Introduction


WebLogic Server is Oracle's flagship J2EE application server and is the foundation of the Oracle Fusion Middleware range of products, such as Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle WebCenter, and Oracle Service Bus. The new 12c version is being fully integrated with Oracle's Middleware products, and the system administrators who are already familiar with the core WebLogic administration tasks will be one step ahead of the market demand.

Oracle WebLogic Server 12c applications and systems deployed in production environments normally require performance, scalability, and high availability; these are usually not needed in a development environment. The recipes in this book focus on achieving these objectives.

This chapter condenses the core tasks a WebLogic administrator should know, such as downloading the correct package, installing it, and creating a WebLogic domain, configuring it, and managing it.

Installing WebLogic Server 12c


You should already be familiar with basic WebLogic installation, so this recipe covers the steps to a quick installation of WebLogic Server 12c in production environments.

This recipe will focus on a new install rather than upgrades or migrations.

Getting ready

It is important to navigate through Oracle's website and check if the chosen hardware and operational system architectures are supported in Certification Matrix before installing WebLogic Server. You should look for system requirements and supported platforms for WebLogic Server 12c. This is crucial for a production environment since Oracle Support verifies if you are running a supported configuration when an issue appears.

The book assumes the following hardware and software architectures for WebLogic Server 12c installations:

  • X86-64 processor (such as Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron)

  • Linux x86-64 architecture (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Oracle Linux)

Operational systems based on Linux x86-64 (64-bit) are the most commonly used in production environments, and these instructions should cover other Unix architectures as well.

Note

The use of WebLogic Server in Microsoft Windows for production environments will not be considered in this book.

Oracle JRockit 6 for Linux x86-64 is the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that has been used through the rest of this book. Download it at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/jrockit/downloads. The filename is jrockit-jdk1.6.0_XXX-linux-x64.bin, where XXX stands for the JRockit release and JDK version.

The package WebLogic Server 12 c (12.1.1) generic installer (997 MB) for use with 64-bit JVMs should also be downloaded at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads. The filename is wls1211_generic.jar.

Note

To simplify the reading, we'll use the following terms when referring to the directories:

  • $JAVA_HOME to JRockit/Java Home directory: /oracle/jvm

  • $MW_HOME to Middleware Home: /oracle/Middleware

  • $WL_HOME to WebLogic Home: /oracle/Middleware/wlserver_12.1

How to do it...

Carry out the following steps to install WebLogic Server 12c:

  1. Create a dedicated user to host and run WebLogic Server 12c in Linux. Log in as the root user and create the user and the group named wls, and define a new password for it:

    [root@prod01]# groupadd wls
    [root@prod01]# useradd -g wls wls
    [root@prod01]# passwd wls
    Changing password for user wls.
    New UNIX password: <new password>
    Retype new UNIX password: <new password>
    
  2. Log in as the wls user and set the correct file permissions:

    [wls@prod01]$ umask 027
    
  3. Run the JRockit installer in console mode and install JRockit:

    [wls@prod01]$ ./jrockit-jdk1.6_xxx-linux-x64.bin -mode=console
    
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions and type/oracle/jvm in the Product Installation directory. You can just press Enter for all the other options. JRockit will be installed without the demos and with no source code.

  5. Run WebLogic Server 12c Generic Installer in console mode:

    [wls@prod01]$ /oracle/jvm/bin/java –jar wls1211_generic.jar –mode=console
    
  6. Follow the onscreen instructions and type/oracle/Middleware for the "Middleware Home" = [Enter new value or use default] screen. Press Enter to move forward.

  7. Skip the Register for Security Updates screen by typing 3 to navigate to 3|Receive Security Update:[Yes], then type No and then Yes. Press Enter to move forward.

  8. Type 1 to select the 1|Typical option on the Install Type screen.

  9. The freshly installed /oracle/jvm JDK should be selected. If not, add it by typing 1 for 1|Add Local Jdk.

  10. Press Enter to confirm all the other screens.

How it works...

These install instructions will provide a clean and fresh WebLogic Server 12c installation in the prod01 hostname.

It also covers some basic user administration in Linux that can be skipped if you already have an operational system user.

Tip

Don't forget to set the correct file permissions with umask before installing WebLogic Server 12c.

Both JRockit and WebLogic Server were installed in the console mode option without any graphical interface. Production environments are more restricted, and console mode requires only a terminal; it is faster and does not need an X11 Server.

Generic installer is used to install WebLogic since it is the one that contains the native library for x86-64. The native library is important because it enables the use of a native socket reader that is much faster than the pure Java socket reader. This library enables what is called the performance pack on WebLogic and is mandatory in a production environment.

The installation process is very straightforward and only copies the files to their directories. The next step is to create a new WebLogic domain.

I read this as a recommended book from one of my consultants. It was neatly written. The book does show you how to do the stuff using WLST which is a great plus. I like the sections of each chapter how they're organized. I've been working as a weblogic administrator for many years now and this book is a good buy. All the topics covered are very essential as part of day to day administration tasks especially troubleshooting and tuning that's covered in chapters 6 and 7. The book also explains the default values Vs recommended values. Overall, I would recommend this book for any WLS administrator.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
