1 Installation Overview

This chapter covers the following topics:

1.1 Standalone Installation

You can install Oracle Web Services Manager either as part of Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3.1.0) or as a standalone product. This guide provides information about installing Oracle WSM as a standalone application. To install Oracle WSM as part of Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3.1.0), refer instead to the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows or Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Linux x86.

1.2 Standalone Installation Modes

In 10g (10.1.3.1.0), Oracle WSM features two installation modes: Basic and Advanced. Information you supply during the installation determines which mode Oracle Universal Installer uses. During the installation, you specify the directory where you want to install Oracle Web Services Manager 10g (10.1.3.1.0). If you specify a new directory, Oracle Universal Installer performs a Basic installation. If you specify an existing Oracle home, it performs an Advanced installation. Both modes install all components on the same machine. Basic and Advanced installations offer different features:


Note:

The Basic and Advanced installations of Oracle WSM are sometimes referred to, respectively, as the Developer and Production installations.


Note:

The Oracle home must contain an Advanced installation of Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3.1.0), as described in the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows or Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Linux x86. The Advanced installation must include J2EE only, not the entire Oracle SOA suite.


Note:

For installations that require an existing Oracle Database, the following versions are supported:
  • Version 9.2.0.7 or higher in the Oracle9i Database Release 2 series

  • Version 10.1.0.5 or higher in the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 series

  • Version 10.2.0.1 in the Oracle Database XE series

  • Version 10.2.0.2 or higher in the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 series
