Install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure (WebLogic Server)

Oracle BI Applications requires Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12.2.1.4.

1. Download the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Installer from the Download page for Oracle Fusion Middleware Software.
2. For Linux systems, review the general UNIX operating system requirements, and verify the locale and open file limit settings as described in Oracle® Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications 12c (12.2.1.4.0). Oracle recommends a high value for ulimit. A low value of open file limit and the number of processes limit can cause installation failure. As the root user, do the following:
   1. Edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file and save the following values.

      * hard nofile 999999
      * soft nofile 999999
      * soft nproc 131072
      * hard nproc 131072
      * soft core unlimited
      * hard core unlimited

      The nofile values represent the open file limit; the nproc values represent the number of processes limit.

   2. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add following line to change the number of file descriptors.
      fs.file-max = 26815744
   3. Run the following command to apply the view the settings.
      sysctl -p
   4. Run the following command to verify if the value of fs.file-max is set to 26815744.
      cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
   5. Run the following command to view the PAM limits.
      sudo vi /etc/pam.d/common-session
3. Copy the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Installer to the middleware host and unzip it.
4. Set JAVA_HOME, and then start the Oracle WebLogic Server installation by using this command: $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar fmw_12.2.1.4.0_infrastructure.jar
5. Select the inventory location, such as /scratch/biapps/installation/InvWLS and click OK.
6. Select the Oracle Home location, such as /scratch/biapps/Oracle/Middleware/NEW_ORACLE_HOME and click Next.
7. Click Next until you complete the install steps.
