Installing the WebLogic Server

Now that Java Development Kit and JRE are installed, we can use this to install the Fusion Middleware software, that is, the WebLogic Server:

  1. Open a cmd window.
  2. Change directory (cd) to the obiee_downloads folder.
  3. Enter the following command:
    C:Javajdk1.8.0_74binjava.exe -jar
fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure.jar

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions:
    1. Click on Next.
    2. I have chosen to Skip Auto Updates, but you can link to your support account.
    3. Change the directory where the Oracle Home will be installed. We are not planning to share this Fusion Middleware with any other software, so I have called ours C:fmw_obieeOracle_home. Write down this location, because we will need it later for the OBIEE installation. I have chosen to install in the C:fmw_obieeOracle_home folder. This is because my C: drive is a Solid-State Drive (SSD). You can choose any drive, but try to use an SSD so that you make your system as fast as possible:

      Tip

      Do not include spaces in the name of your Oracle_home directory; the installer will give you an error message if your Oracle_home directory path contains spaces.

    6. You can enter your e-mail address or leave it blank.
    7. You can save your responses, which we do as standard practice because we will always record install steps when creating a production environment. After saving, click on the Install button.
    8. In this step, all of the installation work actually happens. This may take about 15 minutes. At the end, you'd be looking for green ticks across the board:

    9. In this step, we are looking for the phrase Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Infrastructure installation completed successfully:

      You have now successfully installed the Fusion Middleware platform software.

  5. Check the folder for the following structures, and familiarize yourself with the contents:

    Installing the WebLogic Server

The main folders you may use over time are as follows:

  • oracle_home: This contains all the binary files to run the WebLogic Server. It will also contain useful tools, such as WebLogic Scripting Tool and Repository Creation Utility. This folder is referred to as ORACLE_HOME.
  • wlserver: This is the WebLogic home directory, also known as WL_HOME. It contains all the WebLogic Server product files.
  • OPatch: This is a tool that helps to keep your system up-to-date; that is, it helps to apply patches from Oracle.
  • em: This is an application that runs on the WebLogic Server.
