This section contains the following topics:

• Using the Standard Installation Topology as a Starting PointThis guide helps you create the standard installation topology for Oracle FusionMiddleware Infrastructure. You can extend this topology to make it highly availableand secure so that it is suitable for a production system.

• Using this Document to Extend an Existing DomainProcedures in this guide describe how to create a new domain; you can use thesame instructions to extend an existing domain.

1-1

• Using this Document in an Upgrade ScenarioIf you are installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure as part of an upgradeprocedure, follow steps in this guide to install the software, but don't run the Con‐figuration Wizard to create a WebLogic domain.

• About Installing a Development EnvironmentThis guide describes how to use the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure dis‐tribution to install and configure a standard installation topology as a starting pointfor a production environment.

Using the Standard Installation Topology as a Starting PointThis guide helps you create the standard installation topology for Oracle Fusion Mid‐dleware Infrastructure. You can extend this topology to make it highly available andsecure so that it is suitable for a production system.

The standard installation topology is a sample topology for this product; it is not the on‐ly topology that Oracle supports. See Understanding the Standard Installation Topolo‐gy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Using this Document to Extend an Existing DomainProcedures in this guide describe how to create a new domain; you can use the sameinstructions to extend an existing domain.

If you do this, see Installing Multiple Products in the Same Domain in Oracle FusionMiddleware Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware for important infor‐mation.

If you are creating a new domain but your needs don't match instructions in the proce‐dure, be sure to make your selections accordingly and see supporting documentationfor additional details.

Using this Document in an Upgrade ScenarioIf you are installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure as part of an upgrade pro‐cedure, follow steps in this guide to install the software, but don't run the ConfigurationWizard to create a WebLogic domain.

After you install the software, see Plan the Upgrade in Oracle Fusion Middleware Up‐grading WebLogic Server.

About Installing a Development EnvironmentThis guide describes how to use the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribu‐tion to install and configure a standard installation topology as a starting point for aproduction environment.

To install an Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure development environment, Ora‐cle recommends that you download and install Oracle JDeveloper, which provides anintegrated development environment (IDE), preconfigured with the design-time soft‐ware develop Java and Oracle Application Development (Oracle ADF) applications.

With Oracle JDeveloper, you can test your applications from within JDeveloper, usingthe integrated Oracle WebLogic Server.

5-1

Table 5-1 (Cont.) Roadmap for Uninstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure


Remove your domainand application data.

The uninstaller does not remove data contained in your Domain homenor Application home directories, even if they are located inside theOracle home. If necessary, you must remove these directories man‐ually.

See RemovingYour Domain andApplication Data.

• Stopping Oracle Fusion MiddlewareBefore you run the uninstaller, Oracle recommends that you stop all servers andprocesses associated with the Oracle home that you are going to remove.

• Removing Your Database SchemasBefore removing the Oracle home, Oracle recommends that you run RepositoryCreation Utility to remove database schemas associated with a domain.

• Uninstalling the SoftwareYou can use the uninstaller or perform a silent install.

• Removing the Oracle Home Directory ManuallyAfter the uninstaller finishes, you must manually remove your Oracle home direc‐tory and any existing sub-directories that the uninstaller did not remove.

• Removing Program Shortcuts on Windows Operating SystemsOn Windows operating systems, you must also manually remove the programshort cuts; the uninstaller does not remove them for you.

• Removing Your Domain and Application DataIf you will no longer use domain and application files, you can remove them.

Stopping Oracle Fusion MiddlewareBefore you run the uninstaller, Oracle recommends that you stop all servers and proc‐esses associated with the Oracle home that you are going to remove.

For more about how to stop servers and processes, see Stopping an Oracle FusionMiddleware Environment in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle FusionMiddleware.

Removing Your Database SchemasBefore removing the Oracle home, Oracle recommends that you run Repository Crea‐tion Utility to remove database schemas associated with a domain.

Each domain has its own set of schemas that a custom prefix uniquely identifies (see Understanding Custom Prefixes in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Schemas withthe Repository Creation Utility). This set of schemas cannot be shared with any otherdomain (see Planning Your Schema Creation in Oracle Fusion Middleware CreatingSchemas with the Repository Creation Utility).

If there are multiple sets of schemas on your database, be sure to identify the schemaprefix associated with the domain you are removing.

For schema removal steps, see Dropping Schemas in Oracle Fusion Middleware Cre‐ating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

Uninstalling the SoftwareYou can use the uninstaller or perform a silent install.

To perform a silent (command-line) uninstallation, see Running the Oracle UniversalInstaller for Silent Uninstallation in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing Software withthe Oracle Universal Installer.

