Installation Overview

The Application Adapter installer for 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) is applicable for the Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Suite and Oracle Service Bus (OSB). The Application Adapters that are installed can be used with Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Mediator, Business Process Management (BPM), and OSB components. Using this installer, Application Adapters can be installed in a standalone SOA environment, standalone OSB environment, or mixed (SOA and OSB) environment.

The Application Adapters are installed based on the value that is specified for the ORACLE_HOME parameter. The installer uses the OPatch utility to check for the specific version of OSB or SOA that is installed on the system. The installer starts the OPatch utility with the -oh option to use the JDK that is delivered with the Oracle SOA Suite and OSB. For example:

<ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch>opatch.bat lsinventory -oh <SOA_HOME> -jre <JDK_HOME>

The installer parses the output of the OPatch utility for the following strings and values:

  1. Application Server 11g SOA Patchset 11.1.1.3.0

  2. Oracle Service Bus 11.1.1.3.0

If the installer finds the string Application Server 11g SOA Patchset 11.1.1.3.0, then it assumes that the system is an Oracle SOA Suite environment. If the installer finds the string Oracle Service Bus 11.1.1.3.0, then it assumes that the system is an OSB environment.

If you enter the value of SOA_HOME for ORACLE_HOME, then the Application Adapters are installed in the following folder:

<ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty

If you enter the value of OSB_HOME for ORACLE_HOME, then the Application Adapters are installed in the following folder:

<OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty

If only OSB and SOA Suite are installed, then the Application Adapters are installed in SOA_HOME or OSB_HOME based on the value that is specified for ORACLE_HOME during the installation. In this case, the Application Adapters are installed in either of the following folders:

  1. <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty

  2. <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty

For the installer to run successfully, the OPatch utility must be run successfully in your environment. The OPatch utility is a prerequisite for the Application Adapters installer. Note that SOA_HOME and OSB_HOME have their own OPatch utilities in the combined or standalone environments. Ensure that the OPatch utility is run successfully in the system where the Application Adapters are installed.

For more information (including prerequisites) about the Opatch utility, see the following Web site:

http://www.comp.dit.ie/btierney/oracle11gdoc/em.111/b31207/oui7_opatch.htm#CEGHCGJI

Note:

If the OPatch utility is not started with the default options that are described in this section, then the installer does not work in your environment. If the OPatch utility or installer do not work as described, then you can install the Application Adapters using a .zip file. For more information on bug 10207507 and downloading the zip file version of the installer, contact Oracle Support.

For more information about installing the Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapter for SAP R/3 (SAP JCo 3.x), see Appendix C, "Configuring Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapter for SAP R/3 (SAP JCo 3.x)".

Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters on Windows

Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters can be installed with the following:

  • Application Server 11g SOA Patchset 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0)

  • Oracle Service Bus 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0)

To install Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters on a Windows platform, perform the following steps:

  1. Install Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.6 on the system.

    Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters are certified with JDK version 1.6.

  2. Ensure that the JDK is added to your system PATH or on a predefined path.

    If you have multiple JDK versions other than JDK version 1.6 installed on your system, then ensure that JDK version 1.6 is listed first in your system PATH. The installation program should install the adapters only with JDK version 1.6. The adapters should not be installed with any other JDK version.

  3. Navigate to the location on your system where the iwora11g.application-adapters.win32.exe installation file is located.

  4. Double-click the iwora11g.application-adapters.win32.exe file to start the Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters for Oracle WebLogic Server installation program.

    The installation program uses the JDK version that is available in your system PATH or on a predefined path.

    If you want the installer to use a JDK version in a specific path, then you can invoke the installer by performing the following steps.

    For example, on Windows:

    1. Navigate to the command prompt for your system.

    2. Enter the following command:

      iwora11g.application-adapters.win32.exe -is:javahome c:\myfolder\jdk1.6
      

      In this example, the installation program is run using JDK version 1.6.

    Figure 2-5 Windows Program Menu

    Oracle Application Adapters Program Menu
    Description of "Figure 2-5 Windows Program Menu"

Starting Application Explorer from the Windows Start menu does not run the Oracle WebLogic Server batch command setdomainenv.cmd. It is recommended to run the setdomainenv.cmd command on Windows systems and the setdomainenv.sh command on UNIX/Linux systems before starting Application Explorer.

