6 Understanding the Installation Prerequisites

This chapter describes the procedure you must use to install the Weblogic 12c runtime and deploy the tool's EAR file. For more information about domain creation and other server related information, see the WebLogic application server documents.

Installation and Setup Instructions

This section describes the installation and setup instructions including the installation prerequisites, preparing the WebLogic server, creating a WebLogic domain, verifying installation of JRF runtime libraries and deploying the EAR file. It also describes guidelines to set up security.

Note: The windows included in the following procedures are for example purposes only. Because these procedures must be followed for each application, valid values vary. Therefore, consider the illustrations as guides only; the values shown may not always apply.

Prerequisites

USM Web Application requires Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1.4.0), built with Java 8 (JDK 1.8 64 bit with the latest security updates).
