Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g R2

Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g installation is broadly covered in 5 steps

1. Create Repository
2. Install Weblogic Server
3. Install SOA Suite
4. Configure SOA Suite
5. Install and configure JDeveloper

I would cover this to help setup 11g on desktop/laptop to play around or do development. I have not covered DB installation assuming that it has been already taken care of.

This is my overall configuration:

• Dell 630 w/ Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM
• Windows Server 2008 / Vista 32-bit
• Oracle Database 11.1.1.7.0
• Weblogic Server 10.3.2
• SOA Suite 11.1.1.2.0
• JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0

Step 1: Create Repository

• Start rcu.bat (.sh), welcome screen click next

• on step 1 select “create” and click next

• step 2, provide DB details and click next

• step 3 select schemas you want to create and click next

• step 4 provide passwords and click next

• step 5 accept default values click next

• step 6 summary screen click create

• Summary screen appears once process is complete. click close.

This completes our step 1 for

Step 2: Installation of Weblogic Server

• Run weblogic server installer wls1032_win32.exe. Welcome screen appears, click next

• Create new fusion middleware home directory, click next

• Can’t get my configuration working so skipping it. We can configure it later after install

• Choose “custom” install type and click next

• Deselect “Server Example” and click next

• Select JRockit as default JDK (my preference). Can switch default JDKs even after install

• Provide weblogic server installation directory and click next

• Select “NO” service to be created for node manager and click next. We can create this service later

• Make your selection for shortcuts and click next

• Check summary screen and click next. This will begin installation of weblogic server

• Wait for installation to complete

 

• Installation complete screen appears, uncheck “run quickstart” and click done

This completes step 2, next step is to install SOA suite component.

Step 3: Installing Oracle SOA Suite

• Run soa suite installer by clicking setup.exe. On welcome screen click next

• Once it passes pre-requisite check, click next

• Provide middleware home directory and folder name where you want soa suite to be installed

• Verify summary screen and click install

• Please wait for installation to complete

• Once installation completes, click next

• View completion summary and click finish

This completes our step 3 now the next step is to configure SOA suite

Step 4: Configure SOA Suite

• Run config.cmd form FMW_HOME/<SOA_DIR>/common/bin. This will initiate weblogic domain configuration by initiating wizard. On welcome screen, select new domain and click next

• Select components as per screen and click next

• Provide domain name and click next

• Provide admin username and password. Click next

• Select startup mode and default JDK (I choose JRockit) and click next

• Provide MDS information and click next. This would initiate test screen to validate settings provided for MDS

• Once successful, click next on test component screen

• Check all components on optional configuration screen. We have to do it because I will be installing all components in one server rather than default configuration of admin server, soa server and bam server. This runs better on my laptop. I would not recommend it DEV environment either.

• Provide server name and click next

• Delete both the servers from managed server screen and click next

• Click next on configure cluster screen

• Accept default values on configure machine screen and click next

 

• Move your SOAServer to localmachine and click next

• Check deployments and click next

• Select services on cluster and click next

• Accept default values for JMS Store and click next

• Click next on security screen

• Check summary screen and click create

• When creation completes, click done. Do not start admin server right now.

• Change memory arguments in setDomainEnv.cmd. Easiest option to do it to set USER_MEM_ARGS variable
  • set USER_MEM_ARGS = -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Xmn614m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
• Configure ORACLE BAM with custom port 7001 (default is 9001)
  • Edit file FMW_HOME/SOA_HOME/bam/config/BAMICommandConfig.xml
    • <ADCServerPort>7001</ADCServerPort>
  • Start Server
  • Edit following file under MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\<DOMAIN_NAME>\servers\<SERVER_NAME>\tmp\_WL_user\oracle-bam_11.1.1\<RANDOM_NUBMER>\APP-INF\classes\config\
    • BAMWebConfig.xml >> <ServerPort>7001</ServerPort>
    • BAMServerConfig.xml >> <ADCServerPort>7001</ADCServerPort>
    • BAMCommonConfig.xml >> <ApplicationURL>http://localhost:7001</ApplicationURL>
  • Restart server
• Check all the components

Step 5: Installing and configuring JDeveloper

• Run jdevstudio11112install

• Click next on welcome screen

• Select FMW home and click next. Please remember to select the one where we installed weblogic 10.3.2 and SOA Suite 11g R2

• Accept defaults at component screen and click next

• Select JDK and click next

• Choose installation folder and click next

 

• Check summary and click next

• Installation progress screen appears, wait for installation to finish

• Click Done

• Start JDeveloper 11g, choose default role and click ok

• Click on  Help > Check for updates and then you will be able to get all the latest updates. However if you want to download extensions and distribute it you can go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/update/center.xml (open it in IE) and download extensions for your version. Also http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/update/fmw_products.xml to download SOA, WebCenter, Team Productivity extensions.

• “Select All” or select the ones your want.

• After Installation completes, click finish

This finishes SOA 11g R2 installation.
