4 Getting Started With Oracle WebLogic Server

This chapter provides the procedures for creating an instance of an Oracle WebLogic Server. It includes creating an Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index (OHMPI) project, starting the OHMPI wizard, adding the WebLogic Server, and a listing where instructions for creating, configuring, and building a Master Person Index application are located.

This chapter includes the following section:

• Creating an Instance of an Oracle WebLogic Server

Creating an Instance of an Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle recommends hosting OHMPI on a dedicated WebLogic Server instance.

The OHMPI wizard provides a simple and transparent method for you to create your master person index application on the Oracle WebLogic Server. You have to add an Oracle WebLogic Server Instance or select an Oracle WebLogic Server Instance if you already have one or more instances. This process is divided into three individual steps, listed below.

• Creating a Project and Starting the OHMPI Wizard

• Adding an Oracle WebLogic Server

• Creating, Configuring, and Building a Master Person Index Application

For additional information on the Oracle WebLogic Server, see Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Release 3 documentation.

Oracle WebLogic Server Requirements

The Oracle WebLogic Server requires:

• NetBeans IDE 8.0

• JDK 1.7.0_75 and later

• WebLogic 12cR2 (12.1.2) or above

Creating a Project and Starting the OHMPI Wizard

This section documents the steps to create an OHMPI project and start the OHMPI wizard.

To Create a Project and Start the OHMPI Wizard

1. On the NetBeans toolbar, click New Project.

2. Under Categories, select OHMPI.

3. Under Projects, select Master Person Index Application and then click Next.

   The New Master Person Index Application page appears.

4. Type the project name and the path where you want to store the project files in the upper portion of the window.

Adding an Oracle WebLogic Server

This section provides the steps for adding an instance of an Oracle WebLogic Server.

To Add an Oracle WebLogic Server

1. On the New Master Person Index Application page, if an Oracle WebLogic Server instance is not listed in the Server drop-down list, click Manage to add it.

   Note:

   If an Oracle WebLogic Server instance is listed in the Server field, or if you can select it from the drop-down list, click Next to continue to Creating, Configuring, and Building a Master Person Index Application.

   The Servers page appears without the WebLogic Server listed under Servers.

   Note:

   If there is a server listed, its properties display on the right side of the page.

2. Click Add Server.

   The Add Server Instance page appears.

3. In the Server list, select Oracle WebLogic Server.

4. In the Name field, enter the instance name of your Oracle WebLogic Server (for example, Oracle WebLogic Server 12cR3).

5. Click Next.

   The Add Server Instance page moves to the second step.

6. Under Server Location, browse to the root location of your Oracle WebLogic Server instance.

   Note:

   Optionally, you can type the root location of your Oracle WebLogic Server instance (for example, C:\Oracle\Weblogic12cR3\wlserver).

7. Click Next.

   The Add Server Instance page moves to the third step, Instance Properties. The fields have been populated except for the password.

8. Type a password for your Oracle WebLogic Server Instance.

   Note:

   Do not change the Instance Properties that were populated for you.

9. Click Finish.

   The Servers page reappears with the WebLogic Server you created listed on the left side of the page. Its properties are displayed on the right side of the page.

   Note:

   If there is more than one server in the list, select the server you created to display its properties.

10. Click Close.

    The name of the Oracle WebLogic Server instance you defined should appear in the Server field under Name and Location on the right side of the New Master Index Application page.

11. Do one of the following:

    • If the Oracle WebLogic Server instance is listed in the Server drop-down list, click Next.

    • If the Oracle WebLogic Server instance is not listed in the Server drop-down list, select it from the drop-down list and click Next.

You are now ready to move on to the third step of this process, Creating, Configuring, and Building a Master Person Index Application.

Creating, Configuring, and Building a Master Person Index Application

The generic instructions to create, configure, and build a master person index application are documented elsewhere. To perform these tasks see:

• Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index User's Guide

• Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index Configuration Guide

• Oracle Healthcare Master Person Index User's Guide

There is nothing for you to do as there are no specific procedures that are relevant to the Oracle WebLogic Server that you need to perform. The OHMPI wizard automatically generates and packages the artifacts of Oracle WebLogic Server for you.
