Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1): Using the Quick Installer

Purpose

Using the WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) Quick Installer provides a non-GUI installation for development and testing.

Time to Complete

Approximately 10 minutes.

Introduction

The WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) Quick Installer is a Java Archive that you install by simply executing Java using the Quick Installer archive. The WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1) Supplemental Java Archive also provides demonstrations of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) features, a sample application, and additional WebLogic Server application program interface (API) examples.

What Do You Need?

Before starting this tutorial, you should have:

• 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.)
• Java Development Kit (JDK 1.8) on the development machine - this tutorial uses JDK 1.8 release 60, installed in /u01/jdk1.8.0_60. 
• Access to Oracle Technology Network to download the WebLogic Server 12.2.1 Quick Installer and Supplemental Quick Installer.

1. Open a browser and navigate to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-for-dev-1703574.html.

2. On the Downloads tab, click Accept License Agreement, and then click Quick Installer for Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux.

   The site may prompt you for your Oracle Technology Network (OTN) user name and password.

3. Log in to Oracle Technology Network and save the wls_quick1221_generic.jar file to your local file system - this tutorial uses the /u01 directory.

4. Save the wls_supplemental_quick1221_generic.jar file to your local file system - this tutorial uses the /u01 directory.

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

2. Change to the directory that contains the quick installer archive:

   [oracle@ol71 ~]$ cd /u01

3. Export JAVA_HOME:

   [oracle@ol71 u01]$ export JAVA_HOME=/u01/jdk1.8.0_60

4. Execute the quick installer:

   [oracle@ol71 u01]$ /u01/jdk1.8.0_60/bin/java -jar ~/WLS1221-Stage19/wls_quick1221_generic.jar ORACLE_HOME=/u01/wls12210

   After starting the quick installer, it performs prerequisite checks and proceeds with the installation:

2. Click Create a new domain and enter /u01/wls12210/user_projects/domains/base_domain for the Domain Location. Click Next.

   

3. Accept the Basic WebLogic Server Domain template and click Next.

   

4. Enter weblogic for Name and welcome1 for Password. Enter welcome1 for Confirm Password and click Next.

   

5. Click Development for Domain Mode and accept the JDK location at /u01/jdk1.8.0_60. Click Next.

   

6. Click Next.

   

7. Review the Configuration Summary and click Next.

   

8. Click Next.

   

9. Click Finish to close the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.

   

1. In the same secure shell terminal session, execute the WebLogic Server Domain start script:

   [oracle@ol71 u01]$ /u01/wls12210/user_projects/domains/base_domain/startWebLogic.sh

   After starting the WebLogic Server, it enters the RUNNING state:

   ...
   <Jul 30, 2015 2:20:43 PM MDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <The server started in RUNNING mode.> 
   <Jul 30, 2015 2:20:43 PM MDT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000365> <Server state changed to RUNNING.> 
   

1. On the Linux machine, open a web browser.

2. Navigate to http://localhost:7001/console and enter the Username and Password used in the Domain creation process - in this tutorial the Username is weblogic and the Password is welcome1. Click Login.

   

3. The WebLogic Server Administration Console displays, so the Domain started successfully.
