Oracle Application Server Enterprise Deployment Guide 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) describes how to install the mySOACompany topology in a distributed environment, i.e., the various SOA components are installed in separate containers. Oracle recommends this environment for availability and performance isolation reasons. If these issues are not important to you, you may install all of the SOA components in a single container. To do this, launch Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 installer and select the J2EE Server, Web Server, and SOA Suite installation type.
This release of Oracle Application Server is not certified to run on machines that are configured with IPv6. You have to install and run this release of Oracle Application Server on machines that are configured with IPv4.
If you want to run the installer with a response file (to perform a silent or non-interactive installation), you cannot use response files created through the -record
command-line option in the installer, as described in the "Creating Response Files by Using the Record Mode in the Installer" section in the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide. Instead, you must use response files that were created from the provided response file templates; you replace the placeholder values in the template files with your own values.
After successfully completing the Basic Installation with the VIRTUAL_HOST_NAME
environment variable set, you may find the following error messages in ORACLE_HOME\opmn\logs\default_group~home~default_group~1
:
Warning: Unable to set up connection factory for a resource adapter in esb-dt: Error creating a ResourceAdapter implementation class. Error creating a JavaBean of class 'oracle.tip.esb.server.bootstrap.DesignTimeResourceAdapter: java.lang.RuntimeException: failed to get ESB_HOME: java.lang.NullPointerException Warning: Unable to set up connection factory for a resource adapter in esb-rt: Error creating a ResourceAdapter implementation class. Error creating a JavaBean of class 'oracle.tip.esb.server.bootstrap.RuntimeResourceAdapter: java.lang.RuntimeException: failed to get ESB_HOME: java.lang.NullPointerException log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
These error messages are benign and can be safely ignored.
After successful installation of Oracle Application Server, you may find the following error message in the application.log
file:
javax.servlet.ServletException: ORABPEL START-UP ERROR!!!!!!!! OraBPEL run-time expected system environment property "orabpel.home".
This error message is benign and can be safely ignored.
Installation of an Oracle Application Server middle-tier fails for Turkish locale.
Oracle recommends that you avoid running the Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle Application Server using the Turkish locale because some of the installation screens will not be displayed properly and will not be usable.
Oracle Application Server components such as OWSM and BPEL are not functional for the Turkish locale.
To avoid issues with installation of Oracle Application Server in locales using simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, Oracle recommends using:
zh_CN.gbk
instead of zh_CN.gb18030
for Simplified Chinese
zh_TW.big
instead of zh_TW.eucTW
for Traditional Chinese
In advanced Oracle Application Server installations in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese Language locales, the Rules Control icon is not displayed.
Additionally the URL link to Oracle Application Server is not placed correctly.
There is no Rules control link in Brazilian Portuguese locale installations.
Oracle HTTP Server Welcome page displays in English only following installation of Oracle Application Server.
In order to view the translated Oracle HTTP Server Welcome page, you need to enter you installation information in the following format where <lang> is the language you would like to use to view the Welcome page:
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.<lang>
For example,
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.ja
(Japanese)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.ko
(Korean)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.zh_TW
(Traditional Chinese)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.zh_CN
(Simplified Chinese)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.de
(German)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.fr
(French)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.it
(Italian)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.es
(Spanish)
http://<host>.<port>/index.html.pt_BR
(Brazilian Portuguese)
The opmnctl stopall
command times out if the BPEL schema in your OracleAS Metadata Repository Database contains old schemas.
To fix this issue, run the production irca.sh
to load new schemas in the Oracle database.
After successful installation of Oracle Application Server SOA MainCD, you may find the following Exception message in the oraInstallyyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ssAM/PM.err file:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""80""at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source) ...... Returning 0 instead
This exception message is benign and can be safely ignored.
When you install Oracle Application Server, the ONS localport is set to 6101 by default. If you then install Oracle Database on the same host, the database ONS port may also be set to 6101. This results in a port conflict. The workaround is to manually change one of the ONS ports to a different port number after installation. Refer to Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide for instructions for changing the ONS port number.
Using the Japanese_Japan locale for user opmn startup causes opmn to become unstable because of a logging function problem. instead of using Japanese_Japan, use another language locale, such as American_America.
This section describes issues with Oracle Application Server documentation. It includes the following topics:
Section 2.2.1, "Incorrect Installation Directory Path in Graphic"
Section 2.2.2, "ASG Standalone Kit Runinstaller Location Correction"
Section 2.2.5, "Additional Requirement for /etc/hosts File not Documented"
An incorrect directory path for the Installation directory is specified in Figure 4-1, "Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 Installation Screen" in the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide.
The installation directory path should be /scratch/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS
.
The following directory location is referenced in section 6.5.4, Installing the OracleAS 10g (10.1.3.1.0) Standalone Install of OracleAS Guard into Oracle Homes of Oracle Application Server Installation Guide:
/Disk2/asg/install/runInstaller
The correct directory location is:
/Disk2/asg/Disk1/install/runInstaller
In Chapter 2, Section 5.3.2, "Select Installation Type Screen" of the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide, the following incorrect installation requirements were listed in the screenshot of the Select Installation Type page:
J2EE Server, Web Server, and SOA Suite (874 MB)
J2EE Server and Web Server (659 MB)
J2EE Server (622 MB)
Web Server (535 MB)
The correct installation requirements are:
J2EE Server, Web Server, and SOA Suite (1.3 GB)
J2EE Server and Web Server (850 MB)
J2EE Server (793 MB)
Web Server (650 MB)
After installation is complete, the readme.txt
is displayed and it contains a typo in the URL in the following section:
Online documentation for Oracle Application Server is available at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017-01/index.htm
The correct URL should be:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/index.htm
The dash (-) in the URL should be an underscore (_) character.
In Chapter 2, "Requirements," of the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide, some additional information regarding the /etc/hosts
file is missing.
The following entry must be present in the /etc/hosts
file in order for the installation to start oc4j:home
:
127.0.0.1 localhost
