The Provisioning Wizard (mentioned in the second column of the preceding table)
is a graphical UI tool used to initiate and monitor the installation process. It is the
primary installer that invokes other installers as needed during the installation.

The provisioning framework supports the installation process. The installation pro-
cess has seven phases as described:

• Preverify : This checks for all prerequisites for the installation. This is an im-

portant precheck for the installation to ensure all the infrastructure is in place.
It spans all of the hosts that are part of the installation.

• Install : This is the installation phase. The database and middleware com-

ponents that form the technology foundation for the application are installed
during this phase.

• Preconfigure : This sets up the application for the configuration based on the

response and environment files that have been updated. It is important to
note that during the preconfigure phase, the application install is linked to the
Fusion Database. During this phase, the connections.xml file in all the
application EAR's is updated with the endpoint information.
