You can download the latest Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g software from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html
For information about downloading Oracle WebLogic Server, see "Product Distribution" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g also requires the latest version of Oracle WebLogic Server. At the time this document was published, the latest version of Oracle WebLogic Server was Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.3).
For complete information about patching your Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g to the latest release, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide.
Before you can install Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) components, you must install Oracle WebLogic Server and create the Oracle Middleware Home directory.
Complete the following steps to install Oracle WebLogic Server and create the Oracle Middleware Home directory. You can refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server for complete information about installing Oracle WebLogic Server.
Insert the Oracle WebLogic Server CD-ROM or download the Oracle WebLogic Server Installer from the following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/index.html
For information about downloading Oracle WebLogic Server, see "Product Distribution" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Locate the appropriate executable file for your system, such as:
wls_linux32.bin for 32-bit Linux systems
wls_win32.exe for 32-bit Windows systems
wls_generic.jar for all 64-bit platforms
The 32-bit executable files are bundled with the appropriate JDK version. If you use the 64-bit installer, you will need to invoke the installer with a supported JDK for your platform. This JDK must be installed on your system before you install Oracle WebLogic Server. Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification document for a list of supported JDKs for your platform:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html
Run the Oracle WebLogic Server Installer directly from the CD-ROM, or copy the file to your local system and run it locally.
For example, on 32-bit systems:
Linux:
./wls_linux32.bin
Windows:
wls_win32.exe
For example, on 64-bit systems:
UNIX:
JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar wls_generic.jar
or
JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -jar wls_generic.jar
Windows:
JAVA_HOME\bin\java -jar wls_generic.jar
For 64-bit installations:
Before running the installer, set the DISPLAY environment variable on your system.
Replace JAVA_HOME with the installation location of the supported JDK you installed for your platform.
Use the -d64 flag when using 32/64-bit hybrid JDKs (such as the HP JDK for HP-UX and SUN JDK for Solaris SPARC).
Execute JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version (or JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -version on 32/64-bit hybrid JDKs) to ensure that your JAVA_HOME refers to a 64-bit JDK.

Oracle WebLogic Server Directory Structure
After you install Oracle WebLogic Server and create a Middleware Home, a home directory, such as wlserver_10.3, is created for Oracle WebLogic Server under your Middleware Home. This home directory is referred to as WL_HOME.
At the same level as WL_HOME, separate directories are created for the following components associated with Oracle WebLogic Server:
Sun JDK - jdk160_18
Oracle JRockit - jrockit_160_17_R28.0.0-679
Note that WebLogic domains are created in a directory named domains located in the user_projects directory under your Middleware Home. After you configure any of the Oracle Identity Management products in a WebLogic administration domain, a new directory for the domain is created in the domains directory. In addition, a directory named applications is created in the user_projects directory. This applications directory contains the applications deployed in the domain.
You must install an Oracle Database before you can install some Oracle Identity Management components. The database must be up and running to install the relevant Oracle Identity Management component. The database does not have to be on the same system where you are installing the Oracle Identity Management component.
The following database versions are supported:
10.2.0.4
11.1.0.7
11.2
Note:
You can locate the most recent information about supported databases by referring to the "Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification" topic in this chapter.Table 3-3 lists the databases requirements for RCU at the time of publication:

alter system set session_cached_cursors=100 scope=spfile;
alter system set processes=500 scope=spfile;
Bounce the database and continue with the installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU) and loading of schemas.
To identify the patches required for Oracle Identity Manager 11.1.1.3.0 configurations that use Oracle Database 11.1.0.7, refer to the Oracle Identity Manager section of the 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes.
