1 Understanding Oracle Service Bus

This chapter provides an overview of Oracle Service Bus and this guide. This chapter includes the following topics:

- Section 1.1, "Oracle Service Bus Overview"

- Section 1.2, "Understanding the Oracle Service Bus Installation Types"

- Section 1.3, "Installing Oracle Service Bus and Creating a Domain in a Development Environment"

- Section 1.4, "Installing Oracle Service Bus and Creating a Domain in a Production Environment"

- Section 1.5, "Installing and Configuring Oracle Service Bus in a High Availability Environment"

1.1 Oracle Service Bus Overview

Oracle Service Bus combines intelligent message brokering with service monitoring and administration to provide a unified software product for implementing and deploying Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) on your enterprise. This converged approach adds a scalable, dynamic routing and transformation layer to your enterprise infrastructure, with service lifecycle management capabilities for service registration, service usage, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance.

The following topics are covered in this section:

- Section 1.1.1, "Oracle Service Bus Components"

- Section 1.1.2, "Oracle Service Bus Requires Oracle WebLogic Server"

- Section 1.1.3, "Oracle Service Bus IDE Requires Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse"

- Section 1.1.4, "Using Reporting Features or Oracle Web Services Manager Policies"

- Section 1.1.5, "Using Oracle Web Services Manager for Policy Management"

1.1.1 Oracle Service Bus Components

The installer for Oracle Service Bus features the following components that can be installed on your system:

- Oracle Service Bus Server: The full set of components that comprise Oracle Service Bus, excluding Oracle Service Bus examples and the Oracle Service Bus IDE.

- Oracle Service Bus IDE: Oracle Service Bus Plug-in is an integrated design environment for Oracle Service Bus. You must install Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse to use Oracle Service Bus IDE.

Note:

Oracle Service Bus IDE cannot be installed on an HP-UX or AIX operating system.

- Oracle Service Bus Examples: The Oracle Service Bus examples provide you with a quick and easy way to experience the run-time capability of using proxy services in your design environment; they demonstrate key features and help you get started with designing and configuring resources and services using the Oracle Service Bus Console. These examples are user-driven, pre-configured scenarios that use Oracle Service Bus to communicate with business services. The examples are based on typical business scenarios that benefit from using Oracle Service Bus proxy services to communicate between clients and business processes. You can run the examples to see how Oracle Service Bus operates in the run-time environment, or you can build the examples in the development environment to get more in-depth knowledge of how to configure the proxy service.

Note:

By default, the Oracle Service Bus examples are not installed in a typical installation. To install the examples, select the custom installation option. For more information, see Section 1.2, "Understanding the Oracle Service Bus Installation Types".

1.1.2 Oracle Service Bus Requires Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle Service Bus relies on Oracle WebLogic Server run-time facilities. It leverages the capabilities inherent in Oracle WebLogic Server to deliver functionality that is highly available, scalable, and reliable.

Oracle WebLogic Server provides the core services that ensure reliability, high availability, scalability, and a high-performing execution environment for your application.

Oracle WebLogic Server consists of the following sub-components that can be installed on your system:

- Server: Oracle WebLogic Server program files that contain the core Java Enterprise Edition 2 (Java EE 2) features and Apache Beehive.

- Server Examples: Oracle WebLogic Server and MedRec example domain and sample applications. These servers and sample applications demonstrate a variety of Java EE 2 features. Resources are provided to help you build, configure, and run each of the sample applications. You must install the Server sub-component to install and use the Server Examples.

Oracle WebLogic Server also comes with a JRockit JDK which is required to start the installer. If you choose to use a different JDK, you should refer to the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document to see which JDKs can be used with this version of Oracle Service Bus. This document is available on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

1.1.3 Oracle Service Bus IDE Requires Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse

Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) is a certified set of Eclipse plug-ins designed to help develop, deploy and debug applications for Oracle WebLogic Server. Eclipse plug-ins facilitate development of Java SE, Java EE, Web Service, ORM, and Spring applications on Oracle WebLogic Server.

You must install OEPE to use Oracle Service Bus IDE. The OEPE installer also includes Oracle WebLogic Server, so you do not need to obtain both installers.

