Fusion Middleware Installation Part2

Installing an Application Server


All Oracle Fusion Middleware products (except for Oracle WebTier) require an application server on your system. For Oracle Application Developer or Oracle SOA Suite and Business Process Management Suite you can choose to install Oracle WebLogic Server or IBM WebSphere as the application server. Refer to the "System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1" document to determine the certified versions of these application servers for installation on your system. You should be installing the latest available version:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html


All Oracle Fusion Middleware products must be installed in the Oracle Middleware home directory, which can be created by installing Oracle WebLogic Server as the application server on your system. If you choose to use IBM WebSphere as your application server, you must manually create a Middleware home directory in which you can install your Oracle Fusion Middleware products.


The following types of WebLogic Server installers are available:

• OS-specific Package installer—This type of installer is a standalone version of the installation program that includes the JDKs for the selected platform. The installer may be either an .exe file or a .bin file, depending on the selected platform.


Note:
Silent mode installation is supported only for Package installers.


• Generic Package installer—This type of installer is a .jar file. It does not include the JRockit SDK and Sun JDK. You can use this type of installer to install the product on any supported platform on which Java is already installed.

• Upgrade installer—Upgrade installers allow you to upgrade an existing WebLogic Server installation to the current patch release. For example, if you have WebLogic Server 10.3.0 installed, you can use an Upgrade installer to upgrade your installation to WebLogic Server 10.3.4. If a patch release is available for your current WebLogic Server installation, you can download an Upgrade installer from My Oracle Support


Check for the complete prerequired for installing weblogic:

During the installation process, you must specify locations for the following home directories:


• Oracle Fusion Middleware
• WebLogic Server, Coherence (if applicable), and Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (if applicable)

Choosing a Middleware Home Directory

When you install WebLogic Server, you are prompted to specify a Middleware home directory. This directory serves as a repository for common files that are used by multiple Fusion Middleware products installed on the same machine. For this reason, the Middleware home directory can be considered a central support directory for all the Fusion Middleware products installed on your system.
The files in the Middleware home directory are essential to ensuring that WebLogic Server operates correctly on your system. They facilitate checking of cross-product dependencies during installation.


Run the Installer:
You may run the installer in 3 modes:
1. Graphical mode
2. Console Mode
3. Silent Mode


I have chosen graphical mode


Starting .bin Installation Programs in Graphical Mode on UNIX Machines:
1. Log in to the target UNIX system.
2. Go to the directory that contains the installation program.
3. Launch the installation by entering the following commands:





Click Next

Specify the Middleware home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all Fusion Middleware products installed on the target system, including WebLogic Server.
Click Next and enter support information for Oracle and click next


Select installation type

Choose product install document
Screen displays information about JDK and the documents








You will see this message once the installation is complete.

Next task is to install Middleware products in the Middleware Home created just now.

I will be installing SOA 11.1.2 for fusion middleware right now.

You can find the fusion middleare home installed as shown below:

[oracle@fusn01 Fusion]$ cd Middleware/




[oracle@fusn01 Middleware]$ ls


coherence_3.6 jrockit_160_24_D1.1.2-4 ocm.rsp registry.xml


domain-registry.xml logs oepe_11gR1PS4 utils


jdk160_24 modules registry.dat wlserver_10.3


[oracle@fusn01 Middleware]$