You must create and load the appropriate Oracle Fusion Middleware schema in your database before installing the following Oracle Identity Management components and configurations:
Oracle Identity Manager
Oracle Access Manager
Oracle Adaptive Access Manager
Oracle Authorization Policy Manager
You create and load Oracle Fusion Middleware schema in your database using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU), which is available on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) web site. You can access the OTN web site at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html
Note:
RCU is available only on Linux and Windows platforms. Use the Linux RCU to create schemas on supported UNIX databases. Use Windows RCU to create schemas on supported Windows databases. After you extract the contents of thercuHome.zip file to a directory, you can see the executable file rcu in the BIN directory.
For information about launching and running RCU, see the "Launching RCU with a Variety of Methods" and "Running Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility (RCU)" topics in the guide Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide. For information about troubleshooting RCU, see the "Troubleshooting Repository Creation Utility" topic in the guide Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide.
When you run RCU, create and load only the following schema for the Oracle Identity Management component you are installing—do not select any other schema available in RCU:
For Oracle Identity Manager, select the Identity Management - Oracle Identity Manager schema. The SOA Infrastructure schema, the User Messaging Service schema, and the Metadata Services schema are also selected, by default.
For Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, select the Identity Management - Oracle Adaptive Access Manager schema. By default, the AS Common Schemas - Metadata Services schema is also selected.
For Oracle Adaptive Access Manager with partition schema support, select the Identity Management - Oracle Adaptive Access Manager (Partition Supp...) schema. By default, the AS Common Schemas - Metadata Services schema is also selected.
Note:
For information about Oracle Adaptive Access Manager schema partitions, see OAAM Partition Schema Reference.For Oracle Access Manager, select the Identity Manager - Oracle Access Manager schema. By default, the AS Common Schema - Audit Services schema is also selected.
For Oracle Authorization Policy Manager, select the Identity Management - Authorization Policy Manager schema. By default, the AS Common Schemas - Metadata Services schema is also selected.
Note:
When you create a schema, be sure to remember the schema owner and password that is shown in RCU.If you are creating schemas on databases with Oracle Database Vault installed, note that statements such as CREATE USER, ALTER USER, DROP USER, CREATE PROFILE, ALTER PROFILE, and DROP PROFILE can only be issued by a user with the DV_ACCTMGR role. SYSDBA can issue these statements by modifying the Can Maintain Accounts/Profiles rule set only if it is allowed.
See:
The Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility User's Guide for complete information.If you want to reuse an existing database schema, you must upgrade your old database schema to work with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g products and components.
For information about upgrading your existing database schema, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Identity Management.
If you are installing Oracle Identity Manager, you must install the latest version of Oracle SOA Suite (11.1.1.3.0).
Follow the instructions in this section to install the latest Oracle SOA Suite software. The installation of Oracle SOA Suite is a prerequisite for configuring Oracle Identity Manager.
Installing the latest version of Oracle SOA Suite 11g involves the following steps:
Obtaining the Latest Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle SOA Suite Software
Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Middleware Home
Refer to the following for more information about the latest Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g software:
You can download the latest Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g software from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html
At the time this document was published, the latest release of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g was 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0), which provides new features and capabilities that supersede those available in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) and 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0).
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g also requires the latest version of Oracle WebLogic Server. At the time this document was published, the latest version of Oracle WebLogic Server was Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.3).
For complete information about patching your Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g to the latest release, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide.
Oracle SOA Suite requires Oracle WebLogic Server and a Middleware Home directory. For more information, see "Install Oracle WebLogic Server" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide. In addition, see "Running the Installation Program in Graphical Mode" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Note:
If you have already created a Middleware Home before installing Oracle Identity Management components, you do not need to create a new Middleware Home again. You must use the same Middleware Home for installing Oracle SOA Suite.Note that only Oracle Identity Manager requires Oracle SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.3.0). This step is required because Oracle Identity Manager uses process workflows in Oracle SOA Suite to manage request approvals.
Follow the instructions in Table 3-4 to install Oracle SOA Suite. If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, click Help to access the online help.
To start the Oracle SOA Suite installation wizard, you must complete the following steps:
Extract the contents of the soa.zip (11.1.1.2.0) to a directory, such as soa.
