Oracle Fusion Middleware

After finishing with downloading all the needed component we will start according to the above steps:

1. Run DB setup

2. Run RCU setup

3. Run Application Server (webLogic) setup

4. SOA Suite Installation:

The installation will include 3 parts:

Part 1 will demonstrate how to run the SOA Suite setup, that will eventually create Oracle SOA & BPM components
Part 2 will demonstrate how to configure Oracle SOA & BPM Suites
Part 3 will demonstrate how to start, stop and test the servers

After downloading 2 parts of SOA Suite installation (2 ZIP files):

1. Unpack Part 1 & Part 2 zip files (Disk1-5 folders)

2. Open a CMD window and go to folder ‘Disk1’.
Run the following command:

setup.exe –jreLoc $JRE_HOME($JRE_HOME is the location of the JDK directory (under MW home) created during the WebLogic installation)

3. On the welcome page press ‘Next’:

4. Select “Skip Software Updates” (We currently don’t need any software update) and press ‘Next’:

5. Verify that all of the validations completed successfully and press ‘Next’:

6. Choose the MW home directory, and specify the Oracle Home Directory (you can leave the default – Oracle_SOA1) and press ‘Next’:

7. Leave the ’WebLogic Server’ checkbox marked and press Next:

8. Verify that all installation details are correct and press Install:

9. Follow the installation Progress and verify it complete successfully. When finished press ‘Next’:
(During the installation you will be prompted to point on the location of ‘Disk4&5’ folders that were already unpack prior the installation)

10. Save the installation details (include details like directories, URL’s, ports numbers etc..) and press ‘Finish’:

PART 2

SOA Suite Domain Configuration

The next step will be to run the ‘Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard’. The wizard will help us to create a WebLogic domain, that will contain an Administration server & Managed Server/s.
In this example we will create 2 Managed Server: soa_server1 & bam_server1. Both servers will actually host the needed system component (products).

Starting ‘Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard’

1. Start the wizard by running the file config.cmd under $SOA_ORACLE_HOME\common\bin
(In my installation: C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\common\bin).

2. Choose ‘Create New Weblogic Domain’ and press ‘Next’:

3. Choose the required product that will be supported by the created domain.
You can see Products(SOA/BPM Suite) for Developer and for Non Developer. When choosing the developer option, the product will run under the Administration Server and not under the Managed server.
In this example I choose ‘Oracle SOA Suite’, ‘Oracle BPM Suite’, ‘Oracle BAM’ & ‘Oracle Enterprize Manager’. Note that ‘Oracle WSM Policy Manager’ & ‘Oracle JRF’ were marked automatically as well.
This will create 3 servers:

Administration Server
soa_server1
bam_server1
Note: Choosing ‘Oracle BPM Suite’ will choose automatically ‘Oracle SOA Suite’
Choosing ‘Oracle SOA Suite’ will NOT choose automatically ‘Oracle BPM Suite’

When finish press ‘Next’:

4. In the Domain Name and Location you can leave the default values (verify the MW home is correct) or change it, and press ‘Next’:

5. Put the Administration User/password details and press ‘Next’:

6. Choose ‘Sun SDK’ (both JDK were installed during WebLogic Installation) for better performance, and ‘Development Mode’ for less secured issues (like auto-deploy applications with no user/password obligation) and press ‘Next’:

7. Enter the JDBC details (like those entered when configured RCU) in the following order:

1. Check all Component Schema
2. Enter the schema password
3. Enter the Service name
4. Enter the Host Name
5. Enter Port number

If you gave different schema details during RCU installation, then check the ‘Component Schema’ one by one and give the correct details.

When finish press ‘Next’:

8. Verify the JDBC test connection completed successfully and press ‘Next’:

9. Leave the Optional Configuration checkboxes unmarked and press ‘Next’:

10. View the summery details and press ‘Create’:

11. Verify the Domain created successfully and press ‘Done’:

PART 3

Start the WebLogic Server

1.Go to $DOMAIN_HOME (created on PART 2 – C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_domain) and run the file: startWebLogic.cmd

2. A command window will be open and show the server upload progress.
The following lines will approve that the server is up and running:
…..
….. …..

Start the Managed Server

1.Open and command window.
Go to $DOMAIN_HOME\bin (created on PART 2 – C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soa_domain) And run the command: startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1

(You need to give the server, soa_server1/bam_server1,  as a parameter)

2. On the command window log you will be prompt to give the user name/password. Put the user/password you’ve created in Part 2, on FM configuration Wizard.
The following lines will approve that the server is up and running:
…..
….. …..

3. Repeat the same step for bam_server1

Access Consoles

To access all consoles, use the following URL’s(Put the user/password you’ve created in Part 2, on FM Configuration Wizard):

1.WebLogic: http://localhost:7001/console
2. Enterprise Manager: http://localhost:7001/em
3. BAM http://localhost:9001/OracleBAM

Stop the Servers

1.First stop the managed server/s:
Enter CTRL-C in the command window and wait until it stopped

2. Stop the Admin server
Enter CTRL-C in the command window and wait until it stopped