Before starting and using Application Explorer, you must perform the following steps:

  1. Open the command prompt window.

  2. Navigate to the following directory:

    <WLS_Home>\user_projects\domains\base_domain\bin
    
  3. Execute setDomainEnv.cmd (Windows) or . ./setDomainEnv.sh (UNIX/Linux).

    This command sets the class path and other environment variables for Application Explorer in the Oracle WebLogic Server environment. In addition, it allows Application Explorer to access the Oracle WebLogic Server APIs to publish WSDL files to the Oracle Service Bus (OSB) Console.

  4. Do not close the command prompt window.

  5. Navigate to the following directory:

    For Oracle SOA Suite:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin\ae.bat
    

    In this example, <ORACLE_HOME> is the location where Oracle SOA Suite is installed.

    For OSB:

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin\ae.bat
    

    In this example, <OSB_HOME> is the location where Oracle Service Bus is installed.

    <OSB_Home>\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin
    
  6. Execute ae.bat (Windows) or iwae.sh (UNIX/Linux) to start Application Explorer.

Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters on UNIX and Linux

To install Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters on a UNIX or Linux platform, you can invoke the installer by performing the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the command prompt for your UNIX or Linux platform.

  2. Depending on your UNIX or Linux platform, enter the following command:

    For IBM AIX:

    $./iwora11g.application-adapters.aix.bin
    

    For HP-UX:

    $./iwora11g.application-adapters.hp.bin
    

    For Linux:

    $./iwora11g.application-adapters.linux.bin
    

    For Solaris:

    $./iwora11g.application-adapters.solaris.bin
    

Note:

It is recommended to use the -is:javahome option on the UNIX and Linux platforms. For more information on how to start the installer with a command to use a JDK version in a specific path, see step 4 in "Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters on Windows".

After the installation file is invoked, the remaining installation steps for the UNIX and Linux platform are similar to those for the Windows platform.

Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server Adapter Application Explorer

Before you can use Application Explorer to generate WSDL files, you must create a repository where your configuration details are stored. Each implementation requires you to configure a specific repository before you can explore Enterprise Information System (EIS) metadata. The information in the repository is also referenced at run time.

Business Services Engine (BSE) generates Web services based on enterprise assets that are accessible from adapters regardless of the programming language or the particular operating system being used. In addition, you can use BSE as a standalone Java application running in Oracle WebLogic Server.

The J2CA runs in J2EE Connector Architecture compliant application servers and uses the Common Client Interface (CCI) to provide integration services using Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Adapters for Oracle WebLogic Server. After you deploy the connector, you can access the adapters.

Creating a Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server Adapter Business Services Engine

To create a configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server Adapter Business Services Engine (BSE) using Application Explorer, you must first define a new configuration. This is a prerequisite for deploying BSE as a Web application in Oracle WebLogic Server.

Defining a New Configuration for BSE

To define a new configuration for BSE:

  1. Click the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, Oracle Application Adapters, and then click Application Explorer, as shown in Figure 2-6.

    Figure 2-6 Oracle Application Adapters Program Menu

    Oracle Application Adapters Program Menu
    Description of "Figure 2-6 Oracle Application Adapters Program Menu"

    Application Explorer is displayed.

    Alternatively, you can run the ae.bat file, which is located in the following directory, to start Application Explorer:

    Oracle SOA Suite:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin\ae.bat
    

    Oracle Service Bus (OSB):

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin\ae.bat
    

    It is a good practice to create a shortcut for the ae.bat file on your desktop.

    If you are using a UNIX or Linux platform, then you can start Application Explorer by using the iwae.sh file.

    Note:

    Before you run the iwae.sh file on UNIX or Linux platforms, the permissions must be changed. For example:
    chmod +x iwae.sh 
    
  2. Right-click Configurations and select New, as shown in Figure 2-7.

  5. In the iBSE URL field, accept the default URL or replace it with a different URL with the following format:

    http://host name:port/ibse/IBSEServlet
    

    where host name is the system on which Oracle WebLogic Server resides and port is the HTTP port number where Oracle WebLogic Server is listening, as shown in Figure 2-9.

    Note:

    The HTTP port number varies depending on the type of installation (Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle Service Bus).
  6. Click OK.

    A node representing the new configuration appears beneath the root Configurations node, as shown in Figure 2-10.

