SOA 12C installation Part 1 - step by step installation

In this blog we will see how to install SOA Suite 12 C on windows 7.

If you want to see installation steps on Ubuntu platform, refer my other post.

Step 1:

The first step is downloading the SOA 12C installable from Oracle OTN. Enter your Oracle Technology Network account, if you don’t have one you’ll need to create an account.

It includes Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Oracle Human Workflow, Oracle Business Rules, Oracle Mediator, Oracle Service Bus, Technology Adapters Oracle Enterprise Scheduler, SOA Spring Component, Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, Oracle JDeveloper with SOA IDE extensions and an integrated WebLogic Server and Java DB.

Step 2:

While the SOA suite is being downloaded, we can check on JDK versions. A recent version of JDK is required, I am using jdk-7u79-windows-x64.exe, I actually tried with JDK 8 but it SOA didn’t support that version so I had to revert to JDK7. If you don’t have java installed, download and install from below location:

Step 3:

Install Java and set your Java_HOME environment variable to the installed location, for example, I have installed Java at C:\Oracle\12C\jdk.1.7.0_79

Step 4:

Now it’s time to install SOA Suite, unzip the downloaded SOA suite and open command prompt as an administrator:

Step 5:

Navigate to the downloaded & extracted installable location and run:

C:\Oracle\12C\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\Java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar

Or navigate to installed Java Home directory and execute :

Java –jar C:\Drive\Softwares\12C\Windows\fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of1\ fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar

Step 6:

Select your preferred location for Oracle Home:

Step 7:

 Click on Install.

Step 8:

click on Finish.

This will start JDeveloper.
