SOA 11g Admin - SOA Installation Guide

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//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

o    set USER_MEM_ARGS = -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Xmn614m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

·         Configure ORACLE BAM with custom port 7001 (default is 9001)

o    Edit file FMW_HOME/SOA_HOME/bam/config/BAMICommandConfig.xml

§  7001

o    Start Server

o    Edit following file under MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\\servers\\tmp\_WL_user\oracle-bam_11.1.1\\APP-INF\classes\config\

§  BAMWebConfig.xml >> 7001

§  BAMServerConfig.xml >> 7001

§  BAMCommonConfig.xml >> http://localhost:7001

o    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.
