Oracle Fusion Middleware – SOA Suite 11g R1 installation

This post covers installation of SOA Suite component of Oracle Fusion MiddleWare (FMW) 11g R1 (11.1.1.1).
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g components (SOA, Webcenter, Identity Management….) uses Oracle WebLogic Server 11g R1 (10.3.1) as underlying Application Server. If you are new to WebLogic Server then my recommendation is to read more about Domain, Administration and Managed Server in WebLogic here

.

Overview of Fusion Middleware 11g R1 SOA Installation

Installation of Oracle SOA 11g R1 is five step process where step 1 & 2 are same for most of Fusion Middleware 11g products (WebCenter, Identity Management..)

1. Install Oracle Database (repository for SOA Suite) and load Oracle SOA suite repository using rcu (Repository Creation Utility).
2. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.1)
3.  Install Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 (11.1.1)
4. Configure SOA Suite (soa & bam) by creating domain – Administration and Managed Server in WebLogic
5. Start Administration & Managed Server (soa_server1, bam_server1) for SOA 11g R1

.

.

.

.

.

1.  Install & Configure repository for SOA Suite
1.1
  Install Oracle Database
1.1.1 Install 10.2.0.1 or 11.1.0.6 Database
Follow 11g Database Installation Guide from here
Download 11g R1 (11.1.0.6) or 10gR2 (10.2.0.2) Database from here
1.1.2 Upgrade Database to minimum 10.2.0.4 or 11.1.07 version
Apply 11.1.0.7 patchset (available via patch 6890831) on top of 11.1.0.6
or
Apply 10.2.0.4 patchset (available via patch 6810189) on top of 10.2.0.1

1.2. Load Oracle SOA suite repository using rcu (Repository Creation Utility)

For more information on RCU click here

.

.
For Oracle’s Documentation on RCU click here
Download RCU from here

.

.

2. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.1)

In this step you use WebLogic 11g R1 (10.3.1) software to install Oracle WebLogic. This step will create Fusion Middleware top level directory (aka FMW_HOME) lets assume this directory as /oracle/apps/fusion/mid
FMW_HOME=/oracle/apps/fusion/mid

under FMW_HOME WebLogic software will create directory wlserver_10.3 (aka WLS_HOME)
WLS_HOME=/oracle/apps/fusion/mid/wlserver_10.3

.

.

3. Install Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 (11.1.1)

Next step after installation of WebLogic Server is to install Oracle 11g SOA Suite, this step will install SOA software under directory Oracle_SOA1 inside FMW_HOME (aka SOA_ORACLE_HOME)
SOA_ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/apps/fusion/mid/Oracle_SOA1

.

more information on installing SOA Suite here

You can download SOA suite 11g R1 software from here
 

.

.

4. Configure SOA Suite installed in step3

Next step is to configure SOA suite on WebLogic Server . This is similar to creating a domain with one Administration Server and two Managed Server (soa_server1, bam_server1) in weblogic.

This step will create
1. One domain under directory  $FMW_HOME/ user_projects/ domain and
2. Configure one Administration Server and two Managed Server (by default)
* It is possible to create more managed server using this step

– To configure SOA stuite, start config.sh from SOA_ORACLE_HOME/common/bin directory

/oracle/apps/fusion/mid/Oracle_SOA1/common/bin/config.sh

Select – Create a new WebLogic domain

Select – Domain Source

. 

Specify Domain Name and Location

.

After this step you will see directory structure like below


.
more information on how to configure SOA Suite here

.

.

5. Start WebLogic Server SOA suite Domain (Managed & Administration Server) :

Finally start domain (Administration Server and two Managed Server)

5.1 Start Administration Server $FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<soa_domain>/bin/startWebLogic.sh

5.2 Start Managed Servers : soa_server1, bam_server1

cd $FMW_HOME/ user_projects/ domains/ <soa_domain>/ bin/
5.2.1 startManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1
5.2.2 startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1

when prompted for password enter weblogic/<password>

.

.

.

Finally access Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g SOA Suite (default web port is 7001)

.

a) Fusion Middleware 11g

http://servername.domainname:7001

.

b) Fusion Middleware 11g Enterprise Manager

http://servername.domainname:7001/em

.

c) Fusion Middleware 11g SOA Suite Administration Console

http://servername.domainname:7001/console

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?

Reply
Atul Kumar says September 15, 2009

@ Rehan,
For non XE database minimum is 10.2.0.4 or later for 10g and 11.1.0.7 for 11g database.

