Installing the Infrastructure Software

About Installing Oracle User Messaging Service (UMS)

Oracle User Messaging Service (UMS) enables two-way communication between users and applications. UMS is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution and installs as part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure standard installation topology.

UMS runtime components include a Configuration Wizard template and an Oracle Fusion Middleware schema, which installs into a database using Repository Creation Utility. See Introduction to Oracle User Messaging Service in Administering Oracle User Messaging Service.

You can install and use Oracle JDeveloper 14c to develop applications that can leverage UMS features. See Installing Oracle JDeveloper.

Starting the Installation Program

You launch the installation program from the JDK directory on your system.

To start the installation program, run the following steps.

Sign in to the target system.
Verify that a certified JDK is on your system; the installer requires a certified JDK. See the certification document for 14c (14.1.2.0.0) on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.
Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
Launch the installation program by invoking the java executable from the JDK directory on your system, as examples below show. Replace the JDK location in the examples with the actual JDK location on your system.
On UNIX operating systems:
```
/home/Oracle/jdk/jdk17.0.12/bin/java -jar fmw_14.1.2.0.0_infrastructure_generic.jar
```
On Windows operating systems:
```
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk17.0.12\bin\java" -jar fmw_14.1.2.0.0_infrastructure_generic.jar
```
Note:
When launching the installation program on Windows, run the command with Windows Administrator privileges. Specify 'Run as administrator' when you open the command prompt. The title bar of the command prompt window reads 'Administrator: Command Prompt'.

When the installation program opens, you can begin installation. Navigating the Installation Screens describes each screen.

Navigating the Installation Screens

The installer shows a series of screens where you verify or enter information.

Table 2-1 lists the order in which installer screens appear. If you need additional help with an installation screen, click Help.

Table 2-1 Install Screens

Screen	Description
Installation Inventory Setup	On Linux or Unix operating systems, this screen opens if this is the first time you are installing any Oracle product on this host. 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. See About the Oracle Central Inventory in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer. This screen does not appear on Windows operating systems.
Welcome	Review the information to make sure that you have met all the prerequisites, then click Next.
Auto Updates	Select to skip automatic updates, select patches, or search for the latest software updates, including important security updates, through your My Oracle Support account.
Installation Location	Specify your Oracle home directory location. You can click View to verify and ensure that you are installing in the correct Oracle home.
Prerequisite Checks	This screen verifies that your system meets the minimum necessary requirements. To view the list of tasks that gets verified, select View Successful Tasks. To view log details, select View Log. If any prerequisite check fails, then an error message appears at the bottom of the screen. Fix the error and click Rerun to try again. To ignore the error or the warning message and continue with the installation, click Skip (not recommended).
Installation Summary	Use this screen to verify installation options you selected. If you want to save these options to a response file, click Save Response File and enter the response file location and name. The response file collects and stores all the information that you have entered, and enables you to perform a silent installation (from the command line) at a later time. Click Install to begin the installation.
Installation Progress	This screen shows the installation progress. When the progress bar reaches 100% complete, click Finish to dismiss the installer, or click Next to see a summary.

Verifying the Installation

After you complete the installation, verify it by completing the following tasks.

Reviewing Installation Log Files

Review contents of the installation log files to verify the installer did not encounter problems.

For a description of log files and where to find them, see Installation Log Files in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

Checking the Directory Structure

The contents of your installation vary based on options you select during installation.

For more information on the directory structure that you should see after installation, see What are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories? in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Viewing Your Oracle Home Contents

You can view the contents of your Oracle home using the viewInventory script.
