Pre-Installation Tasks

The following tasks should be completed before you install the integration package:

1. Verify that Oracle SOA Suite 12c is installed and running.
For more information, refer to the documentation at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/documentation/index.html.

2. Login to the WebLogic Server Administration console to confirm there are no changes in Pending Activation status.

Complete this step to verify that the WebLogic Server is in a healthy state. If any items are in Pending Activation status, then there is likely an issue on the server. All issues must be resolved before you can proceed with the installation.

3. Start Node Manager, if not already running.

4. Restart the WebLogic Managed server and the WebLogic Admin server.

5. Verify that the Weblogic Admin Server, Managed Server, and Node Manager are up and running.

Note: The syntax for PRODUCT_HOME changes depending on whether you are installing on Linux or Windows. The following sections refer to this as $PRODUCT_HOME/ in Linux and as %PRODUCT_HOME%\ in Windows. In general, note that the forward slash (/) is used as the path separator on Linux and the back slash (\) is used on Windows.

Excusing any inadvertent syntax errors in this guide, these conventions should be followed for all commands depending on your operating system.

Also, as installation commands and arguments are lengthy, please copy the installation commands in a text file and verify that the command is formatted correctly without any syntax or formatting errors.
