6 Adding Components to a Quick Start Installation

This chapter reviews the processes for adding Oracle Enterprise Scheduler, Oracle B2B, Oracle Healthcare, Oracle Business Activity Monitoring, and Oracle Managed File Transfer to your Quick Start installation. It also describes how to obtain an Oracle Event Processing runtime environment.

You should use this chapter to walk through the installation process for each component that you can add to a Quick Start installation. You can also use this chapter to add components to a completely configured compact domain.

This chapter includes the following sections:

6.1 About Adding Components to a Quick Start Installation

Certain components do not work in a standard Quick Start installation because they require an Oracle database. Configuring your Quick Start installation to use an Oracle database is covered in Chapter 3 for Oracle SOA Suite or Chapter 5 for Oracle Business Process Management Suite.

To add B2B, Healthcare, or Managed File Transfer, you need to download the installers for Oracle B2B, Oracle Healthcare, and Oracle Managed File Transfer. These installers are discussed in Section 6.2. There are not separate Quick Start installers for these components, so you will download the same installers designed for a full Production installation of Oracle® Fusion Middleware.

Oracle Business Activity Monitoring and Oracle Enterprise Scheduler do not have separate installers. The compact domain can be configured for these components directly in the domain configuration wizard. Using the domain configuration wizard to update a compact domain is covered in Section 6.3.

Tip:

To minimize the number of times you have to invoke the Repository Creation Utility and the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard, run all installers for all of the components that you want to add before launching the RCU or the Configuration Wizard. Each installer will activate a set of product-specific schemas and provide a set of product-specific configuration templates.

You may also want a runtime environment that can run applications using Oracle Event Processing components. This process is reviewed in Section 6.4.

6.2 Installing Oracle B2B, Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, or Oracle Managed File Transfer for Quick Start

This section assumes that you have already installed one of the Quick Start distributions described in Chapter 1 and want to add Oracle B2B, Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration, or Oracle Managed File Transfer to your distribution. For these components, you need to download and run installers before configuring a compact domain.

This section covers the following installation processes:

6.2.1 Installing Oracle B2B for Quick Start

This section covers how to install Oracle B2B for Quick Start. Make sure you understand the installation options for Oracle B2B, as described in Section 1.5.2.

The section contains the following topics:

6.2.1.1 Activating a Limited Oracle B2B Interface Without Configuring a Compact Domain

To activate a limited Oracle B2B user interface without installing Oracle B2B in a compact domain, set the following Oracle B2B property in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control:

b2b.docPluginList=Custom

If you do not set this property, inbound documents will fail with an XEngine lookup error. You will be able to use Custom Documents with this interface.

For more information about using the MBean browser, see "Getting Started Using the Fusion Middleware Control MBean Browsers" in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

6.2.1.2 Installing Oracle B2B for Quick Start

Oracle B2B and Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration share the same installer. Obtain the installer zip file labeled fmw_12.1.3.0.0_b2b_Disk1_1of1.zip.

Using the command prompt, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer. Unzip the contents. You may have several .jar files, but you will only need to launch fmw_12.1.3.0.0_b2bhealthcare.jar.

6.2.2.2 Activating the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration User Interface

This section describes how to activate the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration user interface to replace the default Oracle B2B interface. Make sure you understand the user interface options described in Section 1.5.3 before proceeding.

You should have already run the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration installer and chosen the B2B with Healthcare installation option. If you have done so, complete the following steps:

  1. Run the RCU. On the Custom Variables screen, input Yes for the Healthcare Integration variable. This creates additional materialized views required by the Healthcare integration software.

    If you do not set this custom variable when creating the SOA schemas for your domain, the Healthcare Integration User Interface will not function properly.

    Note:

    If you already ran the RCU for a previous component and did not input YES for the Healthcare Integration custom variable, you can still set this variable by running the following SQL script on the database:

    ORACLE_HOME/common/sql/soainfra/sql/oracle/b2b_mv.sql

    For more information about the Healthcare Integration variable you set in RCU, see "About the Custom Variables Required for the SOA Suite Schemas" in Installing and Configuring Oracle SOA Suite and Business Process Management

  2. Run the domain configuration wizard. On the Templates screen, select the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration - 12.1.3.0 [soa] template. This changes the default message delivery mode from AQ to JMS, as Healthcare is not supported in AQ mode.

For more information on the Oracle SOA Suite for healthcare integration user interface's functionality, see "Using the Oracle SOA Suite for Healthcare Integration User Interface" in Healthcare Integration User's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite.
