WCP 12.2.1: Installation I (O.S)

Installing the Operating System

For development I usually install Oracle Linux in its latest version. In this case I installed Oracle Linux 7.1 obtained from http://edelivery.oracle.com/

Virtual Box with WebCenter! :)

Note: Please, always check the compatibility of the software using the Certification Matrix

Oracle Linux 7.1 Terminal
You can find the Offical Installation guide in the following link Oracle Linux 7 Installation Guide

During the installation Wizard I recommend to select the Minimum Installation option. Why? Because I do not like to install extra components which consume resources and are never used. If you need something install it using yum!

Minimall Installation means less resources consumption!
 After installing the operating system I recommend to update / install the following components
  • Update the OL7 with the latest updates

    yum update

  • Install wget (it is not installed by default)

    yum -y install wget

  • Install locate command (I use a lot to find files and locations)

    yum install mlocate

  • Install unzip command to unzip the installatation files

    yum install unzip

  • Install the x11 packages for using the Installation Wizards UI

    yum  -y install xorg-x11-apps xauth

  • Install perl as it is required!

    yum install perl

  • Install the Oracle Database 12c Prepackage!!!!!!!!! It configures your O.S to be ready for Database installation :)

    yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall

Note: Database package also created the oracle user and the oinstall and dba groups
Do not forget to assign a password to oracle user using the passwd command!

  • Prepare the root folder for the Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c installation! I use to install under /oracle folder

    mkdir oracle
    chown -R oracle:oinstall oracle/

  • Update the firewall to accept connections to the ports used by WebCenter, FTP, OHS and WebLogic

    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=7001/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8888/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8889/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8890/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=16200/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=16250/tcp
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=1521/tcp
    firewall-cmd --reload
    firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --list-ports
  • If you want to connect now from you host do not forget to configure the Port Forwarding
    Port Forwarding Configuration in Virtual Box

What I found new???

Commands such ifconfig, netstat etc... are deprecated and non-installed by default. I used the new commands ip and ss instead. You can find a good guide of the new commands in the following blog:

https://dougvitale.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/deprecated-linux-networking-commands-and-their-replacements/

E.g.:
ifconfig now is ip addr
netstat -an is now ss -an

In addition, I used firewall command instead of the old iptables. 
 
Now is time to install the Oracle JDK 8!: WCP 12.2.1: Installation II (Oracle JDK 8)

OJET: Build and Deploy in an Application Server

Image
There are some other sources where an Oracle JET Application is packaged and deployed as a WAR in Oracle WebLogic Application Server (Arda Eralp) https://blogs.oracle.com/ardaeralp/deploy-oracle-jet-application-to-weblogic-server (Andrejus Baranovski's) http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2016/07/serving-oracle-jet-application-from.html They may look bit old or maybe because they call directly grunt tasks by using the grunt-cli . In this post I will update a bit these posts in Oracle JET 6.1.0 and the usage of ojet build (instead of calling the grunt tasks) for also building the corresponding WAR file. The example can be found in my GIT repository: https://github.com/DanielMerchan/ojet-examples Let's start... Install grunt-war module in your Oracle JET Application. npm install grunt-war --save-dev Create a war.js (or call it whatever you want) in /scripts/grunt/config folder under your souce files. This is a sample code inside of it, check https://www.npmjs.com/packag...

OJET: Select All options using only Checkboxset

Image
This is an example on how to select all other options by using another oj-checkboxset. GitHub: ojet-checkbockset-select-all The idea is to keep track of the selection and make use of the on-value-changed as described in the following code. self.colorOptions = ko.observableArray([ { id: "blueopt", value: "blue", color: "Blue" }, { id: "greenopt", value: "green", color: "Green" }, { id: "redopt", value: "red", color: "Red" }, { id: "limeopt", value: "lime", color: "Lime" }, { id: "aquaopt", value: "aqua", color: "Aqua" }, ]); self.selectAll = ko.observableArray([]); self.currentColor = ko.observableArray(["red"]); self.selectAllOptionChanged = (event) => { const newSelection = event.detail.value; if (newSelection.indexOf('all')...

OFMW: 12.2.1.4 Released

Hi, After a long time waiting for it, the Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 has been finally released. Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 Official Documentation In this post, I will focus on my personal view over the Oracle Fusion Middleware products which I most commonly use over the last 8 years which are the SOA Suite (including BPM and OSB), WebCenter Suite (Portal, Content, Sites), Oracle ADF and Oracle WebLogic Application Server mainly. Certification Matrix As every release, I make a round around the Certification Matrix of every Oracle Fusion Middleware Release to check if the Java JDK accepted has been increased or not. Oracle Certification Matrix for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 Java However, I found that we are still in the J2SE / J2EE 8 and the maximum certified JDK is Oracle JDK 1.8.0_211+ which means any 1.8.0_xxx if you are using Oracle JDK as the JDK vendor. Database The biggest new is the certification with 18.3+ and 19.3+ of the On-Premise vers...
