Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Silent mode installation

Welcome to learning Fusion Middleware Experiments blog series which covers all  Administration tasks. Every Java-based developed Oracle product is moved into the same strategy. Where WebLogic Infrastructure will be the platform to run the servers in HA.

Oracle FMW infrastructure installation flow

Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware products generally involves

1. Install JDK/Java Runtime

2. Create the database schemes

- required by the FMW products being installed by using the Oracle Repository Creation Utility (RCU)

3. Install Oracle WebLogic Server 

4. Install other Oracle Fusion Middleware products 

You need to know about your installation machine details first accordingly you can select the platform, architecture-specific JDK. Download JDK1.8[latest version]

Install JDK 

You can download latest stable version of JDK from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud or OTN. The following might 

cd 
tar -zxvf /vagrant_data/jdk-8u65-linux-x64.gz

This will extract and also runs the libraries' paths related to that architecture x86 or x64. Though there are many other options for JDK installations, This procedure is more generic you can do it any Linux OS -Linux-x64.gz file end side.

set the JAVA_HOME

After installation of JDK you need to setup the the JAVA_HOME environment variable in the profile and relogin to the box. This relogin is required to reflect the JAVA_HOME value into the PATH.
Add the following lines into your .bashrc or .bash_profile.

export JAVA_HOME=/home/vagrant/jdk1.8.0_65
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Validate JDK Version with the following way:

java -version

Create the responseFile for Fusion Middleware Infrastructure

Two important answers are in the responseFile are going to change for Dev to Production or one project to others, they are Install Path and Install Type. 

You need to create the response file name it as infra_install.rsp with the following:

  Inventory_loc=/u01/app/oracle/silent/oraInventory/
Inst_group=oinstall

[ENGINE]
Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0
[GENERIC]
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/products/12.2.1/Oracle_Home
INSTALL_TYPE=Fusion Middleware Infrastructure
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false

Run the installation command as follows:

java -jar fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure.jar -silent \
-responseFile /home/oracle/silent/infra_install.rsp \
-invPtrLoc /home/oracle/silent/oraInst.loc

Now see the how we have execution on precise64 Ubuntu box.

Complete installation of Oracle Fusion Infrastructure

Note:

There are multiple options to select the INSTALL_TYPE

1. INSTALL_TYPE=Fusion Middleware Infrastructure
2. INSTALL_TYPE=Fusion Middleware Infrastructure With Examples

If you need Restricted JRF Domain then use the second option.
