To configure your WebLogic domain,you must have access to a certifieddatabase that is configured for theschemas required by OracleManaged File Transfer.

See About Database Requirementsfor an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareInstallation.

• Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability RequirementsOracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirementsdocuments with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirementsfor installation.

• Selecting an Installation UserThe user who installs and configures your system must have the requiredpermissions and privileges.

• About the Directories for Installation and ConfigurationDuring the installation and domain configuration process, you must plan onproviding the locations for these directories: Oracle home, Domain home, and theApplication home.

• About JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware InstallationMost Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions donot include a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certifiedJDK installed on your system.

• About Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware InstallationMany Oracle Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior toconfiguration. If you do not already have a database where you can install theseschemas, you must install and configure a certified database.

Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability RequirementsOracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirementsdocuments with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements forinstallation.

1. Verifying that your environment meets certification requirements:

Make sure that you install your product on a supported hardware and softwareconfiguration. See the certification document for your release on the Oracle FusionMiddleware Supported System Configurations page.


2-3

Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certifiedsystems and environments. Whenever new certifications are released, they areadded to the certification document right away. New certifications can be releasedat any time. Therefore, the certification documents are kept outside thedocumentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

2. Using the system requirements document to verify certification:

Oracle recommends that you use the Oracle Fusion Middleware SystemRequirements and Specifications document to verify that the certificationrequirements are met. For example, if the certification document indicates thatyour product is certified for installation on 64-Bit Oracle Linux 6.5, use thisdocument to verify that your system meets the required minimum specifications.These include disk space, available memory, specific platform packages andpatches, and other operating system-specific requirements. System requirementscan change in the future. Therefore, the system requirement documents are keptoutside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle TechnologyNetwork.

3. Verifying interoperability among multiple products:

To learn how to install and run multiple Fusion Middleware products from the samerelease or mixed releases with each other, see Oracle Fusion Middleware 12cInteroperability and Compatibility in Understanding Interoperability andCompatibility.

Selecting an Installation UserThe user who installs and configures your system must have the required permissionsand privileges.

• About User PermissionsThe user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certainpermissions on the files.

• About Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating SystemsChanging the default permission setting reduces the security of the installation andyour system. Oracle does not recommend that change the default permissionsettings.

• Verifying that the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on WindowsOperating SystemsTo update the Windows Registry, you must have administrator privileges.

About User PermissionsThe user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certainpermissions on the files.

• Read and write permissions on all non-executable files (forexample, .jar, .properties, or .xml). All other users in the same group as the fileowner have read permissions only.

• Read, write, and execute permissions on all executable files (forexample, .exe, .sh, or .cmd). All other users in the same group as the file ownerhave read and execute permissions only.


2-4

This means that someone other than the person who installs the software can use theinstalled binaries in the Oracle home directory to configure a domain or set of FusionMiddleware products.

During configuration, the files generated by the configuration process are owned bythe user who ran the Configuration Wizard. This user has the same permissions asdescribed above for the installation user. However, security-sensitive files are notcreated with group permissions. Only the user that created the domain has read andwrite permissions and can administer the domain.

Consider the following examples:

• Example 1: A Single User Installs the Software and Configures the Domain

This example explains the file permissions where the same user installs thesoftware and configures the domain.

To ensure proper permissions and privileges for all files, Oracle recommends thatthe same owner perform both tasks: install the Oracle Fusion Middleware productand configure the WebLogic Server domain by using the Configuration Wizard.

If the user who creates the domain is different than the user who installed thesoftware, then both users must have the same privileges, as shown in the nextexample.

• Example 2: The Oracle Home Directory and Domain are Created by DifferentUsers

read/execute permissions on all executable files, and read

permissions on all other files.

Note:

Certain domain files do not have group permissions. For example,cwallet.sso.

Consider the following points before you run the installer:

• On UNIX operating systems, Oracle recommends that you set umask to 027 onyour system before you install the software. This ensures that the file permissionsare set properly during installation. Use the following command:

umask 027

You must enter this command in the same terminal window from which you plan torun the product installer.

• On UNIX operating systems, do not run the installation program as a root user. Ifyou run the installer as a root user, the startup validation may fail and you cannotcontinue the installation.

• When you manage a product installation (for example, applying patches or startingmanaged Servers), use the same user ID that you used to install the product.

• On Windows operating systems, you must have administrative privileges to installthe product. See Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges onWindows Operating Systems.

About Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating SystemsChanging the default permission setting reduces the security of the installation andyour system. Oracle does not recommend that change the default permission settings.

If other users require access to a particular file or executable, use the UNIX sudocommand or other similar commands to change the file permissions.


2-6

Refer to your UNIX operating system Administrator's Guide or contact your operatingsystem vendor, if you need further assistance.

Verifying that the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on WindowsOperating Systems

To update the Windows Registry, you must have administrator privileges.

By default, users with the administrator privilege sign in to the system with regularprivileges, but can request elevated permissions to perform administrative tasks.

To perform a task with elevated privileges:

1. Find the Command Prompt icon, either from the Start menu or the Windows iconin the lower-left corner.

2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

This opens a new command prompt window, and all actions performed in thiswindow are done with administrator privileges.

Note:

If you have User Access Control enabled on your system, you may seean additional window asking you to confirm this action. Confirm andcontinue with this procedure.

3. Perform the desired task.

For example, to start the product installer:

For a jar file, enter:

java —jar distribution_name.jar

For an executable (.exe, .bin, or .sh file), enter:

distribution_name.exe

About the Directories for Installation and ConfigurationDuring the installation and domain configuration process, you must plan on providingthe locations for these directories: Oracle home, Domain home, and the Applicationhome.

• About the Recommended Directory StructureOracle recommends specific locations for the Oracle Home, Domain Home, andApplication Home.

• About the Oracle Home DirectoryWhen you install any Oracle Fusion Middleware product, you must use an Oraclehome directory.

• About the Domain Home DirectoryThe Domain home is the directory where domains that you configure are created.

• About the Application Home DirectoryThe Application home is the directory where applications for domains youconfigure are created.


2-7

• Installing Multiple Products in the Same DomainThere are two methods to install and configure multiple products in one domain.This is also known as extending a domain.

• Preparing for Shared StorageOracle Fusion Middleware allows you to configure multiple WebLogic Serverdomains from a single Oracle home. This allows you to install the Oracle home ina single location on a shared volume and reuse the Oracle home for multiple hostinstallations.

About the Recommended Directory StructureOracle recommends specific locations for the Oracle Home, Domain Home, andApplication Home.

Oracle recommends a directory structure similar to the one shown in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 Recommended Oracle Fusion Middleware Directory Structure

Oracle Home

(Oracle_Home)

Application Home

(applications)

oracle

Domain Home

(Domains)

configThis area contains

configuration and

application data created

by user.

A base location (Oracle base) should be established on your system (for example, /home/oracle). From this base location, create two separate branches, namely, theproduct directory and the config directory. The product directory should contain theproduct binary files and all the Oracle home directories. The config directory shouldcontain your domain and application data.

Oracle recommends that you do not keep your configuration datain the Oracle homedirectory; if you upgrade your product to another major release, are required to createa new Oracle home for binaries. You must also make sure that your configuration dataexists in a location where the binaries in the Oracle home have access.

The /home/oracle/product (for the Oracle home) and /home/oracle/config (for theapplication and configuration data) directories are used in the examples throughout thedocumentation; be sure to replace these directories with the actual directories on yoursystem.


2-8

About the Oracle Home DirectoryWhen you install any Oracle Fusion Middleware product, you must use an Oraclehome directory.

This directory is a repository for common files that are used by multiple FusionMiddleware products installed on the same machine. These files ensure that FusionMiddleware operates correctly on your system. They facilitate checking of cross-product dependencies during installation. For this reason, you can consider the Oraclehome directory a central support directory for all Oracle Fusion Middleware productsinstalled on your system.

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Oracle home directory asORACLE_HOME.

Oracle Home Considerations

Keep the following in mind when you create the Oracle home directory and installFusion Middleware products:

• Do not include spaces in the name of your Oracle home directory; the installerdisplays an error message if your Oracle home directory path contains spaces.

• You can install only one instance of each Oracle Fusion Middleware product in asingle Oracle home directory. If you need to maintain separate versions of aproduct on the same machine, each version must be in its own Oracle homedirectory.

Although you can have several different products in a single Oracle home, onlyone version of each product can be in the Oracle home.

Multiple Home Directories

Although in most situations, a single Oracle home directory is sufficient, it is possibleto create more than one Oracle home directory. For example, you need to maintainmultiple Oracle home directories in the following situations:

• You prefer to maintain separate development and production environments, with aseparate product stack for each. With two directories, you can update yourdevelopment environment without modifying the production environment until youare ready to do so.

