Installing Ultra Search Middle-tier Components

Installation and Configuration Steps

Step 1: Install 9iAS Infrastructure and the Ultra Search Server Component

For database release:
Start up the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) on the relevant host. After choosing the destination Oracle home name and full path, choose the option "Oracle9i Server." Ultra Search server tier will be installed with the Oracle iAS infrastructure by default.
For iAS infrastructure:
Start up the OUI on the relevant host. After choosing the destination Oracle home name and full path, choose the option "Oracle9iAS Infrastructure 9.0.2.0.0." Ultra Search server tier will be installed with the Oracle iAS infrastructure by default.

During the installation of iAS infrastructure or the Oracle database server, the Ultra Search server component is installed. The following activity occurs during this process:

All Ultra Search server component files are copied into a directory named "ultrasearch". This directory resides immediately under the ORACLE_HOME of the designated database installation.
The database user WKSYS with password WKSYS is created. You should change this password later for security purposes. All Ultra Search database objects are installed in this user's schema.
Various PL/SQL scripts are run against the database as user WKSYS. These scripts install and create various database objects.

After you have successfully installed 9iAS infrastructure or Oracle database server and the Ultra Search server component, ensure that the following environment variables are set whenever you operate on this Oracle instance. This is especially important when working on a host that contains multiple Oracle products (and hence multiple Oracle homes). The environment variables and their values are as follows:

ORACLE_HOME: The directory in which you have installed Oracle.
ORACLE_SID: The Oracle instance SID of the database that you specified during the installation process.
PATH: Must be extended to include the bin directory of the newly installed Oracle home (for example, $ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH)
TNS_ADMIN: Must be set to the network/admin subdirectory in the newly installed Oracle home.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Must include all necessary system library directories. For example, on a Solaris 2.6 host, the default LD_LIBRARY_PATH might have the value /usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/ucblib:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/ccs/lib

Your Oracle DBA can edit the oraenv script to ensure that all these environment variables are correctly set every time you begin a new shell. Alternatively, you can edit your shell startup script, such as the .cshrc or .bashrc file, in your home directory.

Step 2: Configure the Oracle Database for Ultra Search

After you have installed all Ultra Search components, you must configure the Oracle Database. This is a post-installation operation. It is documented in the Post-Installation section.
