Release Notes

Pre-Installation Tasks

You must have the base English Oracle Fusion Applications Release 9 installed
before installing a language for Oracle Fusion Applications NLS Release 9. Refer to
the documentation Oracle Fusion Applications Installation Guide, the Oracle Fusion
Applications Patching Guide, the Oracle Fusion Applications Administrators Guide,
the Oracle Fusion Applications Upgrade Guide and the base release Known Issues
Oracle Fusion Applications for instructions for installing Oracle Fusion Applications
Release 9.

2.1 Verifying System Requirements

The Oracle Fusion Application NLS install adds content to the various Oracle homes
in the installation and adds additional data to the Oracle Fusion Applications database
tablespaces. The amount of space that is added to the tablespace varies among
installations because it depends on the volume of transaction data that exists in the
language-based tables in the Oracle Fusion Applications instance. Verify that free
space is available on the file system for the different Oracle Fusion Applications
Oracle homes and your Oracle Fusion Applications database tablespaces.
