This chapter provides instructions for installing and running the Oracle installer for the WebLogic Server 11gR1.
Additional information regarding the WebLogic Server is available at:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/install/index.html
This section describes how to download WebLogic Server from the Oracle E-Delivery Website:
http://edelivery.oracle.com
Refer to the JD Edwards World MTRs for specific system requirements including minimum processor and memory.
Oracle recommends the following:
Do not exceed a maximum of 12 characters when naming your home directory. If the name of this directory has more than 12 characters and if there are spaces in the directory name, the CLASSPATH might not be resolved properly.
You can install only one instance of each version of a WebLogic product in a single home directory.
If you launch the installation from the command line or from a script, you can specify the -log option to generate a verbose installation log. The installation log stores messages (informational, warning, error, and fatal) about events that occur during the installation process.
WebLogic Server 11gR1 supports Sun JDK 1.6.0_11+ or Oracle JRockit 1.6.0_05+ version. Oracle JRockit can be downloaded from the Oracle eDelivery web site:
http://edelivery.oracle.com
To verify you version of an installed JDK, use the following command from the command prompt:
> java -version
The system returns results. For example:
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
