Figure 1 Installation Topology and Order of Tasks
This section contains important information you should read prior to installing Oracle WebCenter. The following topics are covered:
Section 2.1, "Verifying System Requirements and Certification"
Section 2.3, "Creating Operating System Users for IBM DB2 Databases"
Section 2.5, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Middleware Home"
Section 2.6, "Installing and Configure Java Access Bridge (Windows Only)"
For system requirement and certification information, refer to the following documents, available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm
This document contains information related to hardware and software requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, and required system libraries, packages, or patches.
Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
This document contains information related to supported installation types, platforms, operating systems, databases, JDKs, and third-party products.
Installation of Oracle WebCenter requires the availability of a database. This database must be up and running, and does not have to be on the same system where you are installing the components. The database must also be compatible with Repository Creation Utility (RCU), which is used to create the schemas necessary for Oracle WebCenter components.
Note: RCU is available only on Linux and Windows platforms. Either the Linux RCU or Windows RCU may be used to create schemas on any supported database platform. |
For the latest information about certified databases, visit the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification document at following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
After you have installed a database, make sure that it is configured correctly by referring to the "Repository Creation Utility (RCU) Requirements" section in the System Requirements and Specifications document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm
If you are not using an IBM DB2 database, you can skip this section.
IBM DB2 databases authenticates its database users using equivalent operating system users. Therefore, prior to running RCU, one operating system user must be created for each schema. The operating system user name must match the schema owner name and must contain only lowercase letters; no all-uppercase or mixed-case names are allowed. For example, if you plan to create a schema named DEV_PT
using RCU, then the operating system user must be named dev_pt
(all lowercase letters).
Table 2 in Section 2.4, "Creating Schemas for Oracle WebCenter" shows the operating system users that should be created for Oracle WebCenter. Refer to your system documentation for information about how to create operating system users.
Oracle WebCenter requires that certain schemas exist in the database prior to installation. You must run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the schemas in the database.
First, you must obtain the latest version of RCU. To do so, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 Software Download page on Oracle Technology Network:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/111110_fmw.html
Look for Repository Creation Utility in the "Required Additional Software" table. After downloading the .zip
file, extract the contents to a directory of your choice; this directory will be referred to as the RCU_HOME directory.
Note: On Windows operating systems, make sure that you do not unzip the RCU.zip file to a directory name containing spaces. |
Follow the instructions below to start RCU and create the schemas:
Start RCU from the RCU_HOME
/bin
(on Linux operating systems) or RCU_HOME
\bin
(on Windows operating systems) directory:
On Linux operating systems:

directory.
For more information about Java Access Bridge, refer to "Install and Configure Java Access Bridge (Windows Only)" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
If you are installing Oracle WebCenter on a DHCP host, you must follow the configuration steps in this section for your platform.
On Linux x86 operating systems, configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts
file to contain the following entries:
127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
After doing so, check that the host name resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:
/bin/ping hostname.domainname
On Windows operating systems, install a loopback adapter on the DHCP server (see Section 2.7.3, "Installing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)"). This assigns a local IP address to your computer.
After installing the adapter, add a line to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
file with the following format, immediately after the localhost
line:
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Replace IP_address
with the local IP address of the loopback adapter.
To install a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:
Open the Windows Control Panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware.
Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click Add Hardware.
In the "Welcome" window, click Next.
In the "Is the hardware connected?" window, select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, then click Next.
In the "The following hardware is already installed on your computer" window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device, then click Next.
In the "The wizard can help you install other hardware" window, select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, then click Next.
In the "From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing" window, select Network adapters, then click Next.
In the "Select Network Adapter" window, make the following selections:
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Network Adapter: Microsoft Loopback Adapter
Click Next.
In the "The wizard is ready to install your hardware" window, click Next.
In the "Completing the Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Finish.
If you are using Windows 2003, restart your computer.
Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections Control Panel.
Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named "Local Area Connection 2". Choose Properties.
On the "General" tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.
In the "Properties" dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:
IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:
192.168.x.x (x is any value between 1 and 255) 10.10.10.10
Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0
.
Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.
Leave all other fields empty.
Click OK.
In the "Local Area Connection 2 Properties" dialog, click OK.
Close Network Connections.
Restart the computer.
To remove a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:
Start the System Control panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > System.
Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click System.
In the "Hardware" tab, click Device Manager.
In the "Device Manager" window, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall.
Click OK.
You can install Oracle Web Tier on a non-networked computer, such as a laptop. Because a non-networked computer has no access to other computers, you have to install all the components that you need on the computer.
