This chapter discusses: Show
5.1 Obtain the Management Agent Installer ApplicationTo obtain the Management Agent Installer application:
5.2 Distribute and Unzip the Management Agent Installer ApplicationAfter you have saved the downloaded .zip file for the Management Agent installer appropriate to your platform, you must move it to the target on which you will run the downloaded installer and unzip it. The move process and the file names are platform-dependent as described in these sections:
Note: Some of the functionality described in this topic is to accommodate legacy platforms. Refer to the Oracle Certify System on My Oracle Support for information about currently supported platforms. 5.2.1 Microsoft WindowsUse this procedure to move and unzip the Management Agent Installer.
5.2.2 UNIXThese are the available versions of UNIX:
Caution: Oracle User ID. You must login to the UNIX machine with an Oracle user ID; otherwise you cannot run the installer. Use this procedure to move and unzip the Management Agent Installer.
5.2.3 IBM i (OS400)Caution: You cannot run the OS400 Management Agent installer directly on the IBM i machine. Therefore you must download and extract the Management Agent Installer file on a Microsoft Windows machine as described in this procedure. Likewise, you must run the Management Agent installer on a Windows machine, as described later in this section in the topic entitled: Run the Management Agent Installer.
5.3 Run the Management Agent InstallerRunning the Management Agent installer is platform-dependent:
5.3.1 Microsoft WindowsUse this procedure to run the Management Agent installer on Microsoft Windows target machines.
Note: After a successful installation, the Management Agent automatically starts and connects to the Server Manager Management Console. The resulting newly installed Managed Home can be viewed in the Management Dashboard of the Management Console. 5.3.2 UNIXThese are the available versions of the Management Agent installers for UNIX:
Before launching the Management Agent installer on UNIX platform, you should review these important notes as applicable to your installation and Server Manager environments:
To run the Management Agent installer for UNIX, refer to this section: Section 5.3.2.8, "Running the Management Agent Installer", which follows the Notes below. 5.3.2.1 PermissionsAll files that you extracted from the .zip file must have execute permissions. You can use the chmod command to set these permissions. 5.3.2.2 /tmp locationThe Management Agent installer uses the /tmp location to temporarily store files used during the installation. Before installing ensure that at least 400 MB is available in the /tmp location. 5.3.2.3 Oracle User IDYou must login to the UNIX machine with an Oracle user ID; otherwise you cannot run the installer. 5.3.2.4 Oracle Application ServerIf you will be using the Management Agent to manage an Oracle Application Server, you must install the Management Agent as the same user as the Oracle Application Server. Therefore, before launching the installer you should switch to the appropriate user using the su command. 5.3.2.5 Enterprise ServerIf you will be using the Management Agent to manage a UNIX-based Enterprise Server, you must install the Management Agent as the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server user. For example, valid JD Edwards EnterpriseOne users might be jdeb9, jde811, jde812, or jde900. Therefore, before launching the installer you should switch to the appropriate user using the su command. For example: su - jdeb9 5.3.2.6 Graphic ModeFor all UNIX environments, you should run the installer in graphic mode. 5.3.2.7 AIX and Solaris Operating SystemsBecause the AIX operating system does not allow the Management Agent to be installed as a non-root user, you must install it as the ROOT user. On the Solaris operating system, you must install is as the oracle user. Once installed, you can change the owner of the Management Agent agent using the chown command. For example: chown -R jde900:jde900 /u01/JDE_HOME 5.3.2.8 Running the Management Agent InstallerUse this procedure to run the Management Agent installer on UNIX-based target machines.
Note: After a successful installation, the Management Agent automatically starts and connects to the Server Manager Management Console. The resulting newly installed Managed Home can be viewed in the Management Dashboard of the Management Console. 5.3.3 IBM i (OS400)You cannot run the OS400 Management Agent installer directly on the IBM i machine. Therefore you must download and extract the Management Agent Installer file on a Microsoft Windows machine as described in the section of this guide entitled: Distribute and Unzip the Management Agent Installer Application in the subsection entitled: IBM i (OS400). Likewise, you must run the Management Agent installer on a Windows machine, as described in this procedure. Caution: To deinstall the Management Agent from the IBM i machine, you must perform the deinstall from this same Microsoft Windows machine. This is because only the machine on which the installer runs contains the requisite information to perform the deinstallation. Prerequisite Before you run the Management Agent installer for IBM i OS/400, you must ensure that iSeries Navigator is installed on the IBM i target machine.
