Step by Step Installation and Configuration of WebLogic Server!

July 23, 2010

This week I was working on a project to implement Single Sign On with EBS R12, as a first pre-requisite I had to install and configure WebLogic Server. Here are the steps to install and perform a basic configuration for WebLogic Server. Software 1. Download Weblogic Server from the following URL: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/fmw_11_download.html 2. Review documentation to meet the basic hardware and software requirements: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14142/toc.htm Installation 1. Ive created an operating user oracle to own the WebLogic Server, so as a root Super User do the following:

1 2 3 4 5

#groupadd dba #useradd -g dba oracle #mkdir -p /u01/oracle/middleware #chown -Rh oracle:dba /u01/oracle/middleware #xhost +

2. Now login as oracle and invoke the installer (Ive downloaded the installer at /u01/dumps) as seen below. Click Next

3. Enter the location for Middle Ware Home and click Next

4. Register for Security Updates if you wish to and click Next 5. Choose Install Type, Ive chosen Custom and click Next

6. Choose Products and Components you wish to use and click Next

7. If you have previous JDK/JRockit SDK, you can choose to browse the path, although Oracle recommends that you download the latest JRockit SDK to use with WebLogic. You can download the latest JRockit from: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jrockit/index.html
