2 Understanding the Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) Installation

This chapter provides an overview of the Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) installation. It includes the following topics:

2.1 Overview of Installation Process

Installing Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) involves the following steps:

  1. Installing the Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) software by using the Oracle Service Bus 11g Installer

  2. Completing post-installation tasks, if any

As a standard practice, complete the following prerequisites for installing the Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) software:

  1. Review Oracle Service Bus certification information.

  2. Review the system requirements.

  3. Satisfy all dependencies, such as installing Oracle WebLogic Server, creating schema, installing Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, and so on.

  4. Perform the installation procedure for the appropriate component.

  5. Verify the installation.

Oracle Service Bus components will not start running after installing them using the Oracle Service Bus 11g Installer. For information about starting the components after installation, see the Getting Started topics in specific chapters in this guide.

Table 2-1 lists the Installers and tools used to install and configure Oracle Service Bus 11g at different stages of the installation and domain configuration processes.

2.2 Installing Oracle Service Bus and Creating a Domain in Development Environments

The following figure illustrates the process of installing Oracle Service Bus and creating a domain in a development environment.

Note:

In a development environment, you can use Derby, 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.

2.4 Additional 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) Installation and Upgrade Information

This topic describes additional sources for 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) deployment information, including documentation on the following subjects:

See Also:

The "Related Documents" section in this guide's Preface for a list of documents that provide additional information about Oracle Service Bus components.

2.4.1 Upgrading to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3)

This guide does not explain how to upgrade previous versions of Oracle Service Bus applications to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3). To upgrade an Oracle Service Bus application:

From Oracle Service Bus Release 10g (10.3 or 10.3.1) and AquaLogic Service Bus (2.6 or 3.0) to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3), refer to: 

2.4.2 Installing 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3) for High Availability

This guide does not explain how to install Oracle Service Bus in High Availability (HA) configurations. To install Oracle Service Bus in a High Availability configuration, refer to the following documents:

2.5 Silent Installation

In addition to the standard graphical installation option, you can perform silent installation of Oracle Service Bus 11g. A silent installation runs on its own without any intervention, and you do not have to monitor the installation and provide input to dialog boxes.

For more information, see What is a Silent Installation?.

2.6 Understanding Oracle Service Bus Installation Types

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

2.6.1 Typical Installation

When you choose the Typical type of installation, the Oracle Service Bus 11g Installer installs the Oracle Service Bus Server and the binaries of Oracle Service Bus Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in a new Oracle Home directory.

2.6.2 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

  • Oracle Service Bus Integrated Development Environment

  • Oracle Service Bus Examples

Note:

Oracle Service Bus Server is a mandatory component.

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

2.7 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:

2.7.1 Default SSL Configurations

By default, none of the Oracle Service Bus 11g components are installed with SSL configured. You must configure SSL for the Oracle WebLogic Administration Server and Oracle WebLogic Managed Server after installation, that is during domain creation.

See:

The Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for more information.

2.7.2 Administrator 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.

See:

The following documents for information about changing passwords for Oracle Service Bus components:

2.8 Understanding the Directory Structure After Installation

This section describes the directory structure after installation of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Service Bus. It also shows the structure of directories created after Oracle Service Bus is installed and configured in a WebLogic domain.

You can use this information to verify the installation of Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Service Bus after installing the software.

Oracle WebLogic Server Directory Structure

After you install Oracle WebLogic Server and create a Middleware Home, a home directory, such as wlserver_10.3, is created for Oracle WebLogic Server under your Middleware Home. This home directory is referred to as WL_HOME or WLS_HOME.

At the same level as WL_HOME, separate directories are created for the following components associated with Oracle WebLogic Server:

Note that WebLogic domains are created in a directory named domains located in the user_projects directory under your Middleware Home.

Oracle Service Bus Directory Structure

After you install the Oracle Service Bus software, an Oracle Home directory for Oracle Service Bus, such as Oracle_OSB1, is created under your Middleware Home. This home directory is also referred to as OSB_HOME.

For more information about identifying installation directories, see Identifying Installation Directories.

2.9 Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Domain Options

After Oracle Service Bus is installed, you are ready to configure the WebLogic Server Administration Domain for Oracle Service Bus. A domain includes a special WebLogic Server instance called the Administration Server, which is the central point from which you configure and manage all resources in the domain.

This section describes each domain option for configuring an Oracle Service Bus domain:

See:

The "Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server Domains" chapter in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server guide for more information about Oracle WebLogic Server administration domains.

2.9.1 Create New Domain

Select the Create New Domain option in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to create a new WebLogic Server domain.

2.9.2 Extend Existing Domain

Select the Extend Existing Domain option in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Wizard to add Oracle Service Bus in an existing Oracle WebLogic Server administration domain. When you add Oracle Service Bus using this option, they are essentially "joining" an existing domain.

You can extend any of the following existing domains:

  • Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3 domain

  • Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.0 domain

  • Oracle Service Bus 11.1.1.3.0 domain

2.9.3 Expand Cluster

Select the Expand Cluster option to add Oracle Service Bus to an Oracle WebLogic Server cluster for High Availability (HA). This document does not explain how to install Oracle Service Bus components in HA configurations. Refer to the following documents for more information:
