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!


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.


Click done to finish.


Install Weblogic Server

To install Weblogic Server execute the download wls1036_generic.jar with the JDK.

Go to the directory with wls1036_generic.jar and type: <JDK Path>\bin\java -jar wls1036_generic.jar


Click yes


Select I wish and click continue


Then choose a Custom install and click <Next>. On the next screen uncheck Oracle

Coherence


Click done to finish


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):


After entering locations click <Next>. For this installation we will not run the Endeca Server in a secure mode, so uncheck 'Yes':


Click finish to complete


Installing oracle jrf 11.1.1.6.0:


Click finish to complete


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:


Password: welcome1



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

http://localhost:7001/endeca-server/ws/manage?wsdl

http://localhost:7001/endeca-server/ws/manage?wsdl


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


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


Password : welcome1


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 -

Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xer

ces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -

Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.in

ternal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl


In the same file update (2 times) memory arguments:

Change set WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT=-Xms256m -Xmx512m into: set WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT=-Xms256m –Xmx1024m

and Change

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.

http://www.endeca123.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/installv30_studio1.png


The directory <Weblogic Middleware Home>\user_projects\domains will look like:


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).

http://localhost:8880/console


Go to Configure applications:


Click Install:


Locate the file endeca-portal-weblogic-3.0.10089.ear in <Weblogic Middleware

Home>\user_projects\domainsand paste the path to that file in the Path space.

Hit <enter>:


Click next


Click finish


Click save


Then click on deployments in the left pane of the Domain Structure. In the deployments then check endeca-portal-weblogic and from the Start drop down select: Servicing All Requests:


you can check the URL: http://localhost:<port number> (in my case: http://localhost:8880):

http://localhost:8880/

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.


Click finish
