Install and Setup Supply Planning

Working Area Using Oracle

WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4
Prerequisite Software Downloads
Prior to performing the installation and setup of the Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4 , it is important to
download the necessary software. This includes:

 Java Development Kit 8

 Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Installer

Install Java Development Kit 8

To install Java Development Kit (JDK) 8, you need to have access to the ‘root’ user. Using the Java
Development Kit 8 link in the Prerequisites section, download the software to a staging area. For
example /u01/install/oas_software. From the staging area, execute the following command to install
the JDK 8 package.
rpm -ihv jdk-8u321-linux-x64.rpm
Install Fusion Middleware Infrastructure
Once you have installed JDK 8, you can proceed with installing the Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, but
before you begin, you need to set your environment accordingly.

1. Login to the environment as the ‘oracle’ user.

2. Set your $JAVA_HOME and $PATH environment variables. You should set your $JAVA_HOME
first and then ensure your $PATH includes the $JAVA_HOME in it.

export JAVA_HOME=<path_to_java_installation>
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

3. Change directories to the location where you have staged your Fusion Middleware files and
unzip them.

4. Execute the following command to launch the installer.

java -jar fmw_12.2.1.4.0_infrastructure.jar

5. The command above will launch the Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Infrastructure Installation
program. Included below are each of the steps.

Create Database Schemas (Repository Creation Utility)

Before you configure the Fusion Middleware Infrastructure domain, you must run the Repository
Creation Utility (RCU).

1. Login as the ‘oracle’ user.

2. Set your $JAVA_HOME and $PATH environment variables. You should set your $JAVA_HOME
first and then ensure your $PATH includes the $JAVA_HOME in it.

export JAVA_HOME=<path_to_java_installation>
 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

3. Change directories to $MW_HOME/oracle_common/bin

4. Execute the following command to launch the installer.

./rcu

5. The command will launch the Repository Creation Utility.

Select Next
Select the radio button next to ‘Create Repository’ and ‘System Load and Product Load’
Select Next
Enter the connection information for your database and connect as the ‘system’ user
In our case, we used a Connection String to connect:
For Database Type, select Oracle Database
Select the radio button next to ‘Connection String’
Enter the Connection String information (hostname.domain:db_port/db_service_name)
For Username, enter System
For Password, enter the password for System
Select Next
After the prerequisite check is performed, select OK

Select the radio button next to the ‘Create new prefix’ option and either keep the default prefix
or change it as needed. In this case, we changed it to SPWA.
Select the checkbox next to the Component ‘AS Common Schemas’. This will check all the
options below it and each Schema Owner will start with the prefix entered previously
Select Next

After the prerequisite check is performed, select OK

Define the password for the main and auxiliary schema users based on your business practices
The example above uses the same password for all schemas
Select Next
Select Next

After tablespaces are created select OK

Select Create
 Assuming successful completion, select Close

Create WebLogic Admin Server

After installing the Fusion Middleware Software (this includes WebLogic Server), you need to configure
the WebLogic Admin Server. To accomplish this, you need to run the config.sh script under
$MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin directory. In our case, the $MW_HOME is
/u01/install/VCP/ui.

1. Login as the ‘oracle’ user.

2. Set your $JAVA_HOME and $PATH environment variables. You should set your $JAVA_HOME
first and then ensure your $PATH includes the $JAVA_HOME in it.

export JAVA_HOME=<path_to_java_installation>
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
3. Change directories to $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin

4. Execute the following command to launch the installer.

./config.sh

5. The command will launch the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.

Select the radio button next to the ‘Create a new domain’ option
Enter the complete path for the new domain
Select Next
Select the radio button next to the ‘Create Domain Using Product Templates’ option
From the Available Templates, the ‘Basic WebLogic Server Domain [wlserver]’ template is
