4 OHF and OHTR Middle Tier in OCI

This section provides guidelines to install OHF and OHTR Middle Tier in OCI. This allows you to create login users in the Weblogic console, assign roles (groups) to users, and access the OHTR and OHF applications.

There are two approaches to having the OHF/OHTR Middle Tier in OCI.

The first approach is to provision a compute instance and install OHF & OHTR in the VM (like on-premises installation). Provision a compute instance of any desired shape in OCI and install the JDK and Weblogic Fusion Middleware versions as mentioned in the installation guidelines. Further install the OHF & OHTR Middle Tier using the OHF & OHTR OUI Installer, following the respective installation guideline books. This approach is generally recommended: the OHF and OHTR Database is installed directly on a compute instance rather than on OCI ADW. This model follows the IaaS approach.

The second approach is to provision Weblogic that’s available in OCI Marketplace. OCI Marketplace has the option of using BYOL (Bring Your Own License) or using the Paid pricing model, that’s priced for usage. This approach of using Weblogic from Market place has the advantage that Weblogic installation and patching be done by OCI.

  This section shows how to use Oracle Weblogic Server for OCI.
• Install OHF and OHTR applications
  Now that Weblogic is provisioned with the data sources, you can proceed with the OHF and OHTR application installations.
• Use Compute Instance (IaaS) Model to install OHF & OHTR in OCI
  This section describes how to obtain the compute instance and install the software needed for the OHF & OHTR Middle Tier.
