When you've downloaded these components you are ready to go. Perhaps first a brief summary of the steps we will do during this install, so you will not loose the overview:

1. Install the JDK (needed for the application server) 2. Install Weblogic Server (the application server) 3. Install the ADF Runtime software (some additional middletier components

needed for a succesful Endeca Server deployment) 4. Install the Endeca Server software (the analytical search database) 5. Create a Weblogic Domain for the Endeca Server

6. Create a Weblogic Domain for Endeca Studio 7. Update some Weblogic settings for the purpose of the installation of Endeca

Studio 8. Deploy the Endeca Studio application (the presentation layer)

9. Install Integrator (the ETL component) 10. Done

Install the JDK I use the jRockit, but the Sun JDK has similar steps. To install the jRockit JDK just start the setup.exe. Click <Next> on the first screen and on the second screen enter a path. DO NOT USE SPACES!

PREPARED BY RAVI KUMAR LANKE Page 5

Click <Next>. On the next page make no selections and click <Next> again. Then you

are asked if you want to install the JRE as well.

It is not necessary, but if you say Yes and <Next> then you are asked for a path again.

Enter a different path then the previous one and click <Next>.

jRockit will be installed.

Install the Endeca Server Software Open a command line box, go to the unzipped Endeca Server software directory Disk1 and start the setup with the -jreLoc option as with the ADF runtime software: setup.exe -jreLoc <JDK dir>.

The installer starts. On the Welcome screen click <Next>. After the Prerequisites Checks have been done click <Next>. Then select the Weblogic Middleware home from a drop down list. Leave the Oracle Home Directory to the default (EndecaServer7.5.1_1):

Create a Weblogic Domain for the Endeca Server: Now we need to create a Weblogic Domain for the Endeca Server software. To do so, open a command prompt (of course you can also use Windows Explorer, but I like the command line, if something goes wrong ...) and go to the directory:<Weblogic Middleware

Home>\wlserver_10.3\common\bin

Type there: config.cmd

On the appearing screen choose: Create a new Weblogic domain. Click <Next>. Then select "Oracle Endeca Server - 7.5.1.0". The second check ("Oracle JRF") comes for free:

You can verify your install of the Endeca Server. Start the Endeca Server Domain by executing: <Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains\<endeca server

domain name>\bin\startWebLogic.cmd

From a browser start this URL: http://localhost:7001/endeca-server/ws/manage?wsdl

Now the Endeca Server is completely installed and operational (on port 7001)

PREPARED BY RAVI KUMAR LANKE Page 58

Create a Weblogic Domain for Endeca Studio For the Endeca Studio application we also need to create a domain (recommended as per the documentation). This is similar to the Endeca Server Domain creation: Open a command prompt and go to the

directory: <Weblogic Middleware Home>\wlserver_10.3\common\bin

Type there: config.cmd

Click <Next>. Since we did a basic domain installation of the Endeca Server this has been configured on port 7001. So we need to change the port of the domain where Endeca Studio will be running. Change the Listen port of the future Endeca Studio Application. I chose port 8880.

Update some Weblogic settings for the purpose of Endeca Studio: Before you can deploy the Endeca Studio application, we need to modify some Weblogic settings. Edit the file:

<Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains\<Endeca Studio

Domain>\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd

Copy the italics text below and paste it in the top of the file, i.e. just after set WL_HOME. set JAVA_OPTIONS=-

Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan

.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl -

set MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE_64BIT=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m into: set MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE_64BIT=-XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Save the file

Stop the Endeca Studio domain if started (via command <Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains\<endeca server domain

name>\bin\stopWebLogic.cmd) and start it (via command <Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains\<endeca server domain

name>\bin\startWebLogic.cmd).

Deploy the Endeca Studio application

Now you will deploy the Endeca Studio application in the just created Weblogic domain. After you unzip the edelivery Studio package for Weblogic you'll see some files:

Copy the files portal-ext.properties and endeca-portal-weblogic-

3.0.10089.ear to <Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains

In the directory <Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains

create the following directories: data, deploy and weblogic-deploy. In the newly created directory <Weblogic Middleware

Home>\user_projects\domains\data create the directory endeca-data-sources.

Now let's deploy the Endeca Studio file (endeca-portal-weblogic-3.0.10089.ear).

Make sure your Endeca Studio domain has been started. Open a browser and go to URL: http://localhost:<port number>/console

(for me: http://localhost:8880/console).

Install Integrator

The last piece of software before we can create our projects is the Integrator. After the unzip of the downloaded file you will see 3 files.

2 Files are needed when you would want to deploy the server version for production environments.

For now double click the file EID_3.0_Integrator.exe.
