Before getting started to learn SOA 12c, we may need to have the environment where we can perform our hands-on. For this we will install Virtual Machine (VM) with Oracle Linux and inbuilt SOA Suite 12c and all required components. Follow the below steps to install and configure SOA 12c Virtual Machine (VM).
1. Go to Google.com and search "download Oracle Virtualbox"
2. Open the first link (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) and download the latest available version and install it.
3. There are some pre-built VMs designed for developers and are available on Oracle Tech Network site. Go to Oracle Tech Network (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html) and find the below entry for SOA Suite 12.1.3.0.1 VM or any available latest version
4. Click on Download and Instructions. Accept the License and download all 7 zip parts. Also make sure that you have 7-zip installed on your system.
You will need to extract using 7zip or 7z to create the original .ova file that you will import into your VirtualBox manager
5. Right click the first file and Unzip it using 7zip or 7z. This should create a single file called SOA_12.1.3.0.1_OTN.ova
6. Open the Virtual Box and go to File --> Preferences. In General tab, you can choose Default Machine Folder in which imported Virtual Machine files will be stored.
7. Import the appliance (File -->Import Appliance …) and choose the SOA_12.1.3.0.1_otn.ova file.
8. You will be presented with the Appliance Settings. Review the settings and make any
necessary changes and click Import.
9. Once imported, click start button to launch the Virtual Machine.
10. On desktop, there is one folder "Server Control Scripts". In that there is one file "SOA Suite Server- Start", double click this file to start the SOA Server. It will take some time so wait it to complete. Do not close the window that had opened.
11. Now open the jDeveloper 12c using the icon on desktop.
12. Once you see the below message (SOA Platform is running and accepting requests) in the console that you opened in step number 10, then you are now ready to start your integrated weblogic server from jDeveloper.
13. in jDeveloper, go to Run --> Start Server Instance. If the window pops up asking the password, enter the password as welcome1.
14. Open the Log window from Window --> Log. In the beginning of the Log window, you will be able to see the port number. Like in my case HTTP port is 7101, and SSL port 7102.
15. Once you see the message "IntegratedWebLogicServer started", you can then login to Enterprise manager (EM) and Weblogic Console.
16. The URL for Enterprise manager is http://localhost:<port-number>/em, like in our case we have http port as 7101, so URL would be:
http://localhost:7101/em
Similarly, for Weblogic Console the URL would be:
http://localhost:7101/console
Username- weblogic
Password- welcome1
The password is the same that you put while launching the weblogic server for the first time.
