Installation Instructions

       Installation Steps:

OSB provides 2 methods for OSB development, the OSB console, and Eclipse.We can develop all the features using both.But the better way is Develop projects in Eclipe and deploy to osb server and test the services and flow using sbconsole.

Note:The main problem with developing projects  in console is if many users at a time using the same console location and they are working with the same Project.That will conflict the development

We need to 
1.Install database.
2.Install RCU.
3.Install WLS(Included OEPE)
4.Osb 
5.Finally Create Osb domain

   Softwares Info:

         As we know that Weblogic and OEPE installation are pre-requisites for OSB installation.
So we need to know what’s the compatible version of OEPE that works with that particular OSB release. This post presents this information in a simple tabular format below:

OSB	Weblogic Server	OEPE
11.1.1.6.0 11.1.1.7.0	10.3.6	11.1.1.8.0
11.1.1.5.0	10.3.5	11.1.1.7.2
11.1.1.4.0	10.3.4	11.1.1.6.1
11.1.1.3.0	10.3.3	11.1.1.5

• Download RCU.

           ofm_rcu_win_11.1.1.7.0_64_disk1_1of1

• We can download WLS with OEPE from the following link.

• We can download osb from the below link

3.Install WLS (included oepe internally)

• Run the executable.

           oepe-wls-indigo-installer-11.1.1.8.0.201110211138-10.3.6-win32

• I create a new Oracle Home for this installation as it don't want to impact on my JDeveloper install or any other Oracle products installed on my machine.

• Ignore the support / email notifications
• Choose Typical installation.

• Deselect all products then select the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. This will select the minimum prerequisites required for install.
• As I'm only going to use this home for OSB Development I deselect the JRockit JVM.

• Accept the locations for the installs.
  

• If running on a Windows environment you will be asked to start a Node Manger service. This is optional. I have chosen to ignore.
• Select the user permissions you require, I have set to default.

• Do a last check to see if the values are correct and continue to install.
• The install should start.

• The install should complete successfully. I chose not to run the Quick Start.
  
  

4.Install OSB 

     Extract the OSB download to a location of your choice and double click on the setup.exe. You may be asked to supply a correct java location.

ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.7.0_disk1_1of1

We need to set the jre location as follows..

• copy the JAVA_HOME environment variable value rightclick on mycomputer-->properties->advancedproperties---?environment variables
• select JAVA_HOME variable and copy that value.

                 java-home=D:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18

• open command prompt..navigate to the location where we have that osb setup file..In my case I have copied it in the following location.

                   E:\OSB\SW\Oepe\ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1\Disk1

• open the command prompt..go to this location.
• Type the following command to set jre path.
• Now run below command

                    setup.exe -jreLoc D:\Oracle\Middleware\jdk160_18

•  just give the path upto jdk version.Then press enter. you are ready to go
• Install the osb using the link.
• Skip the software updates.
• Set the OSB home to the location of the WLS home installed above
• Choose a custom install as all we want to install is the OSB Eclipse Plugins.

             Note:Choose Typical if you have any issues....

• Select OSB IDE.
  For the rest of the install screens accept the defaults.

• Start the install
• There is no need to configure a WLS domain if you only intend to deploy to the remote server. If you need to do this there are other sites how to configure via the configuration wizard.

• Start Eclipse to make sure the OSB Plugin has been created. In the top right drop down you should see OSB as an option.
• Connecting to the remote server, select the Server Tab at the bottom

• Right-click in that frame and select Server.
  

• Chose the remote server version and the hostname
• Provide and name for your server if necessary, and accept the defaults

• Enter connection details for the remote server
• Click on the Remote server and it should validate stating its status.

5.Create OSB domain:
