This is third and last part of installing Oracle SOA Suite version 10.1.3.1.0
Overview of SOA Suite Installation
1. Download and Install Database (I used 10.2.0.1 but 9.2.0.7 and higher is also valid)
2. Upgrade database to 10.2.0.2 (If this is 10.2.0.1 EE)
3. Load SOA schema in database
4. Install SOA Suite
In Order to install Oracle SOA Suite with 10g R2 database you should have database 10.2.X installed (10.2.0.1 for XE or 10.2.0.2 or higher for EE).
Before starting SOA Suite installation make sure you have
– Installed Database version 10.2.0.1(Click on this link on how to install database on linux)
–Upgraded Database to version 10.2.0.2 (only If you selected EE database during installation)
1. Download SOA Suite Software (soa_linux_x86_101310_disk1.cpio) from from Here
2. unzip them as “cpio -idmv less_than_sign_here soa_linux_x86_101310_disk1.cpio”
Load ORABPEL, ORAESB, ORAWSM schema into Database
————————————————————————————
cd /extracted_soa_directory/install/soa_schemas/irca
sh irca.sh (IRCA stands for Integration Repository Creation Assistance)
When prompted for database connection details pass on connection detail in format hostname port_no SID
–When prompted for database sys schema password , provide database password
–Then it will ask for ORABPEL, ORAESB and ORAWSM schema password which you wish to set (enter password which you would like to set. This password will be required during SOA Suite installation)
Install Oracle SOA Suite Installation
——————————————————
start installation by running runInstaller from SOA unzipped disk
cd /full_path_of_extracted_soa_software
./runInstaller

You can opt for Basic or Advanced Installation (For more option and flexibility go for Advanced installation)
Click on Yes for warning message
Select First option “J2EE , Web Server and SOA Suite”
Click OK on warning message
Provide database connection information (This is the database we installed and upgraded in previous post)
on clicking next if you get error message like ORABPEL is not available on specified Oracle Database , Make sure you executed irca.sh as mentioned above.
Provide Password which you supplied during irca.sh above
Provide ias_instance and oc4j instance name
Use this screen if you are using this instance from HTTP server hosted in other machine and want join as part of cluster (High Availaibity)
Click on install and this will take 1-3 hours depending on your system.
Integration of E-Business Suite with Siebel using Application Integration Pack on above SOA Suite (Fusion Middleware) coming soon …..

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI work for a company that needs wireless data collection tool that will enable me to make custom forms on my Blackberry or Motorola phone. It would be great if form can support drop down menus, GPS, check boxes, bar coding and photo capture. Can someone help me with this please?
Atul,
Thanks for this article.
I am wondering if i can have both R12 and SOA suite on a same machine.
Do i still need to install database and webserver ?
I have a test install of R12 with 10g db , it would be great if i can use same to install SOA suite too and can access either of these.
Thanks
Ankur
Ankur,
Nice question, yes you can very well use ebizz R12 database for SOA suite as well. Just load schema soa suite schemas in to e-bizz database using script mentioned in post and then install soa middle tier on separate oracle_home
Hi Atul,
I am trying to install Oracle SOA on a Fedora Core 6 box. It installs nicely until the configuration stage. It throws the below error while configuring Oracle BPEL Process Manager.
I tried searching for the error but no help. Any solution for such a problem?
Thanks,
Uday

I doubt if SOA is certified with Fedora , Kindly check certification matrix
Uday,
the solution in Metalink:
Note:578284.1
The Application Server instance name in $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml does not match the Application Server instance name in $ORACLE_HOME/config/ias.properties.
Edit $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml and adjust the instance name to match
$ORACLE_HOME/config/ias.properties.
Bye
