The Oracle B2B and Healthcare distribution includes the software required to configure Oracle B2B or Oracle SOA for Healthcare.
Note:
For X12 HIPAA use cases, you can use the Oracle B2B domain extension steps described in this chapter. However, if you are a healthcare provider using HL7 documents, refer to Extending the Domain with Oracle SOA Suite for Healthcare Integration, and extend the domain with the Oracle SOA Suite for Healthcare Integration software.

, then the Oracle B2B software is already protected by automatic service migration.As you perform the tasks in this chapter, you will be referencing the directory variables listed in this section.
The values for several directory variables are defined in File System and Directory Variables Used in This Guide.
ORACLE_HOME
ASERVER_HOME
MSERVER_HOME
OHS_DOMAIN_HOME
JAVA_HOME
In addition, you'll be referencing the following virtual IP (VIP) addresses defined in Physical and Virtual IP Addresses Required by the Enterprise Topology:
ADMINVHN
Actions in this chapter will be performed on the following host computers:
SOAHOST1
SOAHOST2
WEBHOST1
WEBHOST2
Before extending the current domain, ensure that your existing deployment meets the prerequisites specified in this section.
Back up the installation - If you have not yet backed up the existing Fusion Middleware Home and domain, Oracle recommends backing it up now.
To back up the existing Fusion Middleware Home and domain, see Performing Backups and Recoveries in the SOA Enterprise Deployments.
There is an existing WL_HOME and SOA ORACLE_HOME (binaries) installed in previous chapters on a shared storage and available from SOAHOST1 and SOAHOST2.
Node Manager, Admin Server, SOA Servers and WSM Servers exist and have been configured as described in previous chapters to run a SOA system.
You do not need to run RCU to load additional schemas for B2B, these are part of the SOA repository and were loaded into the DB in the SOA chapter.
Use the following sections to install the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure software in preparation for configuring a new domain for an enterprise deployment.
To start the installation program, perform the following steps.
When the installation program appears, you are ready to begin the installation. See Navigating the Installation Screens for a description of each installation program screen.
Table 17-1 provides description of each installation program screen.

The contents of your installation vary based on the options you selected during the installation.
The addition of Oracle Healthcare will add the following directory and sub-directories:
ls /u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa/soa/thirdparty/edifecs/ Common STANDARDS XEngine
For more information about the directory structure you should see after installation, see "What are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories?" in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
You can also view the contents of your Oracle home using the viewInventory
script. For more information, see "Viewing the contents of an Oracle home" in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.
To extend the domain to include Oracle BAM, refer to the following sections.
Note:
If you added any customizations directly to the start scripts in the domain, those will be overwritten by the configuration wizard. To customize server startup parameters that apply to all servers in a domain, you can create a file called setUserOverrides.sh
and configure it, for example, add custom libraries to the WebLogic Server classpath, specify additional java command line options for running the servers, or specify additional environment variables. Any customizations you add to this file are preserved during domain upgrade operations, and are carried over to remote servers when using the pack
and unpack
commands.
To begin domain configuration:
Follow the instructions in this section to extend the domain for B2B.
Note:
You can use the same procedure described in this section to extend an existing domain. If your needs do not match the instructions given in the procedure, be sure to make your selections accordingly, or refer to the supporting documentation for additional details.
Domain creation and configuration includes the following tasks:
Task 1, "Selecting the Domain Type and Domain Home Location"
Task 5, "Reviewing Your Configuration Specifications and Configuring the Domain"
Task 6, "Writing Down Your Domain Home and Administration Server URL"
On the Configuration Type screen, select Update an existing domain.
In the Domain Location field, select the value of the ASERVER_HOME
variable, which represents the complete path to the Administration Server domain home you created in Creating the Initial Infrastructure Domain for an Enterprise Deployment.
For more information about the directory location variables, see File System and Directory Variables Used in This Guide
Tip:
More information about the other options on this screen can be found in Configuration Type in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.
On the Templates screen, make sure Update Domain Using Product Templates is selected, then select the following templates:
Oracle B2B - 12.2.1.0 [soa]
In addition, the following additional templates should already be selected, because they were used to create the initial domain and extend it to SOA:
Basic Weblogic Server Domain - 12.2.1.0 [wlserver]
Oracle SOA Suite 12.2.1.0 [soa]
Oracle Enterprise Manager - 12.2.1.0 [em]
Oracle WSM Policy Manager - 12.2.1.0 [oracle_common]
Oracle JRF - 12.2.1.0 [oracle_common]
WebLogic Coherence Cluster Extension - 12.2.1.0 [wlserver]
Tip:
More information about the options on this screen can be found in Templates in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.
