Oracle Service Bus 11s Installation and Configuration

Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Oracle Middleware Home

1. Insert the Oracle WebLogic Server CD-ROM or download the Oracle WebLogic Server Installer from the following URL:
   

   http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
   

2. Locate the appropriate executable file for your system, such as:
   
   • oepe111150_wls1033_linux32.bin for 32-bit Linux systems - WebLogic Server with Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
     
   • oepe111150_wls1033_win32.exe for 32-bit Windows systems - WebLogic Server with Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
     
   • wls1033_generic.jar for all 64-bit platforms - WebLogic Server without Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
     
   • wls1033_linux32.bin for 32-bit Linux systems - WebLogic Server without Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
     
   • wls1033_win32.exe for 32-bit Windows systems - WebLogic Server without Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
     
   The 32-bit executable files are bundled with the appropriate JDK version. If you use the 64-bit installer, you will need to invoke the installer with a supported JDK for your platform. This JDK must be installed on your system before you install Oracle WebLogic Server. Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification document for a list of supported JDKs for your platform:
   

   http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
   

3. Run the Oracle WebLogic Server Installer directly from the CD-ROM, or copy the file to your local system and run it locally.
   For example, on 32-bit systems:
   Linux:
   

   ./wls1033_linux32.bin
   

   Windows:
   

   wls1033_win32.exe
   

   For example, on 64-bit systems:
   UNIX:
   

   JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar wls1033_generic.jar
   

   Solaris Sparc with Sun JDK 64-bit and HP-UX with 64-bit JDK:
   

   JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -jar wls1033_generic.jar
   

   Windows:
   

   JAVA_HOME\bin\java -jar wls1033_generic.jar
   

   For 64-bit installations:
   
   • Before running the installer, set the DISPLAY environment variable on your system.
     
   • Replace JAVA_HOME with the installation location of the supported JDK you installed for your platform.
     
   • Use the -d64 flag when using 32/64-bit hybrid JDKs (such as the HP JDK for HP-UX and SUN JDK for Solaris SPARC).
     
   • Execute JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version (or JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -version on 32/64-bit hybrid JDKs) to ensure that your JAVA_HOME refers to a 64-bit JDK.

To Use Oracle Web Services Manager Policies with Oracle Service Bus

In both production and development environments, you must run the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the schema required for Oracle Web Services Manager.
Specifically, ensure that you create and load the Metadata Services schema under AS Common Schemas.

Installation Procedure for OSB 11g

1. Start your installation.
   
   
2. Click Next on the Welcome screen. The Select Installation Type screen appears.
   
3. On the Select Installation Type screen, choose either Typical or Custom.
   
   Note:

   If you are installing Oracle Service Bus on a 64-bit machine, select the Custom installation type. You must deselect the Oracle Service Bus IDE option.
4. If all prerequisite checks pass inspection, click Next. The Specify Installation Location screen appears.
   
5. On the Specify Installation Location screen, in the Oracle Middleware Home field, enter the path to the Oracle Middleware Home installed on your system. Ensure that Oracle WebLogic Server is already installed on the system in the same Middleware Home. This directory is the same as the Oracle Middleware Home directory created in the Oracle WebLogic Server installation.
   
6. In the Oracle Home Directory field, enter a name for the Oracle Home folder that will be created under your Middleware Home.
   
   
7. In the WebLogic Server Location field, enter the path to the Oracle WebLogic Server installed on your machine. By default, this directory under your Middleware Home is named wlserver_10.3.
