Setting up the installer source directory

This topic describes how to set up the directory that will contain all the installers and the orchestration script files.

This procedure assumes that you have downloaded these packages:
  • Generic version of the Oracle WebLogic installer, which is downloaded as a V29856-01.zip file as described in Oracle WebLogic Server requirement.
  • Oracle ADF (Application Development Framework) Runtime 11.1.1.6 product installer, which is downloaded in a V29673-01.zip file as described in Oracle ADF Runtime requirement.
  • Endeca Server installation package: Oracle Endeca Server (7.6) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) or Oracle Endeca Server (7.6) for Linux x86-64.

Each Endeca Server package contains ZIP files for the Oracle Endeca Server installer and the orchestration script for either Windows or Linux. You will be unzipping one of these Endeca Server packages into the Installers directory.

To set up the installation source directory:

  1. Create a directory for the installation files.

    The name of the installation source directory is arbitrary, but this procedure assumes that Installers is the name of the directory.

  2. To set up the Oracle WebLogic installer:
    1. Unpack the V29856-01.zip file, which extracts the wls1036_generic.jar file.
    2. Copy the wls1036_generic.jar file into the Installers directory.
  3. To set up the Oracle ADF Runtime installer:
    1. Rename the V29673-01.zip file to: ofm_appdev_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip
    2. Copy the ofm_appdev_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip file into the Installers directory.
  4. Unpack the Windows or Linux version of the Endeca Server package into the Installers directory.
    The following files are unpacked:
    • endecaserver.zip — Oracle Endeca Server installation ZIP.
    • windows_OC.zip or linux_OC.tar (depending on which package you unzipped) — ZIP or TAR file containing the Endeca Server orchestration script and configuration file.
  5. Unpack the windows_OC.zip or linux_OC.tar file (depending on your operating system) into the Installers directory.
    The unpacking creates a directory named windows (from windows_OC.zip) or linux (from linux_OC.tar). These directories contain the orchestration script and the script configuration file.
As a result, the Installers directory should contain these artifacts:
  • wls1036_generic.jar file
  • ofm_appdev_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip file
  • endecaserver.zip file
  • windows or linux directory

Note that you should not unpack the ofm_appdev_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip or endecaserver.zip files. These two ZIP files are automatically unzipped by the orchestration script, and therefore must exist in the ZIP format.

The next task is to edit the configuration file for the orchestration script.
