Oracle Fusion, BPEL and coordination of master- and detail processes

The new Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g just got released a few days back, so time to play with it! Oracle did a great job on the installation guide and quickstart again, so installation wasn’t a real hard job. A short overview of the steps we need to follow Install Oracle Database (i used OracleXE) Create Schemas for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BAM by using Repository Creation Utility (RCU) Install Oracle WebLogic Server and Create the Middleware Home Installing Oracle SOA Suite Configuring Oracle SOA Suite Post-Installation Tasks Installing Oracle SOA Suite Design-Time Components On the download page i downloaded the next components Oracle WebLogic Server SOA Suite This part will show us the included components but also the list of required additional software and optional software Repository Creation Utility Quiet some software to install before we can get started. I assume you already have the db running so lets get on to the next step. Create Schemas for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BAM by using Repository Creation Utility (RCU) Unzip ofm_rcu_linux_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_1of1.zip and run ./rcu I needed to change the next parameters in the db alter system set PROCESSES=500 scope=SPFILE; alter system set open_cursors=500 scope=SPFILE; And the next parameters in the linux kernel (/etc/security/limits.conf) 1 # tbv oracle soa suite 11g 2 oracle          hard    nofile  4096 3 oracle          soft    nofile  4096 And a list of missing/wrong version of system packages 01 Root 02 Checking operating system certification 03 Expected result: One of enterprise-4,enterprise-5,redhat-4,redhat-5,SuSE-10 04 Actual Result: redhat-5 05 Check complete.

The overall result of this check is: Passed Install all the correct packages (yum available/yum install), and ignore the other warnings during install. Setup your own db instance I selected just all the components Install Oracle WebLogic Server and Create the Middleware Home chmod the bin file and run ./oepe11_wls1031_linux32.bin I had some ‘wrong class version exceptions’, so installed java6 update14. Create a new home Installing Oracle SOA Suite Unzip ofm_soa_generic_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_1of1.zip and run ./runInstaller in Disk1 Configuring Oracle SOA Suite Now we need to configure the soa suite installation with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard. Go to 1 <ORACLE_HOME>/common/bin and run ./config.sh Since i used 1 db for all the components, select al the components and config the same db settings Most of the steps are just next, next and a few more next. Post-Installation Tasks Start both the AdminServer and the ManagedServers. AdminServer 1 <SOASUITE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/domain_name/startWebLogic.sh ManagedServers 1 <SOASUITE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1 (default name) 2 <SOASUITE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh bam_server1 (default name) On startup it will prompt you for the username/password we used on during installation Installing Oracle SOA Suite Design-Time Components For development we will download Oracle JDeveloper 11g R1 (Build 5407). To be able to create soa projects in it we need to update it with the Oracle SOA Suite Extension. Go to Help > Check for Updates. Select ‘Oracle Fusion Middleware Products’ in the ‘Search Update Centers’, next and select ‘Oracle SOA Suite Composite Editor 11.1.1.0′. New consoles (look-and-feel) weblogic server 10.3.1 console enterprise manager Installation is done! Just a few urls to check if everything went ok administration server http://host:admin_server_port (default installation : http://localhost:7001) wls console http://host:admin_server_port/console (default installation : http://localhost:7001/console) enterprise manager http://host:admin_server_port/em (default installation : http://localhost:7001/em)