XE is fine for development but not for production or enterprise deployment.

10.2.0.4 is available on Metalink via Patch 6810189

Hi! Thanks for your post, it really helps me to install SOA 11g. But can you help me: is it possible to start weblogic server without attachment to console? ‘Cause startWebLogic.sh or startManagedWebLogic.sh do not give me console back.

Reply
Atul Kumar says September 24, 2009

@ 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

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.

Atul Kumar says October 16, 2009

@CDMNagaraj
I have not seen quick install guide but installed
SOA 11g directly and when you use config.sh to
Configure SOA from SOA_ORACLE_HOME it by default
Configure three server , Administration Server (7001)
SOA_server1 (8001) and BAM_server1 (9001)

If quick install guide says to configure two server
Both on same server/IP and port 7001 (which I doubt)
then you can’t start two servers at same time because of port conflict.

Hi,

I have resolved the issue. Actually for the Oracle XE database version 10.2.0.1 is okay. We can ignore the comment. However we have to changed the number of INIT parameter “processes” default value from 40 to 500(approximately).

There may be some more errors which can be ignored… Finally the installation is success on Windows platform..

If we use startWebLogic.sh and startManagedWebLogic.sh directly from command line putty window, we need to keep the window open and wl logs are displaying on the screen. If we close the session then server will crash.

How can we overcome this ? By using node manager or using nohup to push as background process ?

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.

You can see soa folder in /em only if soa managed server is up and application soa-infra started successfully.

Fix: start soa managed server form startManagedServer.cmd [sh for linux] and ensure there are no errors in soa managed server log files (all applications on soa managed server should be up and running)

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.

Harvinder Saluja says September 9, 2010

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.

Reply
kkchopra says September 9, 2010

Thanks Harvinder for helping me out here but as per the installation guidelines I have installed both WLS and SOA under the FMW Home path i.e. – C:\Oracle\11gR1\Middleware

Under this path my both “wlserver_10.3” and “Oracle_SOA1” exists.

Is there something wrong in this installation configuration ?

Reply
Harvinder Saluja says September 9, 2010

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 an existing non-clustered SOA11g environment which I want to convert into a clustered one by adding a new machine.
I have already tried cloning the existing SOA_Server1 to SOA_Server2, created a new cluster (SOA_Cluster), assigned both the soa_servers to the newly created cluster, modified all the SOA depolyments (except libraries) to point to the new cluster instead of SOA_Server1, pack & unpack.
But unable to start SOA_Server2 successfully.

Can you provide your suggestions on this? I couldn’t find any document for this non-cluster to cluster migration process.

Reply
Atul Kumar says September 6, 2011

@ 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.

Hi Atul,

As I am planning to install Oracle SOA Suite11gR1(11.1.1.5.0) on Linux 64-bit

do i mandatory set the following set the kernal parameters…?

if so the below values are correct for Dev instance with 4CPU 2.26GHz VM machine…

Set Kernel Parameters
Oracle recommend the following minimum parameter settings.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586
The current values can be tested using the following command.
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep
Add or amend the following lines in the “/etc/sysctl.conf” file.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744

Hi Atul,

What is the recommended table space created that i need to creat for Oracle RAC Database11gR2(11.2) for BPEL Schema.

before running the RCU Utility..

appreciate your comments…

Thanks
Shashi

Atul Kumar says November 30, 2011

@ Shashi,
RCU will create these tablespaces for you, so not to worry in advance (Let RCU do the job)

RCU creates multiple temp tablespace which you may wish to change to single temporary tablespace TEMP .

If you are new to SOA/RCU then leave default values

Shashi says November 30, 2011

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the valid information..

One more doubt I have …

Before running RCU on middle layer

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..

# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ol6-112.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID

PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

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.

@ Wlyan,
When you say “when i want to configure the web-tier, my EM console says that the OHS1 & webcache1 was down.”

What and how are you configure web tier ?

After OHS installation, at web server configuration stage did you register that with weblogic server ?

Please update what are you trying to achieve

wiyan says December 4, 2011

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.

Atul Kumar says December 5, 2011

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; 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: 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.

Thanks a million.

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

    Try starting cmd as administrator and then run config.cmd.

    If this fails then try cmd as administrator and then run C:\Oracle\11gR1\Middleware\oracle_common\common\bin>config.cmd

If you have changed the Order of Installation (example re-installed or upgraded the JDK after Weblogic Installation) than you need to modify the properties file (change weblogic with newer JDK etc). Ensure Order is maintained while installing the product.
