Prerequisites

Before you can create an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must meet or complete several prerequisites.

Note:

Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instances created in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure require certain networking and storage resources that you must create in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Prerequisites	Details
License	For BYOL, an Oracle SOA Suite 14c (14.1.2.0) license. See About the Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace License. Note: Currently, Oracle SOA Suite 14c (14.1.2.0) does not support B2B. For Oracle SOA Suite 12c (12.2.1.4), if using Oracle B2B, then Oracle B2B license.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources	A compartment for your Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instances. See Create a Compartment. A virtual cloud network (VCN) with at least one public subnet. See Set Up a Virtual Cloud Network. If provisioning an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance in an existing subnet, configure security lists. See Configure Security Lists. A secure shell (SSH) public/private key pair. See Generate a Secure Shell (SSH) Public/Private Key Pair. If using Key Management Service Vault Secrets during provisioning, create vault secrets for storing the passwords. See Creating a Secret in a Vault.
Database	If any of the following: An Oracle Cloud Infrastructure base database Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) Oracle Exadata Database Service database are not preprovisioned and provided as an input when configuring an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, then you have to create a database. See Create an Oracle Database for Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace.
(optional) JDeveloper, to deploy SOA projects post-provisioning	Oracle JDeveloper 12.2.1.4.0, available from the Oracle JDeveloper Software page.

Prior to using Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace, you should be familiar with the following:

Oracle Cloud

Create and configure your account on Oracle Cloud. See Overview of Oracle Cloud Subscriptions in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.

Oracle Compute VMs

Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace runs on Oracle Compute VMs. See Overview of the Compute Service in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

Oracle WebLogic Server

Applications are deployed to Oracle WebLogic Server. Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace supports Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.2.0.0.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing service

To provide load balancing for applications, Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer. See Overview of Load Balancing in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

Using the load balancer is optional. It is recommended that you use the load balancer when you configure more than one Managed Server in your environment. You can enable the load balancer during provisioning (see Provision an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace Instance in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console) or add it after provisioning (see Add or Delete a Load Balancer Post-Provisioning).
