Purpose

This documents lists the pre-requisites that must be in place prior to beginning an implementation of PROCESSIT at a customer site.

PROCESSIT runs on Oracle Infrastructure Technology Stack, and can be installed ground up or deployed as a Virtual Appliance application for VMware.

Hardware must be made available prior to the visit depending on the agreed upon architectural approach and according to PROCESSIT system requirements (ground up or virtual appliance).

Application Software Download

PROCESSIT Software is available for download at ftp.readsoft-us.com. Access is individual and provided by the ReadSoft Project Manager. Get in touch with your ReadSoft contact to obtain access to the ftp server.

The PROCESSIT VA Software Package is approx. 12GB in filesize. If a ReadSoft consultant is doing a physical visit, the package can be brought on a physical disk or harddrive. If the VA is deployed via remote Access or by the local IT VMware team, the package must be downloaded. Due to the size of the VA download, it is recommended to use an ftp client to connect and download the package, for instance FileZilla.

Environment and date

Requirements Checklist

General Requirements (functional and technical)

Minimum requirements for both functional and technical ReadSoft PROCESSIT consultants are:

Initial Application Configuration (functional)

Prior to technical setup, PROCESSIT must be installed and connected to an Oracle E-Business Suite at the customer site.

To setup and configure the application:

Testing document workflows (functional)

Invoice Test Data

VA Deployment (technical)

Access to a VMware Console with VMware vSphere client from a Windows operating system to deploy the machine. This can be done by the ReadSoft consultant or by the local VMware IT Team.

After deployment, this information is neccessary for the deployed machine:

VA Initial Configuration (technical)

Prior to configuration, the local DBA must run the script xxd4_apps_oebs.sql provided by ReadSoft on the Oracle E-Business Suite to create the user XXD4_APPS and give this user grants on the EBS database. Alternatively, provide the ReadSoft consultant with access to and login credentials for for SYSTEM and APPS in the EBS Database

After deployment of PROCESSIT VA to VMWARE, the consultant requires:

PROCESSIT Upgrade (technical)

Ground-Up install including Oracle Technology Stack and RDBMS (technical)

Prior to performing a full ground Up install of PROCESSIT, including Oracle Technology Stack (SOA, WebLogic and RDBMS) and creating a Database (Dehydration Store), the server(s) must be installed and configured with an Operating System.

Required dependencies and patches must be installed.

Ground-Up install, including Oracle Technology Stack, excluding RDBMS (technical)

The requirements listed in this section is in addition to the requirements listed in the section above.

This installation is assumed to be run on a pre-installed database SOADB.

Prior to the install, the script irca.sh must be run as SYS on the SOADB. The script creates the users ORAPBEL, ORAESB and ORAWSM. Login credentials for these users must be available to the consultant. Our recommendation is to use default passwords.

If the local DBA does not want ORAESB and ORAWSM schemas to have SYSTEM as default tablespaces, appropriate tablespaces for those users should be created and all install scripts modified accordingly.
