System requirements
Listed below are the system requirements for running Application Server. Though installer checks many of these requirements at the start of the installation process and warns you if any of them is not met, it is still recommended to check manually in order to save time for future problems. You can also run the system checks performed by the installer without doing an installation, by running the setup.exe on a command line: C:\> cd <AS download directory> C:\> setup.exe executeSysPrereqs Below are minimum system requirements for running Application Server:

Ports
Many Oracle Application server components such as HTTP Server use ports. You can have installer (OUI) assign default port numbers or use that you specify. To check if a port is being used or not, you run netstat command as below: netstat an | findstr <portnumber> Below table shows default port number and range for the Oracle Application Server components: Component Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) Oracle Notification Server Request Port Oracle Notification Server Local Port 6003 6100 6003 - 6099 6100 - 6199 6200 - 6299 Oracle Notification Server Request port Oracle Notification Server Local port Oracle Notification Server Remote port Default Port Port Number Range Name in staticports.ini

Installer will look for default port number first, if this is in use, it looks for next lowest port number available in the range. If installer does not find any port number available in the port range installation will fail, so make sure at least one port is available in the port number range for each component. If you plan to use custom port number, create a file containing component name and port number in the described format as below. This file typically named as staticports.ini, but can be named any. Staticports.ini format:
Oracle HTTP Server port = port_num Oracle HTTP Server SSL port = port_num Oracle Notification Server Request port = port_num Oracle Notification Server Local port = port_num Oracle Notification Server Remote port = port_num

Notes on Choosing Port Numbers:

Port numbers cannot be greater than 65535. If you plan to set port numbers for Oracle HTTP Server, be sure to follow below notes: In the httpd.conf file for Oracle HTTP Server, the Port and the Listen directives specify the ports used by Oracle HTTP Server. You must set both directives to use the same port number. To set these ports, use the "Oracle HTTP Server port" and "Oracle HTTP Server Listen port" lines in the staticports.ini file. For example: Oracle HTTP Server port = 8080 Oracle HTTP Server Listen port = 8080 To set the SSL version of these ports, use the following lines. As in the non-SSL version, the port numbers must be the same. Oracle HTTP Server SSL port = 443 Oracle HTTP Server Listen (SSL) port = 443

Oracle* Application Server* 10.1.3 Installation on a Microsoft* Windows* Operating System Intel Server Board S5000VSA

When installation is complete, you can run the following commands to see the assigned ports: <ORACLE_HOME>\opmn\bin\opmnctl status l

Ports to Open in Firewalls

If you plan to install Oracle AS Suite behind firewalls, you need to open certain ports in the firewall during installation (and also during runtime). For a 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) middle-tier instance, you need access to Oracle Notification Server and AJP ports. You need to open the following ports used by these components in the firewall: OPMN Oracle Notification Server remote port OC4J AJP port

Environment Variables
ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN must not be set. Refer to OS Document on how to set/unset environment variables.

Operating System User

The operating system user performing the installation must belong to the Administrators group. The user must be listed directly in the Administrators group. The user cannot belong to the Administrators group indirectly.

Installing on DHCP Computers

Note this limitation when running Oracle Application Server on DHCP computers: Oracle Application Server instances on DHCP computers cannot communicate with other instances running on other computers. For example, you cannot have OracleAS Infrastructure on one computer and a middle tier on another computer if any one of those computers uses DHCP. All the instances that need to communicate with each other need to run on the same computer. There are no limitations on clients: clients from other computers can access the instances running on the DHCP computer, as long as the client computer can resolve the DHCP computer on the network.

Oracle* Application Server* 10.1.3 Installation on a Microsoft* Windows* Operating System Intel Server Board S5000VSA

Before installing Oracle Application Server on a DHCP computer, perform these steps: 1) Install a loopback adapter on the DHCP computer. To install a loopback adapter on the different Windows platforms, refer to OS Document. 2) Ping each computer where you plan to install Oracle Application Server. 3) Ping the computer from itself, using only the hostname and using the fully qualified name.
