Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1): Installing WebLogic Server using the JRF Installer

Purpose

Installing the WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) Java Required Files (JRF) distribution includes the WebLogic Server binaries as well as JRF for code samples and Fusion Middleware Control.

Time to Complete

Approximately 15 minutes.

Introduction

The WebLogic Server JRF distribution supports a Restricted JRF configuration that does not require a database and a standard JRF configuration that requires a database and requires the Repository Creation Utility to create the database schemas. This tutorial uses the Restricted JRF configuration so a database is not required.

What Do You Need?

The following is a list of hardware and software requirements:

• A Linux development machine with sufficient CPU, memory, and hard disk space
• Sufficient hardware to run WebLogic Server (For details, see the list of certified platforms.)
• Installing the following products in these locations has been tested with this tutorial:
• JDK 1.8 version 60 - jdk-8u60-linux-x64.gz  - in location /u01/jdk1.8.0_60
• WebLogic Server 12.2.1 - wls_jrf_generic.jar - in location /u01/wls1221

While other versions of these products may function for this tutorial, they have not been tested.

• Completed the prerequisite tutorials.

1. Download JDK 1.8 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-jsp-138363.html.

The JDK used in this tutorial is jdk-8u60-linux-x64.gz.


2. Download WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/fusion-middleware/downloads/index.html.

The WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) used in this tutorial is wls_jrf_generic.jar.

1. Open a secure shell terminal session to the Linux development machine and login as the oracle user.

2. Open a new Terminal window. Navigate to the location of the WebLogic Server binary download directory: /u01/.
   

   $ cd /u01/

3. Extract the JDK 1.8 installer.
   

   $ tar -xvf jdk-8u60-linux-x64.gz

4. Export the JDK 1.8 JAVA_HOME: /u01/jdk1.8.0_60/.
   

   $ export JAVA_HOME=/u01/jdk1.8.0_60

5. Export the PATH with the JDK 1.8 JAVA_HOME :

   $ export PATH=/u01/jdk1.8.0_60/bin:$PATH

1. In the same terminal session, navigate to the location of the WebLogic Server binary download directory: /u01/.
   

   $ cd /u01/

2. Create the WebLogic Server installation directory: /u01/wls1221/.
   

   $ mkdir –p /u01/wls1221/

3. Execute the WebLogic Server 12.2.1 JRF Installer:

   $ java –jar wls_jrf_generic.jar 

4. After the graphical wizard opens, use the guidelines in the following table to install WebLogic Server:
