The wizard prompts you for the location of the translated software later in the installation. You must have the Oracle Applications Release 11i NLS software available at that time.

You may need to perform additional tasks to finish the language installation. You can register additional languages any time after the initial installation or upgrade.

Click Next to continue.

Step 13. Select internationalization (NLS) settings

The Select Internationalization Settings screen derives information from the languages you entered on the Select Additional Languages screen. You use it to further define NLS configuration parameters. The NLS language and territory settings are stored as profile options in the database. They are configured at the site level when you run Rapid Install. The base language is used for the default language setting and the default territory is used for the territory profile option. Users inherit these values the first time they log on to Oracle Applications using the E-Business Suite Homepage.

The Base Language defaults to American English. If you chose to install additional languages on the Select Additional Languages screen, they appear in the drop-down list as options. In this example, the choices are American English and Canadian French.

Select a base language or accept American English as the default. The "Database character set" and the "APPL_TOP character set" drop-down menus initially show US7ASCII as the default character set. Other compatible character sets are listed as well.

Step 14. Enter node-specific information

You have already specified the top-level directory and the mount points for the RDBMS. Now, you must specify top-level directory and subdirectories associated with the application tier servers. The administration server contains the files and processes used to perform patching and other maintenance tasks.

In a single-node installation, these servers are on the same node, so you can enter all the parameters on the Admin Server/Concurrent Mgr/Forms Server/Web Server screen.

The default sample directories use the syntax of the operating system where you started Rapid Install. In addition, some of the fields are operating system-specific. The MKS directory and MSDEV directory are specific to Windows. Enter the location of the MKS tools, and the location of the Visual C/C++ executables and .DLLs, respectively. If this is a Unix or Linux system, complete the information for Apps OS User (the owner of the application tier file system and technology stack) and Apps OS Group (the group that the Apps OS User belongs to). Accept the defaults or enter new values. The Base Install directory is the top-level directory that Rapid Install will use to derive the mount points for the application tier servers on this node. You can accept the defaults or enter new values. Click Browse to navigate to a new path. Double-click the directory to select it.

Step 15. Review global settings

Rapid Install uses the values specified on the Global Settings screen to identify a qualified domain name and to derive port settings that your system will use to connect services and listeners.

Enter a valid value for the Domain Name. This value, when combined with a host name, must produce a fully qualified domain name. For example, for .us.oracle.com, the domain name is us.oracle.com. The starting number of the port value is pre-set, but you can customize it by selecting an incremental number from the drop-down list in the Port Pool field. There are 100 port pool selections

For example, if you select an increment of 3 from the Port Pool list, the values in the Derived Port Settings will reflect this choice. Use the scroll bar or click Advanced Edit to see the Port Values screen.

Because you selected an increment of 3, the default values are increased by that value. The Database Port (1521) has become 1524, the RPC Port (1626) has become 1629, and so on.

Click OK save your changes and return to the Global Settings screen. Click Cancel to return to the Global Settings screen without making changes. Then, click Next to continue.
