About anti-virus protection

Phase Forward recommends that you disable real-time virus protection on the application server; it
can have a marked, negative impact on performance. Instead of real-time protection, Phase Forward
recommends that you run virus protection software nightly during periods of inactivity.

Oracle component and patch requirements

Minimum Oracle software components required for the database

When you create the database instance in Oracle, you must include the following components:
• Oracle Text.
• Oracle Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Minimum Oracle database patches required for the database

Note: The patches for the Oracle Database Server and the Oracle Client have been set so that
both the database and the client use version 4 “TSTZ” (timestamp/timezone) files. The version of
these files should always match. This needs to be taken into consideration when applying future
patches to the database and/or client. If a future patch for either the database or client changes
the version of these files, then the patches for both the client and database should be reviewed.

Note for Oracle Windows patches: When a physical machine is more than one type of server, you
will need all the patches that are required for each type server. For example, in a single-tier
Central Designer installation, the machine that both the Central Designer Server and the
Database Server requires all the patches listed under both the Oracle database and the Oracle
client.

Microsoft Windows 32-bit, x86-64, and 64-bit

Install the patches in the order that they are presented.

Notes for Oracle Linux/UNIX patches:
The 10.2.0.3 Patch Set has the same patch number for all platforms. Be sure to select the correct
operating system when searching for this patch on Oracle’s Metalink.
The time stamp/time zone (TSTZ) patch has the same patch number for all platforms. Be sure to
select the right operating system when searching for this patch on Oracle’s Metalink. After
conducting the search on Metalink, multiple versions of Oracle are listed for this patch. Be sure to
select version “10.2.0.3” (except for Red Hat Linux 64-bit – see patch table notes).
Phase Forward supports the Red Hat Linux AS/ES version 5 (32-bit, x86-64 and 64-bit) platforms
for Oracle 10.2 as Oracle supports these. Installation of Oracle 10.2 on Red Hat Linux AS/ES
version 5 has special notes and instructions available from Oracle. Contact Oracle support for
installation details and instructions. The Oracle version for Oracle 10.2 on Red Hat Linux AS/ES
version 5 (32-bit, x86-64 and 64-bit) platforms should be 10.2.0.3 (Patch Set 2 for Oracle 10.2) and
version 4 TSTZ (timestamp/timezone) files should be applied to the Oracle software installation.
The Windows Oracle client contains version 4 TSTZ (timestamp/timezone) files, thus the database
server software should also have version 4 TSTZ (timestamp/timezone) files.
