    This document contains information related to hardware and software requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, database schema requirements, and required system libraries, packages, or patches.

    If you are installing on a DHCP server, non-networked computer, or multihomed computer, there are additional configuration steps that are required. These steps are also available in the system requirements document in the "Oracle Fusion Middleware System Configuration Requirements" section.

    If you are installing on a Windows operating system and want to install and configure Java Access Bridge for Section 508 Accessibility, read the "Installing and Configuring Java Access Bridge" section in this document.

  • Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations

    This page contains various certification documents for current and previous product releases. The System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document contains certification information related to supported 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems, databases, web servers, LDAP servers, adapters, IPv6, JDKs, and third-party products.

  • Oracle Fusion Middleware Interoperability and Compatibility Guide

    This document covers the compatibility and interoperability issues that may arise when installing or upgrading Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g products.

3 Installing and Configuring a Database

Installation of WebCenter Portal requires the availability of a database. This database must be up and running, and does not have to be on the same system where you are installing the components. The database must also be compatible with Repository Creation Utility (RCU), which is used to create the schemas necessary for WebCenter Portal components.

For the latest information about certified databases, visit the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

After you have installed an Oracle database, make sure that it is configured correctly by referring to the "RCU Requirements for Oracle Databases" section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document.

Before running Repository Creation Utility to create your schema, verify that this Oracle database is up and running. The database does not have to be on the same system where you are installing the products.

3.1 Creating Operating System Users for IBM DB2 Databases

If you are not using an IBM DB2 database, you can skip this section.

IBM DB2 databases authenticates its database users using equivalent operating system users. Therefore, prior to running RCU, one operating system user must be created for each schema. The operating system user name must match the schema owner name and must contain only lowercase letters; no all-uppercase or mixed-case names are allowed. For example, if you plan to create a schema named DEV_PT using RCU, then the operating system user must be named dev_pt (all lowercase letters).

Table 4 in Section 4, "Creating Schemas for WebCenter Portal" shows the operating system users that should be created for WebCenter Portal. Refer to your system documentation for information about how to create operating system users.

4 Creating Schemas for WebCenter Portal

WebCenter Portal requires that certain schemas exist in the database prior to installation. You must run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the schemas in the database.

Follow the instructions in this section to obtain RCU and create the schemas:

To see the platforms on which you can run RCU, review the "RCU Supported Platforms" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications.

For fields that are common with all data sources (for example, all data sources reside on the same database), you should select all of the data sources and make your changes. The changes are saved automatically as you type.

    After all of the information that is common to all data sources has been specified, then you will need to select individual or smaller groups of data sources and enter information that is specific to them (for example, the schema owner).

    Review the table on this screen and identify which fields you need to modify:

    • Vendor: Select the vendor for your database from the drop-down list.

    • Driver: Select the driver type from the drop-down list.

    • Schema Owner: Specify the schema owner for the schema; this is the name of the schema for this component in the following format:

      prefix_schema_name

      This information was specified on the Select Components Screen when the schemas were created using RCU. For more information, refer to Section 4, "Creating Schemas for WebCenter Portal".

    • Password: Specify the password for the schema. You specified this password on the Schema Passwords Screen when creating the schemas using RCU. For more information, refer to Section 4, "Creating Schemas for WebCenter Portal".

    • DBMS/Service: Specify the service name for your database. This is the database on which the schema resides.

    • Host Name: Specify the name of the machine where your database is running.

    • Port: Specify the database listen port number.

    Click Next.

  7. Test Component Schema Screen

For more information about configuring WebLogic Server domains, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

8 Post-Installation Tasks

This section contains general information that will help you verify your installation and configuration. Some components may require custom or manual configuration, and this information is also included in this section:

8.1 Launching the Servers

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

  1. 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 operating systems:

    DOMAIN_HOME/startWebLogic.sh

    On Windows operating systems:

    DOMAIN_HOME\startWebLogic.cmd

    This information was provided on the Specify Domain Name and Location Screen in the Configuration Wizard.

  2. To start the Managed Servers, run the startManagedWebLogic.sh (on UNIX operating systems) or startManagedWebLogic.cmd (on Windows operating systems) script in the bin directory inside the directory where you created your domain.

    This command also requires that you specify a server name. The default server names for the various Oracle WebCenter Portal components are listed in Table 1.

    For example, to start the Oracle WebCenter Portal: Spaces server on a UNIX operating system:

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

    On Windows operating systems:

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

Before the server is started, you will be prompted for the WebLogic Server username 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 startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt file in your DOMAIN_HOME directory.

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

http://administration_server_host:administration_server_port/console

Supply the username and password that you specified on the Configure Administrator Username and Password Screen of the Configuration Wizard.

For more information about starting and stopping servers, see "Starting and Stopping Servers" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Managing Server Startup and Shutdown for Oracle WebLogic Server.

8.2 Starting Managed Servers from the Administration Console

In order to start a managed server from the Administration Console, you must first create a machine, then associate the managed server with that machine:

Note:

Node Manager (see Section 8.3, "Starting Node Manager") must be up and running in order to start Managed Servers from the Administration Console.

  1. Login to the Administration Console.

  2. Navigate to Environment > Machines.

  3. Click New.

  4. Enter a machine name (for example, Machine-WC).

  5. In the Administration Console, navigate to Environment > Servers and select the managed server for which you want to associate this machine (Machine-WC). Use the drop-down list to associate the managed server with the machine.

Note:

This procedure only works if the managed servers are shut down. If the managed servers are up and running, then no values will appear in the drop-down list.

After this procedure, the managed server will start successfully and be accessible.

8.3 Starting Node Manager

Starting Node Manager on a machine that hosts Managed Servers allows you to start and stop the Managed Servers remotely using the Administration Console or the command line. Node Manager can also automatically restart a Managed Server after an unexpected failure.

To start Node Manager:

  1. On UNIX operating systems, run the MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/setNMProps.sh script.

    On Windows operating systems, run the MW_HOME\oracle_common\common\bin\setNMProps.cmd script.

    This script appends the required properties to the nodemanager.properties file. These properties can also be appended manually, or provided as command-line arguments.

    Note:

    The StartScriptEnabled=true property is required for Managed Servers to receive proper classpath and command arguments.

    The file containing the properties is nm.required.properties.

  2. On UNIX operating systems, start Node Manager by running the WebLogic_Home/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh script.

    On Windows operating systems, start Node Manager by running the WebLogic_Home\server\bin\startNodeManager.cmd script.

For more information about Node Manager, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Node Manager Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
