Introduction
This guide documents the steps necessary to install Stat version 5.6.0 on either an
Oracle or a Microsoft SQL Server database. The guide is divided into eight sections.
Section 1: Unpacking the 5.6.0 Installer
Section 2: Installing the Stat Database
Section 3: Creating a Staging Database (PeopleSoft Only)
Section 4: Installing the Stat Client
Section 5: Configuring the Stat Database
Section 6: Installing the Stat Central Agent
Section 7: Installing the Stat Oracle Agent (Oracle E-Business Suite only)
Section 8: Implementing Stat
The sections are listed in the order that they need to be performed. The Stat Installation
CD contains the scripts that are used to build the Stat database. The database must exist
in order to do configurations.
This document assumes the user has a working knowledge of Stat and access to the user
manuals, especially the book, Stat 5.6.0: System Administration. The section
Configuring the Stat Database on page 20 assumes that data is being created in the
new Stat database. However, the instructions could be applied to any Stat database.

After loading the Java classes, you need to recompile invalid PL/SQL modules in the
database by running the script, utlrp.sql located in the <ORACLE_HOME>/rdms/admin
directory.
Note Each Stat client that will use the object compare feature for developer objects must be
properly configured. For more information, see the section, Oracle Developer Object
Compare Support: Stat Client on page 19. Also, for users that plan to compare form library
files that have attached libraries, there are special configuration steps that must be
performed. For more information, see the section, Object Compare Support for Form
Library Files on page 64.

However, you may select an alternative Oracle client by creating a batch file, for
example:
set path=D:\oracle\non_default_oracle_client\BIN;%path%
start stat.exe
This configures Stat to connect to the non-default Oracle client and allows other
applications to connect to the version that is defined by ORACLE_HOME, even if that
version is not supported by Stat, such as Oracle 8.

1 Locate the NMSSv560-1.sql script.
2 Find and replace the bracketed variables with the appropriate values.
Replace [DATABASENAME] with the name of the database (the name used
on the system that connects to the database).
Replace [DBdirectory] with the entire path information for the database
(Example: D:\Mssql\data).
Replace [LOGdirectory] with the entire path information for the log
(Example: E:\Mssql\log)
Note If the Stat database is being installed on MS SQL Server and the script syntax is checked
before running script #1 (before the database is created), error messages will appear that
can be ignored. This is because the database is being created in the same script as the
USE [DATABASENAME] statements.
NMSSv560-2.sql
1 Locate the NMSSv560-2.sql script.
2 Find and replace the bracketed variables with the appropriate values.

For each staging database you define in Stat, make sure the Reload Last Project at
Startup option is deselected for that database in PeopleSoft App Designer. Stat may
have difficulty auto-migrating objects from the staging database if this option is selected.
When migrating archive sets, the base language of the staging database must be the
same as the base language of the environment that the archive set came from (i.e., the
source). The base language option is specified in the PeopleSoft Environment
Connection Maintenance table. For more information, see Stat 5.6.0: System
Administration, Chapter 4, General Maintenance Tables.

Network Installation
Stat can be installed in one primary network location that users can access remotely.
Remote users must install certain files on their individual workstations to run Stat from
the primary location.
Note Both the network installation of Stat and the installation of files on the workstations of
remote users must be performed by an administrator.
To install Stat on a network, run the Stat client install program at the designated network
location and select either the Complete installation option, or select the Custom install
option with the Network Installation component.
After the Stat client has been installed on the primary network location (referred to as
<STAT_HOME>), do the following on the workstation of each remote user:
1 Map a drive to the primary location of Stat.
2 Navigate to <STAT_HOME>/netinstall on the primary location.
3 Run Setup.exe.
Required third party OCX files are loaded to the user's workstation with a
shortcut to Stat on the primary location.
The stat.ini file and spelling dictionaries are loaded to individual user's
workstations:
For Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Quest Software\Stat\5.x.x (where 5.x.x is the version being installed)
For Windows Vista and higher - C:\Program Data\Quest Software\Stat\5.x.x.
A blank stat.ini is loaded to this location, or, if Stat was previously installed on a
lower version, a copy of that stat.ini is moved here.

Autorun opens the stat_server folder, which contains the subfolder, standalone.
4 Open the standalone folder, locate the file stat_standalone.zip and unzip to the
desired location on the host machine where you want to install the Stat Central
Agent.
An example for Windows might be c:\stat; on Unix, this might be /usr/local. The
location you choose for the installation is referred to as <STAT_HOME>. Use
Winzip to unpack the file on Windows or the unzip utility on Unix.
Note Do not unzip the file stat_standalone.zip to a directory that contains an exclamation
point character (!). Also, if copying the installation files to a Unix system, be sure the
file transfer settings are set to 'binary' as opposed to 'ascii. Also, for Unix use the -a
modifier to unzip the file.
To run the Stat Central Agent as a Windows Service instead, see Configuring the
Stat Central Agent as a Windows Service on page 35. We recommend that you
first configure and test the agent before creating the service.
6 Preview and implement any configuration changes required by your enviornment.
These issues are documented in the section Configuring the Stat Central Agent
on the Standalone Platform on page 28. Note that while you can address some
configuration issues after you have completed installing the Stat Central Agent,
you should address others before you proceed to the next step in the installation.
These particular issues are documented in the subsection Before Starting the Stat
Central Agent.
7 Start the Stat Central Agent:
Windows:
<STAT_HOME>\app\bin\run.bat

Note If you have port conflicts during startup, the server will display one or more error
messages. For instructions on resolving port conflicts, see the section, Resolving
Port and Firewall Conflicts on page 31.
In the server console, you will see the line, Stat Configuration Assistant is
ready.
9 Open your internet browser and go to http://<stat_server_host_machine>:8080/
stat-config.
This opens the Configuration Assistant which guides you through the process of
configuring the Stat database and the database type-mapping.
Caution If you are not running the agent from the local machine (i.e. Telnet session), you
must add the IP address to <STAT_HOME>/config/stat-config.properties or you
will not have access to the Configuration Assistant. See the section Authorize
Access to the Configuration Page on page 29.

1 ports-default
2 ports-01
3 ports-02
4 ports-03
The ports in use by the Stat Central Agent are listed below. The first, called portsdefault, contains the default ports used in a standard agent installation. The second, or
ports01, contains a variant definition of ports that could be used if there are conflicts
with the ports defined in the default, or could be used for a second agent. The third and

Note For Oracle E-Business Suite users, communication between the Stat Central Agent and the
Stat Oracle Agents is conducted through JBoss Messaging. This may lead to port conflicts
on the 4457 series of ports (4457,4557, 4657, 4757). See JBoss Messaging Ports below
for more information.
Port Configurations
Stat 5.6.0
Install Notes
33
When other applications are using the same port as the Stat Central Agent, you need to
change which port configuration is referenced in the file bindings-jboss-beans.xml.
1 Review the port configurations described above and designate which to use for
this installation.
2 Open <STAT_HOME>\app\server\default\conf\bindingservice.beans\META-
<parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default}</parameter>
<!-- Provides management tools with a ProfileService ManagementView
interface to the SBM and its components -->
<bean name="ServiceBindingManagementObject"
class="org.jboss.services.binding.managed.ServiceBindingManagementObject">
<constructor>
<!-- The name of the set of bindings to use for this server -->
<parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default}</parameter>
4 Change the setting to jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default>ports-01, or
ports-02, or ports-03.
Note As always, when you modify an .xml file, be sure that there is only one copy of it in the
directory when you are finished. Do not rename the old copy and leave it in that directory.
Firewall Timeout
For a firewall that closes the idle JMS Connections after x amount of time (for example,
1 hour), you need to modify two xml files:
1 Open the file <STAT_HOME>/server/default/deploy/messaging.sar/remoting-
bisocket-service.xml.
2 Select the following code:
<attribute name="numberOfCallRetries" isParam="true">1</attribute>
<attribute name="pingFrequency" isParam="true">214748364</attribute>
<attribute name="pingWindowFactor" isParam="true">10</attribute>

started. JBoss uses anything in the range between 1001 and 65000+ for this random
port.
The anonymous port will cause issues for customers with firewalls. But it is possible to
designate a fixed port.
1 Open the file <STAT_HOME>\app\server\default\deploy\messaging\remoting-
bisocket-service.xml.
2 Find the following segment near the bottom of the file:
<!-- Use these parameters to specify values for binding and connecting
control connections to work with your firewall/NAT configuration
<attribute name="secondaryBindPort">xyz</attribute>
<attribute name="secondaryConnectPort">abc</attribute>
-->
This segment is commented out as designated by the arrows <!-- and -->.
3 Designate a specific port number to expose the secondaryBindPort.
If designating port 12345, for example, your modified segment should look like
this:
<!-- Use these parameters to specify values for binding and connecting
control connections to work with your firewall/NAT configuration -->
<attribute name="secondaryBindPort">12345</attribute>
<!-- <attribute name="secondaryConnectPort">abc</attribute>
-->
Note If your site has more than one Stat Central Agent running on the same server, when you
change from ports-default to ports-01/02/03 for the second server, you should designate a
different secondaryBindPort for the second server.

This creates a run.log file in <STAT_HOME>\app\bin (replaces wrapper.log) and
also creates a lock file called .r.lock in the bin directory which is removed when
service is stopped.
Note The run.log file is persistent. You should monitor the size of this file while running as

Note For connectivity to DB2 databases on AIX, the Stat Central Agent requires that you install
the 32-bit version of the driver, as opposed to the mixed 32/64-bit driver.
When DB2 connectivity is installed and has been verified for the system which will be
running the Agent, you need to install a library to a location in <STAT_HOME> so the
Stat Central Agent can connect to DB2 and perform object archives and migrations.
The Stat Central Agent must already be installed and otherwise setup in
<STAT_HOME>. The default DB2 installation directory for a Win32 system is
C:\Program Files\SQLLIB (referred to as %DB2HOME%). Copy the file
%DB2HOME%\java\db2java.zip to <STAT_HOME>\app\server\default\lib.
For PeopleSoft users running on early versions of DB2, verify that you are running
JDBC2 for DB2, which is required to successfully migrate certain object types such as
Records and Components.

need to be defined by the user. The syntax for all parameters is name:value pair.
Comments begin with a # character and end with the end of the line.
The following table lists all valid parameters. Some parameters apply to all instances of
an agent (e.g. parameters to identify the Stat Repository), while others apply to each
instances of an agent (e.g. parameters specific for an Oracle E-Business Suite
environment).
Parameters prefixed with stat apply to all instances of an agent and should only be

<ENV>.servername
(optional parameter)
This parameter defines the logical servername for <ENV> environment. When this
parameter is not used, the Stat Oracle Agent uses the physical servername and
environment code to identify itself with the Stat repository. This parameter can be used
with HA architectures that require a virtual hostname.
<ENV>.shutdown_services
When applying E-Business patches, all services will be stopped before the patch apply
starts. Stat will wait for a response from each server indicating it is down. This
parameter indicates the amount of time Stat should wait for services to shutdown. If that
time is exceeded without response from the service, Stat will assume that it is down.
<ENV>.CONTEXT_FILE
The Oracle Agent resolves product top environment variables using the context file
defined by this parameter. The context file is an XML file used by AutoConfig normally
located in the $APPL_TOP/admin directory. The parameter value should be a fully
qualified file name for the context file. When the agent needs the value for a product top
variable, it checks the following in the order listed:
The <env>.env.<productTop> parameter in the stat.conf configuration file for the
Oracle Agent.
If the <env>.env.CONTEXT_FILE agent configuration parameter is set, the
value is parsed from the context file.
The environment file defined by the <env>.env.APPLFENV agent configuration
parameter is parsed for the value.
The adovars file is parsed for the value.
Note This parameter is required for Release 12 and recommended for 11.5.10 and higher since
the environment file will no longer explicitly set product top variables.
<ENV>.maintmode_timeout

default is 5 minutes
Note This parameter is applicable before an event is processed, while the parameter
<env>.event_timeout is applicable after an event is processed.
<ENV>.maintmode_script
(optional parameter)
This parameter can be used to specify a script to enable/disable maintenance mode. The
Oracle Agent on the database server will pass a single parameter, ENABLE to enable
maintenance mode and DISABLE to disable maintenance mode. If the script
specified by this parameter has a .sql file extension, it will be executed with sqlplus.
Otherwise, the script specified by this parameter will be executed as a command. If this
parameter is not defined, the Oracle Agent will use the FND_APPS_MODE_UTIL
package by default to enable/disable maintenance mode.
Note Only the agent on the database server will enable/disable maintenance mode. In multi-node
environments, the other agents monitor the profile option Applications Maintenance Mode
to determine the state for the environment.
<ENV>.DB_ORACLE_HOME
(optional parameter)
Configures the Stat Oracle Agent to use the specified path for sqlplus.
<ENV>.event_timeout
(optional parameter)
If maintenance mode is used when applying patches, rolling back patches or migrating
custom objects in multi-node environments, an agent will wait until all other agents
have finished processing the event before maintenance mode is disabled. This parameter
defines the number of minutes an agent will wait before failing the event. If this
parameter is not defined, the default is 60 minutes.