For information about obtaining the OEPE (including Oracle WebLogic Server) installer and installation instructions, see Section 2.1, "Obtaining the Software" and Section 2.2, "Installing Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse and Oracle WebLogic Server".

1.1.4 Using Reporting Features or Oracle Web Services Manager Policies

Oracle Service Bus includes a JMS reporting provider for message reporting. The Reporting module in the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console displays the information captured from this reporting provider. If you do not wish to use the JMS Reporting Provider that is provided with your Oracle Service Bus installation, you can untarget it and create your own reporting provider using the Reporting Service Provider Interface (SPI). See "How to Untarget a JMS Reporting Provider" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Service Bus.

If you want to use the JMS reporting provider, you must have a certified database up and running and run the Repository Creation Utility to install the SOA Infrastructure (SOAINFRA) schema in your database. For more information, see Section 2.1, "Obtaining the Software" and Section 2.4, "Installing the Schemas for Reporting Features and OWSM".

Using the Derby Evaluation Database

If you are using the reporting feature in a development environment, you can choose to use Derby, which is an evaluation database included in your Oracle WebLogic Server installation. In this case, you are not required to use RCU to create and load schemas if the Oracle Web Services Manager functionality for Oracle Service Bus is not required.

Be sure to select Evaluation Database if you are using the Custom installation option to install Oracle WebLogic Server. If you are using the Typical installation option, the Evaluation Database is installed by default.

Reporting tables for Oracle Service Bus are created in the Evaluation Database when the server starts up for the first time. If you are using Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to create the Oracle Service Bus domain, configure the database type reporting as Derby, and set the password appropriately. You can ignore the Test Connections action in the wizard because the Evaluation Database starts only when Oracle WebLogic Server is started.

1.1.5 Using Oracle Web Services Manager for Policy Management

Oracle Service Bus can also be configured with Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) for policy management and infrastructure security. If you choose to do so, you must have a certified database up and running and run the Repository Creation Utility to install the Metadata Services (MDS) schema in your database. For more information, see Section 2.1, "Obtaining the Software" and Section 2.4, "Installing the Schemas for Reporting Features and OWSM".

1.2 Understanding the Oracle Service Bus Installation Types

During installation, you have the following options for choosing what components of Oracle Service Bus are installed:

- Typical Installation

- Custom Installation

1.2.1 Typical Installation

When you choose the Typical type of installation, the Oracle Service Bus installer installs the Oracle Service Bus Server and the binaries of Oracle Service Bus Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in a new Oracle home directory.

Because Oracle Service Bus IDE is installed, this requires the presence of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) on your system. For more information about OEPE, see Section 1.1.3, "Oracle Service Bus IDE Requires Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse".

1.2.2 Custom Installation

When you choose the Custom type of installation, you can select the following components of Oracle Service Bus to install:

- Oracle Service Bus Server (this is a mandatory component and cannot be de-selected)

- Oracle Service Bus Integrated Development Environment

- Oracle Service Bus Examples

Note:

If you are installing Oracle Service Bus on a 64-bit machine, select the Custom installation type. You must de-select the Oracle Service Bus IDE option.

If you choose to install Oracle Service Bus IDE, you must also have OEPE installed on your system. For more information about OEPE, see Section 1.1.3, "Oracle Service Bus IDE Requires Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse".

2.6 Understanding the State of Oracle Service Bus Components After Installation

This topic provides information about the state of Oracle Service Bus components after installation, including:

- Default SSL Configurations

- Administration Server Password

2.6.1 Default SSL Configurations

By default, none of the Oracle Service Bus 11g components are installed with SSL configured. You must configure SSL for the Administration Server and Managed Servers by using the Configuration Wizard.

To configure SSL for the Administration Server, run the Configuration Wizard and select SSL enabled on the Configure Administration Server screen, as described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

To configure SSL for Managed Servers, run the Configuration Wizard and select SSL enabled on the Configure Managed Servers screen, as described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

2.6.2 Administration Server Password

Password for the Administration Server is configured during domain creation. For security reasons, after installation, you should change the passwords of the various components so they have different values.

For more information, see "Changing the Administrative User Password" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

3 Configuring Oracle Service Bus

This chapter describes how to configure Oracle Service Bus after you have installed the software. It includes the following topics:

- Section 3.1, "Configuration Instructions"

- Section 3.2, "Creating a WebLogic Domain with Only Oracle Service Bus"

- Section 3.3, "Creating a Single WebLogic Domain with Oracle Service Bus and Oracle SOA Suite"

- Section 3.4, "Extending an Oracle Service Bus WebLogic Domain to Support Oracle SOA Suite"

- Section 3.5, "Extending an Oracle SOA Suite WebLogic Domain to Support Oracle Service Bus"

- Section 3.6, "Starting the Servers"

- Section 3.7, "Verifying Your Oracle Service Bus Installation and Domain Configuration"

- Section 3.8, "Start Menu Commands on Windows Operating Systems"

- Section 3.9, "Getting Started with Oracle Service Bus After Installation and Configuration"

3.1 Configuration Instructions

After the installation is complete, you must run the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to create and configure a new WebLogic Server domain and choose the products that you want to configure in that domain. If you have an existing domain, you can use the Configuration Wizard to extend the existing domain to support additional products and features.

Each WebLogic Server domain contains one Administration Server and may contain other Managed Servers depending on the products you choose to configure.

See "Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server Domains" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server for more information about Oracle WebLogic Server domains.

See "Oracle Service Bus Deployment Topology" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Guide for Oracle Service Bus for more information about the templates you can select during the configuration process.

3.1.1 Using Default Settings for Managed Servers

During the configuration, the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard automatically creates managed servers in the domain to host the Fusion Middleware system components. Oracle recommends that you use the default configuration settings for these managed servers. If you modify the default configuration settings, then you will have to perform some manual configuration steps before the Fusion Middleware environment can be started.

3.1.2 Using Default Setting for Targeting Deployments and Services

On the Select Optional Configuration screen, if you select Deployments and Services, you will get the following two screens for additional configuration:

- Target Deployments to Clusters or Servers screen

- Target Services to Clusters or Servers screen

These screens allow you to select deployments, such as applications and libraries, and services to target them to a particular cluster or server. However, you should not change the Oracle Service Bus deployment targets unless specifically instructed in the documentation.

3.1.3 Shutting Down Running Managed Servers When Extending a Domain

If you are extending an existing WebLogic Server domain (Section 3.4, "Extending an Oracle Service Bus WebLogic Domain to Support Oracle SOA Suite" or Section 3.5, "Extending an Oracle SOA Suite WebLogic Domain to Support Oracle Service Bus"), you must shut down any Managed Servers that are currently running in the domain before you start the Configuration Wizard. If you do not, validation of your Managed Servers will fail due to port number conflicts from the managed servers that are currently running.

For more information, see "Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

3.1.4 Starting the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard

The Configuration Wizard is located in the OSB_ORACLE_HOME/common/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or OSB_ORACLE_HOME\common\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory. Go to this directory, then run the config.sh (on UNIX operating systems) or config.cmd (on Windows operating systems) script to start the Configuration Wizard:

On UNIX operating systems:

./config.sh

On Windows operating systems:

config.cmd

To create a log file for your configuration session, see the instructions in Section D.2, "Installation and Configuration Log Files".

If you are using a 32-bit operating system, Oracle JRockit SDK is installed as part of the Oracle WebLogic installation. This is the JDK that the Configuration Wizard will use by default. If you want to invoke the Configuration Wizard with the Sun JDK, do the following prior to starting the Configuration Wizard:

1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the location of the Sun JDK. For example, you can set it to the Sun JDK that was installed with Oracle WebLogic Server in the MW_HOME/jdk160_27 (on UNIX operating systems) or MW_HOME\jdk160_27 (on Windows operating systems) directory.

2. Set the JAVA_VENDOR environment variable to "Sun."

After you have started the Configuration Wizard, find the scenario that best describes your environment, and proceed to that section to configure your domain:

- Section 3.2, "Creating a WebLogic Domain with Only Oracle Service Bus"

- Section 3.3, "Creating a Single WebLogic Domain with Oracle Service Bus and Oracle SOA Suite"

- Section 3.4, "Extending an Oracle Service Bus WebLogic Domain to Support Oracle SOA Suite"

3.6 Starting the Servers

To get your deployments up and running, you must start the Administration Server and various Managed Servers:

- Section 3.6.1, "Starting the Administration Server"

- Section 3.6.2, "Starting the Administration Server as a Windows Service"

- Section 3.6.3, "Starting the Managed Servers"

- Section 3.6.4, "Starting the Servers Using Non-Default Port Numbers and Remote Hosts"

- Section 3.6.5, "Verifying That the Servers Have Started"

3.6.1 Starting the Administration Server

To start the Administration Server, run the startWebLogic.sh (on UNIX operating systems) or startWebLogic.cmd (on Windows operating systems) script in the directory where you created your new domain.

On UNIX systems:

DOMAIN_HOME/startWebLogic.sh

On Windows systems:

DOMAIN_HOME\startWebLogic.cmd

The DOMAIN_HOME consists of your domain location and domain name, which was specified on the Specify Domain Name and Location Screen in the Configuration Wizard.

3.6.2 Starting the Administration Server as a Windows Service

On Microsoft Windows systems, you can also start the Administration Server as a Windows service. For instructions, see "Starting the Administration Server as a Windows Service" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Service Bus.

3.6.3 Starting the Managed Servers

To start the Managed Servers, run the DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh (on UNIX operating systems) or DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd (on Windows operating systems) script. These Managed Servers must be started from the command line.

This command also requires that you specify a server name. The servers that need to be started (depending on your configuration) are:

- soa_server1 (Oracle SOA Server)

- osb_server1 (Oracle Service Bus Server)

For example, to start Oracle SOA Server on a UNIX system:

DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1

On Windows systems:

DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1

Before the managed server is started, you will be prompted for the WebLogic Server user name and password. These were provided on the Configure Administrator Username and Password Screen in the Configuration Wizard.

If you do not know the names of the Managed Servers that need to be started, you can view the contents of the following file on UNIX systems:

DOMAIN_HOME/startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt

On Windows systems:

DOMAIN_HOME\startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt

Or, you can access the Administration Server console at the following URL:

http://host:admin_server_port/console

Supply the user name and password that you specified on the Configure Administrator Username and Password Screen of the Configuration Wizard. Then, navigate to Environment > Servers to see the names of your managed servers.

3.6.4 Starting the Servers Using Non-Default Port Numbers and Remote Hosts

If your Administration Server is using a non-default port, or resides on a different host than your managed servers (in a distributed environment), you must also specify the URL to access your Administration Server.

On UNIX systems:

DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1 http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port

On Windows systems:

DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1 http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port

Instead of being prompted for the Administration Server user name and password, you can also specify them directly from the command lime.

On UNIX systems:

DOMAIN_HOME/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1 http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port -Dweblogic.management.username=user_name -Dweblogic.management.password=password

On Windows systems:

DOMAIN_HOME\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1 http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port -Dweblogic.management.username=user_name -Dweblogic.management.password=password

3.6.5 Verifying That the Servers Have Started

When the servers are started, at the end of the console, you will see lines similar to the following:

<Apr 16, 2009 5:10:59 PM PDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000332> <Started WebLogic Managed Server "osb_server1" for domain "base_domain" running in Development Mode>
<Apr 16, 2009 5:10:59 PM PDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000365> <Server state changed to RUNNING>
<Apr 16, 2009 5:10:59 PM PDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <Server started in RUNNING mode>

3.7 Verifying Your Oracle Service Bus Installation and Domain Configuration

After completing the installation and configuration of Oracle Service Bus, you can verify the installation as follows:

- Verify whether you can access the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console.
The URL for the console is:

http://hostname:osb_port_number/sbconsole

If the Oracle Service Bus Console starts working, your installation of Oracle Service Bus was successful.

- If you installed Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with Oracle WebLogic Server, you can try to start the Oracle Service Bus Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to verify the installation.
To launch the Oracle Service Bus IDE:

- On Windows operating systems, go to the Start menu and select Programs > Oracle Service Bus 11g - Home 1 > Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse.

- On UNIX operating systems, go to the MW_HOME/oepe_11gR1PS3 directory and run the following command:

./eclipse

- Verify your Oracle Service Bus directory structure.
Use Figure 1-2, "Sample Topology for a Development Environment Installation" and Figure 1-4, "Sample Topology for a Production Environment Installation" as guides.

3.8 Start Menu Commands on Windows Operating Systems

If you are installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Service Bus on the Windows operating system, a set of commands are added to the Start menu. You can use them to launch product components and tools, such as Configuration Wizard. You can also use them to perform some basic administrative tasks, such as starting or stopping servers. The Start menu commands are shown as follows:

Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle Service Bus

3.9 Getting Started with Oracle Service Bus After Installation and Configuration

After successful installing and configuration of Oracle Service Bus, refer to the "Introduction" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Guide for Oracle Service Bus.

4 Silent Installation and Deinstallation

This appendix contains information you need to know to perform a silent installation or deinstallation of Oracle Service Bus.

- Section 4.1, "Understanding Silent Installation and Deinstallation"

- Section 4.2, "Using the Oracle Service Bus Response Files"

4.1 Understanding Silent Installation and Deinstallation

You can use the Oracle Universal Installer's silent installation mode to bypass the graphical user interface and supply the necessary information in a response file. This method is most useful when installing the same product multiple times on multiple hosts. By using a response file, you can automate the installation of a product for which you know the installation parameters.

For information about silent installation and deinstallation and response files, refer to "Silent Installation and Deinstallation" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.

4.2 Using the Oracle Service Bus Response Files

Before doing a silent installation or deinstallation, you must provide information specific to your installation or deinstallation in a response file. The installer will fail if you attempt an installation using a response file that is not configured correctly. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in a text editor

Oracle recommends creating your response file by first running the install GUI, then clicking Save on the Installation Summary screen. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.

To create a response file for silent deinstallation, repeat the same procedure by clicking Save on the Deinstall Oracle Home screen.

Response file templates for Oracle Service Bus are provided in the Disk1/stage/Response (on UNIX operating systems) or Disk1\stage\Response (on Windows operating systems) directory where you unpacked the archive file (Section 2.1, "Obtaining the Software"):

- For more information about the template response files that can be used for silent installation, see Section 4.2.1, "Using the Installation Response Files for Oracle Service Bus".

- For more information about the template response files that can be used for silent deinstallation, see Section 4.2.2, "Using the Deinstallation Response File for Oracle Service Bus".

4.2.1 Using the Installation Response Files for Oracle Service Bus

Table 4-1 lists the installation response files provided for Oracle Service Bus:

Table 4-1 Oracle Service Bus Installation Response File Templates

Template

Description

custom_installtype.rsp

This is the template response file that should be used if you want to customize the products installed on your system. For example, if you want to perform a silent installation and exclude OEPE (thereby not installing Oracle Service Bus IDE) then you would use this template.

The equivalent using the GUI would be to run the installer and select Custom on the Installation Type screen. In the response file, you must specify which products you want to install.

See Section 4.2.1.1, "Using the custom_installtype.rsp Response File Template" for more information.

typical_installtype.rsp

This is the template response file that should be used if you want to install all Oracle Service Bus products on your system. You will not have the option to exclude any products from being installed.

The equivalent using the GUI would be to run the installer and select Typical on the Installation Type screen. All Oracle Service Bus products will be installed.

See Section 4.2.1.2, "Using the typical_installtype.rsp Response File Template" for more information.

In addition to these pre-existing response files, you can create your own response file by running the deinstaller GUI, then clicking Save on the Installation Summary screen. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.

4.2.1.1 Using the custom_installtype.rsp Response File Template

Table 4-2 describes the parameters found in the custom_installtype.rsp response file template. The parameters are listed in the order in which they appear in the response file; note that they do not necessarily follow the order of the installation screens as seen in graphical mode.

A Deinstalling and Reinstalling Oracle Service Bus

This appendix provides information about deinstalling and reinstalling Oracle Service Bus on your system.

Always use the instructions provided in this appendix for removing the software. If you try to remove the software manually, you may experience problems when you try to reinstall the software. Following the procedures in this appendix ensures that the software is properly removed.

