Step-5: Install the Portal application binaries (Linux)
This section covers the installation of the Portal application binaries. The Portal binaries are installed on the same server as the Oracle database binaries when you install the Standard edition of IT Analytics , which is the most common install. With Shared Service edition, it is possible to install Oracle on the same server as the Portal server (recommended) or install Oracle on a separate server from the Portal. Installing Oracle on a server remote from the Portal server is called Split Architecture.
Typically, the Portal binaries are installed on the same server as the Oracle database binaries. In some cases, a separate server may be designated.
The absolute install path of Portal is represented as <install_path>. Substitute <install_path> with the absolute path of the Portal or Oracle database installation as applicable. If Oracle or the Portal is installed on the default path, substitute by /opt which is the default path.
This section includes steps to:
IT Analytics Portal installer ISO (obtained from the download site)
IP address of the server on which you are installing the Portal binaries
IP address of the Oracle server
Oracle server listener port number
To install the Portal binaries where Oracle is installed:
- Login as root on the server where IT Analytics Portal will be installed. In this case, this is the same server where you have installed the Oracle binaries.
- Mount the ISO image that you downloaded.
mkdir /mnt/diska
mount -o loop <itanalytics_installer_xxxxx_linux.iso> /mnt/diska
Substitute the relevant name of the ISO file that you downloaded in the above command.
- Start the installer:
/mnt/diska/Itanalyticsinstaller.sh
- Determine what Portal server configuration you are deploying.
Confirm whether you want your current server to function as the Portal web server. Enter y to continue.

They can be on separate machines or on same machine. This script will only install the Web Server components. Will this machine be the Web Server (y/n)?
- Enter y to confirm you have mounted the installer ISO.
IT Analytics ISO: IT Analytics Portal Software Do you have this ISO (y/n)?
- The End User License Agreement (EULA) is displayed. Type accept (all lowercase) and pressEnter.
- Enter your domain name.
Make a note of this domain value since you are required to provide this value during the installation of the Data Collector components that collect data from the servers in your enterprise.
From here on, yourdomain represents your full domain name, including its suffix such as .com or .net. (Example: companyabc.com will be represented as yourdomain.)
Note:
The domain name value you enter here determines the URL that will be used to login to the IT Analytics Portal. For example, if you enter companyabc.com, you Portal URL will be http://itanalyticsportal.companyabc.com.
We need to configure machine names and IP addresses for the Portal, Agent, and database server. The portal and agent machines will be called itanalyticsportal.yourdomain and itanalyticsagent.yourdomain Enter your domain name: (yourdomain)
Make sure the domain name displayed in parentheses is correct before you press Enter.
- Validate the system's IP address for the Portal.
Enter IP Address for itanalyticsportal.yourdomain: (N.N.N.N)
- Confirm the entered IP addresses
You have entered: Hostname IP Address itanalyticsportal.yourdomain N.N.N.N itanalyticsagent.yourdomain N.N.N.N database server N.N.N.N Is this correct (y/n)?
- Confirm changes to be automatically made to
/etc/hosts.These names will be set up in /etc/hosts. You can remove the entries and add them to your local DNS later. Would you like to add them to /etc/hosts (y/n)?
- Choose whether to run the database creation script. This avoids the manual step of running create_itanalytics_database.sh later.
You can create the Database schema as a part of this installation or create it later using create_itanalytics_database.sh script. Do you want to create the Database schema as a part of this installation (y/n)?
- After specifying your choice, press Enter .
Java and Apache software components are installed irrespective of your choice specified for the database schema. Tomcat Java Servlet Engine is installed as apart of this installation and it may take 1-2 minutes to execute.
This completes the installation of theIT Analytics Portal. If you have not installed the database schema during the above procedure, see Install database schema.
Make sure that you have created the database and users in the existing Oracle farm when Oracle binaries are deployed on a separate system.
See Create database and users in existing Oracle farm in a Split Architecture deployment.
To install portal application binaries where Oracle application binaries are deployed on a separate host machine:
- Login as root on the server where IT Analytics Portal will be installed. This is a different server from where you installed the Oracle binaries.
- Mount the ISO image that you downloaded.
mkdir /mnt/diska
mount -o loop <itanalytics_installer_xxxxx_linux.iso> /mnt/diska
Substitute the relevant name of the ISO file that you downloaded in the above command.
- Start the installer:
/mnt/diska/Itanalyticsinstaller.sh
- Determine what Portal server configuration you are deploying.
Confirm whether you want your current server to function as the Portal web server. Enter y to continue.
