Installing WebLogic Server

If you're not installing Studio or the Provisioning Service on the same server as Endeca Server, then you need to install WebLogic Server.

1. Download the WebLogic Server installation package:
   1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-for-dev-1703574.html.
   2. Select the Accept License Agreement radio button.
   3. Under Oracle WebLogic Server Previous Releases, locate the heading for Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.3.
   4. Download the Generic version of the installer (fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar).
2. From a command prompt, navigate to the directory where you placed fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar.
3. Launch the installer by running:

   java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar

   When the installer runs, it displays the installation wizard's Welcome screen.
4. At the Welcome screen, click Next.
   
   

   

   
   
5. At the Installation Location screen, enter the name of the Middleware home directory in the Oracle Home field.
   This will be the $MW_HOME directory of your installation. You can either accept the default location or enter a new one. The directory name may only contain alphanumeric, hyphen (-) , dot (.), and underscore (_) characters, and must begin with an alphanumeric character.
   If the specified directory exists, it must be empty. If it doesn't exist, the installer will create it.
   Click Next when you're done.
   
   

   

   
   
6. At the Installation Type screen, leave WebLogic Server selected and click Next.
   
   

   

   
   
7. At the Prerequisite Checks screen, wait for the installer to verify your operating system and Java version, then click Next.
   
   

   

   
   
8. At the Security Updates screen, if you want to receive security updates, enter your support details and click Next.
   If you don't want to receive updates, uncheck I wish to receive security updates via My Oracle Support, click Next, then click Yes in the pop-up.
   
   

   

   
   
9. At the Installation Summary screen, verify that you're installing the correct products, then click Install.
   
   

   

   
   
10. At the Installation Progress screen, wait for the installation to complete, then click Next.
    
    

    

    
    
11. At the Installation Complete screen, uncheck Automatically Launch the Configuration Wizard, then click Finish to exit the installer.
    You'll configure WebLogic Server later in the installation process.
