Installing Place

After you have set up your database and application server, you can install Place using 
the guidelines provided in this chapter. This chapter contains the following sections:

In order to install Place, your first task is to obtain the installation media. You can then 
choose the installation mode you prefer. Whichever mode you use, you first need to 
set up the Place properties file. The installation modes are as follows: 

■

Graphical mode – In the graphical mode, the Oracle Installer displays a graphical 
user interface and prompts you to enter or modify the value of the properties 
specified in the properties file.

■

Silent mode – In the silent mode, the installer processes the properties file without 
any manual intervention. 

The Place application includes a Password Security Management module that helps 
you generate and store encrypted passwords used in the application. This enables you 
to meet the password encryption security policies or laws mandated for your business.

When you start the installation or upgrade process for the application, the Oracle 
Retail Installer checks for the secret key file in the configuration root directory. In case 
a secret key file is not found, a new secret key file is generated. Once the secret key file 
is found or generated, all clear-text passwords entered in the Installer screens get 
encrypted, and then stored in the relevant configuration files and scripts. Once the 
application is installed and running, the application configuration files and scripts 
interact with each other through the Password Security Management Java APIs.

For more information, refer to the MetaLink Note 737759.1: Oracle Retail Password 
Security Management Guide.

Although the options for IBM AIX, DB2, and WebSphere 

display on the Oracle Installer, they are not supported in this release.
