    Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware Installation on Linux

    This note describes the (long) process of installing an 11g Fusion Middleware environment with Forms, Reports, Discoverer and Portal on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 64 Bit platform.

    If you are not using Oracle Portal , then you do not need to configure Identity Management and Single Sign On which is a real big pain as there is no 11g SSO as yet and we have to install, upgrade and configure 10g SSO/DAS as well with a number of patches.

    These are the top level steps:

    Install Java SE Development Kit 6u25

    Install Oracle Weblogic Server 11g Release 1 ( 10.3.2)

    Install Oracle 11g R2 Database software (can be on same machine as Middleware or different server)

    Create the 11g R2 repository database

    Download the Repository creation for Windows available in 32 bit for Linux and Windows ( ofm_rcu_win32_11.1.1.3.3_disk1_1of1.zip) – change compatibility for Windows 7 to run it

    Make changes to the database required for running

    Cloning 10g Application Server Mid Tier

    Recently at one on my client sites, there was a requirement to create an additional 10g Discoverer instance of an Oracle Application Server. Rather than attempt a fresh installation as a number of patches had been applied to this Oracle Home, I decided to perform an Oracle Application Server clone instead.

    Here are the steps outlined – source machine is sunos1 and target machine is sunos2.

    On the source and target ensure that the PERL5LIB variable is set.

    sunos1:/u01/app/oracle $ export PERL5LIB=$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.6.1:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1

    Execute the prepare_clone.pl perl command

    sunos1:/u01/app/oracle/BIPROD/clone/bin $ ./prepare_clone.pl ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/BIPROD

    Creating the log directory: /u01/app/oracle/BIPROD/clone/logs

    Clone log file location: /u01/app/oracle/BIPROD/clone/logs/clone1284085526.log

    How To Migrate OID Users Between Two 10g iAS Environments

    This note will describe how we can migrate a set of user accounts whose credentials are stored in the Oracle Internet Directory (OID). This may be required for example when we want to move users from a development 10g iAS environment to a production one.