• You want to maintain two different versions of a Fusion Middleware product at thesame time. For example, you want to install a new version of a product whilekeeping your existing version intact. In this case, you must install each productversion in its own Oracle home directory.

• You need to install multiple products that are not compatible with each other. See Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.2.1.3.0) Interoperability and Compatibility inUnderstanding Interoperability and Compatibility .

Note:

If you create more than one Oracle home directory, you must provide non-overlapping port ranges during the configuration phase for each product.


2-9

About the Domain Home DirectoryThe Domain home is the directory where domains that you configure are created.

The default Domain home location is ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name. However, Oracle strongly recommends that you do not use this defaultlocation. Put your Domain home outside of the Oracle home directory, for example,in /home/oracle/config/domains. The config directory should contain domainand application data. Oracle recommends a separate domain directory so that newinstalls, patches, and other operations update the ORACLE_HOME only, not thedomain configuration.

See About the Recommended Directory Structure for more on the recommendeddirectory structure and locating your Domain home.

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Domain home directory asDOMAIN_HOME and includes all folders up to and including the domain name. Forexample, if you name your domain exampledomain and locate your domain data inthe /home/oracle/config/domains directory, the documentation would useDOMAIN_HOME to refer to /home/oracle/config/domains/exampledomain.

About the Application Home DirectoryThe Application home is the directory where applications for domains you configureare created.

The default Application home location is ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/applications/domain_name. However, Oracle strongly recommends that you locate your Applicationhome outside of the Oracle home directory; if you upgrade your product to anothermajor release, you must create a new Oracle home for binaries.

See About the Recommended Directory Structure for more on the recommendeddirectory structure and locating your Application home..

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Application home directory asAPPLICATION_HOME and includes all folders up to and including the domain name. Forexample, if you name your domain exampledomain and you locate your applicationdata in the /home/oracle/config/applications directory, the documentation usesAPPLICATION_HOME to refer to /home/oracle/config/applications/exampledomain.

Installing Multiple Products in the Same DomainThere are two methods to install and configure multiple products in one domain. Thisis also known as extending a domain.

• Method 1.

Install and configure Product A, including creating the schemas and starting allservers in the domain to verify a successful domain configuration.

This is the method used in all installation guides in the Fusion Middleware library.You can repeat this process for as many products as necessary. It allows you tovalidate one product at a time and add more products incrementally.

To install Product B in the same domain as Product A:


2-10

1. Stop all servers to prevent any updates to the domain while you add the newproduct.

See Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware in Administering OracleFusion Middleware.

2. Follow the instructions in the installation guide for Product B, including creatingthe necessary schemas.

3. Run the Configuration Wizard to configure the domain.

During configuration, the Configuration Wizard automatically detects thecomponents that have been installed and offers you the option to extend theexisting Product A domain to include Product B.

• Method 2.

Install all of the required products, then create the schemas for all of the products.After you create the schemas, configure the domain by using the necessaryproduct templates, then start all the servers.

This method of creating a multi-product domain may be slightly faster than Method1; however, the installation guides in the Fusion Middleware library do not providespecific instructions for this method of domain creation.

See Also:

• To update WebLogic domains, see Updating WebLogic Domains inCreating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

• For important information regarding the ability of Oracle FusionMiddleware products to function with previous versions of other OracleFusion Middleware, Oracle, or third-party products, see Oracle FusionMiddleware 12c (12.2.1.3.0) Interoperability and Compatibility inUnderstanding Interoperability and Compatibility.

Preparing for Shared StorageOracle Fusion Middleware allows you to configure multiple WebLogic Server domainsfrom a single Oracle home. This allows you to install the Oracle home in a singlelocation on a shared volume and reuse the Oracle home for multiple host installations.

If you plan to use shared storage in your environment, see Using Shared Storage inHigh Availability Guide for more information.

For configuration requirements specific to Managed File Transfer, see High AvailabilityProperties in Using Oracle Managed File Transfer.

About JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware InstallationMost Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions do notinclude a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certified JDKinstalled on your system.

Make sure that the JDK is installed outside of the Oracle home. If you install the JDKunder the Oracle home, you may encounter problems when you try to perform tasks in


2-11

the future. Oracle Universal Installer validates that the Oracle home directory is empty;the install does not progress until you specify an empty directory. Oracle recommendsthat you locate your JDK installation in the /home/oracle/products/jdk directory.