In addition, you must follow the instructions in Section 2.7, "Installing on DHCP Hosts" to install a loopback adapter and modify the hosts
file on your system.
You can install Oracle WebCenter on a multihomed computer. A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a host name; additionally, you can set up aliases for each hostname.
The installer picks up the fully qualified domain name from the first entry in /etc/hosts
(on UNIX operating systems) or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(on Windows operating systems) file. So if your file looks like the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.222.333.444 myhost1.mycompany.com myhost1 20.222.333.444 devhost2.mycompany.com devhost2
myhost1.mycompany.com
would be picked for configuration.
For specific network configuration of a system component, refer to the individual component's configuration documentation.
The Oracle WebCenter components (WebCenter Spaces, WebCenter Framework, and WebCenter Portlets) are installed onto your system by default. After the components are installed, you can run the Configuration Wizard to configure the components of your choice.
Note: Make sure you are not logged in to the WebLogic Server Administration Console before you install Oracle WebCenter. |
To start the installer on UNIX operating systems:
./runInstaller -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION
Note: Starting the installer asroot user is not supported. |
To start the installer on Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -jreLoc JRE_LOCATION
The installer requires the full path to the location of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system. When you installed Oracle WebLogic Server, Section 2.5, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Middleware Home"), a JRE was installed on your system. You can use this location (the location of the jre
directory) to start the installer. The default location for the JRE is MW_HOME
/jdk160_18
(on UNIX operating systems) or MW_HOME
\jdk160_18
(on Windows operating systems), where MW_HOME
is the Middleware home directory.
On 64-bit platforms, the JRE location is the JAVA_HOME
you used to install Oracle WebLogic Server. Refer to Section 2.5, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Middleware Home" for more information.

This section contains general information that will help you verify your installation and configuration. Some components may require custom or manual configuration, and this information is also included in this section:
To get your deployments up and running, you must start the Administration Server and various Managed Servers:
To start the Administration Server, run the startWebLogic.sh
(on UNIX operating systems) or startWebLogic.cmd
(on Windows operating systems) script in the directory where you created your new domain.
On UNIX operating systems:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/startWebLogic.sh
On Windows operating systems:
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\startWebLogic.cmd
This information was provided on the Specify Domain Name and Location Screen in the Configuration Wizard.
To start the Managed Servers, run the startManagedWebLogic.sh
(on UNIX operating systems) or startManagedWebLogic.cmd
(on Windows operating systems) script in the bin
directory inside the directory where you created your domain.
This command also requires that you specify a server name. The servers that need to be started are:
WLS_Spaces
(Oracle WebCenter Spaces)
WLS_Portlet
(Oracle WebCenter Portlets)
WLS_Services
(Oracle WebCenter Web 2.0 Services)
For example, to start the Oracle WebCenter Spaces server on a UNIX operating system:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh WLS_Spaces
On Windows operating systems:
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\bin\startManagedWebLogic.cmd WLS_Spaces
Before the server is started, you will be prompted for the WebLogic Server username and password. These were provided on the Configure Administrator Username and Password Screen in the Configuration Wizard.
If you do not know the names of the managed servers that need to be started, you can view the contents of the following file on UNIX operating systems:
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt
On Windows operating systems:
MW_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt
Or, you can access the Administration Server console at the following URL:

In order to start a managed server from the Administration Console, you must first create a machine, then associate the managed server with that machine:
Login to the Administration Console.
Navigate to Environment > Machines.
Click New.
Enter a machine name (for example, Machine-WC
).
In the Administration Console, navigate to Environment > Servers and select the managed server for which you want to associate this machine (Machine-WC
). Use the drop-down list to associate the managed server with the machine.
Note: This procedure only works if the managed servers are shut down. If the managed servers are up and running, then no values will appear in the drop-down list. |
After this procedure, the managed server will start successfully and be accessible.
Starting Node Manager on a machine that hosts Managed Servers allows you to start and stop the Managed Servers remotely using the Administration Console or the command line. Node Manager can also automatically restart a Managed Server after an unexpected failure.
To start Node Manager:
On UNIX operating systems, run the WebCenter_ORACLE_HOME
/common/bin/setNMProps.sh
script.
On Windows operating systems, run the WebCenter_ORACLE_HOME
\common\bin\setNMProps.cmd
script.
This script appends the required properties to the nodemanager.properties
file. These properties can also be appended manually, or provided as command-line arguments.
Note: TheStartScriptEnabled=true property is required for Managed Servers to receive proper classpath and command arguments.
The file containing the properties is |
On UNIX operating systems, start Node Manager by running the MWHome
/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh
script.
