This section covers these topics:
Prior to installing Oracle HTTP Server (OHS), check that your machines meet the following requirements:
Ensure that the system, patch, kernel, and other requirements are met as specified in the installation documentation.
Because Oracle HTTP Server is installed on port 7777 by default, you must make sure that port 7777 is not used by any service on the nodes. To check if this port is in use, run the following command before installing Oracle HTTP Server:
netstat -an | grep 7777
You must free port 7777 if it is in use.
On Linux platforms, if the /etc/oraInst.loc file exists, check that its contents are correct. Specifically, check that the inventory directory is correct and that you have write permissions for that directory. If the /etc/oraInst.loc file does not exist, you can skip this step.
Before starting the installation, make sure that the following environment variables are not set:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
ORACLE_INSTANCE
As described in Section 2.3, "Shared Storage and Recommended Directory Structure," you install Oracle Fusion Middleware in at least two storage locations for redundancy.
Start the installer for Oracle HTTP Server from the installation media:
./runInstaller
In the Specify Inventory Directory screen, do the following:
Enter HOME/oraInventory, where HOME is the home directory of the user performing the installation (this is the recommended location).
Enter the OS group for the user performing the installation.
Click Next.
Follow the instructions on screen to execute /createCentralInventory.sh as root.
Click OK.
In the Welcome screen, click Next.
In the Select Installation Type screen, select Install - Do Not Configure, and click Next.
In the Prerequisite Checks screen, verify that all checks complete successfully, and click Next.
In the Specify Installation Location screen, specify the following values:
Fusion Middleware Home Location (installation location): ORACLE_BASE/product/fmw
Oracle Home Location Directory: web
Click Next.
In the Specify Security Updates screen, choose whether you want to receive security updates from Oracle support and if you do, enter your e-mail address.
In the Installation Summary screen, review the selections to ensure they are correct. If they are not, click Back to modify selections on previous screens. When you are ready, click Install.
On UNIX systems, if prompted to run the oracleRoot.sh script, make sure you run it as the root user.
The Oracle HTTP Server software is installed.
In the Installation Completed screen, click Finish to exit.
This section describes how to install the required Oracle Fusion Middleware software for the enterprise deployment reference topology for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite. The software components to be installed consist of the Oracle WebLogic Server Home (WL_HOME) and Oracle Home (ORACLE_HOME). As described in Section 2.3, "Shared Storage and Recommended Directory Structure," you install Oracle Fusion Middleware in at least two storage locations for redundancy.
Important: Oracle strongly recommends that you read the release notes for any additional installation and deployment considerations prior to starting the setup process. |
This section covers these topics:
Section 3.3.1, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Fusion Middleware Home"
Section 3.3.2, "Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Components"
Perform these steps to install Oracle WebLogic Server on SOAHOST1 and SOAHOST2:
Start the installer for Oracle WebLogic Server from the installation media:
$ ./wls1033_linux32.bin
In the Welcome screen, click Next.
In the Choose Middleware Home Directory screen, do the following:
Select Create a new Middleware Home.
For Middleware Home Directory, enter ORACLE_BASE/product/fmw.
Note: ORACLE_BASE is the base directory under which Oracle products are installed. The recommended value is/u01/app/oracle . See Section 2.3, "Shared Storage and Recommended Directory Structure" for more information. |
Click Next.
In the Register for Security Updates screen, enter your contact information so that you can be notified of security updates, and click Next.

In the JDK Selection screen, select only Oracle JRockit 1.6.0_<version> SDK, and click Next.
In the Choose Product Installation Directories screen, accept the directory ORACLE_BASE/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3, and click Next.
In the Installation Summary screen, click Next.
The Oracle WebLogic Server software is installed.
In the Installation Complete screen, clear the Run Quickstart check box and click Done.
This section covers these topics:
Section 3.3.2.1, "Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite"
Section 3.3.2.2, "Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware ECM Suite"
Perform these steps to install Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite on SOAHOST1 and SOAHOST2:
Note: Since the installation is performed on a shared storage, the MW_HOME is accessible and used by the Oracle ECM servers in ECMHOST1 and ECMHOST2. |
On Linux platforms, if the /etc/oraInst.loc file exists, check that its contents are correct. Specifically, check that the inventory directory is correct and that you have write permissions for that directory. If the /etc/oraInst.loc file does not exist, you can skip this step.
Start the installer for Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite from the installation media:
./runInstaller
When the installer prompts you for a JRE/JDK location, enter the Oracle SDK location created in the Oracle WebLogic Server installation (see Section 3.3.1, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Fusion Middleware Home"; for example, ORACLE_BASE/product/fmw/jdk160_<version>).
In the Specify Inventory Directory screen, do the following:
Enter HOME/oraInventory, where HOME is the home directory of the user performing the installation (this is the recommended location).
Enter the OS group for the user performing the installation.
Click Next.
Follow the instructions on screen to execute /createCentralInventory.sh as root.
Click OK.
In the Welcome screen, click Next.
In the Prerequisite Checks screen, verify that all checks complete successfully, and click Next.

When you install Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Content Management Suite, you install the product bits for the following applications on your system:
Oracle Universal Content Management (Oracle UCM)
Oracle Imaging and Process Management (Oracle I/PM)
Oracle Information Rights Management (Oracle IRM)
Oracle Universal Records Management (Oracle URM)
Oracle Inbound Refinery (Oracle IBR)
Perform these steps to install Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite on SOAHOST1 and SOAHOST2:
Note: Since the installation is performed on a shared storage, the MW_HOME is accessible and used by the Oracle ECM servers in ECMHOST1 and ECMHOST2. |
Start the installer for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite from the installation media:
./runInstaller
When the installer prompts you for a JRE/JDK location, enter the Oracle SDK location created in the Oracle WebLogic Server installation (see Section 3.3.1, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Fusion Middleware Home"; for example, ORACLE_BASE/product/fmw/jdk160_<version>).
In the Welcome screen, click Next.
In the Prerequisite Checks screen, verify that all checks complete successfully, and click Next.
Specify the installation location. Select the previously installed Middleware Home from the drop-down list. For the Oracle Home directory, enter the directory name (ecm).
Click Next.

The Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite software is installed.
In the Installation Complete screen, click Finish.
The Fusion Middleware Home should be backed up now (make sure that you stop the servers first):
SOAHOST1> tar -cvpf fmwhomeback.tar ORACLE_BASE/product/fmw
This creates a backup of the installation files for both Oracle WebLogic Server and the Oracle Fusion Middleware components.
This enterprise deployment guide assumes that the binary installations for both Fusion Middleware components and Oracle HTTP Server are patched to the latest patchset available. The EDG does not take into consideration running systems and rolling patches, but instead assumes the system is created from scratch and patched to the latest available patchset before the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard and domain operations are started. See the documentation included with each patchset to properly patch an existing installation.
Specifically for the Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite, it is expected that the SOA installation used by Oracle I/PM is patched to the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.3 (PS2) patchset level and that the Oracle WebLogic Server installation is using version 10.3.3.