Platform-specific distributions have a .bin (for UNIX operating systems) or .exe (forWindows operating systems) installer; in these cases, a platform-specific JDK is in thedistribution and you do not need to install a JDK separately. However, you may needto upgrade this JDK to a more recent version, depending on the JDK versions that arecertified.

Always verify the required JDK version by reviewing the certification information on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page. For 12c(12.2.1.3.0), the certified JDK is 1.8.0_131 and later.

To download the required JDK, navigate to the following URL and download the JavaSE JDK:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

About Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareInstallation

Many Oracle Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior toconfiguration. If you do not already have a database where you can install theseschemas, you must install and configure a certified database.

To find a certified database for your operating system, see the certification documentfor your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurationspage on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).

To make sure that your database is properly configured for schema creation, seeRepository Creation Utility Requirements in the Oracle Fusion Middleware SystemRequirements and Specifications document.

After your database is properly configured, you use the Repository Creation Utility(RCU) to create product schemas in your database. This tool is available in the Oraclehome for your Oracle Fusion Middleware product. See About the Repository CreationUtility in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

About Product DistributionsYou create the initial Oracle Managed File Transfer domain using the Oracle FusionMiddleware Infrastructure distribution, which contains both Oracle WebLogic Serversoftware and Oracle Java Required Files (JRF) software.

Oracle JRF software consists of:

• Oracle Web Services Manager

• Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF)

• Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control

Field Description

Schema Owner

Schema Password

Enter the username and password for connecting to the database'sService Table schema. This is the schema username and passwordentered for the Service Table component on the Schema Passwordsscreen in the RCU (see Specifying Schema Passwords).

The default username is prefix_STB, where prefix is the customprefix that you defined in the RCU.

Click Get RCU Configuration when you finish specifying the database connectioninformation. The following output in the Connection Result Log indicates that theoperation succeeded:

Connecting to the database server...OKRetrieving schema data from database server...OKBinding local schema components with retrieved data...OK

Successfully Done.

For more information about the schema installed when the RCU is run, see About theService Table Schema in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

See Database Configuration Type in Creating WebLogic Domains Using theConfiguration Wizard .

Specifying JDBC Component Schema InformationUse the JDBC Component Schema screen to verify or specify details about thedatabase schemas.

Verify that the values populated on the JDBC Component Schema screen are correctfor all schemas. If you selected RCU Data on the previous screen, the schema tableshould already be populated appropriately.

For high availability environments, see the following sections in High Availability Guidefor additional information on configuring data sources for Oracle RAC databases:

• Configuring Active GridLink Data Sources with Oracle RAC

• Configuring Multi Data Sources

See JDBC Component Schema in Creating WebLogic Domains Using theConfiguration Wizard for more details about this screen.

Testing the JDBC ConnectionsUse the JDBC Component Schema Test screen to test the data source connections.

A green check mark in the Status column indicates a successful test. If you encounterany issues, see the error message in the Connection Result Log section of the screen,fix the problem, then try to test the connection again.

By default, the schema password for each schema component is the password youspecified while creating your schemas. If you want different passwords for differentschema components, manually edit them in the previous screen (JDBC ComponentSchema) by entering the password you want in the Schema Password column,

against each row. After specifying the passwords, select the check box correspondingto the schemas that you changed the password in and test the connection again.

For more information about this screen, see JDBC Component Schema Test inCreating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Specifying the Path to the Keystore Certificate or Key

Use the Keystore screen to specify either the path to the trusted certificate for eachkeystore, or the path to each keystore’s private key and other private key information.

When you click in the Trusted Certificate, Private Key, or Identity Certificate fields, abrowse icon appears to the right of the field. Click this icon to browse to theappropriate file.

For more information about this screen, see Keystore in Creating WebLogic DomainsUsing the Configuration Wizard .

Selecting Advanced ConfigurationUse the Advanced Configuration screen to complete the domain configuration.

On the Advanced Configuration screen, select:

• Administration Server

Required to properly configure the listen address of the Administration Server.

• Node Manager

Required to configure Node Manager.

• Topology

Required to configure the Oracle Managed File Transfer Managed Server.

Optionally, select other available options as required for your desired installationenvironment. The steps in this guide describe a standard installation topology, but youmay choose to follow a different path. If your installation requirements extend toadditional options outside the scope of this guide, you may be presented withadditional screens to configure those options. For information about all ConfigurationWizard screens, see Configuration Wizard Screens in Creating WebLogic DomainsUsing the Configuration Wizard.