• Starting the Uninstallation ProgramThe method you use to start the uninstallation program depends on your operatingsystem: Windows or UNIX.

• Distribution to UninstallThe installer shows the Distribution to Uninstall screen only if it detects more thanone distribution in the Oracle home that you start the program from.

• Navigating the Uninstallation ScreensThe uninstallation program shows a series of screens in the order that the follow‐ing table describes.

Starting the Uninstallation ProgramThe method you use to start the uninstallation program depends on your operatingsystem: Windows or UNIX.

On UNIX operating systems, go to the ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin directory and enter com‐mand ./deinstall.sh.

On Windows operating systems, use a file manager window to go to the ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin directory and double click on deinstall.cmd.

Distribution to UninstallThe installer shows the Distribution to Uninstall screen only if it detects more than onedistribution in the Oracle home that you start the program from.

Select the distribution you want to uninstall from the drop-down list, then click Unin‐stall.

Beneath the drop-down list are the contents of the selected distribution, so you canverify that you are choosing to remove the correct distribution.

Navigating the Uninstallation ScreensThe uninstallation program shows a series of screens in the order that the following ta‐ble describes.

If you need additional help with any uninstallation screen, click the screen name.

Table 5-2 (Cont.) Uninstall Screens and Descriptions

Screen Description

Uninstallation Summary Shows the Oracle home directory and its contents that will be un‐installed. Verify that this is the correct directory.

Click Deinstall to begin removing the software.

Uninstallation Progress Shows the progress of the uninstallation.

Uninstallation Complete Opens when the uninstallation is complete. Review the informa‐tion on this screen then click Finish to dismiss the uninstaller.

Removing the Oracle Home Directory ManuallyAfter the uninstaller finishes, you must manually remove your Oracle home directoryand any existing sub-directories that the uninstaller did not remove.

For example, if your Oracle home directory was /home/Oracle/Products/Oracle_Homeon a UNIX operating system:

cd /home/Oracle/Productsrm -rf Oracle_Home

On a Windows operating system, if your Oracle home directory was C:\Oracle\Prod-ucts\Oracle_Home, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Prod-ucts directory, then right-click on the Oracle_Home folder and select Delete.

Removing Program Shortcuts on Windows Operating SystemsOn Windows operating systems, you must also manually remove the program shortcuts; the uninstaller does not remove them for you.

Go to the C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle\Ora-cle Home\Product directory. If you only have one product installed in your Oraclehome, you can remove the Oracle Home directory. If you have multiple products instal‐led in your Oracle home, you must remove all products before removing the OracleHome.

Removing Your Domain and Application DataIf you will no longer use domain and application files, you can remove them.

To remove your domain and application data:

1. Manually remove your Domain home directory.

For example, if your Domain home directory was /home/Oracle/config/domains/infra_domain on a UNIX operating system:

cd /home/Oracle/config/domainsrm -rf infra_domain

On a Windows operating system, if your Domain home directory was C:\Oracle\Config\domains\infra_domain, use a file manager window and navigate to the


5-4

C:\Oracle\Config\domains directory, then right-click on the infra_domain folderand select Delete.

2. Manually remove your Application home directory.

For example, if your Application home directory was /home/Oracle/config/applications/infra_domain on a UNIX operating system:

cd /home/Oracle/config/applicationsrm -rf infra_domain

On a Windows operating system, if your Application home directory was C:\Ora-cle\Config\applications\infra_domain, use a file manager window and navi‐gate to the C:\Oracle\Config\applications directory, then right-click on the in-fra_domain folder and select Delete.

3. Backup the domain_registry.xml file in your Oracle home, then edit the file andremove the line associated with the domain you are removing. For example, to re‐move the infra_domain, find the following line and remove it:

<domain location="/home/Oracle/config/domains/infra_domain"/>

Save and exit the file when you are finished.

Reinstalling the SoftwareYou can reinstall your software into the same Oracle home as a previous installationonly if you have uninstalled the software by following the deinstallation instructions, in‐cluding manually removing the Oracle home directory.

When you reinstall, you can then specify the same Oracle home as your previous in‐stallation.

Consider the following cases where the Oracle home is not empty:

• Scenario: Installing in an Existing Oracle Home that Contains the Same FeatureSetsThe installer warns you that the Oracle home you specified during the installationalready contains the same software you are trying to install.

• Scenario: Installing in an Existing, Non-Empty Oracle HomeSuppose that you have chosen to create your Domain home or Application homesomewhere inside your existing Oracle home.