if you created an application named XXXGL for customizations to GL, you would add
the following entry to utilize Stat functionality for these custom objects:
Prod.env.XXXGL_TOP:/apps/appl/xxxgl/11.
When you define a custom product, Oracle requires that you create certain directories
and sub-directories for the form and report files to work properly with the application.
The rules for other file types (e.g. SQL) are not strictly enforced by Oracle. But if you
want to use Stat to maintain all file types, you must adhere to the Oracle file storage
conventions.
Stat provides support for other file types not listed (e.g. ODF and DRV) that are unique
for Oracle's patching process. Stat inactivates these object types since they are unlikely
to be used for custom Oracle E-Business Suite development.
Form Files
The FMB files for forms defined for a custom product can exist in AU_TOP/forms/
<lang>, <custom top>/forms/<lang>, or <custom top>/forms. When migrating a FMB
file for a custom product, the FMB file will be updated if it already exists in one of these
directories. If the file does not exist, Stat creates the FMB file in either <custom top>/
forms/<lang> (preferred) or <custom top>/forms. The form FMX file is generated in
either <custom top>/forms/<lang> (preferred) or <custom top>/forms.
Report Files
The RDF files for reports for a custom product must exist in either <custom top>/
reports/<lang> (preferred) or <custom top>/reports. The RDF file is generated in the
same directory.

PL/SQL Files
All PL/SQL File objects for custom products must be maintained in <custom top>/

Stat only processes SQL and PLS files in this directory. Otherwise, Stat processes SQL
and PLS files in the <custom top>/sql directory.
Stat executes PL/SQL files against the database using SQL*Plus during migration.
These files must not contain any parameters. If a substitution parameter is included,
SQL*Plus will prompt the Stat Oracle Agent, however the Stat Oracle Agent will not
reply and timeout after a few minutes and fail the migration.
SQL Script
All SQL Script objects for custom products must be maintained in <custom top>/admin/

These files must not contain any parameters. If a substitution parameter is included,
SQL*Plus will prompt the Stat Oracle Agent, however the Stat Oracle Agent will not

Implementing Stat
After you have successfully installed Stat, there remain a number tasks that will need to
be performed before you can begin to create CSRs and take full advantage of Stats
change management and version control functionality. These tasks are performed by
system administrators and mostly entail specifying values in Stat maintenance tables.
Configure Stat
The Stat Central Agent and the Stat client application utilize data stored in maintenance
tables. A maintenance table serves as a kind of template that defines certain operational
parameters. For example, the options available on CSR drop down lists are defined in
maintenance tables. The following subsections briefly summarize the most top level
parameters that system administrators need to define when implementing Stat. For more
information on these and other maintenance tables, see the book, Stat 5.6.0: System
Administration.
Service Domains
Service domains allow you to divide your business into logical units. CSRs can only
belong to one service domain and cannot be reassigned. The Service Domain table
defines all the service domains in the Stat Repository. When first installed, there are no
service domains in Stat. You must log into Stat initially with the System user ID. Then
you can open the maintenance table and define your service domains.

source directories of the application servers or databases, as well as the types of objects
that Stat will support.
Stat features a separate maintenance table for establishing connections to PeopleSoft,
Oracle E-Business Suite, and generic application environments. It also features another
table, Object Type Maintenance, where system administrators define the types of
objects for which Stat will provide change management and version control support.
Migration Paths
Migration paths define sets of environments that objects will be locked across and
control the migration of objects from one environment to another. Migration paths must
be defined before users can add objects to CSRs or perform any other version control or
object migration operation.
Customers
The Customer Maintenance table defines all of the customers in the Stat Repository.
Customers report the problems or initiate the requests that result in the opening of
CSRs. They can be members of client companies or internal employees.
