I was able to get the 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle XE installed on Vista 32 bit. When I try to install RAC, I could not go further as it needs a version of 10g greater than what I have installed. I understand that patch needs to be installed as mentioned above, but two things are unclear. Is XE on Vista 32 bit okay? Where is the location of the patch?

Thanks. I don’t have access to metalink to get the patch 6810189. Can you help?

@ Kostik,
I am not clear with your question “is it possible to start weblogic server without attachment to console?”

Do you want to start SOA suite from command line instead of Weblogic Console ?

If you are looking for Starting Oracle 11g SOA from command line then Yes you can start from command line

1. Start Administration Server
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/startWebLogic.sh [startWebLogic.cmd for windows]

2. Start Managed server hosting SOA and BAM

MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1

MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1

@ Ariraj
I was able to login on /em to find root cause of issue

1. Can you see login page http://127.0.0.1:7001/em or you can’t see even login page .

If this is later then check logs under

$MW_HOME/ user_projects/ domains/ [soa_domain_name]/ servers/ [AdminServer]/ logs

and check here

access.log
[domain_name].log
AdminServer.log

Hello Atul,
In the QUick start guide in Configuring BAM and COnfiguring SOA Suite activities, they have asked to create two domains, which creates two domains and both of them have the 7001 port. I have created by following that guide. How can I start both the domains as there will be PORT issue ?
Were you able locate the .xml files indicated in the guide (Page no. 49) QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE.

Hi Atul,

Is there any patch for 10gXE(10.2.0.1) to upgrade to 10gXE(10.2.0.4)?

Any guidence is appreciated.

@ gvrayden,
Check status of em application from weblogic console .

either application is down or failed to start because of some issue (check admin server logs)

Hi Atul,

I must say that your all of the blogs are so useful and informative. Thanks for your support to all of us.

I have installed 11gR1PS2 without any issue or error on Windows XP. I can start Admin & SOA server successfully. When I login into FM EM I can’t see SOA folder in the left left-hand side navigation tree. I don’t see any options to create partitions to deploy applications.

I have spent a lot of time to figure out the issue but no luck so far. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

Nirdesh

@ Rupesh,
You can use either of two options nodeManager (some additional setup is required) or nohup ./[command] &

@ KK Chopra, Disable UAC (User Access Control), reboot machine and then try config.cmd

Are you running the executable/cmd from the from windows explorer. It may be a better idea to run the cmd from the shell by explicitly opening a window. This will give the cause of the error. It seems there is a class path or path conflict in general.

KK…As I had mentioned in my post earlier, this was indeed a path issue.

Where did you install the SOA_HOME? Did you install it under the WLS_HOME?

To fix this

Open the config.cmd file using notepad and go through it line by line and check for path reference and fix it where ever necessary.

KK.. Configuration looks good. Please make sure that you do JAVA_HOME is pointing correctly and

There is definitely a wrong path being referenced in the config.cmd. That may be some class path or may be the JDK path. nothing more than that. Just out of curiosity, did you run the RCU (Repository Creation Utility) before you installed the SOA? If yes, that is good.

Open the config.cmd file using notepad and go through it line by line and check for path reference and fix it where ever necessary.

Hi Atul,

I have done an installation of Oracle 11gR2 DB, Ran RCU to install schemas, Oracle WLS 10.3.3, SOA suite 11.1.1.2, SOA PS 11.1.1.3,Created Admin Server and two Managed Servers : soa_server1 and bam_server1, installed OSB, created managed server : osb_server1.

No issues during Installation or startup, however the SOA console URLs for B2B and worklistapp are very slow. EM and admin console shows everything is up 100%.

Could please advise on this?

Hi Atul,
I installed apps 11.5.10 on oel4. I want to access sql*plus from client.Followed the steps told by u. But getting the same error. So, can u give step by step procedure to access sql*plus?

hi atul… i have an issue… everything is ok with the soa installation…but when i start admin server using command prompt , my command prompt disappears without any error.. wat could be the problem.plz help me. im new to soa

@KAMAL

do you mean RCU?

Dear Atul,

Please let me know how can I install SOA on distributed system environment.

Regards,
Ramesh.

@ Ramesh,
To install SOA in multinode (distributed) check this link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e12036/overview.htm#CJAEIEDJ

Regarding your second question “whats the best plan OID, oracle web cache, weblogic and SOA and content management.”

What do you mean by best plan ? – Question is vague so difficult to answer . Do you want to install OID and content management too in Distributed mode ?

@ ramesh gulgam,
All these products can go to their single machine (under different MW_HOME, ORACLE_HOME)

My recommendation is to install them on different machines .

Atul,

If you could guide me to instructions on how to setup the nodemanager as deamon in Linux that will be great.

