2.2 System Requirements
Table 2–2 lists the system requirements for running Oracle Application Server. The
installer checks many of these requirements at the start of the installation process and
warns you if any of them is not met. To save time, you can manually check only the
ones that are not checked by the installer. Refer to
Table 2–2 to see which requirements
are not checked by the installer.
You can also run the system checks performed by the installer without doing an
installation, by running the
runInstaller
command as shown. The
runInstaller
command is on the Oracle Application Server CD-ROM (Disk 1) or DVD-ROM (in the
application_server
directory).
CD-ROM:
prompt> mount_point
/1014disk1/runInstaller -executeSysPrereqs
DVD-ROM:
prompt> mount_point /application_server/runInstaller -executeSysPrereqs
The results are displayed on the screen as well as written to a log file. For more
information on the types of checks performed, see
Section 2.11, "Prerequisite Checks
Performed by the Installer" .
