Installing UMS on Oracle Linux Server

Oracle

For the proper operation of the UMS with Oracle databases, particularly for the upgrade process, the number of open_cursors for the database must be adjusted. open_cursors is a system setting.

1. To get the actual value, log in to the database as SYSDBA and execute:
   SQL> select name, value from v$parameter where name = 'open_cursors';

2. The recommended value for open_cursors is "3000". To set the value, issue the following command as SYSDBA:
   SQL> alter system set open_cursors = 3000 scope=both;

3. The same command should be added to the SPFILE of the Oracle system in order for the changes to persist on the next reboot.

You want to install the UMS on the 64-bit version of Oracle Linux Server.

From UMS 5.09

From UMS Version 5.09, the installation of 32-bit libraries is no longer required. The necessary dependencies are automatically installed if the corresponding option has been chosen during the UMS installation procedure. See IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.

1. Adjust the Oracle Linux Server firewall settings to allow the network ports used by the UMS, see IGEL UMS Communication Ports.
   
2. Complete the installation as described in IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.

From UMS 5.07.100

From UMS Version 5.07.100, the required 32-bit libraries can automatically be installed by the UMS installer if the corresponding option is chosen during the UMS installation procedure.

1. Adjust the Oracle Linux Server firewall settings to allow the network ports used by the UMS, see IGEL UMS Communication Ports.
   
2. Complete the installation as described in IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.

Before UMS 5.07.100

To install the UMS on the 64-bit version of Oracle Linux Server, proceed as follows:

1. As root, update your 64-bit packages to the latest version:
yum update

2. Install libraries for 32-bit support:
   yum install \
glibc.i686 \
libzip.i686 \
ncurses-libs.i686 \
bzip2-libs.i686 \
libXtst.i686 \
libXinerama.i686 \
libXi.i686 \
libXext.i686 \
libXrender.i686 \
libgcc.i686
   
   
3. Reboot.
4. Adjust the Oracle Linux Server firewall settings to allow the network ports used by the UMS, see IGEL UMS Communication Ports.
   
5. Complete the installation as described in IGEL UMS Installation under Linux.