The following topics are covered:

- Deinstallation Instructions

- Reinstalling Oracle Service Bus

A.1 Deinstallation Instructions

The deinstaller attempts to remove the Oracle home directory from which it was started. Before you choose to remove your Oracle Service Bus Oracle home directory, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain and that you stop all running processes that use this Oracle home.

Deinstalling Oracle Service Bus will not remove any WebLogic domains that you have created—it only removes the software in the Oracle Service Bus Oracle home directory.

Properly removing Oracle Service Bus from your system involves the following tasks:

- Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware

- Removing Database Schemas

- Removing Oracle Service Bus

- Removing Oracle WebLogic Server

- Removing the Program Groups (Windows Only)

- Rebooting Your System (Windows Only)

A.1.1 Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware

Before deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware software components, you should stop all servers and processes.

For instructions, refer to "Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

To stop Node Manager, see the instructions in "Stopping Node Manager" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Node Manager Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

A.1.2 Removing Database Schemas

If you are using the Reporting feature or Oracle Web Services Manager policies and you have installed database schemas, run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to drop the schemas from your database.

For instructions, refer to "Dropping Schemas" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide.

A.1.3 Removing Oracle Service Bus

Deinstalling Oracle Service Bus involves removing the Oracle Service Bus Oracle home and also the Oracle Common home directories.

The deinstaller will attempt to remove the Oracle home from which it was started. This procedure will not remove any WebLogic domains that you have created - it only removes the software in the Oracle home.

Before you choose to remove your Oracle Service Bus Oracle home, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain, and also make sure you stop all running processes that use this Oracle home. After you remove the software, you will no longer be able to use your WebLogic domain.

A.1.3.1 Removing the Oracle Service Bus Oracle Home

To start the deinstaller, navigate to the OSB_ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or OSB_ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory and start the deinstaller.

On UNIX operating systems:

./runInstaller.sh -deinstall

On Windows operating systems:

setup.exe -deinstall

On Windows operating systems, you can also start the deinstaller from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Oracle Service Bus 11g - Home1 > Uninstall.

Follow the instructions in Table A-1 to deinstall your software.

Table A-1 Deinstallation Flow

Screen

Description and Action Required

Welcome

The installer displays this screen when you are about to deinstall one or more Oracle Fusion Middleware software components.

Deinstall Oracle Home

Verify the Oracle home you are about to deinstall.

Click Deinstall to continue.

On the Warning screen, select whether or not you want the deinstaller to remove the Oracle home directory in addition to removing the software.

Click Yes to have the deinstaller remove the software and Oracle home, No to remove only the software, or Cancel to return to the previous screen.

If you select No, go to Section A.1.3.3, "Manually Removing Your Oracle Home Directories" for instructions on how to manually remove your Oracle home directory.

Deinstallation Progress

This screen shows the progress and status of the deinstallation.

Deinstallation Completed

This screen summarizes the deinstallation that was just completed.

Click Finish to dismiss the screen.

A.1.3.2 Removing the Oracle Common Home

This section describes how to remove the oracle_common directory. This directory contains its own deinstaller in oui/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or oui\bin (on Windows operating systems), just like any other Oracle home directory.

To start the deinstaller, navigate to the MW_HOME/oracle_common/oui/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or MW_HOME\oracle_common\oui\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory and start the deinstaller.

On UNIX operating systems:

./runInstaller -deinstall -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION

On Windows operating systems:

setup.exe -deinstall -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION

Note:

Specify the absolute path to your JRE_LOCATION; relative paths are not supported.

After the deinstaller is started, follow the instructions in Table A-1 to remove the Oracle Common home directory.

A.1.3.3 Manually Removing Your Oracle Home Directories

If you selected No on the warning screen during deinstallation, you must manually remove your Oracle home directories and all sub-directories. For example, if your Oracle Service Bus Oracle home directory was /home/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_OSB1 on a UNIX operating system:

> cd /home/Oracle/Middleware
> rm -rf Oracle_OSB1

On a Windows operating system, if your Oracle Service Bus Oracle home directory was C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_OSB1, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Middleware directory, then right-click on the Oracle_OSB1 folder and select Delete.

