are already copied are not removed.
