This chapter describes how you can use the Middleware Provisioning solution offered in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to provision an Service Bus Domain or/and an Oracle Home.
Note:
Before provisioning an Service Bus Domain/Oracle Home, you must downloaded and apply the patch 20046866.
In particular, this chapter contains the following topics:
This section helps you get started by providing an overview of the steps involved in provisioning WebLogic Domain and Middleware Home using the Fusion Middleware Deployment procedure.

Step 1 |
Selecting the Use Case. This chapter covers the use cases for provisioning an Service Bus Domain and Service Bus Home. Select the use case that best matches your requirements. |
|
Step 2 |
Meeting Prerequisites to Provision a Middleware Profile Before you run the Fusion Middleware Deployment Procedure, there are a few prerequisites that you must meet. |
To learn about the prrequisites for provisioning an Service Bus domain or home, see Before you Begin Provisioning Service Bus Domain and Oracle Home. |
Step 3 |
Running the Fusion Middleware Deployment Procedure Run this deployment procedure to successfully provision a Weblogic Domain and/or an Oracle Home. |
To learn about provisioning from an Installation Media Profile or an Oracle Home Profile, see Provisioning of a new Fusion Middleware Domain from an Installation Media Based-Profile or an Oracle Home Based-Profile. To learn about provisioning from a WebLogic Domain Profile, see Provisioning a Fusion Middleware Domain from an Existing Oracle Home. To provision from an existing home, see Cloning from an Existing WebLogic Domain Based-Profile. To scale out from an Service Bus domain, see Scaling Up / Scaling Out Fusion Middleware Domains. |
The versions listed in the following table support Service Bus provisioning.
Product | Version |
---|---|
Oracle Repository Creation Utility (RCU) |

Oracle Service Bus |

You must keep the things to keep in mind before you actually start creating middleware profiles and provisioning from these profiles.
In particular, this section contains the following topics:
In a typical data center, the main users of Deployment Procedures are Designers (Lead Administrators) and Operators. Deployment Procedure privileges enable users to perform some design-time activities such as creating the profiles, granting accesses on the profile, creating profile lock-downs, and run-time activities like running the Deployment Procedure to provision software applications.
For Middleware Provisioning, you will need to create Administrators with the following roles:
Role: EM Super Administrator
Table 26-2 lists the roles based on which you can create administrators for Middleware Provisioning.
Table 26-2 Creating Administrators with the Required Roles
Enterprise Manager Role | Description |
---|---|
EM_PROVISIONING_DESIGNER |
Role has privileges for provisioning designer |
EM_PROVISIONING_OPERATOR |
Role has privileges for provisioning operator |
For instructions to create administrators with these roles, see Creating Enterprise Manager User Accounts.
Oracle recommends that you set the Named Credentials for normal operating system user account (Oracle) and Named Credentials for privileged user accounts (root) to perform any of the provisioning tasks in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.
For instructions to set the Named Credentials, see Setting Up Credentials.
You must have cloned a database from the source domain at the same time that the domain was being cloned. To clone a database, you must have discovered the source database as a managed target in Enterprise Manager, following which you can create a profile out of the source database, and then provision the profile to complete the cloning process.
This use case describes how you can perform a first time install of Oracle Fusion Middleware software, and first time provisioning of a WebLogic Domain. This is particularly useful when you do not have an existing domain in your data center, or if you do not wish to clone from a provisioning profile based upon an existing domain. To do so, follow these steps:
This use case describes how you can create a Gold Image from an existing Oracle Home (Service Bus) that has perhaps been patched, and provision this using the Oracle Home profile. This is particularly useful when you need to install Oracle Fusion Middleware software with or without a new WebLogic Domain.
EM_PROVISIONING_DESIGNER
role) to create an Oracle Home (Service Bus) Profile. To do so, follow the steps mentioned in Creating a Provisioning Profile Based on an Oracle Home.This use case describes how you can clone a WebLogic Domain from a provisioning profile based upon an existing WebLogic Domain. This is particularly useful when you need to install Oracle Fusion Middleware software and configure a new WebLogic Domain.
EM_PROVISIONING_DESIGNER
role) to create a WebLogic Domain Profile. To do so, follow the steps mentioned in Creating a Provisioning Profile Based on a WebLogic Domain.If you have an Oracle Home that you want to provision as it is (without having to create a profile), then you can do so by select the Oracle Home source target in the Provision Fusion Middleware procedure. For more information, see Provisioning a Fusion Middleware Domain from an Existing Oracle Home.
To scale up a Service Bus Domain to include one or more managed servers, run the Scaleup/Scale Out Middleware procedure from the Deployment Procedures table on the Middleware Provisioning page. For more information, see Scaling Up / Scaling Out Fusion Middleware Domains.