The same procedure can be used to manually remove the Oracle Common home (oracle_common) directory.

A.1.4 Removing Oracle WebLogic Server

Instructions for removing Oracle WebLogic Server are provided in "Uninstalling the Software" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

After the software is removed, you must manually remove the Middleware home directory and all sub-directories. For example, if your Middleware home directory was /home/Oracle/Middleware on a UNIX operating system:

> cd /home/Oracle
> rm -rf Middleware

On a Windows operating system, if your Middleware home directory was C:\Oracle\Middleware, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle directory, then right-click on the Middleware folder and select Delete.

A.1.5 Removing the Program Groups (Windows Only)

On Windows systems, you must also manually remove the program groups from the Start Menu\Programs folder. As an example (the folder names and program group names on your system may be different), you might remove the following from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs:

- Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.6.0

- Oracle Service Bus 11g - Home1

- Oracle WebLogic

A.1.6 Rebooting Your System (Windows Only)

On Windows operating systems, you should reboot your computer after you have finished removing all your programs to ensure proper cleanup.

A.2 Reinstalling Oracle Service Bus

The installer does not allow reinstallation of Oracle Service Bus in a directory that already contains an Oracle product. To reinstall Oracle Service Bus in the same directory as before, you must follow the instructions in this chapter to deinstall the software, then follow the instructions in Chapter 2, "Installing Oracle Service Bus" to reinstall the software.

D Troubleshooting the Installation

This appendix describes solutions to common problems that you might encounter when installing Oracle Service Bus. It contains the following topics:

- General Troubleshooting Tips

- Installation and Configuration Log Files

- Need More Help?

D.1 General Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter an error during installation:

- Read the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes for Linux x86 or Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) (depending on your platform) for the latest updates. The most current version of the release notes is available on the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11 g Release 1 (11.1.1) Documentation page on Oracle Technology Network:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/docs/middleware-093940.html

Click the View Library link for the documentation library corresponding to your release. The Release Notes are available in the library.

- Verify your system and configuration is certified. Refer to the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

- Verify your system meets the minimum system requirements. Refer to the System Requirements and Specifications document:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm

- If you entered incorrect information on one of the installation screens, return to that screen by clicking Back until you see the screen.

- If an error occurred while the Installer is copying or linking files:

1. Note the error and review the installation log files.

2. Remove the failed installation.

3. Correct the issue that caused the error.

4. Restart the installation.

D.2 Installation and Configuration Log Files

This section contains information about the log files that are created when running the Oracle Service Bus installer and the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard. Log files contain information that can help you troubleshoot problems with your installation or configuration.

D.2.1 Installation Log Files

The installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/log (on UNIX operating systems) or Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs (on Windows operating systems) directory. On UNIX systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the OSB_ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file. On Windows systems, the default location for the inventory directory is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.

The following install log files are written to the log directory:

- installdate-time-stamp.log
This is the main log file.

- installdate-time-stamp.out
This log file contains the output and error streams during the installation.

- installActionsdate-time-stamp.log
This file is used by the installer GUI to keep track of internal information.

- installProfiledate-time-stamp.log
This log file contains the overall statistics like time taken to complete the installation, as well as configuration, memory and CPU details.

- oraInstalldate-time-stamp.log
This log file contains the output stream of the copy session.

If you start the installer with the -printtime parameter, the timeTakendate-time-stamp.log and timedate-time-stamp.log files are created in the same directory:

- timeTakendate-time-stamp.log
This file contains information for the amount of time taken to move between screens (applicable for GUI installations only).

- timedate-time-stamp.log
This file contains time information for the copy session.

If you start the installer with the -printmemory parameter, the memorydate-time-stamp.log file is created. This file contains memory usage information for the copy session.

D.2.2 Configuration Log Files

To create a log file of your configuration session, start the Configuration Wizard with the -log option, as shown below:

On UNIX operating systems:

% ./config.sh -log=log_filename

On Windows operating systems:

G:\ config.cmd -log=log_filename

If you specify an absolute path with your log_filename then your log file will be created there. If you only specify a file name with no path, then the log files are created in the OSB_ORACLE_HOME/common/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or OSB_ORACLE_HOME\common\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory.
