Creating the installation source directory

Once you have downloaded the BDD media pack, you need to create the installation source directory. This is the location from which you will run the orchestration script, as well as the uninstallation script should you choose to uninstall the software.

You must also move the installation packages to the installation source directory and either extract or rename them (depending on the file) so that the orchestration script will recognize them.

Note: The installation source directory must contain at least 6GB of free disk space.

To create the installation source directory:

  1. On the Admin Server, choose a directory to be the installation source directory, or create a new one.
    The name and location of this directory are arbitrary, but both the configuration file and this document assume it is /localdisk/BDD_deployer.
  2. Within the installation source directory, create a new directory named packages.
  3. Move the following files from the download location to the /packages directory:
    • V75265-01.zip
    • V74470-01.zip
    • V74471-01.zip
    • V44413-01.zip
  4. Rename V74470-01.zip to bdd1.zip, and V74471-01.zip to bdd2.zip.
    This ensures that the orchestration script will recognize the BDD installation packages.
  5. Extract V44413-01.zip: 
    unzip V44413-01.zip
    This creates a file called fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar, which contains the WebLogic Server installer.
  6. Navigate back to the /BDD_deployer directory and extract V75265-01.zip: 
    cd ..
unzip packages/V75265-01.zip
    This creates a new directory within /BDD_deployer called installer, which contains the orchestration script, bdd.conf, and other files required by the orchestration script.
When you are finished, the /packages directory will contain the following:
The /installer directory will contain the following:
  • bdd.conf
  • BDD_installer.pl
  • deploy.sh
  • install.sh
  • /linux
  • setup.sh
  • undeploy.sh
  • uninstall.sh
Once you have moved the installation packages to the installation source directory, you should update the orchestration script's configuration file.
