Oracle SOA Suite 10g Installation


Oracle SOA:
An Application Architecture that is designed to achieve loose coupling among interacting heterogeneous software applications.

Components of SOA 10g:
The Oracle Soa Suite 10g consists of following components
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Oracle Enterprise service Bus
Oracle Web Service Manager

Installation of Oracle Soa 10g:
Download SOA Suite from this site
Download Jdeveloper from this site
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/archives.html
Extract Jdeveloper to any directory (C:/) and in this folder folder u will find Jdeveloper in the shape of coffee cup when u will double click it it provides the environment for the development .In this we need to create certain connections(After SOA Suite is Successfully Installed)
1. Application Server Connection
2. Integration Server Connection
3. Database Connection

The following are the steps for SOA installation :
1. The installation can be done in two ways Basic installation and advanced installation, for advanced installation oracle database 10g is needed. Download oracle database express edition from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html
2. For Basic installation Oracle database 10g is not needed SOA itself having Oracle Olite database and it will make use of it.

Difference in Basic and Advanced Installation:
The basic install option allows you little choice in how things are set up. The advanced install gives more options, allowing you to install
· SOA Suite with a web server
· just a web server
· just a J2EE server
· or a web server and J2EE server without SOA Suite
If installing SOA Suite it also requires an external database to act as the repository. When installing SOA Suite it creates two OC4J instances called home and oc4j_soa. The home container will normally run the application server control and Java SSO components. The oc4j_soa instance will have the same components as in the basic install but normally the AS control and the Java SSO will not be active in this instance.The advanced install SOA Suite option also provides the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) to act as the web server.
