5.3 Preparing the Properties file for Installation

You can customize the OAA, OARM, and OUA installation by setting properties in the installOAA.properties file. The installOAA.properties is used by the Management Container installation script and is copied to the <NFS_CONFIG_PATH> during the installation of the Management Container pod. The installOAA.properties file is later passed as an argument to the OAA.sh script when deploying OAA, OARM, and OUA.

The following sections show how to prepare the installOAA.properties file based on deploying using the Oracle recommended sandbox architecture in Supported Architectures:

5.3.1 Gathering Variables

List of Variables

Throughout the Prerequisite Configurations for Installing OAA, OARM, and OUA chapter, you should have gathered variables during the Configuration Checkpoints sections. These variables will be used to populate the parameters in the installOAA.properties. The variables required for the installOAA.properties are shown below for completeness:

5.3.2 Editing the installOAA.properties

The following are the properties that must be changed in the installOAA.properties based on installing as per the Oracle recommended sandbox architecture in Supported Architectures. Properties not listed below should not be changed from their default values. Where variables are referenced, replace with your corresponding value.

Note:

If you are not using the Oracle recommended sandbox architecture Supported Architectures, you will need to refer to Understanding installOAA.properties Parameters, as the parameters to change may differ.

Common Deployment Configuration

Variable Sample Value Description

common.deployment.truststorepassphrase=<TRUST_CERT_P12_PWD> password

If using your own certificates, you must set this to <TRUST_CERT_P12_PWD>.

If you are going to use the self-signed certificates generated by OAA during installation, then set to a password of your choice.
common.deployment.mode=<type> Both Determines the installation type. Set <type> to the value based on the components you wish to install:

Additional Considerations

If you have pushed the additional image (oraclelinux:8-slim) referenced in Setting Up a Container Image Registry (CIR) to a repository, you must add the following parameter to the ## 5. Chart configuration# section:

Note:

This parameter is not referenced in the default file so you must add it. 
install.global.testrepo=<CIR_REPOSITORY>
