Installing Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.2

The examples in this document assume you are using a Windows based platform. If you are installing the Oracle WebLogic Server on a UNIX machine, some of the files names and directories may be slightly different. When installing on UNIX, the Oracle web tier components should be installed using a non-root user.

  1. Download the “Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c WebLogic Server and Coherence (12.1.2.0.0)" package that is appropriate for your platform from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud site (https://edelivery.oracle.com). The file name of the installer is wls_121200.jar. Refer to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Certifications for more information.

  2. Unzip the downloaded file into a temporary directory on the machine you are targeting for installation.

  3. Open a Command window with Run as Administrator option and run this command from the prompt:

    >java -jar wls_121200.jar

    For HP-UX and Solaris use the '-d64' option:

    >java –jar –d64 wls_121200.jar

    The first screen you will see is the Welcome screen.
