    Single Node and Multi Node nstallationIn this part we will learn how to start with the Single Node and MultiNode Installation along with step by step instructions, screen shotsand frequently asked questions.

    Single-node and multi node installation

    In a single-node installation, the database, all product directories,all servers (concurrent processing, fors, and !eb" are installed on asingle node under one coon #$$%&'$ whereas in a ulti-nodeinstallation, you install both application tier and database tierservers across two or ore nodes.

    'he installation steps for single-node and ulti-node installation arealost the sae. In the )th step, one needs to choose between thesingle-node and ulti-node installations. *ollow the steps as shownbelow to start your installation.

    Step 1. Start the Rapid Install wizard

    Start the wi+ard fro the coand line by typing rapidwi+ at thepropt. 'he !elcoe screen appears.

    'his screen lists the coponents that are included in, or supported by,this release of racle #pplications. se the scroll bar to bring allthe coponents into view. 'his screen is for inforation only. Noaction is required. lick Net to continue.

    Step 2. Select a wizard operation

    se the Select !i+ard peration screen to indicate the action you want/apid Install to perfor. 0ou begin both new installations and upgradesfro this screen. 1ased on the action you choose, the /apid Installwi+ard continues with the appropriate screen flow. 'he available

    actions are as follows2

    'he available actions are as follows2

    Install Oracle Applications E-Business 11i

    'his action sets up a new, fully configured syste, with either a freshdatabase or a 3ision 4eo database. 'he configuration is derived frothe syste-specific configuration paraeters you enter in the /apidInstall wi+ard and save in the configuration file (config.tt".

    n the %oad onfiguration screen, you indicate whether you will beusing an eisting configuration file

    If you answer No, /apid Install saves the configuration paraeters youenter on the wi+ard screens in a new configuration file (config.tt"that it will use to configure your syste for the new installation. 0ouindicate the location and the nae of the new configuration file on asubsequent screen.

'ypically, you choose this option when copying theconfiguration file to other nodes in a ulti-node installation, or whenrestarting /apid Install after an interruption in the installationprocessing.

    1ecause this is a new installation, click No, and click net tocontinue.

    Step &. hoose installation t%pe

    n the Install 'ype screen, you indicate whether you want to installservers on a single node or distribute the across ultiple nodes.

    In a single-node installation, the /41MS, the core #4 directories andproduct directories, and the concurrent processing, fors, and !ebservers are installed on one node under a coon #$$%&'$.

    In a ulti-node installation, the /41MS and the concurrent processingserver, fors server, and !eb server can be distributed across ultiplenodes. 'he core #4 directories and all product directories areinstalled under the #$$%&'$ on all tiers. Nodes can be configured toshare an #$$%&'$.

    In a syste that eploys load balancing, requests are autoaticallydirected to a server on the 9least loaded9 node > the one that has thesallest nuber of processing tasks in progress. n this screen, youchoose whether to enable load balancing. If you choose the 9No, do notenable load balancing9 option, the wi+ard assues that your syste willnot be configured for ultiple fors or concurrent processing servers.

    If you choose the 90es, enable load balancing9 option, the wi+ard

    propts you to indicate the nuber of fors servers and concurrentprocessing servers, and then steps you through the task of assigningthose servers to the nodes in your syste.

    Step 1'. Re*iew gloal settings#

    /apid Install uses the values specified on the @lobal Settings screento identify a qualified doain nae and to derive port settings thatyour syste will use to connect services and listeners.

    7nter a valid value for the 4oain Nae. 'his value, when cobined witha host nae, ust produce a fully qualified doain nae. *or eaple,for .us.oracle.co, the doain nae is us.oracle.co. 'he starting

    'he configuration file contains all the inforation required toconfigure a specific racle #pplications instance. /apid Install usesthese values during the installation to create the file syste, installthe database, and configure and start the server processes. It thenstores the values in a central repository called a contet file, whichyou can use to odify the syste configuration at any tie after theinstallation is coplete.
