Installing SOA Suite, cheatsheet

After installing OracleXE 10g Express Edition,
run SQLPlus
conn system/oracle (or whatever password)
show parameter processes

by default “processes” should be 40. We should make it 300:

alter system set processes=300 scope=spfile;

conn / as sysdba
shutdown immediate

startup

conn / as sysdba

show parameter sga

(sga_target should be 768MB)
alter system set sga_target=350M scope=spfile;
alter system set sga_max_size=350M scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate
startup

INSTALLATION WEBLOGIC WLS

Make sure you have a JDK in C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18

In your environment variables:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
(ou bien
set JAVA_HOME=“C:\Program Files\Java\jre6_64bit”
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
)

To verify, type “java -version” and make sure it's a 1.6

To install WLS:

java -jar wls1033_generic.jar

specify target directory C:\Oracle1\Middleware

INSTALLATION OSB

After installation of WLS, you can install OSB:
path/to/ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.3.0_disk1_1of1/osb/Disk1/setup.exe

when asked JDK, enter C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18

unckeck “IDE Oracle Service Bus” and “Oracle Service Bus Examples”

as target directory specify C:\Oracle1\Middleware\

At the end of the installation you should have a C:\Oracle1\Middleware\Oracle_OSB1 directory

INSTALLATION SOA SUITE

At this point let's install Oracle SOA Suite:

path/to/ofm_soa_generic_11.1.1.2.0_disk1_1of1/osb/Disk1/setup

Just give same parameters as for OSB installation.

At this point let's install the patchset path/to 11.3: /ofm_soa_generic_11.1.1.3.0_disk1_1of1/osb/Disk1/setup

To create the DB schemas in Oracle, run rcu.bat
point to localhost:1521
username: sys
as role, choose SYSDBA

ignore the warning about the ENCODING AL32UTF8, and the “DB version not supported” warning

choose “DEV” as a prefix, so as to distinguish the tables belonging to this environment

choose
DEV_SOAINFRA
DEV_ORASDPM
DEV_MDS

choose “use same password for all schemas”

accept DEV_IASTEMP as temporary tablespace

Now you can create a domain:

cd C:\Oracle1\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\
config.cmd

choose: “Oracle Enterprise Manager”,
“Oracle SOA Suite”,
“Oracle Service Bus Extension, Single Domain”
“Oracle WSM Policy Manager”
“Oracle Service Bus OWSM Extension”

and all the components selected by default with the above options (JAX_RPC, JRF).

name the domain soadev

choose development mode and the usual JDK C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18

for DB sconfiguration, select all schemas, and set “localhost” for host name, and XE for Service Name, Select “Oracle” as provider, and “Oracle Driver (thin) for instance connections” as driver.

make sure that OSB JMS Reporting Provider points to SOA_INFRA

remove creation of Managed Server (we shall create only AdminServer)

Open C:\Oracle1\Middleware\user_projects\domains\soadev\bin
setSOADomainEnv.cmd

set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=”-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m”
set PORT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms768m -Xmx1536m

do startWebLogic.cmd

For JDeveloper, in jdev.conf you might have to set:
AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
AddVMOption -Xmx512M
AddVMOption -Xms512M
