Oracle OSB 11g installation steps

I have been trying for quite some time to come up with the correct steps required for a successful installation of Oracle 11g OSB so that OEPE can be integrated with weblogic server during design time itself.

So finally have a few internet links and pointers towards the correct installation steps. Here you go....


The steps from the beginning are as below-

1. Download wls1033_oepe111150_win32.exe from otn download site by clicking on "Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.3) + Coherence + OEPE" link. This has WLS along with coherence and the eclipse IDE with OSB capabilities.

2. Install it by extending an existing domain or creating a new one. Remember to create a domain with the check box - OSB Extension - All Domain Topologies clicked if you want to use the same server for running both SOA as well as OSB. For standalone OSB server you can select the Single Server Domain Topology. The next steps will let you create Admin and Managed servers (osb_server1).

3. Now download ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.3.0_disk1_1of1.zip from otn download site by clicking on "Generic Installer for all platforms". Once unzipped, run the set up by clicking on

inside Disk1 directory.



4. Select Typical install radio button and click Next. A screen as below should come up with the text boxes auto filled corresponding to your WLS+coherence+OEPE installation-
  

Click next. If all pre-requisites are met, the installation will start automatically and the log file will be available at C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.

5. You will see something as below as the installation progresses -

6.  Once done, start the admin server followed by the osb_server1 as the managed server.

Happy OSBing! :)
