Installing soa 11g in windows 7 64 bit opertating system step by step Installing Oracle SOA-BPM 11.1.1.3.

0 (PS2), Oracle Service Bus (OSB) 11.1.1.3.0 and JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 64Bit
In this post I will walk you through the installation procedure of Oracle SOA 11.1.1.3.0 (PS2), Oracle BPM 11.1.1.3.0 and Oracle Service Bus (OSB) 11.1.1.3.0 on Windows 7 64Bit in a single middleware home including the installation of JDeveloper, its SOA extension and; SOA, BPM and OSB common domain configuration.

Step 1: Downloading Required Software:a) JDK 1.6.18 or higher - 64bit and 32bit both. 32 bit JDK will be required to run You may use JRockit as well. JDeveloper.download JDK b) Database (I would use Oracle XE Universal which you may download from here) c) Weblogic 10.3.3 Generic Installer (jar) d) OEPE 11.1.1.5.0 or OEPE 11.1.1.6.0 (download OEPE ) e) Repository Creation Utility 11.1.1.3.0 f) Oracle SOA 11.1.1.2.0 (PS1) g) Oracle SOA 11.1.1.3.0 (PS2) h) Oracle Service Bus 11.1.1.3.0 i) Oracle JDeveloper Studio 11.1.1.3.0 Generic Installer (jar) j) Oracle SOA- JDev Extension (Oracle SOA Composite Editor 11.1.1.3.0.25.57) You may download Oracle Fusion Middleware components from here.

So here is what I have downloaded

Step 2: Installing Database:Run file OracleXEUniv.exe and install the XE database. You may refer the Oracle XE installation guide. After installing XE, run below commands to meet the requirements of SOA 11g installation -

connect sys/password as sysdba; alter system set processes=500 scope=spfile;

shutdown immediate; startup;

Note that SOA requires 300 processes and BAM requires more 100 processes (total 400) which is additional to any other requirement, hence I assigned 500 to processes parameter. In above commands I have assumed that password of sys user is password. Step 3: Running RCU to create repository:-

To run RCU, go to rcuHome\BIN and run the file rcu.bat and after that follow below steps a) On welcome page click on the "Next" button b) On Create Repository Page select the Create radio button. c) On Database Connection Details page provide the database connection related info

You may be prompted for a version related warning but if you are using XE then you may safely ignore that warning. After successful validation you should see below window

d) On Select Components page chose the prefix and select the components for which you want to create the schema

e) On Schema Passwords page configure the password for the created schemas f) On Map Tablespaces page change anything if you want. I chose the default. After this step required tablespaces will get created in the DB. g) Now check the summary and click on Create button h) On Completion Summary page you should see success status for all the components you chosen

Step 4: Enable XA support in DB for dev_soainfra schema:As in SOA, we frequently use XA, hence it is required to provide transactional management capabilities to SOAINFRA schema. For this grant, please run below SQL commands connect sys/password as sysdba; Grant select on sys.dba_pending_transactions to dev_soainfra; Grant force any transaction to dev_soainfra; Step 5: Installing JDK's:Now I will install JDK 1.6.21 64bit and I assume that my $middleware_home is E:\ofmw11g\mw, so I will install the JDK under directory E:\ofmw11g\mw\jdk160_21 So after installation, under directory E:\ofmw11g\mw\jdk160_21, you would be able to see below structure

After installing 64bit JDK, install the 32bit JDK as well at any location. I installed the 32bit JDK in directory E:\ofmw11g\jdk160_18_32bit We will use this 32 bit JDK for starting JDeveloper as JDev can not be run with 64bit JDK. Step 6: Installing Weblogic 10.3.3:Now we will install Weblogic by running below command from a command prompt java -jar wls1033_generic.jar Make sure that you are using 64bit JDK to run above command. This command will open up the Weblogic installer GUI

On Select Middleware Home screen, select the radio button create a new middleware home and in middleware home path, browse the directory E:\ofmw11g\mw

On clicking "Next" button it may prompt a warning that middleware home is not empty. Safely ignore that warning. On Choose Install Type page select the custom install type. On Choose Products and Components page, select all the components. Now on JDK Selection page, browse to the 64bit JDK we installed. Now let the default settings remain at next two pages and install the Weblogic. After successful installation you should see below screen

