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

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

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

Kamleshwar,
You don’t have to run irca.sh nor you have to install XE. If you run soa installer on windows vista it will automatically create XE database and load schema so you don’t have to do any thing

@Kamleshwar,
If this is for windows it should not prompt for database installation. Are you selecting advanced install ?

From where you downloaded software and which script you are running to install SOA on windows ?

Upgrade from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 is not supported.

You need to install 10.1.3 and migrate applications from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3

Hi Atul,

I am running into an issues. I have installed BPEL Process manager 10.1.3.1.0 version and using Jdeveloper version 10.1.3.1.0.

When I try to create a connection to deploy my bpel process, the connection test never ends.

Could you throw some light on what I am running into. Not sure if this is the way it works.

Thanks,
Sravan

Hello Atul,
We are getting “some Class not found errors” when we run using su user privilege NOT the root. Does the SOA Suite installer expects JDK to be available already ?

Hello Atul,

We are doing the installation of SOA Suite in Linux VM x86-64 bit red hat 5.0. It has series of steps before we even kick start the installer.
There seems to be
Note.790943.1 Ext/Pub Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Certifications for Installation on Linux Platforms:
But looks bit tedious as even before installing, we have to install lots of patches in OS.
The NOte has 5 pointers. But the number of patches mentioned have not been clearly explained whether all of them are needed to do even for 10.1.3.0.
Have you got any experience in them ?
Our end goal is to reach 10.1.3.4. We thought 10.1.3.0 and then apply the patch 10.1.3.4. But looks like those NOte has more patches for 10.1.3.3. Hence probably we have to move to 10.1.3.0 then 10.1.3.3 then 10.1.3.4.
Thanks

Hi Atul,
is the SOA suite (10.1.3) installer available for windows (32-bit), compatible with vista? can we use the same to install on vista? or can you tell me from where can i get the installer for vista.

@ Yudhvir,
Identify PID (process ID ) of installer and run truss on that PID to see what it is doing.

Do you have enough memory ?

Hi - Another update, I canceled the strace after an hour or so. Log file generated was huge. After sometime, I ran the strace again and waited for 10 mins. I had to kill the strace and SOA installer as it was sitting on 70% for more than 2 hours. See below messages ( last 30 lines) strace log file.
