Chapter 7. Implementing Oracle8 and J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld
This chapter will discuss the necessary procedures for installing and
configuring Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows NT and J.D. Edwards’
OneWorld B73.3 applications on a Windows NT 4.0 platform. The server used
in these processes are IBM’s Netfinity 5500 systems. Before installing Oracle
and OneWorld, IBM’s ServerGuide (included with all new IBM Netfinity
servers) was used to configure the Netfinity servers. This set of software
(HardwareGuide and SoftwareGuide) contains the installation tools and
codes, and are necessary to aid users in installing their appropriate operating
systems with minimum effort.
7.1 Deployment Server Setup
In this section, the deployment server will be set up and configured with the
required software. The tasks will include the following installations:
• Updated BIOS for the IBM Netfinity server
• Windows NT 4.0 using IBM’s ServerGuide software
• Microsoft Access
• Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0
(C++ 6.0 supported by OneWorld B73.3.1 or higher only)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01
• Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows NT
• Microsoft Internet Server
Before you begin, it is recommended that you download the latest BIOS for your
IBM Netfinity server from the IBM Web site:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/netfinity
Complete the following steps to set up the deployment server:
1. Install the latest BIOS on your Netfinity server and continue.
2. Using the ServerGuide that came with your machine, set up the hardware and
install Windows NT Server 4.0. In addition, install Service Pack 4 or later for
Windows NT Server 4.0 and ensure your Y2K software requirements have
been met. ServerGuide will configure your hardware and simplify the operating
system installation by providing Windows NT with the correct drivers for your
machine (see Chapter 6, “Using ServerGuide for IBM Netfinity” on page 79 to
help you with these tasks).
3. After Windows NT is installed, a few changes are needed for tuning purposes:
1. From the Windows NT work space, select Start > Settings > Control
Panel.
2. Double-click Network and select the Services tab.
3. Double-click the Server process.
