SOA Suite 11.1.1.4

You can download all the related software from OTN

And follow the installation documentation

In this post I will tell you how to set up a SOA suite 11.1.1.4 from the beginning, a fresh install.
In our case since we are doing a Fresh installation we will directly install SOA Suite 11.1.1.2 and upgrade to 11.1.1.4.
The course of action will be
We will install a database and run RCU 11.1.1.4,We need not run RCU for 11.1.1.2 as we will not create a domain.We will install Weblogic server 10.3.2 and apply SOA 11.1.1.2 on top of it.Then we will upgrade weblogic 10.3.2 to weblogic 10.3.4 ,further we will upgrade SOA suite 11.1.1.2 to 11.1.1.4,then we will create a domain.I believe you already have a database at your end so I will not cover how to set up a database we will directly go ahead with RCU.This is the case when you want to install SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 on top of existing SOA Suite 11.1.1.2/11.1.1.3,However you can install SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 in standalone also.


Run RCU for 11.1.1.4
























Install Weblogic 10.3.2
========================















=================================================================================

Install SOA Suite 11.1.1.2 because SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 is not a direct installer it has to be installed on top of existing Middleware
















====================================================================================

Upgrade Weblogic Server to 10.3.4














=====================================================================================

Upgrade your SOA Suite to 11.1.1.4


















==================================================================================

Creation of domain























Once the server is created try to start the server

you might face some issues like this



GO to BEA_HOME\user_projects\domains\soa_domain\bin and open

setDomainEnv.cmd and check the following entry


set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx1256m

Change it to some lesser value for Xmx


set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx758m

and now try to restart the server.

This was the case of a separate installation for SOA Suite 11.1.1.4

If you want to upgrade your existing SOA Suite 11.1.1.2/11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.4

then you need not create a new RCU ,you need to upgrade your schema

for that you can follow the following document

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e16793/patch_set_installer.htm#BABBCEDH

Section 3.7, "Updating Your Schemas with Patch Set Assistant"

You can post me any queries if you have in the same.

If you are on SOA suite 11.1.1.2 or 11.1.1.3 i would recommend to upgrade to SOA 11.1.1.4 as it fixes a lot of issues specially with memory and performance realted issues.
