2.4 Install and Configure Oracle Fusion Middleware

OHI Components run on an Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Server. This may also be referred to as Oracle WebLogic Server. When running on more than one managed server or node, the application servers should be configured as a cluster.

This guide assumes experience with the installation and set up of Oracle WebLogic Server. For details regarding the installation process please consult the product documentation.

The Certification information that is available for a specific release through My Oracle Support specifies the required Java version as well as the version of the Oracle WebLogic Server software that must be installed. It also lists the matching Oracle Application Development Runtime version that is required for any OHI Component.

This chapter briefly outlines the installation of the Oracle WebLogic Server software.

2.4.1 Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware and Creating a Domain

Start with the installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.1.3. After selecting the Oracle Home, choose Installation Type "WebLogic Server". Next, install the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure in the same Oracle Home. Choose Installation Type "Fusion Middleware Infrastructure".

A WebLogic Domain can be created using the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard or through the provided WLST scripts. When using the Configuration Wizard, make sure to select the following options on the Templates page (next to the Basic WebLogic Server Domain template that is selected by default):

• Oracle JRF - 12.1.3.0 [oracle_common]
• WebLogic Coherence Cluster Extension - 12.1.3.0 [wlserver]

Note that the WebLogic Coherence Cluster Extension is required with the Oracle JRF template. Any other templates are optional and are not required for running OHI Components applications. When using the Configuration Wizard, Oracle recommends to accept the default Coherence Cluster Name and Unicast Listen Port. Coherence Cluster settings will be adjusted through the WebLogic Administration Console.
