This is Chapter-1 of Oracle SOA 12c Step By Step Installation Series.

In this post, I will show you step by step installation of Oracle SOA 12c on window 7.

There are some prerequisites that you need to fulfill before installing Oracle SOA 12c. your system should fulfill all the requirement. See below link to check system requirement.


Follow below steps to install Oracle SOA 12c.

Step 1:

Download Oracle SOA 12c installer.

Go to below link.


Accept the License Agreement.


Click on Download link to download the installer.





You will see one jar file downloaded to your system. Extract that jar file and you will see below two executable jar files.
  • fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart
  • fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart2

We need to run these executable jar files from command prompt.


Step 2:

You also need to download supported JDK, you will not be able to run Oracle SOA 12c installer if you don’t have supported JDK.

You can download latest jdk from below link.


By default this will be installed in C:\Program Files\Java.


Step 3:

Open the cmd prompt, right-click on it and run it as administrator.




Step 4:

Go to java bin folder where you have installed latest JDK. E.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin
Oracle SOA 12c is an executable jar file so we need to run it from command prompt.

Run below command in command prompt.

Java –jar Oracle_SOA_12c_exceutable_Jar_File_Location

Here you need to provide first executable jar file path.



You will see it start extracting file.

Once all files extracted, it will launch the installer.






Step 5:

You see window of quick start installation, click on next.




Step 6:

You need to specify Oracle home directory. If there is any issue with the directory like space is not available then installer will show that error at below pane.

Click Next.




Step 7:

In this step installer check system certification and Java Version. Both prerequisite should meet.
Click Next.




Step 8:

You see installation summary page, you can save the response file if you want to.

Click on “Install” to start the actual installation process.




Step 9:

In this step, installer copy all required libraries or files to your system.



Some time you may get below error when installer copy files to your system. This error occur when you use JDK 8 but you will not get this error when you use JDK 7.

Error: ....Failed to Transform .................Can't rename temporary file name..................

This error may occur due to access issue, I still need to investigate the root cause of this but there in one work around which worked for me.

Just change Oracle home path from “C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home” to “C:\Oracle_1\Middleware\Oracle_Home”.



You see the installation progress.



Once setup is complete, click on Next.


Step 10:

In this screen, you see installation summary. If you want to start the Jdeveloper then you can check the “Start Jdeveloper” box and click on Finish.



Step 11: Now we will create domain. Go to next Chapter-2 to create required domain.



Step 12: Now we will add SOA extension to the JDeveloper. To do this go to Help --> Check for Updates.



Check all checkboxes and click on next.



Then you will see next window and in that window you see IDE folder and under that you see "Extension SDK".

Click on the checkbox and install it.

    1. I recommend you to re-install the setup with JDK 7 because if you are able to install it using JDK 8 anyhow , you will not be able to deploy your composite to default server then again you have re-install it using JDK 7 so better to use JDK 7 now only.

      Thanks

    1. You need to change USER_MEM_ARGS = -Xms32m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=384m so that there should be enough space for object heap.

    4. You might be using incompatible version of JDK. I faced this and got it resolved after installing right version of JDK.

      Delete
    5. Modify %HOME%\oracle_common\common\bin\commEnv.cmd file setting USER_MEM_ARGS environment variable after ":continue" tag and re-create default domain again from Application Servers view on JDeveloper.

      SET USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xms32m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:MaxHeapSize=512m

  10. Hi Vivek,

    Can Oracle SOA suite 12c and Oracle SOA suite 11g co-exist on a same machine or they must be run on different machines (separate machine for 11g and 12c)?

    Thanks,

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, you can install both SOA 11g and 12c on same machine. You can use same DB but I will recommend to create different schemas for 11g and 12c.

      Thanks

      Delete
    2. Thanks Vivek. I have one more question regarding Installation procedure, In one of your posts during Oracle SOA 12c setup the last step of the installation procedure is setting up the Oracle database and RCU. Shouldn't this procedure be completed at the beginning instead? On many Oracle SOA 11g setup guides it is mentioned to first instal Oracle DB and RCU and after that proceed with SOA suite, WebLogic, JDeveloper etc.

      Thanks in advance!

    3. Alex,

      Technically it does not matter whether you install DB first of weblogic server as installation of both is independent. We link up weblogic server with DB while creation of domain.

    1. There are two installer. Developer version don't require separate DB and RCU as it uses Java DB (Derby) Database but if you want to have full installation then we can use Oracle XE DB 11g version but we need to use 12c RCU only.
