Install software

Java

You will need some sort of Java; I have none, and chose to use JRockit. Installing:

[oracle@idm1 ~]$ /oracle/install/Software/weblogic/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0-linux-x64.bin Extracting 0%....................................................................................................100%

No Demoes, no source code.

WebLogic

Oracle left the Apache camp, and now wants WebLogic. From what I've seen, not much logic in the product, and it is sloooowwwww to start, and a memory hog. Anyway, prepare by creating the middleware installation directory needed, and install weblogic 10.3.6. Beware, wls and Identity Management product versions are closely coupled. ROT: wls version = IAM version.

[oracle@idm1 ~]$ export PATH=/oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0/jre/bin:$PATH [oracle@idm1 ~]$ mkdir /oracle/middleware [oracle@idm1 ~]$ java -jar -d64 /oracle/install/Software/weblogic/wls1036_generic.jar Extracting 0%.......

Choose a Custom install - I have a single machine, not a grid.

Hence, no Coherence. Don't care for an Evaluation db, either.

That's all:

IAM Suite

[oracle@idm1 ~]$ /oracle/install/Software/OFM/11.1.2.0/IAMSuite/Disk1/runInstaller -jreLoc /oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0 Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking if CPU speed is above 300 MHz. Actual 3379 MHz Passed Checking Temp space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 31827 MB Passed Checking swap space: must be greater than 512 MB. Actual 8015 MB Passed Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 16777216 Passed

Then, the prerequisites fail; on the log, you'll find:

contextFile:/tmp/OraInstall2013-01-15_05-33-27PM/prereq/oui/agent_prereq_context.xml The entry point is: oracle.installType.all Check Name:CertifiedVersions Check Description:This is a prerequisite condition to test whether the Oracle software is certified on the current O/S or not. $$$$$DEBUG>>>>CertifiedVersions Expected result: One of oracle-6,oracle-5.6,enterprise-5.4,enterprise-4,enterprise-5,redhat-6.1,redhat-6,redhat-5.4,redhat-4,redhat-5,SuSE-10,SuSE-11 Actual Result: oracle-Oracle Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<

Not much more to do than edit the refhost.xml file in your install directory, under /prereq/linux64 (if your architecture is Linux 64 bits, of course).

Change "6" into "oracle" (or scroll down to your version of OUL)

That will get you a bit further:

Some libraries do not have both architectures - fail to see why the would be needed now, as we're just installing. Configuring, along with relink (where these libs come in) is done later, so I'll put it on the to-do list for now.

And, some half hour later:

SOA Suite

The SOA suite comes disguised as a patch, but it is a complete install:

[oracle@idm1 ~]$ /oracle/install/Software/OFM/11.1.2.0/SOA/Disk1/runInstaller -jreLoc /oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0 Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking if CPU speed is above 300 MHz. Actual 3379 MHz Passed Checking Temp space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 28680 MB Passed Checking swap space: must be greater than 512 MB. Actual 8015 MB Passed Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 16777216 Passed

I did change the refhost.xml in the installation directory (subdir Disk1/stage/prereq) in the same way as above

The 11.1.1.6.0 "Patch"

The Libraries error - on the To-Do list

Leave default, as previously. Completed the install:

Directory Services

update: see article on Unified Directory!

I want to see the new OID, so I'll install Directory services, too. You would probably install this on another machine, but it does use the same repository database.
Update your refhost.xml before starting:

[oracle@idm1 ~]$ /oracle/install/Software/OFM/11.1.2.0/OFM11.1.1.6.0_Patch/Disk1/runInstaller -jreLoc /oracle/jrockit-jdk1.6.0 Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking Temp space: must be greater than 400 MB. Actual 27014 MB Passed Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 8015 MB Passed Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 16777216 Passed
