WebLogic Deployment

Admin Console Deployment in WebLogic :

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation steps, you must have the following components:

  • Supported Weblogic version (12.2.1.2) installed on a supported OS.
  • Administrative rights to the server.
  • Oracle Insurance Admin Console v11.2.0.0 Media Pack .

Admin Console Setup

  1. Create a directory on the WebLogic server to store various configuration files for OIPA (i.e., /opt/oracle/oipa/ or C:\oracle\adminconsole).
  2. Create subdirectories inside the directory from Step 1 called conf, libs and war.
  3. Copy AdminConsole-weblogic.war file from the AdminConsole-weblogic-distribution.zip distribution zip file into the war subdirectory
  4. Copy the following configuration files from AdminConsole distribution zip/conf directory into the conf directory:
    1. ac.properties
    2. ac-oipa-jmxconnection-content.xml

      3. This ac-oipa-jmxconnection-content.xml file will have the ports to listen to cycle web servers. Based on count of cycle web managed servers , those many nodes should be created. port of this node should match with port that given in the cycle web arguments.

  1. Copy the following files from the AdminConsole distribution zip/libs directory into the libs directory:
    1. commons-logging-1.2.jar
  2. Create a directory to store database driver jar files for AdminConsole(i.e., /opt/oracle/db_drivers/ or C:\oracle\db_drivers).
  3. Copy the database drivers for your database into this directory.
    1. Oracle – The necessary driver, ojdbc8-12.2.0.1.jar, is included in the libs directory of the OIPA Media Pack.
    2. Microsoft SQL Server – download the sqljdbc4.jar library version 4.0 from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.sqlserver/sqljdbc4/4.0
    3. IBM DB2 – The two necessary .jar files (db2jcc4 and db2jcc4_license_cu) are included with the purchase of the DB2 software. These files are not available for download. Contact your IT department if you need assistance locating these files.
  4. Use a text editor to open the ac.properties file that you just copied to the server. The ac.properties file contains properties for Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 database types, with the Oracle settings active by default. The inactive settings are commented out with a '#' character at the start of each line. To change a setting, remove the '#' from the required property setting, and insert it at the beginning of the setting you want to de-activate.
