The following sections detail the steps required to install the PPS-N software. Section 3.1 details the terminology used for the configuration and deployment of the software. Section 3.2 outlines the assumptions for installing the software. While the system may be configured to run outside the given assumptions, doing so requires modifications that are not detailed in this document. Section 3.3 describes how to install and configure the Oracle databases. Section 3.4 describes installation and configuration of the VistA patches. Section 3.6 describes how to install and configure the PPS-N software in WebLogic. Finally, Section 3.7 describes how to upgrade an existing PPS-N v1.2 installation to PPS-N v1.3, thereby incorporating the VA mandate on two factor authentication (2FA). In order to understand the installation and verification process, the reader should be familiar with the WebLogic console shown in Figure 31. The WebLogic console is a Web page viewable from any Internet browser; however, Internet Explorer, Version 11, is recommended. The WebLogic console is generally divided into two columns. The left column contains the the Change Center, Domain Structure, and other informational panels. The right column displays panels containing additional options or configuration details. Note: With the exception of the and all WebLogic console Change Center Domain Structure, panels shown in the figures contained in this document are found in the right column of the WebLogic console. Whenever examples are given with the text, the given value may be different “For example,” depending on the specific server configuration. When the text, is not provided, the text “For example,” supplied must be entered exactly as specified for the PPS-N application to operate properly. Figure . WebLogic Console Terminology In an effort to make these installation instructions as general as possible for installation at any site, a few terms are used throughout the installation instructions with the intent that they be replaced with values. Table 31 contains a list of those terms used only within this document as well as sample site-specific values for each term. Table 31.