Note: At the end of the installation of the Management Agent installer for OS/400, an agent installation directory will exist in the IFS directory root on the IBM i machine. The name of the directory is: jde_home_x_Agent where "x", if it exists, is the numeric value to differentiate the jde_home if multiple agents exist on this machine. For example, the IFS structure for the Management Agent install might look like this: 5.4 Post Installation Steps for WebLogic 11g, WebLogic 12c, WebSphere 7.0, or WebSphere 8.5 Web Server InstancesIf you are going to be managing either a WebLogic 11g web server or a WebSphere 7.0 or 8.5 web server instance, the Server Manager management agent must be modified to use the correct JVM. This section describes post installation tasks for these application servers:
5.4.1 WebLogic 11gJD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications running under WebLogic web servers require that the WebLogic server uses a 64-bit JVM. In order to successfully manage a WebLogic server you must modify the Server Manager management agent to use a 64-bit, version 1.6 JVM. This section describes post installation tasks for these platforms:
5.4.1.1 Microsoft WindowsNote: Microsoft Windows 2008 is the only Windows version currently supported with EnterpriseOne running under WebLogic. WebLogic server is not supported on IBM i. To configure WebLogic 11g web servers to support a 64-bit JVM on the Microsoft Windows platform:
5.4.1.2 UNIXTo configure WebLogic 11g web servers to support a 64-bit JVM on any of the supported UNIX platforms:
5.4.2 WebLogic 12cJD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications running under WebLogic web servers require that the WebLogic server uses a 64-bit JVM. In order to successfully manage a WebLogic server you must modify the Server Manager management agent to use a 64-bit, version 1.7 JVM. This section describes post installation tasks for these platforms:
5.4.2.1 Microsoft WindowsNote: Microsoft Windows 2008 is the only Windows version currently supported with EnterpriseOne running under WebLogic. WebLogic server is not supported on IBM i. To configure WebLogic 12c web servers to support a 64-bit JVM on the Microsoft Windows platform:
5.4.2.2 UNIXTo configure WebLogic 11g web servers to support a 64-bit JVM on any of the supported UNIX platforms:
5.4.3 WebSphere 7.0 and WebSphere 8.5WebSphere 7.0 web servers use a version 1.6 JVM. In order to successfully manage a WebSphere 7.0 server you must modify the Server Manager management agent to use an appropriate version 1.6 JVM. This section describes post installation tasks for these platforms:
5.4.3.1 Microsoft WindowsTo configure WebSphere 7 web servers to support a 64-bit JVM on the Microsoft Windows platform:
5.4.3.2 UNIX or IBM i (OS400)To configure WebSphere 7 web servers to support a 64-bit JVM on any of the supported UNIX platforms or on IBM i:
5.5 Troubleshoot the Management Agent InstallationThis section describes:
5.5.1 Management Agent Installer FailedIf the Management Agent installer fails to complete, an exception screen is displayed. For details, examine the log file located in the Oracle\Inventory\logs directory: Tip: The log file location is displayed on the End of Installation screen for the Management Agent installer. Refer to the section of this guide entitled: Run the Management Agent Installer. For example, the complete path and log file name might be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2011-10-18-02-15-14PM.log 5.5.2 Management Agent Does Not StartIf the Management Agent does not start, verify that the port that the home agent is using is not used by another application. To determine the port that the home agent is using, view the e1agent_0.log file that is located in the root of specified installation drive in the installation directory of the Managed Home (the default value is JDE_HOME). This location is shown on the End of Installation screen when you installed the Management Console. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2011-10-18-02-15-14PM.log The log file should contain this message: INFO: Starting the management agent listener on port 'xxxxx' 5.5.3 Management Agent Dies on Unix or IBM iYou must use the & switch when invoking the startAgent script to start the Management Agent as a background job. If you do not use the & switch, the Management Agent process terminates when the shell is exited on UNIX or shell is exited on IBM i. 5.5.4 Management Agent Cannot Manage Oracle Application Server on UnixIf you are using the Management Agent to manage an Oracle Application Server on a Unix platform, you must install the Management Agent with the same user and group as the Oracle Application Server. Use a directory listing to confirm that this is the case. For example, this listing illustrates that the Management Agent was installed with user=oracle and group=oinstall: If the Management Agent is not installed as the correct user or group, use the chown command to change the owner or group of the Management Agent. For example: chown R oracle:oinstall /u02/JDE_HOME 5.5.5 Management Agent Cannot Start or Stop a Unix Enterprise ServerIf you are using the Management Agent to manage a Unix Enterprise Server, you must install the Management Agent with the same user and group as the Unix Enterprise Server. Use a directory listing to confirm that this is the case. For example, this listing illustrates that the Management Agent was installed with user=jde812 and group=jde812: If the Management Agent is not installed as the correct user or group, use the chown command to change the owner or group of the Management Agent. For example: chown R jde900:jde900 /u02/JDE_HOME 5.5.6 Management Agent Cannot Manage Secure Servers on WebSphere Application Server on IBM iIf you have trouble connecting to servers in a WAS profile for which administrative security is set to enabled, ensure that you have JDK 1.5 installed on the IBM i machine. The Management Agent needs security libraries from JDK 1.5 to connect to secure servers in WebSphere Application Server. Tip: The typical location for the JDK is: /QIBM/ProdData/java400/jdk15 5.6 Deinstall a Management AgentAny Managed Instances registered or installed with a Managed Home must be removed before the Managed Home itself can be deinstalled. For instructions on removing an instance, refer to Chapter 19, "Remove a Managed Instance". You must deinstall a Management Agent running the Oracle Universal Installer on the same machine that was originally used to install it. This section describes deinstallation of the Management for these platforms:
5.6.1 Microsoft Windows and UNIXUse this procedure to deinstall the Management Agent from Microsoft Windows and UNIX target machines. The Oracle Universal Installer must be used to properly deinstall the Management Agent. Caution: You must deinstall a Management Agent using the Oracle Universal Installer on the same machine that was originally used to install it. Caution: If you will no longer use Server Manager on the machine on which you wish to deinstall the agent, before you deinstall the agent you should first deinstall any Server Manager-installed software components. Otherwise once the agent is deinstall you will no longer be able to deinstall those components.
5.6.2 IBM i OS/400Use this procedure to deinstall the Management Agent from IBM i OS/400 target machines. The Oracle Universal Installer must be used to properly deinstall the Management Agent. Caution: You must deinstall a Management Agent running the Oracle Universal Installer on the same Microsoft Windows machine that was originally used to install it. Caution: If you will no longer use Server Manager on the machine on which you wish to deinstall the agent, before you deinstall the agent you should first deinstall any Server Manager-installed software components. Otherwise once the agent is deinstall you will no longer be able to deinstall those components.
What you cant perform with Server Manager?Server Manager cannot be used to manage a newer release of the Windows Server operating system. Server Manager running on Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 cannot be used to manage servers that are running Windows Server 2012 R2 . add remote servers to a pool of servers that Server Manager can be used to manage.
