Weblogic Installation

Simple Weblogic Installation

Environment Details:
OS: Linux Server 5.8 64bit
Version: Weblogic Server 10.3.6
Installation location: /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw
User: oraem(We can have any user)

Steps to be executed as oraem user:

Step 1: First install 64 bit java of the desired version, here in our installation we are using Java 6u32 64 bit

execute the command ./jdk-6u32-linux-x64.bin, it will install the java in the particular directory 

Step 2: Invoke the command java -jar -d64 wls1036_generic.jar (here -d64 option installs 64bit version of weblogic)

Step 3: Click Next on the "Welcome Screen"

Step 4: Give the complete location where we are going to install the weblogic server and click Next

Step 5: In these screen the installer asks for the Oracle Support username password, which can be skipped by un checking the box and confirming to remained uninformed of critical issues by clicking Yes. Then click Next

Step 6: Click Custom and click Next

Step 7: This screen shows what all components we are going to install. Click Next

Step 8: Select the Java Home which we installed and uncheck the other java which was mentioned, and click Next

Step 9: Choose the Product Installation Directory, we can keep them as default and click Next

Step 10: Review the Installation Summary and click Next

Step 11: Installation Progress Screen

Step 12: The installation is over, uncheck the Run Quickstart box and click Done.

Note: After the installation is over the base domain can be created by invoking the config.sh script from location /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin.

Installation Issues/Error:

1. Sometime if there is a space issue on the server we may get the below mentioned error 

Fatal error encountered during self-extraction.[No space left on device]

To Resolve this we need to find a mount point where there is space available and then use the -Djava.io.tmpdiroption while doing the installation

[oraem@Linux1 stage]$ java -d64 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/u03/stage/temp -jar wls1036_generic.jar

2. In windows machine the -d64 option doesn't work and we may get the error: Could not create the Java virtual machine.

Simply invoke the installer by omitting that option(-d64)

Public Yum Configuration | Oracle Linux

Public Yum Configuration.

Operating System: Oracle Linux 5.8

Install the yum repos as follows:

Step 1. Login as a root user to the linux box and go to the location /etc/yum.repos.d

[root@host1 ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@host1 yum.repos.d]# 

Step 2. Get the public yum file using the below mentioned command

[root@host1 yum.repos.d]#  wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

Step 3. Open the file using a text editor (here I am using vi editor).

[root@host1 yum.repos.d]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-el5.repo

Step 4. Search for the below mentioned parameters 

ol5_u8_base and el5_addons and set the value for "enabled=1"

Step 5. This step is optional.

Type the following commands in a shell to check that your yum repository is configured correctly:

[root@host1 ~]#sudo yum repolist

The output should look like this:

el5_addons              |  951 B     00:00    
ol5_u8_base             |  1.1 kB    00:00    
repo id       repo name                             status
base          Red Hat Linux - Base                  enabled:3,024
el5_addons    Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - addons  enabled:   93
ol5_u8_base   Oracle Linux 5 - U8 - x86_64 - base   enabled:4,551

Make sure that both the el5_addons and ol5_u8_base repos are listed. The list of repos can be different depending on the Linux version and current user's configuration of yum.

Database auto start on server reboot: Solaris

Weblogic Clustering

If you have already installed Oracle Weblogic, please follow the below steps to make a cluster else use this link Weblogic Installation to install weblogic first on both the servers.

Environment:
We have two linux servers: host1.com & host2.com
Installation Requirement: One Admin Server on Host1.com & one Managed Server in cluster in Host1.com & Host2.com

Weblogic Software Version:
10.3.6

We need to create a domain in the first server and use the pack/unpack command to have it in the second server.

Step 1. Go to the location $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/common/bin (in host1.com)

Step 2. Execute config.sh file to create a domain
        ./config.sh

Step 3. You will get a window similar to below to create a domain

Select Create a new Weblogic doamin and click Next

Select Domain Source and click Next

Give a name to your weblogic Domain and specify the location for domain

Provide Administrator username & Password and click Next

Verify the Java Location & click Next

Check box Administration Server & Managed Server, Clusters and Machines and click Next

Give the name of the admin Server and Listen Port Address (In our case its AdminServer & 7001)

Provide the names of Managed Servers, since its in cluster, we need to add two Managed Servers

In our case its ManagedServer_1 & ManagedServer_2, provide the hostname in the respective Listen address space and Provide the Listen Port, we 7003 for both.

Add a cluster with unicast messaging mode

Assign both the Managed Server to the cluster, to configure it in cluster.

Choose Unix Machine and provide the Name(Machine Name), Hostname and port

Since our configuration is Admin Server & Managed Server in first Host & a Managed Server in Cluster in Second Host. Assign the same accordingly.

Verify the details & click Create.

The domain is created.

[oraem@host1 bin]$ pwd

/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin

Use the pack command

[oraem@host1 bin]$ ./pack.sh -managed=true -domain=/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain -template=base_domain.jar -template_name=base_domain

Output of the above command=>

<< read domain from "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain"

>>  succeed: read domain from "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain"

<< set config option Managed to "true"

>>  succeed: set config option Managed to "true"

<< write template to "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/base_domain.jar"

....................................................................................................

>>  succeed: write template to "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/base_domain.jar"

<< close template

>>  succeed: close template

Now copy this template base_domain.jar from server host1.com to server host2.com

[oraem@host1 bin]$ scp base_domain.jar oraem@host2:/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin

[oraem@Host2 bin]$ pwd

/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin

Use the unpack command now

[oraem@Host2 bin]$ ./unpack.sh -domain=/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain -template=base_domain.jar

Output of the above Command=>

<< read template from "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/base_domain.jar"

>>  succeed: read template from "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/base_domain.jar"

<< set config option DomainName to "base_domain"

>>  succeed: set config option DomainName to "base_domain"

<< write Domain to "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain"

...............................................................................................

>>  succeed: write Domain to "/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain"

<< close template

>>  succeed: close template

Now Modify the nodemanager.properties file at location /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager on both the servers

Change the parameter StartScriptEnabled=true

Start the Node manager on both the servers.
[oraem@Host1 ]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/server/bin

[oraem@Host1 bin]$ nohup ./startNodeManager.sh >> nodemgr.log &

[oraem@Host2 ]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/wlserver_10.3/server/bin

[oraem@Host2 bin]$ nohup ./startNodeManager.sh >> nodemgr.log &

Start the Admin Server

[oraem@Host1 ]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin

[oraem@Host1 bin]$ nohup ./startWebLogic.sh >> weblogic.log & 

From the console page start the Managed Server

Environment--> Server--> Control--> (Select the Managed Servers) --> Start
