There are several prerequisite tasks you need to complete to prepare your environment for running the examples in this tutorial.
Before you begin this tutorial, make sure you review and complete the following tasks:
If you do not already have a database where you can install schemas, you must install and configure a certified database.
For a list of certified databases that you can use, refer to the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c certification document for your release, located on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported Systems Configuration page.
To install Fusion Middleware and use the Lifecycle Management Tools, you must download and install a certified Java Development Kit (JDK).
You should always verify the required JDK version by reviewing the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c certification document for your release, located on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported Systems Configuration page.
To download the required JDK, use your browser to navigate to the following URL and download the Java SE JDK:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
To install the Oracle SOA Suite sample topology, you need to obtain the necessary Oracle Fusion Middleware software.
Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.2.1.2.0) Infrastructure
Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.2.1.2.0) SOA Suite and Business Process Management
For specific information on the distributions you need to download, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration Readme Files on Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
After you have a JDK installed, download and install the latest version of Apache Groovy. Groovy is an open source tool that you will use to invoke Lifecycle Management standard actions and configure the sample topology.
You can download the Groovy distribution from the following location:
http://groovy-lang.org/install.html
The Lifecycle Management Tools sample file contains sample topology files, which you can edit using FMW Composer, and sample Apache Groovy code that will be used to invoke the standard actions.
create-domain-example.zip
file on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) to a directory on your system.create-domain-example.zip
file.create-domain-example.zip
file in the current directory.create-domain-example
appears in the current directory, and note the path to this directory on your system.Using the Infrastructure distribution and JDK you downloaded, install Infrastructure to create an Oracle home. When you install Infrastructure, the Lifecycle Management Tools are automatically installed into the Oracle home.
