Repository Creation Utility for FMW in Silent Mode
Recent developments in Oracle FMW 12.2.1 gives more changes in the RCU execution as well. Here I am using the e-delivery SOA Suite which is hosted on top of Infrastructure.
New Learnings -- The component list increased and changed the sequence MDS, OPSS, IAU_APPEND, IAU_VIEWER, IAU, WLS, UCSUMS, SOAINFRA
Assumptions: Create SOAADM user with SYSDBA role. You might use a different ORACLE_HOME installation path. Instead of entering the many passwords in the passwordfile.txt we can use the same password for all schema users which can be done with -useSamePasswordForAllSchemaUsers option.

For automation or usage in containerization, this would be preferable option.

RUNNING REPOSITORY CREATION UTILITY on FMW 12.1.3 in Silent mode
First, connect as sys then create the user for SOA as SOADEMO user. then next step is to grant the privileges - connect, resource (optional), SYSDBA(must have) for SOADEMO database user You need the same as SYS Privileges. You cannot proceed without this in most of the Production environments.
When you run rcu utility, it has two options to execute:
1. Silent mode
2. GUI mode
In both cases, it will ask for DB host, port, sid, SYS username, password.
Now this RCU is a big giant sql script(s), that creates Schema, Tablespaces, Users, Tables, Views, Sequences, etc. Hence RCU needs SYS details.
you can run RCU from any OS like Windows very simple because it uses GUI when you use remote Linux box then you feel OMG!! Again for this we have two options using Xwindows running remote machine windows in your system using third party software like hamming bird Exceed or XMing, moboXterm. Another option using -silent option.So in your learning purpose or to quickly test for POC use Windows.
Preparation for running RCU
- Oracle XE on Vagrant Ubuntu box RAM 1024MB with a hostonly IP
- FMW RCU zip file with enough diskspace minimum 20GB
Here is my Vagrantfile modifications snippet that suites your RCU basic setup needs for you :
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "precise64"
config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
config.vm.hostname = "oracle.vybhava.com"
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/home/vagrant/vagrant-ubuntu-oracle-xe", :mount_options => ["dmode=777","fmode=666"]
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.115"
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 1521, host: 1521
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id,
"--name", "oracle",
# Oracle claims to need 512MB of memory available minimum
"--memory", "1024",
# Enable DNS behind NAT
"--natdnshostresolver1", "on"]
end
After the above snippet remaining code in the Vagrant file let it be the same!
Now execute the vagrant up command to keep running the Oracle XE DB on precise Ubuntu.

All you need here are : db host, port, sid, SYS username, SYS password. Thats all!
sqlplus sys as sysdba

If we want to use Oracle as a database, then we should update the database parameters once after the installation.
Set the SESSION, PROCESSES parameter to >=200 using the following instructions.
show parameter session
show parameter processes
alter system reset sessions scope=spfile sid=’*’;
alter system set processes=200 scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate
startup

Running RCU for SOA Schema from Shell Script
Here is my generic approach for silent mode installation command-line options kept in a shell script.
Unzip RCU file
In precise Ubuntu unzip command didn't worked, then installed the unzip
sudo apt-get install unzip
Now we can unzip the rcu file...
vagrant@mydev:~$ unzip /u01/app/software/SOA/ofm_rcu_linux_11.1.1.7.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip -d .
Archive: /u01/app/software/SOA/ofm_rcu_linux_11.1.1.7.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
inflating: ./readme.html
creating: ./rcuHome/
The shell script uses silent mode installation for SOA Suite 11.1.1.7.0 schemas.
#!/bin/bash
# FileName : createRCU.sh
# Description : This script is used to run the rcu in silent mode
# Sample is for SOA product which will work for MDS, ORASDPM, SOAINFRA, BAM

export RCU_HOME=/home/vagrant/rcuHome
export RCU_LOG_LOCATION=$RCU_HOME/rcu/log
CONNSTR='192.168.33.115:1521:XE'
PASS_INPUT="passwdfile.txt"
echo "Running RCU for SOA Suite"
$RCU_HOME/bin/rcu -silent -createRepository -databaseType ORACLE \
-connectString $CONNSTR \
-dbUser SOADEMO -dbRole SYSDBA \
-schemaPrefix DEV \
-component MDS \
-component ORASDPM \
-component SOAINFRA \
-component BAM -f < $PASS_INPUT
echo $?
The passwdfile.txt contains pasword for the SYSBA user then for the remaining component wise passwords given in each line.

The RCU script execution is as follows:

SQL confirmation
Now its validation time, run the following SQL command to check whether all SOA component schema are created :
SELECT comp_name, owner, version FROM schema_version_registry;
OFMW Product wise RCU component selection
- SOA/OSB - SOAINFRA, ORASDPM, BAM by default you will be get MDS
You can see all RCU schema scripts available

Troubleshooting RCU issue
You might encounter some of the RCU Level errors. one of them addressed here.
Processing command line ....
Invalid username/password.
Please enter valid username/password
RCU-6090:Skipping Main operation: Failed in Connection step validation

Solution:
When connection failed please double check your database user must have SYSDBA role and the passwd for this user can be passed first then for other schemas.