Configuring the Administration Server Listen AddressUse the Administration Server screen to select the IP address of the host.

Select the drop-down list next to Listen Address and select the IP address of the hostwhere the Administration Server will reside, or use the system name or DNS namethat maps to a single IP address. Do not use All Local Addresses.

Do not specify any server groups for the Administration Server.


4-12

Configuring Node ManagerUse the Node Manager screen to select the type of Node Manager you want toconfigure, along with the Node Manager credentials.

Select Per Domain Default Location as the Node Manager type, then specify NodeManager credentials.

For more information about this screen, see Node Manager in Creating WebLogicDomains Using the Configuration Wizard.

For more about Node Manager types, see Node Manager Overview in AdministeringNode Manager for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Configuring Managed Servers for Oracle Managed File TransferUse the Managed Servers screen to configure Managed Servers.

On the Managed Servers screen, a new Managed Server named mft_server1 isautomatically created by default.

To configure Managed Servers for Oracle Managed File Transfer:

1. In the Listen Address drop-down list, select the IP address of the host on whichthe Managed Server will reside or use the system name. Do not use All LocalAddresses.

2. In the Server Groups drop-down list, make sure that MFT-MGD-SVRS is selected.This server group ensures that Oracle Managed File Transfer and Oracle WebServices Manager (OWSM) services are targeted to the Managed Servers you arecreating.

There is another server group called MFT-MGD-SVRS-ONLY that targets onlyOracle Managed File Transfer but not Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) tothe server. This is typically used if you want to have Oracle Web ServicesManager (OWSM) in a different server rather than with the MFT server.

Server groups target Fusion Middleware applications and services to one or moreservers by mapping defined application service groups to each defined servergroup. A given application service group may be mapped to multiple server groupsif needed. Any application services that are mapped to a given server group areautomatically targeted to all servers that are assigned to that group. For moreinformation, see Application Service Groups, Server Groups, and ApplicationService Mappings in Domain Template Reference.

3. Configuring a second Managed Server is one of the steps needed to configure thestandard topology for high availability. If you are not creating a highly availableenvironment, then this step is optional.

Click Add and select MFT-MGD-SVRS to create a second Managed Servernamed mft_server2.

For more information about the high availability standard topology, see About theFusion Middleware Standard HA Topology in High Availability Guide.

For more information about the next steps to prepare for high availability after yourdomain is configured, see Preparing Your Environment for High Availability.

These server names are referenced in examples throughout this document; if youchoose different names be sure to replace them as needed.


4-13

For more information about this screen, see Managed Servers in Creating WebLogicDomains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Configuring a Cluster for Oracle Managed File TransferUse the Clusters screen to create a new cluster.

On the Clusters screen:

1. Click Add.

2. Specify mft_cluster1 in the Cluster Name field.

3. Leave the Cluster Address field blank.

By default, server instances in a cluster communicate with one another using unicast.If you want to change your cluster communications to use multicast, see Considerations for Choosing Unicast or Multicast in Administering Clusters for OracleWebLogic Server.

You can also create clusters using Fusion Middleware Control. In this case, you canconfigure cluster communication (unicast or multicast) when you create the newcluster. See Create and configure clusters in Oracle WebLogic Server AdministrationConsole Online Help.

For more information about this screen, see Clusters in Creating WebLogic DomainsUsing the Configuration Wizard.

Defining Server TemplatesIf you are creating dynamic clusters for a high availability setup, use the ServerTemplates screen to define one or more server templates for domain.

To continue configuring the domain, click Next.

For steps to create a dynamic cluster for a high availability setup, see Using DynamicClusters in High Availability Guide.

Configuring Dynamic ServersIf you are creating dynamic clusters for a high availability setup, use the DynamicServers screen to configure the dynamic servers.

If you are not configuring a dynamic cluster, click Next to continue configuring thedomain.

Note:

When you create dynamic clusters, keep in mind that after you assign theMachine Name Match Expression, you do not need to create machines foryour dynamic cluster.

To create a dynamic cluster for a high availability setup, see Using Dynamic Clustersin High Availability Guide.


4-14

Assigning Oracle Managed File Transfer Managed Servers to the ClusterUse the Assign Servers to Clusters screen to assign Managed Servers to a newconfigured cluster. A configured cluster is a cluster you configure manually. You do notuse this screen if you are configuring a dynamic cluster, a cluster that contains one ormore generated server instances that are based on a server template.

Note:

All Managed Servers of a component type in the domain must belong to thatcluster. For example, Oracle Managed File Transfer domains support only asingle Oracle Managed File Transfer cluster inside each domain.

For more on configured cluster and dynamic cluster terms, see About DynamicClusters in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server.

On the Assign Servers to Clusters screen:

1. In the Clusters pane, select the cluster to which you want to assign the ManagedServers; in this case, mft_cluster1.

2. In the Servers pane, assign mft_server1 to mft_cluster1 by doing one of thefollowing:

• Click once on mft_server1 to select it, then click the right arrow to move itbeneath the selected cluster (mft_cluster1) in the Clusters pane.

• Double-click on mft_server1 to move it beneath the selected cluster(mft_cluster1) in the Clusters pane.

3. Repeat to assign mft_server2 to mft_cluster1.

The following image shows a generic example of the Clusters pane after ManagedServers are assigned to clusters.For more information about this screen, see Assign Servers to Clusters in CreatingWebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Configuring Coherence ClustersUse the Coherence Clusters screen to configure the Coherence cluster.

Leave the default port number as the Coherence cluster listen port. After configuration,the Coherence cluster is automatically added to the domain.

Note:

Setting the unicast listen port to 0 creates an offset for the Managed Serverport numbers. The offset is 5000, meaning the maximum allowed value thatyou can assign to a Managed Server port number is 60535, instead of 65535.

See Table 5-2 for more information and next steps for configuring Coherence.


4-15

For Coherence licensing information, see Oracle Coherence Products in LicensingInformation.

Creating a New Oracle Managed File Transfer MachineUse the Machines screen to create new machines in the domain. A machine isrequired so that Node Manager can start and stop servers.

If you plan to create a high availability environment and know the list of machines yourtarget topology requires, you can follow the instructions in this section to create all themachines at this time. For more about scale out steps, see Optional Scale OutProcedure in High Availability Guide.

To create a new Oracle Managed File Transfer machine so that Node Manager canstart and stop servers:

1. Select the Machine tab (for Windows) or the UNIX Machine tab (for UNIX), thenclick Add to create a new machine.

2. In the Name field, specify a machine name, such as mft_machine1.

3. In the Node Manager Listen Address field, select the IP address of the machine inwhich the Managed Servers are being configured.

You must select a specific interface and not localhost. This allows Coherencecluster addresses to be dynamically calculated.

4. Verify the port in the Node Manager Listen Port field.

5. Repeat these steps to add more machines, if required.

Note:

If you are extending an existing domain, you can assign servers to anyexisting machine. It is not necessary to create a new machine unless yoursituation requires it.

For more information about this screen, see Machines in Creating WebLogic DomainsUsing the Configuration Wizard.

Assigning Servers to Oracle Managed File Transfer MachinesUse the Assign Servers to Machines screen to assign the Administration Server andManaged Servers to the new machine you just created.

On the Assign Servers to Machines screen:

1. In the Machines pane, select the machine to which you want to assign the servers;in this case, mft_machine1.

2. In the Servers pane, assign AdminServer to mft_machine1 by doing one of thefollowing:

• Click once on AdminServer to select it, then click the right arrow to move itbeneath the selected machine (mft_machine1) in the Machines pane.


4-16

• Double-click on AdminServer to move it beneath the selected machine(mft_machine1) in the Machines pane.

3. Repeat these steps to assign all Managed Servers to their respective machines.

For more information about this screen, see Assign Servers to Machines in CreatingWebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Virtual TargetsIf you have a WebLogic Server Multitenant (MT) environment, you use the VirtualTargets screen to add or delete virtual targets. For this installation (not a WebLogicServer MT environment), you do not enter any values; just select Next.

For details about this screen, see Virtual Targets in Creating WebLogic DomainsUsing the Configuration Wizard.

Table 5-3 Tasks Required to Prepare Your Environment for High Availability


Scaling out to multiple hostcomputers

To enable high availability, it is important toprovide failover capabilities to another hostcomputer. That way, if one computer goesdown, your environment can continue toserve the consumers of your deployedapplications.

See Scaling Out a Topology(Machine Scale Out) in the HighAvailability Guide.

Configuring high availabilityfor your Web Tiercomponents.

If you have added a Web tier front-end, thenyou must configure the Web Tier for highavailability, as well as the WebLogic Serversoftware.

See Configuring High Availability forWeb Tier Components in HighAvailability Guide.

Setting up a front-end loadbalancer

A load balancer can be used to distributerequests across servers more evenly.

See Server Load Balancing in aHigh Availability Environment and Configuring Load Balancer VirtualServer Names and Ports in HighAvailability Guide.

Configuring Node Manager Node Manager enables you to start, shutdown, and restart the Administration Serverand Managed Server instances from aremote location. This document assumesyou have configured a per-domain NodeManager. Review the Node Managerdocumentation, for information on advancedNode Manager configuration options andfeatures.

2. If you only have one product installed in your Oracle home, delete theORACLE_HOME directory. If you have multiple products installed in your Oraclehome, delete all products before you delete the ORACLE_HOME directory.

Removing the Domain and Application DataAfter you uninstall the software, you must remove the domain and application data.

To remove the domain and application data:

Chapter 6Removing the Oracle Home Directory Manually

6-4

1. Manually remove your Domain home directory. For example:

On a UNIX operating system, if your Domain home directory is /home/Oracle/config/domains/mft_domain, enter the following command:

cd /home/Oracle/config/domains

rm -rf mft_domain

On a Windows operating system, if your Domain home directory is C:\Oracle\Config\domains\mft_domain, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Config\domains directory. Right-click on the mft_domain folder andselect Delete.

2. Manually remove your Application home directory. For example:

On a UNIX operating system, if your Application home directory is /home/Oracle/config/applications/mft_domain, enter the following commands:

cd /home/Oracle/config/applications

rm -rf mft_domain

On a Windows operating system, if your Application home directory is C:\Oracle\Config\applications\mft_domain, use a file manager window and navigate tothe C:\Oracle\Config\applications directory. Right-click on the mft_domainfolder and select Delete.

3. Back up the domain_registry.xml file in your Oracle home, then edit the file andremove the line associated with the domain that you are removing. For example,to remove the mft_domain, find the following line and remove it:

<domain location="/home/Oracle/config/domains/mft_domain"/>

Save and exit the file when you are finished.

Reinstalling the SoftwareYou can reinstall your software into the same Oracle home as a previous installationonly if you uninstalled the software by following the instructions in this section,including manually removing the Oracle home directory.

When you reinstall, you can then specify the same Oracle home as your previousinstallation.

If ODI is installed again in the same location where it was previously deleted, deletethe entire Oracle Home where it was previously installed.

Consider the following cases where the Oracle home is not empty:

• Installing in an existing Oracle home that contains the same feature sets.

The installer warns you that the Oracle home that you specified during installationalready contains the same software you are trying to install.

You can either:

– Select a different installation type. In this case, only the feature sets that donot exist in the Oracle home directory are installed.

– Select a different Oracle home directory.

• Installing in an existing, non-empty Oracle home.

Chapter 6Reinstalling the Software

6-5

For example, suppose you chose to create your Domain home or Applicationhome somewhere inside your existing Oracle home. This data is not removedwhen you uninstall a product, so if you try to reinstall into the same Oracle home,the installer does not allow it. Your options are:

– Uninstall your software from the Oracle home (as this section describes) andthen remove the Oracle home directory. After you uninstall the software andremove the Oracle home directory, you can reinstall and reuse the sameOracle home location. Any domain or application data that was in the Oraclehome must be re-created.

– Select a different Oracle home directory.

CUpdating the JDK After Installing andConfiguring an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareProduct

Consider that you have a JDK version jdk1.8.0_121 installed on your machine. Whenyou install and configure an Oracle Fusion Middleware product, the utilities, such asConfiguration Wizard (config.sh|exe), OPatch, or RCU point to a default JDK, forexample, jdk1.8.0_121. After some time, Oracle releases a new version of the JDK,say jdk1.8.0_131 that carries security enhancements and bug fixes.From 12c (12.2.1.3.0) onwards, you can upgrade the existing JDK to a newer version,and can have the complete product stack point to the newer version of the JDK.

You can maintain multiple versions of JDK and switch to the required version on needbasis.

• About Updating the JDK Location After Installing an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareProductThe binaries and other metadata and utility scripts in the Oracle home and Domainhome, such as RCU or Configuration Wizard, use a JDK version that was usedwhile installing the software and continue to refer to the same version of the JDK.The JDK path is stored in a variable called JAVA_HOME which is centrally locatedin .globalEnv.properties file inside the ORACLE_HOME/oui directory.

About Updating the JDK Location After Installing an OracleFusion Middleware Product

The binaries and other metadata and utility scripts in the Oracle home and Domainhome, such as RCU or Configuration Wizard, use a JDK version that was used whileinstalling the software and continue to refer to the same version of the JDK. The JDKpath is stored in a variable called JAVA_HOME which is centrally locatedin .globalEnv.properties file inside the ORACLE_HOME/oui directory.

The utility scripts such as config.sh|cmd, launch.sh, or opatch reside in theORACLE_HOME, and when you invoke them, they refer to the JAVA_HOME variablelocated in .globalEnv.properties file. To point these scripts and utilities to the newerversion of JDK, you must update the value of the JAVA_HOME variable inthe .globalEnv.properties file by following the directions listed in Updating the JDKLocation in an Existing Oracle Home .

To make the scripts and files in your Domain home directory point to the newer versionof the JDK, you can follow one of the following approaches:

• Specify the path to the newer JDK on the Domain Mode and JDK screen whilerunning the Configuration Wizard.

For example, consider that you installed Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructurewith the JDK version 8u121. So while configuring the WebLogic domain with theConfiguration Assistant, you can select the path to the newer JDK on the Domain

C-1

Mode and JDK screen of the Configuration Wizard. Example: /scratch/jdk/jdk1.8.0_131.

• Manually locate the files that have references to the JDK using grep (UNIX) orfindstr (Windows) commands and update each reference. See Updating theJDK Location in an Existing Domain Home.

Note:

If you install the newer version of the JDK in the same location as theexisting JDK by overwriting the files, then you don’t need to take any action.

• Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Oracle HomeThe getProperty.sh|cmd script displays the value of a variable, such asJAVA_HOME, from the .globalEnv.properties file. The setProperty.sh|cmd scriptis used to set the value of variables, such as OLD_JAVA_HOME or JAVA_HOMEthat contain the locations of old and new JDKs in the .globalEnv.properties file.

• Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Domain HomeYou must search the references to the current JDK, for example jdk1.8.0_121manually, and replace those instances with the location of the new JDK.

Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Oracle HomeThe getProperty.sh|cmd script displays the value of a variable, such asJAVA_HOME, from the .globalEnv.properties file. The setProperty.sh|cmd script isused to set the value of variables, such as OLD_JAVA_HOME or JAVA_HOME thatcontain the locations of old and new JDKs in the .globalEnv.properties file.

The getProperty.sh|cmd and setProperty.sh|cmd scripts are located in the followinglocation:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\binWhere, ORACLE_HOME is the directory that contains the products using the currentversion of the JDK, such as jdk1.8.0_121.

To update the JDK location in the .globalEnv.properties file:

1. Use the getProperty.sh|cmd script to display the path of the current JDK from theJAVA_HOME variable. For example:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/getProperty.sh JAVA_HOME(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\getProperty.cmd JAVA_HOMEecho JAVA_HOMEWhere JAVA_HOME is the variable in the .globalEnv.properties file that containsthe location of the JDK.

2. Back up the path of the current JDK to another variable such asOLD_JAVA_HOME in the .globalEnv.properties file by entering the followingcommands:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/setProperty.sh -name OLD_JAVA_HOME-value specify_the_path_of_current_JDK(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\setProperty.cmd -nameOLD_JAVA_HOME -value specify_the_path_of_current_JDK

Appendix CAbout Updating the JDK Location After Installing an Oracle Fusion Middleware Product

C-2

This command creates a new variable called OLD_JAVA_HOME inthe .globalEnv.properties file, with a value that you have specified.

3. Set the new location of the JDK in the JAVA_HOME variable ofthe .globalEnv.properties file, by entering the following commands:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/setProperty.sh -name JAVA_HOME -value specify_the_location_of_new_JDK(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\setProperty.cmd -name JAVA_HOME-value specify_the_location_of_new_JDK

After you run this command, the JAVA_HOME variable inthe .globalEnv.properties file now contains the path to the new JDK, such asjdk1.8.0_131.

Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Domain HomeYou must search the references to the current JDK, for example jdk1.8.0_121manually, and replace those instances with the location of the new JDK.

You can use the grep (UNIX) or findstr (Windows) commands to search for thejdk-related references.

You’ll likely be required to update the location of JDK in the following three files:

(UNIX) DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setNMJavaHome.sh(Windows) DOMAIN_HOME\bin\setNMJavaHome.cmd

(UNIX) DOMAIN_HOME/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties(Windows) DOMAIN_HOME\nodemanager\nodemanager.properties

(UNIX) DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh(Windows) DOMAIN_HOME\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
