3. Installing a web server
a. Install IIS.After rebooting Windows, verify that service w3svc (World Wide Web Publishing Service) is set to Automatic. If it is not, set it to automatic using the (right-click) Properties dialog box. IIS does not work properly unless this service is running.

ii. For each Web site created for use with a different Outbound Marketing instance, right-click and select Properties.

4. Install Oracle client if your OM datamart is not in this machine.
5. Installing the J2EE Application Server
a. Run the installer and follow the prompts displayed in the installer window. Accept the installation defaults or select options to comply with the standards for your enterprise. At a minimum, you must install the WebLogic server Server component. Node Manager is required and is part of the installation, but you do not need to install it as a Windows Service.
b. Install the WebLogic license. Change the name of your new downloaded license file from license.bea to license_new.bea. Run UpdateLicense.cmd license_new.bea. This peration merges the new license with current license, and saves the results in the file license.bea. The new merged file license.bea will be used by Weblogic.
6. Creating a WebLogic Domain
Note: Perform this procedure after installing BEA WebLogic and before
installing Outbound Marketing. To upgrade to the current release of
Outbound Marketing from any previous version, complete this procedure
before using the Outbound Marketing Instance Manager.
a. Start the BEA WebLogic Configuration Wizard through one of the following methods:
Windows Start menu:
Start > All Programs > BEA Products > Tools > Configuration Wizard
Windows command line:
\ wlserver_10.0\common\bin\config.cmd
Unix command line:
/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/config.sh
b. On the Welcome screen, select Create a new WebLogic domain, and click Next.
c. On the Domain Source screen, accept the default (selects Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following BEA Products:), and click Next.
d. Enter an administrative user name and password in the Configure Administrative Username and Password screen, and click Next. Store this information for logging on to the Administrative Console.
e. On the Configure Server Start Mode and JDK screen, do the following and click Next.
i. In the WebLogic Configuration Startup Mode pane, select Development Mode.
ii. Select the Java SDK to use.
In the JDK Selection pane, select BEA Supplied JDKs, and then the installed version of the SUN SDK.
f. On the Customize Environment and Services Settings screen, accept the default and click Next.
g. On the Create WebLogic Domain screen, enter a unique Domain Name. (The default is base_domain.) Do not modify the path information in the Domain Location field.
h. Click Create to complete the process and create the new domain. The new domain is used as a template domain and is not modified by Outbound Marketing.

7. Installing outbound marketing manager:-

The standard software installation (collectively called the Outbound Marketing)
on Windows includes:
- Outbound Marketing Server, an application server that coordinates user requests for data and reports, returns results in HTML format, and supports navigation between EpiCenter Web pages.
- Outbound Marketing Manager, a graphical administrative utility for configuring and managing the data mart and applications. Because the Outbound Marketing Manager runs on Windows, the Oracle configuration scripts are only present in the Windows package.
- EpiChannel, an extraction facility for downloading data from source systems into the data mart.
- Remote Web Server, a link to the installed Web server.
- Other Outbound Marketing components and utilities including language-specific files.
Note:
- Outbound Marketing software does not have to be installed on the same computer as the data mart (EpiCenter). However, for DB2, you must catalog the DB2 server on the DB2 client machine, including all of the machines in a cluster prior to installation.The installer automatically installs, or offers to install, the following required third-party software components if they are not already present:
- ODBC and JDBC drivers
- After installing Outbound Marketing software on the server host, install the Outbound Marketing Manager administrative utility on other computers to provide remote access for administrative tasks.

a. Log in under an account that has administrator privileges on the local host.
b. Get the AS_win32_nas.zip file for the installation. The zip file is available from the Infor Download Center.
c. Unzip the file to C:\\Install (the default directory), or a directory of your choice.
d. Exit all open Windows applications.
e. Make sure you have installed and configured your J2EE application server, Web server, and database management server before continuing.
Note: For the WebSphere Network Deployment application server, be sure the deployment manager and node agents are running before beginning the installation.
f. Verify that you have the Java 1.5 runtime environment installed. If necessary download and install Java 1.5 before continuing.
g. Verify that the World Wide Web Publishing Service is running. If the service is not running, navigate to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services to start the service.
h. Double-click ominstall.exe in the directory specified in step c
i. A message window prompts you to set JAVA_HOME to Java 1.5 JRE/ JDK, if you have not already set JAVA_HOME.Click OK to close the OM installer. Install Java 1.5 JRE/JDK and set JAVA_HOME. Re-start the OM installer .
Note: If sunjce_provider.jar does not exist at /jre/lib/ext when JAVA_HOME points to a JDK directory, or at /lib/ext when JAVA_HOME points to a JRE directory, then you will see the following error message if you try to install OM:

ERROR: C:\java\jdk1.5.0_11/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar does not exist. Download the file from Sun and try again. Click the OK button in the error window to stop and exit the OM installer. Then, download sunjce_provider.jar from the Sun website, install the file, and try running the OM installer again.