Configuring and Deploying J2CA

After the appropriate settings are configured according to your requirements, you must first deploy the J2CA Connector Application for use with Oracle WebLogic Server using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. After the J2CA Connector Application is deployed successfully, you can configure and deploy the J2CA Installation Verification Program (IVP). This section describes how to configure settings for the J2CA Connector Application and J2CA Installation Verification Program (IVP). It contains the following topics:

Configuring Settings for the J2CA Connector Application

To configure settings for the J2CA Connector Application:

  1. Locate the ra.xml file, which is located in the following directory:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\iwafjca.rar\META-INF\ra.xml
    
  2. Open the ra.xml file in an editor.

  3. Enter a value for the IWayHome property.

    This is the folder where the adapters are installed. For example:

    <config-property>   <config-property-name>IWayHome</config-property-name>   <config-property-type>java.lang.String</config-property-type>   <config-property-value>C:\oracle\Middleware\home_0309\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters</config-property-value></config-property>
    
  4. Enter a value for the IWayConfig property.

    This is the value that you specified when you created a new J2CA configuration using Application Explorer. For example:

    <config-property>   <config-property-name>IWayConfig</config-property-name>   <config-property-type>java.lang.String</config-property-type>   <config-property-value>J2CA_SampleConfig</config-property-value></config-property>
    
  5. Save the ra.xml file and exit the editor.

Configuring Log File Management for the J2CA Connector Application

Log file management for the J2CA Connector Application is governed by the configuration of the ra.xml file. The properties such as LogLevel, LogSize, and LogCount are the actual parameters that must be configured.

For example:

<config-property>      <config-property-name>LogLevel</config-property-name>      <config-property-type>java.lang.String</config-property-type>      <config-property-value>DEBUG</config-property-value></config-property><config-property>      <config-property-name>LogSize</config-property-name>      <config-property-type>java.lang.Integer</config-property-type>      <config-property-value>100000</config-property-value></config-property><config-property>      <config-property-name>LogCount</config-property-name>      <config-property-type>java.lang.Integer</config-property-type>      <config-property-value>10</config-property-value></config-property>

LogLevel specifies the level of the log to be shown in the log files. Valid values for LogLevel include DEBUG, INFO, ERROR, FATAL, and WARN. For development and test environments, DEBUG is the preferred log level, which displays all of the log details. For production environments, ERROR is the preferred log level.

LogSize is the parameter that controls the size of the log files. The size should be mentioned in bytes.

LogCount is the parameter that controls the number of log files that are required. The value for this parameter must be specified as an integer. The number of log files that are generated do not exceed the number that is specified and a rollover of the log occurs only within the files that have been generated.

The log files would be created under the <ORACLE_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\xxxxxxx\log folder where xxxxxxx is the name of the J2CA configuration that you created in Application Explorer. Each J2CA configuration in Application Explorer has a corresponding log folder under the named J2CA configuration folder.

Regardless of inbound or outbound processing, all log information is stored in a file that uses the iwafjcaxxxx.log naming convention. Outbound process logs are updated in the format iwafjcaxx.log (for example, iwafjca00.log). Inbound process logs are updated in the format iwafjca15xx.log (for example, iwafjca1500.log).

When an outbound process is deployed, all the current logs are updated in the iwafjca00.log file. After this file reaches its maximum log file size, the file is saved as iwafjca10.log and iwafjca00.log continues to log new activity. If iwafjca00.log reaches its maximum log file size for a second time, then this file is saved as iwafjca10.log and the previous log file (iwafjca10.log) is now saved as iwafjca20.log.

All new log files are created in this manner based on the value specified for the LogCount parameter in the ra.xml file. After the log files reaches the maximum log file size (LogSize) and number of log files (LogCount), then the logs are overwritten on the log file that was created first. For example, if you set LogSize to 100000 and LogCount to 5, then five separate files with a maximum size of 100000 are created initially as iwafjca00.log, iwafjca10.log, iwafjca20.log, iwafjca30.log, and iwafjca40.log. When the iwafjca00.log file reaches its maximum size, then the contents of the iwafjca40.log file would be replaced with iwafjca30.log and subsequent replacement with the other log files also occurs. This same behavior is followed with J2CA log file management for inbound processing.

