Installing Web Services Manager

Note:

If you have already installed Web Services Manager, features that are already installed cannot be reinstalled without uninstalling them first. To reinstall a feature, uninstall it and then install it again.

The Web Services Manager package includes Web Services Manager, Synchronization Queue Data Manager, and JCA Resource Adapter. You must download the Web Services Manager package and extract these components before you can install Web Services Manager. For information about Synchronization Queue Data Manager and JCA Resource Adapter, see:

You must also increase the heap size used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) before running the installation program to avoid "Out of Memory" error messages in the log file. For information, see "Increasing Heap Size to Avoid "Out of Memory” Error Messages" in BRM Installation Guide

Note:

Oracle recommends that you install Web Services Manager on the system on which BRM is installed.

To download Web Services Manager:

  1. Go to the Oracle software delivery Web site:

    https://edelivery.oracle.com

  2. Download the 7.5_WebServicesMgr_platform_opt.tar.Z software pack to a temporary directory (temp_dir), where platform is the operating system name.

  3. In temp_dir, extract the 7.5_WebServicesMgr_platform_opt.tar.Z software pack:

    The following files are extracted:

    • 7.5.0_BRM_JCA_Adapter_platform_opt.bin: JCA Resource Adapter

    • 7.5.0_DM_AQ_platform_opt.bin: Synchronization Queue Data Manager

    • 7.5.0_WebServicesMgr_platform_opt.bin: Web Services Manager

  4. Go to the directory in which you installed the Third-Party package and source the source.me file.

    Caution:

    You must source the source.me file to proceed with installation; otherwise, ”suitable JVM not found” and other error messages appear.

    Bash shell:

    source source.me.sh
    

    C shell:

    source source.me.csh
    
  5. Go to the temp_dir and enter the following command:

    7.5.0_WebServicesMgr_platform_32_opt.bin
    

    Note:

    You can use the -console parameter to run the installation in command-line mode. To enable a graphical user interface (GUI) installation, install a GUI application such as X Windows and set the DISPLAY environment variable before you install the software.
  6. Follow the instructions displayed during installation. The default installation directory for Web Services Manager is BRM_Home/deploy/web_services. If BRM or Web Services Manager is not already installed on the machine, the installation program will prompt you for an installation directory: specify a directory in which to install the package.

Your Web Services Manager installation is now complete.
