NOTE:
To ensure that your server is suitable for Aleph v.20, fill out and e‐mail a
copy of the Aleph ARC Sizing Request Form to
[email protected]. Ex Libris has created a sizing calculator that
allows you to do this calculation for your site on your own.
These documents are posted in the Upgrade Express part of the
Documentation Center. Certification of your server hardware is a
necessary step before installing the new version.
If you are purchasing new hardware for Aleph, you must receive
confirmation of your proposed configuration prior to ordering it. Do not
use the sizing calculator in this case. Instead, contact your sales
representative, who will work with you and with the Ex Libris Sizing
Manager to make sure the hardware and operating system you order are
adequate to run the new release. If you have any questions at all about the
capability of your hardware configuration, your sales representative can
help you get definitive answers about it.
NOTES:
If you plan to install Oracle or create the Oracle database without
using the Aleph Installation Kit, you must coordinate this in advance
with Ex Libris by sending an SI to Aleph Support. Refer to the
document Database Installation Requirements for RAC and Single
Database for details on how to perform this type of installation.
Ex Libris offers installation services at a cost to interested customers.
Contact your local office to obtain a price.
This document provides instructions for the automatic installation of Aleph 20
using the Aleph Installation Kit (AIK). The package facilitates installation of
Aleph 20, Oracle 11g, and the creation of an Oracle database.
The AIK includes the following components:
Installation package ‐ scripts and init files
Aleph software ‐ Aleph application and pre‐generated third‐party products
(Java, Perl, Apache, and so on)
Oracle RDBMS v.11.1 Enterprise edition
Oracle database for Oracle RDBMS v.11.1
The Aleph installation using AIK involves the following steps:
Download software from FTP server
Pre‐installation tasks
Oracle database installation and configuration
Third‐party product installation
Aleph software installation and configuration
Post‐installation tasks
NOTE:
During the Aleph installation, two reboots of the server are required: one
for new values of the system parameters to take effect and the other to test
startup scripts. Other Ex Libris applications on the server that use Oracle
experience a short downtime as well when the new Oracle 11g listener is
configured. The downtimes occur during Step 3 of the Oracle installation
and configuration. For more information, see Step 3: Oracle Database
Installation and Configuration on page 19.
This section includes:
Overview on page 7
Preparing for Installation on page 8
Downloading the AIK from the FTP Server on page 9
Configuring Oracle SGA Size on page 10
Overview
The AIK can be downloaded from the Ex Libris FTP server or, in special
circumstances, supplied as a DVD package for customers with strict security
policies.
Customers should open a support incident (SI) in order to:
Obtain the Aleph Installation Kit (AIK) and license
Order an installation based on a contract
Order an installation as a professional service
See Appendix E: How to Obtain a New Aleph Installation on page 41 for more
information.
The Aleph installation is performed in the following standard directories:
Aleph software under the directory /exlibris/aleph/a20_<slot>
Oracle software under the directory /exlibris/app/oracle/product/11
A single log file containing confirmation and feedback on the installation, the
status of each step, and reporting errors is created. This log file is placed under:
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/aik/log/aleph_installation_kit.log
Supported Topologies
The Aleph Installation Kit supports the following two kinds of Aleph
topologies:
All‐in‐one installation – both application and data base are installed at the
same server
TWO‐TASK mode – application and database installed on separate servers.
For more information, see Appendix F: Two‐Task Installation on page 43.
Coordinate the installation of any other kind of topology with the local support
office and installation team.
cd /exlibris
mkdir ftp_from_exlibris
vi /etc/hosts
Figure 1 shows an example of a /etc/hosts file. When configuring the file:
The first active line should be configured exactly as shown.
The second line should contain the internal IP address followed by the fully
qualified name (host name + domain name), and then the short name and
possible aliases.
Figure 1:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.222.22 aleph-inst.corp.aleph.com aleph-inst
The internal IP address can be found using the following commands.
For Sun:
For Linux:
IMPORTANT:
Any changes in the /etc/hosts file should be performed by a qualified
System Administrator only.
cd /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris
ftp ftp.exlibrisgroup.com [<username>:aik ; <password>]
ftp prompt> cd scripts
ftp prompt> bin
ftp prompt> get aik.20.<date>.tar
ftp prompt> quit
Enter the following command to extract the AIK package:

Introduction
Perform all AIK steps in the order displayed in the AIK main menu ‐ that is, first
complete the functions under Step 1 in the order listed. When those functions
are completed, proceed to Step 2, and so forth.
NOTE:
Steps that should be performed by the root or oracle user have a
corresponding note. All other steps should be performed as the aleph
user.
You can exit the AIK at any stage of the installation. To restart the process, enter
the following commands:
cd /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/aik
./ikit_menu
A single log file, containing confirmation and feedback on the installation, the
status of each step, and reporting errors can be found under:
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/aik/log/aleph_installation_kit.log

1. Download software from FTP server
NOTE:
Ex Libris recommends using the suggested defaults wherever possible to
avoid changes.
Enter 2 to download the Oracle software. The system prompts for the following:
target download directory name — The default is
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris.
e‐mail address for the download confirmation message — Enter your e‐mail
address. The default is the e‐mail address you entered in the previous step.
NOTE:
Root access is required to perform the pre‐installation tasks.
Figure 3:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Pre-installation tasks
- 1. Pre-installation checks
- 2. Inserting listener definition to the /etc/services file as root
user
- 3. Change system parameters as root user
- 4. Create oracle user and dba group as root user
- 5. Create aleph user and exlibris group as root user
- 6. Create Aleph and Oracle directories as root user
- 7. Install COBOL software as root user
- 8. Create system auto startup/shutdown script and links as root user
Pre-Installation Checks
This step checks whether the server meets the specifications required for Aleph
version 20.0 installation.
NOTE:
The following system parameters are a required minimum. They can be
changed later according to the size of the DB on the server.
Linux Servers — Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/
sysctl.conf file, and add or edit lines similar to the following. Include
lines only for the kernel parameter values that you want to change. For the
semaphore parameters (kernel.sem), you must specify all four values.
However, if any of the current values are larger than the minimum value,
then specify the larger value:
fs.file-max = 65536
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
Enter the following command to change the current values of the kernel
parameters:
# /sbin/sysctl -p
Sun Solaris 8 and 9 — The following system parameters should be present in
the
/etc/system file:
Sun Solaris 10 – Add the following parameters:
projadd group.dba
projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-
memory=(privileged,10GB,deny)" group.dba
The new oracle user must contain only alphanumeric characters, and use only
lower‐case alphabetic characters. When creating the new user for Oracle 11g, the
utility prompts for a new UNIX password.
If the Oracle 10g/9i/8 oracle user already exits in the system, the utility
prompts for the name of the Oracle 11g user. Give the new Oracle 11g user a
different name than the Oracle 10g/9i/8 user (such as oracle11).
NOTE:
The new Oracle11g user is created with the same UID as the existing
Oracle 10g/9i/8 user.
echo ~aleph
If the home directory for this user is not /exlibris/aleph, delete the user and
then re‐run this step to recreate it with the correct definitions.
NOTE:
Directories for DB installation can be installed on three different mount
points.
This step creates the following directories:
Table 1. Directories
Directory Permissions
/exlibris1/oradata oracle:dba permissions
NOTE:
If the startup mechanism already exists, AIK only updates files in the
/exlibris/startup directory and checks if relevant files and links in the
system directories exist.
NOTE:
You must run step Extract Oracle Software as root User on page 19 as the
root user. All later steps can use either the oracle11 user or the root
user.
Figure 4:
Aleph Installation Kit

---------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Oracle database installation and configuration
Install Database
This step prompts you to enter the following parameters:
location of the database installation script files — The default is
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris.
location of the database media files — The default is
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris.
name of the database you want to install —The default is meta4.
confirmation of the DB files distribution:
location of the database archive files [default is /exlibris]
location of the database system files [default is /exlibris]
location of the database data files [default is /exlibris]
Figure 5 is an example screen shot:
Install database
If the Oracle 9i/10g listener is already running (for example, if other Ex Libris
applications are running on this server), instructions for shutting down the
running listener are provided.
NOTE:
Shutting down the Oracle 9i/10g listener in order to start up the Oracle 11g
listener, results in a short downtime for all applications on this server that
are running Oracle.
The following procedure should be used if there is a listener already running:
1 Log on to the server as the running listener user and type:
lsnrctl stop
The AIK menu takes you through the next steps:
2 Do not close the existing window. Open a new terminal window. In the
second window, perform a shutdown of the other Ex Libris applications on
the server that are using currently running listener (using a standard
shutdown procedure for each application).
3 In this additional terminal window, shut down the currently running Oracle
listener using UTIL O/2 or standard utility for listener shutdown (as oracle,
lsnrctl stop).
4 In the first terminal window, re‐run this procedure.
5 In the additional terminal window, start up the other Ex Libris applications
on this server that were shut down (using the standard startup procedure
for each application).
NOTE:
Once Oracle 11g is started, all applications running Oracle on this server
will operate on the new Oracle 11g listener.
NOTE:
Listener status is available after at least two minutes have passed since the
previous step was executed.
Increase the tablespace size with the Aleph UTIL O/13/2 utility. For more
information on UTIL O, refer to the Aleph System Administration Guide.

Selecting all three is also acceptable.
IMPORTANT:
The first format entered is the main format of the installation.
Update License
This step asks the installer to update the Aleph 20 license files using the UNIX vi
text editor.
The license files are located at:
/exlibris/aleph/a20_<slot>/alephe/tab/license
/exlibris/aleph/a20_<slot>/alephe/tab/license.www_x
IMPORTANT:
This is a mandatory step. If it fails, do not continue with the installation.
For example:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Post-installation tasks
1 In order to add data files to the new Aleph 20 database, you need to get a list
of data files and sizes from the previous Aleph version. Get the list of data
files by using the sdbdesc.sh util or util O1 4 8 as described in Appendix
C: Create Source Database Files List and Sizes on page 37.
2 If the /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/sdbdesc/tmp/src_ts_list.list
file exists, the system uses it automatically; otherwise, enter the mount
points for the database files at the prompt, for example:
/exlibris,/exlibris1.
If you have a remote database, enter the mount points and available space
for each.
3 Enter the first mount point name than press ENTER. Enter the second mount
point name and press ENTER and so on. To quit press q.
NOTE:
Make sure that for every mount point entered there is there is a /
oradata/<ORACLE_SID> directory.
4 Select one of the following tablespaces: TS1D, TS2D, TS3D, or TS4D.
5 For each tablespace enter the size in GB. Only whole numbers are valid. For
each tablespace, the system automatically generates an Index table one third
the size of the tablespace (1GB minimum).
The system prints the data and generates an SQL file with proper
commands.
NOTE:
You can view or change the SQL under ./log file name:
CreateAddDataFiles.sql.
The system executes the command in the background and sends an e‐mail
notification when completed.
1 Log on as an Oracle 11 user and extract the create db scripts:
cd /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris
tar xzvf install_ora.tar.gz
cd oracle/11
2 Execute the install db script and follow the instructions:

Introduction
By default, the database is created with an SGA size of 700MB (the memory in
Oracle Shared Global Area for this database). To increase Oracle performance,
increase this value.
According to Oracle directives, the cumulative amount of SGA sizes for all
running databases on the server should be less than server RAM / 3. So,
according to SGA sizes defined for all the present databases, as well as the
server RAM, you can increase the DB SGA.
1 Log on as the oracle user.
2 Enter the following commands to check the SGA size for database
<DB_NAME>. In the following example, the SGA size for the connected
database is 700 MB:
1 To increase SGA size to 2000 MB (for example) for database <DB_NAME> for
Oracle 11, type the following, as the oracle user:
2 Restart the database by entering the following commands:
In this case, change the relevant OS memory parameter as the root user and run
the following:
# projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,
10GB,deny)" group.dba
If a problem occurs while setting this SGA parameter, define the appropriate
Solaris project for Oracle by running the following commands as the root user:
# projadd group.dba
# projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,
10GB,deny)" group.dba
When this has been completed, restart the database.
