Oracle Fusion Middleware

On my previous post of RCU installation, I’ve described how to install it on windows OS.
The next installation was made on Oracle Linux 6(64bit), and can be done on other 64bit platforms.
To download the RCU installation go to the below link:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html

Choose the category “Linux 64bit JVM” from the drop down list, and click on “Download”.

Important: Notice that on the current SOA Suite Installation (11.1.1.7) you can download the RCU as a 64bit installation. Not like previous 11.1.1 versions (<11.1.1.7), were you had to download the RCU installation from the “Microsoft Windows 32bit JVM” category.

Follow the next steps in order to run and install RCU:

1. If you are running “Oracle DB XE”, first set the RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS environment variable to TRUE,
before the installation:
    # export RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS=true

2. After unzipping the RCU file, you will have a folder call “RcuHome”.
     Run the installer from /RcuHome/bin:
     # ./rcu

3. Choose ‘Create’ to create new schema and press ‘Next’:

4. Make sure the DB is up and running. Enter the Database details and press ‘Next’:

When running the express XE Oracle DB you will receive the following Warning (Press ‘Ignore’):

5. Verify all checks completed successfully and press ‘OK’:

6. Choose the required components.
Put the chosen Prefix name according to your environment (DEV/PROD for example..)
For Oracle SOA Suite 11g installation , choose the ‘SOA and BPM Infrastructure’. Verify that when
choosing the SOA checkbox, the ‘Metadata Services’ checkbox under ‘AS Common Schemas’ is being
chosen as well:

If you are running RCU with other user then sys/system, make sure you granted the following privileges to that user before creating the schemas:

GRANT ALL ON dbms_aqadm TO new_user WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL ON dbms_aq TO new_user WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT aq_user_role TO new_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON dbms_aqin to new_user WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT EXECUTE ON dbms_aqjms to new_user WITH GRANT OPTION;

7. Verify all checks completed successfully and press ‘OK’:

8. Enter the password for the new created schemas. You can choose to use the same password for all schemas or different password for each schema
(Remember the schema names and password). Press ‘Next’:

9. Leave the default parameters OR change it according to your requirement. Press ‘Next’:

10. Click OK:

11. Verify all checks completed successfully and press ‘OK’:

12. Press ‘Create’:

13. Verify that all components were complete successfully:

That’s it.

Good Luck!
