Oracle Application Server Instances and Instance Names

Things You Should Know Before Starting the Installation

To ensure other users in the oinstall group have access to the inventory directory 
(so that they can install Oracle products), do not use the oracle user’s home directory 
as the inventory directory because home directories might not have the proper 
permissions set up for the oinstall group. Instead, you can put the inventory 
directory in the /opt/oracle directory (for example, 
/opt/oracle/oraInventory

).

If you have installed an Oracle product previously on the computer, the installer uses 
the existing inventory directory. Ensure that you have write permissions on that 
directory. The best way of ensuring this is to run the installer as the same operating 
system user who installed the existing Oracle products.

Oracle recommends creating an operating system user to perform all tasks related to 
installation of Oracle products. See 

.

By default, the installer installs Oracle Application Server with text in English and in 
the operating system language. If you need additional languages, click the Product 
Languages

 button in the "Select a Product to Install" screen.

When you select additional languages to install, the installer installs text in the 
selected languages. It also installs fonts required to display the languages.

For some components, languages are installed only if you select them during 
installation. In this case, if you access the application in a language that is not 
available, it will fall back on the server locale language.

For other components, available languages are installed regardless of what you select 
during installation. In this case, however, fonts are installed only for the languages that 
are explicitly selected. When you access the application, it uses text in your language 
because the language was installed. However, if you do not have the appropriate fonts 
to render the text, the text appears as square boxes. This usually applies to the Chinese, 
Japanese, and Korean languages.

You can install fonts after installation. See 

.

You must install 

all languages that you need during installation. If you run Oracle Application Server 
in an environment that uses a language that you did not install, the user interface can 
display text in that language and/or in English, or it can display square boxes (caused 
by missing fonts) instead of text.

When you install the infrastructure, what you get is an Oracle Application Server 
instance. The installer prompts you to provide a name for the Oracle Application 
Server instance you are installing. For example, you can name an instance "infra". This 
name can be different from the Oracle home name.

You cannot change this name after installation.

Oracle Application Server appends the hostname and domain name to the given 
instance name to form a complete instance name. For example, if you are installing an 
instance on a computer named c1, and you name the instance infra1, then the full 
name of the instance is infra1.c1.mydomain.com, assuming the domain name is 
mydomain.com
