WebLogic Server 12.2.1.2.0: Installation on the Linux OEL 7: step by step instruction

Kategorie    Step by Step

Introduction

This post describes the installation of the WebLogic Server Version 12.2.1.2.0

The following tasks are performed and described:

  • Preparing the Operating System for the installation of the WebLogic Server 12.2.1.2
  • Installation JDK 1.8 and the WebLogic Server 12.2.1.2

The installation will be proceeding on the Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.2: host03.example.com

Pre-installation Tasks

This chapter describes some tasks of preparation for the Operating System and the Database.

For more information please refer to the document System requirements and Specifications

Install and configure the database

The WebLogic Server needs a preinstalled database. Please create a database and configure it according to documentation System requirements and Specifications, chapter 1.5.2

Database version is:

  • Equal to or higher than 11.2.0.4 for 11g Release 2 databases
  • Equal to or higher than 12.1.0.1 for 12c databases

Character set: AL32UTF8

Parameter (Minimum Required Value):

  • SHARED_POOL_SIZE:    145 MB
  • SGA_MAX_SIZE:    145 MB
  • DB_BLOCK_SIZE:    8 KB
  • session_cached_cursors: 100
  • processes:        500
  • open_cursors:        800
  • db_files:        600

Create user oracle and group oinstall (as OS User root)

[root@host03 ~]# groupadd -g 501 oinstall

[root@host03 ~]# useradd -u 500 -g oinstall oracle

[root@host03 ~]# usermod -g oinstall oracle

[root@host03 ~]# id oracle
uid=500(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall)

[root@host03 ~]# mkdir /u01/app/oracle

[root@host03 ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle

Enable Unicode Support

Oracle Documentation:

Your operating system configuration can influence the behavior of characters supported by Oracle Fusion Middleware products.

On UNIX operating systems, Oracle highly recommends that you enable Unicode support by setting the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to a locale with the UTF-8 character set. This enables the operating system to process any character in Unicode

Check if Unicode is enabled on the Server:

[root@host03 ]# locale

LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Kernel Parameter

Set the Value for the Parameter SHMMAX to min. 4294967295 in the file /etc/sysctl.conf (as root):

kernel.shmmax = 4294967295

Apply changes:

/sbin/sysctl -p

If some packages are missed:

Find the package with „yum search <package name>“ and the install the package with „yum install …“

Set the OS Limits (as root)

Add following rows to the file /etc/security/limits.conf:

* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 65536
* soft nproc 2047
* hard nproc 16384

Add following rows to the file /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf:

* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 65536
* soft nproc 2047
* hard nproc 16384

Prepare the installation media (as OS User oracle)

Download the following software from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud: Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12.2.1.2

Download the Java Development Kit from the Oracle Technology Network Portal:

http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u111-b14/jdk-8u111-linux-x64.tar.gz

Create directories and copy the installation media into directories (as OS User oracle)

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/software/FMW/12.2.1.2.0/FM_Infra_12.2.1.2

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ cp V779122-01.zip /u01/app/oracle/software/FMW/12.2.1.2.0/FM_Infra_12.2.1.2

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ mkdir –p /u01/app/oracle/software/FMW/12.2.1.2.0/JDK

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ cp jdk-8u111-linux-x64.tar.gz /u01/app/oracle/software/FMW/12.2.1.2.0/JDK

Prepare the directory structure for the WebLogic 12.2.1.1 (as OS User oracle):

[oracle@host03 ~]# cd /u01/app/oracle/product

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/JAVA

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/FMW

Set the variable umask to 0027 (as OS User oracle):

[oracle@host01 oracle]$ echo "umask 027" >> ~oracle/.bash_profile

Create symbolic link between the new motif library and the old one:

If you decide to install and configure Oracle Forms and Reports on the Linux OEL 7 / RedHat 7 execute the Step from MOS Note „Reports Builder / Server Fails to Start in 12c With “ libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory“ Only on Linux 7 (Doc ID 2073755.1)“.

Create a symbolic link between the new motif library and the old one:

ln -s /usr/lib64/libXm.so.4.0.4 /usr/lib64/libXm.so.3

Installation JDK 1.8.0_111 (as OS User oracle)

[oracle@host03~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/JAVA

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ tar xvfz /u01/app/oracle/software/FMW/12.2.1.2.0/JDK/jdk-8u111-linux-x64.tar.gz

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ mv jdk1.8.0_111 jdk

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ ln -s jdk jdk1.8.0_111

Verify JDK Version:

[oracle@host03 oracle]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/JAVA/jdk/bin/java -version

java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
