Installing Place
5-4 Oracle® Retail Place Installation Guide
Return Value
When run in the silent mode (install.sh -s), a trace message appears on the console (the
stdout). When run in the Oracle Installer mode (the default), the script displays a
graphical user interface.
Output
The Place installation creates the Place directory structure, populates it with
appropriate files, and when the installation finishes, a log file and two properties files
are generated.
If the installation resulted in issues, see Troubleshooting Installation Issues.
Installing Place Using the Graphical Oracle Installer
If you prefer to use a guided user interface, you can use the graphical Oracle Installer.
To install Place using the Oracle Installer:
1. Ensure that you have completed "Setting Up Your Installation Properties File" on
page 5-3.
2. Ensure that your application server software is running.
3. If you are viewing the installer from a Windows client:
■ On the Windows client, start an Xserver program that enables you to emulate
the X terminal.
■ On the application server, set the display for the Windows client where you
want the Oracle Installer to display as follows:
export DISPLAY=<IP address>:0.0
4. From your application server machine, enter the following command:
-p <path-to- install.properties> Optional. Specifies an alternate path to the install.properties
file. Defaults to ./install.properties.
-l, --log-config Optional. Specifies an alternate log4j configuration file (to
change the verbosity level or the log file output location).
Defaults to ./Install/conf/log4j.properties. The log4j log file
is used for troubleshooting.
-y | -n Optional. Specifies whether or not to overwrite existing files.
Defaults to -y (overwrite).
-d <XML path> Optional. Specifies an alternate path to the XML install
scripts. Defaults to ./InstallScripts.
-x <filename.xml> Optional. Specifies an alternate XML install script file within
the ./InstallScripts directory.
-i, --websphere | -b, --weblogic Optional. For specifying your application server.
-h Optional. Prints a help message.
Note: Although you can run the installation without setting up the
installation properties file, ensure that you set up the installation
properties file, and then start the installation.