Now, under middleware home directory (E:\ofmw11g\mw), you should see below structure -

Step 7: Installing OEPE (Enterprise Pack for Eclipse):This is the simplest one. Just unzip the OEPE zip file you downloaded, into the directory E:\ofmw11g\mw\oepe_11gR1PS2 You should see below content under directory E:\ofmw11g\mw\oepe_11gR1PS2

Step 8: Installing SOA 11.1.1.2.0 (PS1):Now we have to install Oracle SOA PS1. To start installation, run the setup.exe inside Disk1. Provide the JDK/JRE location as E:\ofmw11g\mw\jdk160_21 to start installer. On welcome screen click on the next button. On Prerequisites Check screen, make sure that all prerequisite checks gets passed

On Specify Installation Location screen make sure that middleware home path is correct. On Installation Summary screen check the summary and click the install button. You should see below screen on successful installation

On Installation Complete screen review the information and click Finish to complete the PS1 installation. Step 9: Installing SOA and BPM 11.1.1.3.0 (PS2):-

Run the setup.exe inside Disk1 of PS2 installer to start installer GUI. Follow the same steps as we did in PS1 installation (Step#8) and on successful installation you should see below screen

Note that PS2 will install Oracle BPM along with SOA suite in your middleware home. Step 10: Installing OSB 11g:To start the installer GUI, go to Disk1 of OSB installer and run setup.exe Click on the next button on welcome page and select Custom on Select Installation Type screen. On Components to Install screen, select all the components. All pre-requisites check should be cleared on Prerequisites Check screen. On Specify Installation Location screen, make sure that all locations selected are valid. On Installation Summary page, review the summary and click on Install button. On successful installation you should see below screen

Step 11: Installing JDeveloper and JDev SOA Extension:To start the installation of JDeveloper, run below command from command prompt java -jar jdevstudio11113install.jar Make sure that you are using 64bit JDK to run above command. On Choose Middleware Home screen select Use an existing middleware home and make sure that it is pointing to the middleware home we created earlier. On Choose Products and Components screen select each and every component which is enabled. On JDK Selection screen, select the 64bit JDK which we have installed in our middleware directory. Click Next on rest of the screens and start installation. On successful installation, you should see below screen

Now go to directory E:\ofmw11g\mw\jdeveloper\jdev\bin and edit file jdev.conf to change the SetJavaHome setting. SetJavaHome should point to the 32bit JDK location

Save the jdev.conf file and close it. Now run the E:\ofmw11g\mw\jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe to start JDeveloper. Once the JDeveloper IDE gets opened, go to Help --> Check for Updates It will open up the check for updates wizard. Click on Next on the Welcome page of the wizard. Now in Source page, select Install from local file and browse to the soa-jdev-extension.zip file you downloaded.

Click on Next and it should take you to the summary page where it will show you the extension name being installed

Now click on finish and let the extension get installed. It will ask you to restart JDeveloper. Click on Yes and restart the JDeveloper Now you should be able to create a SOA Application in JDeveloper. Here we are done with installation. Now we will configure a common domain for SOA and OSB. Step 12: Configuring Domain for SOA, BPM and OSB:Run file E:\ofmw11g\mw\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\config.exe to start the Domain Configuration Wizard. Select the Create a new Weblogic domain radio button and then click on Next Now select the desired products for which you want to create the common domain and click on Next

Now specify the Domain Name on the Specify Domain Name and Location screen and click on Next.

Now configure the administrator Username and Password and click on Next. Now select the server start mode and JDK and click on Next Now configure the JDBC components

And click on Next to get them configured after connection testing. On select optional configuration page select the components which you want to configure. I select all. Now click on Next and configure the resources as you desire. If you do not want to make any change in default configuration settings then keep clicking on Next until you reach to the Configuration Summary screen

Now click on Create to create the domain. Once domain gets created, click on Done to exit the wizard-

Now you have a ready to use Oracle SOA-BPM-OSB 11g setup on Windows 7 64Bit operating system.
