Oracle Fusion Applications : Provisioning Framework Overview
Oracle Fusion Applications Provisioning Framework (utility) is set of executables which will be used to provision an Oracle Fusion Application Environment. This Fusion Applications Framework is used to Provision Transactions Database used by Fusion Applications, Provision Fusion Applications Environment and Install Fusion Applications.\
This is third post in series “Learn Oracle Fusion Applications with onlineAppsDBA.com” check previous post Oracle Fusion Applications Concepts and Install Oracle Fusion Applications in 10 Steps
.
1. Fusion Applications Provisioning Framework is installed using runInstaller or setup.exe (this requires JRE 1.6) from FusionApps_Software/faprov/bin directory
2. During Provisioning Framework Installation, you provide location where you wish to install Provisioning Framework software, all provisioning utility (for transactional database provisioning or fusion apps provisioning) are then executed from this installed location. This directory is known as PROVISIONING_ORACLE_HOME or PROV_FRMWK_HOME or Provisioning Framework ORACLE_HOME
3. After installation you will see following directory
ant – Java processes to install binaries, create WebLogic domain, and deploy application
bin – executable used to provisioning environment
lib – contains library files required during provisioning, stored in object code format.
provisioning-plan – This directory contains completed or partially completed provisioning plans.
provisioning-build – This directory contains build scripts which are called/used during provisioning of an Oracle Fusion Applications Environment.
template – start parameter, single sign-on configuration [read more]
util – Provisioning Utility
4. You can deinstall PROVISIONING_ORACLE_HOME (installed on step 2) by using option -deinstall (similar to your database deinstall)
PROVISIONING_ORACLE_HOME ( PROV_FRMWK_HOME) /oui/bin/ runInstaller [setup.exe] -deinstall
