1. The document outlines the steps to install Oracle SOA 12c including installing the prerequisite software, Oracle Fusion Middleware infrastructure, SOA suite, Repository Creation Utility (RCU), and creating a new SOA domain. 2. Key steps include unzipping installation files, running Oracle Universal Installer, configuring the SOA domain, and validating the domain creation by starting the required processes and logging into the WebLogic portal. 3. Successful completion is verified by components being registered in the database and being able to access the domain using provided URLs.

1. 1. pre-requisites
lets target our installation in /u03 mount & make sure mount should have 'oracle'
permission:
Note: /media/sf_SOA_softwares, mount should have oracle permission, if not please
work out as shown
Place required software in /media/sf_SOA_softwares
Note: location is dynamic with provided specifications
Software Movement
Move all software to /u03/app/stage/SOA12c, as we will install from this location
Please create the directory structures if needed, setup .bash_profile
$ vi .bash_profile

2. execute .bash_profile to apply settings and validate bash_profile to check if
setting s are applied
2. Installation
#sudo su oracle, root install 'java development kit'
rpm -Uvh /u03/app/stage/SOA12c/jdk-7u55-linux-x64.rpm
Unzip the infrastructure file from its respective location
SOA12c]$ unzip V44416-01.zip
Archive: V44416-01.zip
inflating: fmw_12.1.3.0.0_infrastructure.jar
SOA12c]$ java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_infrastructure.jar

13_03-48-05PM
After validation Oracle Universal
installation will be kicked-off
Provide inventory location as
below
'/u03/app/oracle/inventory'
Welcome Screen
Click NEXT
Provide the desired oracle home
location:
'/u03/app/oracle/product/12.1.3/
fmw'
Then click NEXT

4. Select fusion middleware
infrastructure then click on NEXT
Installation will validate java
version & OS certification, once it
is successful then click NEXT
Basically this screen will ask you to
sign up for any alerts from oracle.
which we may not need at this
scenario
Click NEXT

5. So for the same reason we would
un check the box then click on
NEXT
we will encounter with a warning
message when you uncheck the
box. so, we shouldn't worry.
click on 'YES'.. & go ahead
click on NEXT..
Here.. in this slide we can go-
through the summary of the
installation which happens in next
slide & also it provides us an
option to save response file for
future purposes
Click on INSTALL

6. This screen displays the progress of
installation & which should reach
100% without any errors to
proceed further
Click on NEXT
An successful installation can be
seen in this screen
Click on FINISH
3. SOA Installation
Now, as we installed infrastructure let's go ahead with SOA installation
Our first step would be to unzip V44420-01.zip file under '/u03/app/stage/SOA12c'
oracle@soabpm-vm SOA12c]$ ls -lrt
total 4616348
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 122656363 Mar 21 2014 jdk-7u55-linux-x64.rpm

[oracle@soabpm-vm SOA12c]$ unzip V44420-01.zip
Archive: V44420-01.zip
inflating: fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa.jar
oracle@soabpm-vm SOA12c]$ java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa.jar
provide above syntax to start Oracle Universal Installer which should help us to
complete SOA installation
oracle@soabpm-vm SOA12c]$ java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa.jar
Launcher log file is /tmp/OraInstall2015-09-13_08-39-05PM/launcher2015-09-13_08-

4. Repository Create Utility Installation
Note:
before we move ahead with RCU, please make sure DB is up & running along with
listener, unless which it will turn as showstopper
Get into RCU location then...
cd /u03/app/oracle/product/12.1.3/fmw/oracle_common/bin/
When "./rcu" is given an Oracle universal installer will be displayed for further
process
[oracle@chef1 ~]$ cd /u03/app/oracle/product/12.1.3/fmw/oracle_common/bin/

Welcome screen !
Enter the database details same as
screen print given..
Note: DB details are respective to ENV
Then click on NEXT
Here RCU will look for few global
requisites and below warning is

details. please check the screen print
for more information
Click on CREATE
Repository system load is in progress..
You need not click on anything but it will
take you another window once load is
completed successfully
We successfully completed RCU !!!
Now we have RCU in place, so we need to validate if all components are
successfully registered in database.. to find out those... use below command in
database
SQL> select comp_name, version from schema_version_registry;
Beside screen should be your output, if all went well !

5. DOMAIN Creation
Oracle recommends that you set the umask to 027 on your system prior to
installation. This ensures that file permissions will be set properly during installation.
~]$ umask 027
Now to kick-off domain creation, need to change directory
~]$ cd /u03/app/oracle/product/12.1.3/fmw/oracle_common/common/bin
[oracle@chef1 bin]$ ls -lrt

16. $ ./config.sh
Mentioned screen will be invoked to
create a new domain
Click on NEXT
Select the templates which are required
for further installation (you can find out
required templates information in next
screen print)
Now.. please check the boxes shown in
screen print and click on NEXT
Provide the application location

a12c_domain1
Click on NEXT

17. create username & password for
WebLogic server
Click on NEXT
Please select the ENV & check the
correct java version
Then click NEXT
Now let's cross check if all the Database
details are correct before we process
RCU
So, when clicked on "get RCU
configuration" one should see successful
test results
Then click on NEXT

18. Provide all the DB details to validate the
connections
Click on NEXT
It will check the component schemas &
their connections
Click on NEXT
Provide your hostname at listen address
and admin server name
Click on NEXT
Create NODE MANAGER credentials
Click on NEXT

19. Provide the managed server name
along with listen address
Then click on NEXT
Provide the cluster name if applicable
Click on NEXT
Move all servers under clusters from left
to right
Click on NEXT
If you planned for coherence then
provide details
Click. on NEXT

20. Select UNIX machine tab & provide
name and node manager listen address
Click on NEXT
Assign servers to machines which we
configured above
From left to right
Click on NEXT
You can go-thru the configuration
summary then click on create button
Then configuration will progress & will
reach to 100%
Click on NEXT

21. So, if all the process and installation goes well... we will see URLS like screen print
Start weblogic & nodemanager servers
[oracle@wls12c-node1 oracle]$ nohup $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startNodeManager.sh
>/dev/null 2>&1 &
#Starting Administration Console (WLS0_ADM managed server):
[oracle@wls12c-node1 oracle]$ nohup $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startWebLogic.sh
>/dev/null 2>&1 &
If node manager & WebLogic servers starts up successfully, you can use URL to login

22. into WebLogic portal
We done with setup!!!
