This appendix contains screenshots and descriptions for screens in the Oracle Service Bus installer.

It contains the following topics:

B.1 Welcome

welcome screen
Description of the illustration install_welcome.gif

This page introduces you to the Oracle Fusion Middleware installer and provides two important pieces of information:

  • A navigation pane on the left that summarizes the tasks the installer will help you complete. Each item in the navigation pane represents a specific installer screen that will prompt you for information required to install the software.

  • Information about any prerequisites you might need to perform before continuing with the installation.

Review the information on this screen carefully to be sure you have performed all the necessary prerequisites.

If you are not sure about any of the prerequisite tasks, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide, as well as the installation guide for the specific Oracle Fusion Middleware software you are about to install.

B.2 Install Software Updates

welcome screen
Description of the illustration install_sw_updates_1.gif

Use this screen to quickly and easily search for the latest software updates, including important security updates, via your My Oracle Support account.

The following table describes the fields on this screen.

Element Description

Skip Software Updates

Select this option to skip this screen. The installer will not check for updates that might be applicable to the current product installation.

Search My Oracle Support for Updates

If you have a My Oracle Support account, then select this option to have the installer automatically search My Oracle Support for software updates that apply to the software products are about to install.

Enter your My Oracle Support account name and password, and then click Search for Updates.

The installer automatically downloads applicable software updates from My Oracle Support.

Before you search for update, you can test your login credentials and the connection to My Oracle Support by clicking Test Connection. Click Proxy Settings to configure a proxy server if one is required.

Search Local Directory for Updates

Select this option if you already downloaded the latest software updates and you want the installer to search a local directory for updates applicable to the products you are about to install.

When you select this option, the installer displays an additional field and Browse button that you can use to identify the local directory where your updates are located.


B.3 Installation Location

welcome screen
Description of the illustration install_location.gif

Use this screen to identify where you want to install your Oracle Fusion Middleware software.

The following table describes the fields that appear on this page.

Field Description

Oracle Middleware Home

Use this field to specify the location of your Oracle Middleware home directory:

  • If you are using Oracle WebLogic Server as your application server:

    In the Oracle Middleware Home field, specify the absolute path to your existing Oracle Middleware home directory; this is the directory that was created when you installed Oracle WebLogic Server. If you do not know the full path to your Middleware home, you can click Browse to select an existing directory in your system.

  • If you are using IBM WebSphere as your application server:

    In the Oracle Middleware Home field, specify the absolute path to the directory you want to use as the Middleware home. This directory has no relation to the location of your WebSphere installation. If you specify a directory location that does not already exist, the installer will create the directory for you.

Oracle Home Directory

Use this field to specify the directory inside the Middleware home where you want to install your products.

If you specify a directory that already exists, it must be either:

  • An empty directory inside the Middleware home (for example, you have created an empty directory inside the Middleware home in advance of this installation and should specify this directory here).

  • An existing Oracle home directory (for example, you are reinstalling Oracle Service Bus to an existing Oracle home because of an incomplete previous installation).

If you specify a new directory, it will be created inside the Middleware home.


Refer to "Oracle Fusion Middleware Directory Structure and Concepts" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide for more information about these directories.

If you are performing an installation on a Windows operating system, be sure that your directory paths are valid and do not contain double backslashes (\\).

B.4 Installation Type

welcome screen
Description of the illustration install_type.gif

Use this screen to select the type of installation you want to perform.

The following table describes the options:

Installation Type Description

Typical

This installation type installs Oracle Service Bus and Oracle Service Bus binaries in the Oracle home.

Custom

This installation type allows you to choose which Oracle Service Bus component you want to install on your system. The components to select from include the Oracle Service Bus server, Oracle Service Bus IDE, and Oracle Service Bus examples.


B.5 Components to Install

Description of install_components.gif follows
Description of the illustration install_components.gif

Use this screen to select the components you want to install. Note that this screen is displayed only when you choose the Custom type of installation on the Installation Type screen.

The following components can be selected:

Element Description

Oracle Service Bus

This option installs the base Oracle Service Bus features. Note that this is a required component and you will not have the option to de-select this component.

Oracle Service Bus IDE

The integrated design environment for Oracle Service Bus which provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.

NOTE: If you are installing on an HP-UX or AIX operating system, you must make sure that this component is not selected.

Oracle Service Bus Examples

This option provides a quick and easy way to experience the run-time capability of using Oracle Service Bus proxy services in your design environment.

The examples are user-driven, pre-configured scenarios that use Oracle Service Bus to communicate with business services. The examples are based on typical business scenarios that benefit from using the proxy services to communicate between clients and business processes.

You can run the examples to see how Oracle Service Bus operates in the run-time environment, or you can build the examples in the development environment to get more in-depth knowledge of how to configure the proxy service.


B.6 Prerequisite Checks

welcome screen
Description of the illustration install_prereqs.gif

This screen analyzes the host computer to ensure that specific operating system prerequisites have been met.

If any of the prerequisite checks fail, then a short error message appears in the bottom portion of the screen. Fix the error and click Retry to try again. If you want to ignore the error or warning messages and continue with the installation, click Continue.

Click Abort to stop prerequisite checking for all components.

B.7 Product Home Location

welcome screen
