Part II Tutorial: Installing and Configuring Oracle SOA Suite Using the LCM Tools

This tutorial shows you how to use the Lifecycle Management (LCM) Tools to install and configure Oracle SOA Suite on a single host on Oracle Linux.

In this tutorial, you will download a sample zip file that contains sample topology files, make edits to the topology files in FMW Composer, and then use Apache Groovy to invoke Lifecycle Management standard actions on the environment.

The tutorial includes the following topics:

• About the Lifecycle Management Tools Tutorial
  The Lifecycle Management Tools tutorial guides you through the steps of obtaining the sample topology and sample code from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), editing the various elements of the topology, and configuring the topology based on the information you specify in a topology file.
• Performing Prerequisite Tasks
  There are several prerequisite tasks you need to complete to prepare your environment for running the examples in this tutorial.
• Using the Wallet Manager Tool to Set Up a Wallet
  To perform lifecycle operations using the LCM tools, password credentials must be stored in a wallet. As a result, you need to set up an Oracle wallet that contains the required credentials to run the create-domain action, such as the user name and password used for connecting to the database.
• Using the Lifecycle Management Tools to Install Oracle SOA Suite
  Follow these steps to use Apache Groovy to run the install-oraclehome standard action, which will install Oracle SOA Suite into the Infrastructure Oracle home you created.
• Creating the Database Schemas
  Before you configure the Oracle SOA Suite domain, use the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to install the required schemas on a certified database.
• Using the Lifecycle Management Tools to Configure the SOA Suite Domain
  After installing Oracle SOA Suite and creating the database schemas, follow these steps to use Apache Groovy to run the create-domain standard action and create the domain.
