Agile PLM 9.2.2.1 – Part II – Database Node Installation

Following my last post about Agile PLM 9.2.2.1 – Part I, in this post I’ll show, step by step, how to install Agile PLM 9.2.2.1 system.

The latest version of Agile PLM is 9.2.2.2, but it's too much new to install it for production..

I installed the Agile PLM 9.2.2.1 on 2 nodes configuration:
1) Agiledb – Oracle Database server NodeC:\ drive – OS only
D:\ drive – Database 10g software and Datafiles

2) Agileapp – Agile Application + IIS + Oracle AS + Agile File Manager NodeC:\ drive – OS only
D:\ drive – Agile 9.2.2.1 applications + Oracle AS
E:\ drive – File Vault (managed by the File Manager)

** Both servers installed with Windows 2003 Server OS.

This post will describe all phases of database node installation, and next post I’ll describe the application node installation.

The Agile Database node installation composed from the following steps:

- Complete all database installation pre requisites

- Oracle Database 10.2.0.1 installation

- Oracle Datbase companion installation

- Agile Database creation

- Listener configuration