On Windows operating systems, start Node Manager by running the MWHome
\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\startNodeManager.cmd
script.
For more information about Node Manager, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Node Manager Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Deinstalling Oracle WebCenter involves removing the WebCenter Oracle home and the Oracle Common home directories.
The deinstaller will attempt to remove the Oracle home from which it was started. This procedure will not remove any WebLogic domains that you have created - it only removes the software in the Oracle home.
Before you choose to remove any Oracle home, make sure that it is not in use by an existing domain, and also make sure you stop all running processes that use this Oracle home. After you remove the software, you will no longer be able to use your WebLogic domain.
To start the deinstaller, navigate to the WebCenter_ORACLE_HOME
/oui/bin
(on UNIX operating systems) or WebCenter_ORACLE_HOME
\oui\bin
(on Windows operating systems) directory and start the deinstaller.
On UNIX operating systems:
./runInstaller -deinstall
On Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -deinstall
On Windows systems, you can also start the deinstaller from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Oracle WebCenter 11g - Home1 > Uninstall.
Follow the instructions below to remove the installed software.
Welcome Screen
Click Next.
Deinstall Oracle Home Screen
Verify the Oracle home you are about to deinstall.
Click Deinstall to continue.
A warning dialog box will appear. Click Yes to confirm that you want to proceed with the deinstallation and remove the Oracle home directory.
Deinstallation Progress Screen
This screen shows the progress and status of the deinstallation. No action is required; the installer will automatically advance to the next screen when deinstallation is complete.
Deinstallation Complete Screen
Click Finish.
On Windows operating systems, manually remove the Oracle home directory (even if you answer Yes in the warning dialog box).
For example, if your Oracle home directory is C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_WC1
, then you should navigate to the C:\Oracle\Middleware
directory, right-click on the Oracle_WC1
folder, and select Delete.
This section describes how to remove the oracle_common
directory. This directory contains its own deinstaller in oui/bin
(on UNIX operating systems) or oui\bin
(on Windows operating systems), just like any other Oracle home directory.
To start the deinstaller, navigate to the MW_HOME
/oracle_common/oui/bin
(on UNIX operating systems) or MW_HOME
\oracle_common\oui\bin
(on Windows operating systems) directory and start the deinstaller.
On UNIX operating systems:
./runInstaller -deinstall
On Windows operating systems:
setup.exe -deinstall
After the deinstaller is started, follow the instructions below to remove the Oracle Common home.
Welcome Screen
Click Next.
Select Deinstallation Type Screen
Select Deinstall Oracle Home.
Click Next.
Deinstall Oracle Home Screen
Verify the Oracle home you are about to deinstall.
Click Next to continue.
A warning dialog box will appear. Click Yes to confirm that you want to proceed with the deinstallation and remove the Oracle home directory.
Deinstallation Progress Screen
This screen shows the progress and status of the deinstallation. No action is required; the installer will automatically advance to the next screen when deinstallation is complete.
Deinstallation Complete Screen
Click Finish.
On Windows operating systems, manually remove the Oracle Common home directory (even if you answer Yes in the warning dialog box).
For example, if your Oracle Common home directory is C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common
, then you should navigate to the C:\Oracle\Middleware
directory, right-click on the oracle_common
folder, and select Delete.
To deinstall Oracle WebLogic Server:
Start the deinstaller from the WebLogic_Home
/uninstall
(on UNIX operating systems) or WebLogic_Home

(on Windows operating systems) directory. You specified the location of the WebLogic home directory on the Choose Product Installation Directories Screen in Section 2.5, "Installing Oracle WebLogic Server and Creating the Middleware Home".
On UNIX operating systems:
./uninstall.sh
On Windows operating systems:
uninstall.cmd
You must specify the absolute path to your JRE_LOCATION
; relative paths will not work.
On Windows systems, you can also start the deinstaller from the Start menu by selecting Programs > Oracle WebLogic > Uninstall Oracle WebLogic.
Welcome Screen
Click Next.
Choose Components Screen
By default, all components are selected.
Click Next.
Uninstalling WebLogic Platform Screen
Click Done.
Manually remove the Middleware home directory.
For example, if your Middleware home directory was /home/Oracle/Middleware
on a UNIX operating system:
> cd /home/Oracle > rm -rf Middleware
On a Windows operating system, if your Middleware home directory was C:\Oracle\Middleware
, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle
directory, then right-click on the Middleware
folder and select Delete.
If you have installed Oracle JDeveloper on your system, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle JDeveloper for instructions on how to remove this software from your system.