Deploying the J2CA Connector Application Using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

To deploy the J2CA Connector Application:

  1. Start the Oracle WebLogic Server for the Oracle WebLogic Server domain that you have configured.

Note:

iWay Software adapters have been certified with the Oracle enterprise database as the repository. The version that was certified is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition (11.1.0.7.0).

Other versions of the Oracle enterprise database are also supported as long as they are supported by the Oracle SOA Suite. Except for the Oracle enterprise database, iWay Software does not support any other database, including Oracle XE, Oracle Berkeley Database, or databases from other vendors.

  1. Run the iwse.ora SQL script on the system where the database is installed.

    Note:

    When the iwse.ora script is used for the first time, database repositories are automatically created for BSE and J2CA configurations. As a result, it is not required to run the iwse.ora script twice for each configuration type. If the script is used multiple times, then the BSE and J2CA repositories are re-created and any values that were stored in the original database repositories are deleted.

    The iwse.ora SQL script is located in the following directory:

    Oracle SOA Suite:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\etc
    

    Oracle Service Bus (OSB):

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\etc
    

    This script creates the required tables that are used to store the adapter configuration information in the database. These tables are used by Application Explorer and by adapters during design time and run time. It is recommended that you use the same credentials to create the database repository and also in the ra.xml file (J2CA configuration) for database user credentials.

    Oracle SOA Suite:

    <Oracle_Home>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\etc>sqlplus
    

    Oracle Service Bus (OSB):

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\etc>sqlplus

    Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.1.3.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
    SQL>@ iwse.ora
    
  2. Copy the ojdbc14.jar file to the following directory:

    Oracle SOA Suite:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\lib
    

    Oracle Service Bus (OSB):

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\lib
    

    The ojdbc14.jar file can be found in the following directory:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\edifecs\XEngine\extensions\Selector\lib\thirdParties\JDBC\ojdbc14.jar
    
  3. Restart the Oracle WebLogic Server to recognize the ojdbc14.jar file.

J2CA Repository Configuration

The following additional steps are required to configure a J2CA repository:

  1. Create the jcatransport.properties file and save it in the following directory:

    Oracle SOA Suite:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\J2CA_SampleConfig
    

    Oracle Service Bus (OSB):

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\J2CA_SampleConfig
    

    Note:

    The jcatransport.properties file is required for each J2CA configuration that is created using Application Explorer. The J2CA configuration folder, for example, J2CA_SampleConfig, is named according to the configuration name that is specified in Application Explorer.
  2. Enter values for iwafjca.repo.url, iwafjca.repo.user, and iwafjca.repo.password fields in the newly created jcatransport.properties file, as shown in the following example:

    iwafjca.repo.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@90.0.0.51:1521:orcl

    iwafjca.repo.user=scott

    iwafjca.repo.password=scott1

    The following table lists and describes the iwafjca parameters.

    Parameter Description
    iwafjca.repo.url Enter the URL to use when opening a connection to the database. For example, the following repository URL format is used when connecting to Oracle:
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@host name:port;SID
    
    iwafjca.repo.user Enter the same user ID that you specified when running the iwse.ora SQL script to configure the database repository.
    iwafjca.repo.password Enter the same password that you specified when running the iwse.ora SQL script to configure the database repository.

  3. Navigate to the following directory:

    Oracle SOA Suite:

    <ORACLE_HOME>\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\iwafjca.rar\META-INF
    

    Oracle Service Bus (OSB):

    <OSB_HOME>\Oracle_OSB1\3rdparty\ApplicationAdapters\iwafjca.rar\META-INF
    
  4. Open the ra.xml file in a text editor.

  5. Provide the JDBC connection information as a value for the IWAYRepo_URL property the same as you provided for the jcatransport.properties file in step 2.

  6. Provide a valid user name for the IWAYRepo_User property the same as you provided for the jcatransport.properties file in step 2.

  7. Provide a valid password for the IWAYRepo_Password property the same as you provided for the jcatransport.properties file in step 2.

  8. Save your changes to the ra.xml file.

BSE Repository Configuration

The following additional steps are required to configure a BSE repository:

  1. Open the BSE configuration page in a Web browser:

    http://host name:port/ibse/IBSEConfig
    

    where host name is the system where BSE is installed and port is the port number on which BSE is listening.

    Note:

    The server to which BSE is deployed must be running.

    The BSE settings pane is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-54.
