Step1: Installing required software on multiple machines

As a first step in the cluster deployment, install WebLogic Server, ADF Runtime, and Endeca Server on each of the three machines on which you will be initially deploying an Endeca Server Cluster.

Before you start the installation, ensure that, on each of the machines:
  • The JDK is installed (you will need to point to its location).
  • Write access is provided to the shared file system on which the indexes for the data domains will be stored.

For a full list of software requirements, see Required Oracle products.

When you install the required software, only run the installers, but do not run the WebLogic domain configuration wizard.

To install the required software, on each machine:

  1. Install WebLogic Server in a secure mode.

    See Installing WebLogic Server.

  2. Install ADF Runtime package.

    See Installing Oracle ADF Runtime package.

  3. Install the Endeca Server in a secure mode.

    See Installing Oracle Endeca Server.

As a result of this task, you should have three machines on which the required software is installed, but the WebLogic Server is not yet running. Next, you need to create the Admin Server and the WebLogic domain for the Endeca Server application.
