Preface

This preface describes the audience, document accessibility features, diversity and inclusion, related documents, and conventions used in this guide—Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Audience

This guide is intended for developers and system administrators who are installing Oracle Fusion Middleware products for the first time and are comfortable running some system administration operations, such as creating users and groups, adding users to groups, and installing operating system patches on the computer where the products are going to be installed.

Users on UNIX systems who are installing Oracle Fusion Middleware need root access to run some scripts.

Documentation Accessibility

Access to Oracle Support

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
