In this blog, I will show how to automate the installation of SOA, BPM, OSB and/or B2B using FlexDeploy. For 12c, there is only one installation JAR file that you can download to install WebLogic.
Automating a SOA Installation
First, we need to create and configure a Workflow within FlexDeploy. Download the workflow source.
Let’s add a few workflow inputs to provide control and customization of the workflow process.
Now we need to create the workflow to conditionally perform the installation and creation of the required database tables.
The Install Binaries step in the workflow has the following script that utilizes the properties created above.
if [[ ${inpSOAVersion} == "12.2.1" ]]
then
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.0.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.0.0_osb.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/osb_12.2.1.0.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/soa_12.2.1.0.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.0.0_soa.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/bpm_12.2.1.0.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.0.0_b2bhealthcare.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/b2b_12.2.1.0.0_install.rsp
elif [[ ${inpSOAVersion} == "12.2.1.3" ]]
then
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.3.0_infrastructure.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.3.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.3.0_osb.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/osb_12.2.1.3.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.3.0_soa.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/soa_12.2.1.3.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.3.0_soa.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/bpm_12.2.1.3.0_install.rsp
${inpJavaHome}/bin/java -d64 -jar ${inpInstallFileDir}/fmw_12.2.1.3.0_b2bhealthcare.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile ${inpInstallFileDir}/b2b_12.2.1.3.0_install.rsp
fi
NOTE: Due to the size of the JAR files, I keep them in a shared folder to eliminate transferring these files to each server.
Now, let’s create a project and associate it to the workflow. In this case we have created a FlexDeploy utility project. Upon execution, you can see that Workflow Inputs are displayed and user will pick which version of install they want to perform. The other inputs are defaulted and can be changed, if needed.
Next, monitor execution logs. If everything works, you will see a success message for each component installed that will be as shown below (SOA install shown).
After the installation, the directory should now have various folders like those shown below.
Fusion Middleware Sample Response Files
Here are sample response files for Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, SOA, BPM, OSB, and B2B. These response files would be located on the shared file structure with the JAR files.
