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, as described in Oracle WebLogic Server requirement.
  • Endeca Server installation package: Oracle Endeca Server (7.7) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) or Oracle Endeca Server (7.7) 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 WebLogic Server package, which extracts the fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar file.
    2. Copy the fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar file into the Installers directory.
  3. 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.
  4. 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:
  • fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar file
  • endecaserver.zip file
  • windows or linux directory

Note that you should not unpack the endecaserver.zip file. These is 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.