All fields are pre-populated, because you already configured the domain to reference the Fusion Middleware schemas that are required for the Infrastructure domain. B2B uses the existing DataSources for SOA and no new Datasources need to be added to the domain.
Note:
Any custom data sources that were created before the extension (like LEASING data sources) will show up before this screen. Check the Datasources row and click Next. The test data source screen will verify its validity. Click Next.
To complete domain configuration for the topology, do not select any additional options on the Advanced Configuration screen and Click Next. B2B applications and required artifacts will be targeted automatically to the existing SOA servers
The Configuration Summary screen contains the detailed configuration information for the domain you are about to create. Review the details of each item on the screen and verify that the information is correct.
You can go back to any previous screen if you need to make any changes, either by using the Back button or by selecting the screen in the navigation pane.
Domain creation will not begin until you click Domain Update.
Tip:
More information about the options on this screen can be found in Configuration Summary in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.
The Configuration Success screen will show the following items about the domain you just configured:
Domain Location
Administration Server URL
You must make a note of both items as you will need them later; the domain location is needed to access the scripts used to start the Administration Server, and the URL is needed to access the Administration Server.
Click Finish to dismiss the configuration wizard.
Start the Administration Server to ensure the changes you have made to the domain have been applied.
For configuration changes and start scripts to be effective, you must restart the WLS_SOA server to which B2B has been added. Since B2B extends an already existing SOA system, the Administration Server and respective Node Managers are already running in SOAHOST1 and SOAHOST2.
To start the added B2B components, restart the Managed Servers:
Log into the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console at:
http://ADMINVHN:7001/em
In this example:
Replace ADMINVHN with the host name assigned to the ADMINVHN Virtual IP address in Identifying and Obtaining Software Downloads for an Enterprise Deployment.
Port 7001 is the typical port used for the Administration Server console and Fusion Middleware Control. However, you should use the actual URL that was displayed at the end of the Configuration Wizard session when you created the domain.
In the Domain Structure window, expand the Environment node, then select Servers.
The Summary of Servers page appears.
Click the Control tab.
Select WLS_SOA1 from the Servers column of the table.
Click Shutdown. Wait for the shutdown to complete (refresh the WebLogic Server Console page to verify shutdown status).
Click Start.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 for WLS_SOA2.
To set up File, FTP, or Email transports in a high availability environment, set the b2b.HAInstance property to true.
To do this follow these steps:
Make the following modifications to the Oracle HTTP Server instance configuration files to ensure that the Oracle HTTP Server instances in the Web tier can route Oracle B2B requests correctly to the Oracle B2B software on the Oracle SOA Suite cluster.
To enable Oracle HTTP Server to route requests to Oracle B2B Console and to Oracle B2B services:
Before you validate the Oracle B2B configuration on the Managed Servers, add the B2BAdmin
administration role to the enterprise deployment administration group (SOA Administrators
).
To perform this task, refer to Configuring Roles for Administration of Oracle SOA Suite Products.
Use the following steps to verify that the appropriate routing and failover is working from the load balancer to the HTTP Server instances to the B2B Suite Components on the Oracle SOA Suite Managed Server.
It is an Oracle best practices recommendation to create a backup after successfully configuring a domain or at another logical point. Create a backup after verifying that the installation so far is successful. This is a quick backup for the express purpose of immediate restoration in case of problems in later steps.
The backup destination is the local disk. You can discard this backup when the enterprise deployment setup is complete. After the enterprise deployment setup is complete, you can initiate the regular deployment-specific Backup and Recovery process.
For information about backing up your configuration, see Performing Backups and Recoveries for an Enterprise Deployment.
In the enterprise topology, Oracle B2B is configured on the existing Oracle SOA Suite Managed Servers. If you have already configured automatic service migration for the SOA_Cluster
, then the Oracle B2B software is already protected by automatic service migration.
If you have not configured automatic service migration for the Managed Servers where Oracle B2B is configured, then see Configuring Automatic Service Migration in an Enterprise Deployment.
In addition, you can optionally configure database-based persistent stores for Oracle B2B. For more information, see Using JDBC Persistent Stores for TLOGs and JMS in an Enterprise Deployment.