I have Soa server installed. In console under soa-infra I see a partion Default. But the status of this partion is showing as Status pending. I waited for long time thinking its loading but still it is not up. I can deploy composite application under this partion in console using SAR file but when i try to deploy from Jdeveloper I get Partition not found.I created one more partion even that is showing Status Pending.

Hi Atul,

I am trying to create a domain but I am unable to type the password.I am working on Linux.

Please help.

For your issue

tried this on the command prompt but no results and error:

C:\>cd C:\Oracle\11gR1\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\common\bin

The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.

I suppose you are usign vista or windows 7, if this is the case then run cmd in admin mode and then try .

@ ben,
This could be because of number of reasons

1. Mismatch in weblogic and SOA version (what is SOA & weblogic version you are using)
2. Unsupported JDK version
3. EM failed to start (check logs in Admin Server under DOMAIN_HOME)

@ Ben,
Thanks for sharing resolution with us.

@ Parthiban Ilango,
To configure cluster in SOA at later stage (not during domain creation) use weblogic console.

Create a managed server (soa_server2) and configure listen address for this to second machine.

Create a cluster and add these two mamaged servers (soa_server1 and server2) in cluster.

Now target all application, Library, and JDBC to cluster. In soa_server1 and soa_server2 configure coherence for failover and session maangeemnt.

One of our consultant can do this remotely and pass on documentation for your team but this will be 2 days consulting.

@ Shashi,
For SOA installation on Linux check – http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e13925/install.htm#CDDDFJEB (Follow steps written as Unix)

For SOA with High Availability follow http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/core.1111/e12036/net.htm#CIHDJGAA

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the valid information..

do I need to mandatory to update .bash_profile on Linux 64-bit OS VM Machine(Middle Layer)
with the following information though my database RAC(Backend layer) running on different machine..

Hi Atul,

i have installed a OHS in my web server and Web Logic in my app server. my problem now is that from the opmn ctl, the services is up (OHS1& webcache1). i can even open the http://localhost:7778 default page. when i want to configure the web-tier, my EM console says that the OHS1 & webcache1 was down. and it can’t find any virtual host. when i try to start the services i get this error:
“Could not get secure socket for host and port 6703. The remote OPMN server is probably not running or the OPMN mbean is not properly configured. See the adminserver log for more details.

regards,
wiyan.

Hi Atul,

I have installed the OHS and registered it with web logic. I followed according to the oracle’s OHS installation guide. After finish with the OHS installation I can open the http://localhost:7778 page(default OHS page).

I plan to change the OHS default page to our page(login page), the port usage, and also proxy the incoming traffic to my web logic applications(configuring the mod_wl_ohs) with SSL port:443 via the Fusion Middleware EM.

Million Thanx for your response.

Hi Atul,

Q: I plan to change the OHS default page to our page(login page),
A: Default page displayed by http://localhost:7778 , comes from index.html from DOCUMENTROOT (Open httpd.conf and search for DocumentRoot , go to this directory and place your login page as index.html)
Note: You can change default page name and location by updating DocumentRoot and Index File parameter in httpd.conf

Q: Does this mean i can’t make the changes via /em? i did tried doing it from httpd.conf but my login page is in ‘.jsp’ and when open the page, it shows all my java script rather then the login page it self.

Q; The port usage, and also proxy the incoming traffic to my web logic applications(configuring the mod_wl_ohs) with SSL port:443 via the Fusion Middleware EM.
A; Are you facing nay issue while accessing /em ? This must be from Admin Server port. If you can’t access em then check if there are any errors reported in Admin Sever log file ($DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/logs)
Q; The Admin server port is it the 7001? i will look into the logs as u mention. i did received can i paste screen shots here?

Thanks a million.

sorry because of sign the warning message is not displayed..
Please find the warning message from bam_server1 log file

Hi,

Does anyone know of any online training online session to demonstrate step-by-step Setup/Installation of Oracle SOA 11g with two node active Fusion Middleware Cluster (SOA). OR can someone help me in setting up the soa 11g cluster environment will appreciate if can share any document, thoughts. Can email me

Thanks

Yes I checked you do cover it but wondering if there’s any session before May was looking for something now.

Thanks

Hi Atul,
It has really nice to read your blogs and found it very helpful for people like me entering to F MW world newly. I have doubt.

I am working on silent installation of Oracle FMW components, I am using the response file approach and Oracle Universal Installer. The aim is to integrate these installation commands to continuous integration tools like Jenkins/ControlTier.

When the installation finishes, the current shell still holds the prompt. I need to press ENTER to get out. The problem is If I integrate them with this tools their flow does not end up, as command prompt does not return. In addition to that I need the returned execution status (echo $?) for evaluating the process.

I have tried launching it in background but did not work, any ideas ?

They say, silent does not require user interaction still we have to press ENTER to exit the console (silent + GUI).

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance,
Bhaskar
