Info

During the Oracle AppTier installation, the installer creates a schema in the Oracle database. To do so, it is required to specify an Oracle user with sysdba privileges. This user is used only during the installation. Precise products do not use or save the DBA user name or password for future use.

During the installation, a Super-user (root) privilege is required on Linux and all UNIX operating systems.

The additional requirements for Web are:

  • When performing an upgrade:

Table 1-12 Prerequisites

ApplicationNeeded DowntimePermissions

J2EE

Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 upgrade patch on its server.

Permission to use the operating system user of the Web/application server.

Web

Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 upgrade patch on its server.

Permission to use the operating system user of the Web/application server.

Tuxedo

If the CORBA Interceptor DLL has been deployed, the Tuxedo domain will need to be shut down for the duration of the upgrade on the Tuxedo server.

 

  • When performing an installation:

Table 1-13 Prerequisites

ApplicationNeeded DowntimePermissionsManual actions

J2EE

Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 agent for it.

The Web/application server operating system user must have permission to read/write from the Precise installation directory (a.k.a. the <i3_root> directory) and all of its sub folders.
It is therefore highly recommended that the Precise operating system user shares the same group as the Web/application server operating system user.

 

Table 1-13 Prerequisites

ApplicationNeeded DowntimePermissionsManual actions

Web

Restart of the monitored application server after installing the v9.0 agent for it.

The Web/application server operating system user must have permission to read/write from the Precise installation directory (a.k.a. the <i3_root> directory) and all of its sub folders.
It is therefore highly recommended that the Precise operating system user shares the same group as the Web/application server operating system user.

To be performed using the operating system user of the Web/application server at the end of the the installation process, before terminating the downtime:
■ Editing the Web/application server configuration files (e.g. server.xml, httpd.conf, etc.)
■ For monitoring a J2EE application the additional actions will also be required:

  • Editing the application server startup script for adding Precise classes to the JVM classpath.
  • Editing the Web descriptor (web.xml inside WAR or EAR) of the application.
