Configuring and Starting Oracle SOA Suite

  To configure Oracle SOA Suite:

1. From the WebLogic Administration Server machine, run the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to configure a WebLogic domain, and choose the products that you want to configure in that domain. To start the Configuration Wizard, from SOA_ORACLE_HOME/common/bin, run config.sh (UNIX) or config.cmd (Windows).

   Note that EPM System and Oracle SOA Suite must be deployed to the same domain. The choice you make for the domain depends on your deployment scenario:

   • In a new deployment, where you have not yet configured EPM System products, you must create a new WebLogic domain.

   • In an existing deployment, where you have already configured EPM System products and now want to extend the deployment to include Financial Close Management and Oracle SOA Suite, you must extend the existing WebLogic domain created during EPM System deployment.

   Note the following additional details for this step. Note that not all steps are listed, only those that require specific selections for Financial Close Management.

   • During deployment, select the following products: Oracle SOA Suite and all common Oracle components, including Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle WSM Policy Manager, Oracle JRF WebServices Asynchronous services, and Oracle JRF, if they are not already selected.

   • Select the default JDK. Oracle recommends that you select Production Mode. (When using Production Mode, when you start WebLogic Administration Server, when you are prompted to enter a user name and password, enter the user name and password that you entered during the configuration of the Administration Server domain.)

   • When you configure the JDBC datasources, enter the database details that you entered when you ran RCU.

   • Use the default settings for the server port. By default, the Administration Server port is 7001 and the soa_server1 port is 8001.

2. Start WebLogic Administration Server and the Oracle SOA Suite managed servers using the WebLogic Administration Console.

   • To start the WebLogic Administration Server, run the following command: MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domainName/startWebLogic.cmd

   • To start the SOA Managed Server, run the following command: MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domainName/bin/startManagedWebLogic.cmd soa_server1.

   The Oracle SOA Server must be running before you can configure Financial Close Management.

   Tip:

   SOA setup usually runs on two servers - an Admin Server running on port 7001, which hosts the Enterprise Management application, and a managed server running on port 8001, which hosts the SOA infrastructure. Log in to http://host:7001/em with your domain user name and password and check the status of both servers.

3. Apply the following patches for Oracle Fusion Middleware, available on My Oracle Support:

   • 11063511 - SPORADIC MISSING OF SUBJECT IN BUSINESS EVENT HEADER

   • 11864201 - PSE FOR MLR BUG 11864201 ON TOP OF 11.1.1.4.0 (PSE #536496)

   Shut down the Financial Close Management managed server, the SOA Server, and all managed servers before you apply a patch. Review the patch Readmes for information on how to apply a patch.

   For patch 11063511, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to ../Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1.

   For patch 11864201, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/oracle_common.

   Apply the patches on each machine on which SOA is installed.
