Important Notes
Oracle WebLogic Server installer creates a WebLogic Server Home directory under Oracle Middleware
Home directory. Oracle SOA Suite installer creates the SOA Oracle Home directory containing the Oracle
SOA Suite binaries and support files.
The SOA Domain directory that is created for Oracle SOA Suite contains the Administration Server and
other managed servers that host the various SOA components. A Managed Server is created for each of
the components. Example:
soa_server1 - Hosts Oracle SOA
bam_server1 - Hosts Oracle BAM
Variables referred to as
JAVA_HOME: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.6.0_19 (JDK location)
MW_HOME: C:OFM11g_home (Middleware home)
WLS_HOME: C:OFM11g_homewls_home (WebLogic server home)
SOA_ORACLE_HOME: C:OFM11g_homesoa_home (SOA Suite home)