Scenario: Installing in an Existing Oracle Home that Contains theSame Feature Sets

The installer warns you that the Oracle home you specified during the installation al‐ready contains the same software you are trying to install.

Your options:

• Select a different installation type. In this case, only feature sets that don't alreadyexist in the Oracle home directory get installed.

• Select a different Oracle home directory.

Chapter 5Reinstalling the Software

5-5

Scenario: Installing in an Existing, Non-Empty Oracle HomeSuppose that you have chosen to create your Domain home or Application homesomewhere inside your existing Oracle home.

The deinstallation process doesn’t remove this data, so if you attempt to reinstall intothe same Oracle home, the installer does not allow it.

Your options:

• Deinstall your software from the Oracle home as this topic describes, and then re‐move the Oracle home directory. After this is complete, you can reinstall and reusethe same Oracle home location, using the instructions in Installing the Infrastruc‐ture Software. You will need to re-create any domain or application data that wasin the Oracle home.

• Select a different Oracle home directory.

CoherenceProduct Files

Coherence provides replicated and distributed (partitioned) data managementand caching services on top of a reliable, highly scalable peer-to-peer cluster‐ing protocol. Coherence has no single points of failure; it automatically andtransparently fails over and redistributes its clustered data management serv‐ices when a server becomes inoperative or is disconnected from the network.When a new server is added, or when a failed server is restarted, it automati‐cally joins the cluster and Coherence fails back services to it, transparently re‐distributing the cluster load. Coherence includes network-level fault tolerancefeatures and transparent soft re-start capability to enable servers to self-heal.

Web 2.0 HTTPPub-Sub Serv‐er

A channels based publish-subscribe mechanism for Web-based clients tosend and receive asynchronous messages over HTTP. Web clients can usethe HTTP Publish-Subscribe server to subscribe to channels (a representationin Bayeux for destinations) and publish messages to the channels.

BUpdating the JDK After Installing and Con‐figuring an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareProduct

Consider that you have a JDK version jdk1.8.0_121 installed on your machine. Whenyou install and configure an Oracle Fusion Middleware product, the utilities, such asConfiguration Wizard (config.sh|exe), OPatch, or RCU point to a default JDK, for ex‐ample, jdk1.8.0_121. After some time, Oracle releases a new version of the JDK, sayjdk1.8.0_131 that carries security enhancements and bug fixes.From 12c (12.2.1.3.0) onwards, you can upgrade the existing JDK to a newer version,and can have the complete product stack point to the newer version of the JDK.

You can maintain multiple versions of JDK and switch to the required version on needbasis.

• About Updating the JDK Location After Installing an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareProductThe binaries and other metadata and utility scripts in the Oracle home and Domainhome, such as RCU or Configuration Wizard, use a JDK version that was usedwhile installing the software and continue to refer to the same version of the JDK.The JDK path is stored in a variable called JAVA_HOME which is centrally locatedin .globalEnv.properties file inside the ORACLE_HOME/oui directory.

About Updating the JDK Location After Installing an OracleFusion Middleware Product

The binaries and other metadata and utility scripts in the Oracle home and Domainhome, such as RCU or Configuration Wizard, use a JDK version that was used whileinstalling the software and continue to refer to the same version of the JDK. The JDKpath is stored in a variable called JAVA_HOME which is centrally located in .global‐Env.properties file inside the ORACLE_HOME/oui directory.

The utility scripts such as config.sh|cmd, launch.sh, or opatch reside in the ORA‐CLE_HOME, and when you invoke them, they refer to the JAVA_HOME variable locat‐ed in .globalEnv.properties file. To point these scripts and utilities to the newer versionof JDK, you must update the value of the JAVA_HOME variable in the .global‐Env.properties file by following the directions listed in Updating the JDK Location in anExisting Oracle Home .

To make the scripts and files in your Domain home directory point to the newer versionof the JDK, you can follow one of the following approaches:

• Specify the path to the newer JDK on the Domain Mode and JDK screen whilerunning the Configuration Wizard.

For example, consider that you installed Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructurewith the JDK version 8u121. So while configuring the WebLogic domain with theConfiguration Assistant, you can select the path to the newer JDK on the Domain

B-1

Mode and JDK screen of the Configuration Wizard. Example: /scratch/jdk/jdk1.8.0_131.

• Manually locate the files that have references to the JDK using grep (UNIX) orfindstr (Windows) commands and update each reference. See Updating theJDK Location in an Existing Domain Home.

Note:

If you install the newer version of the JDK in the same location as the exist‐ing JDK by overwriting the files, then you don’t need to take any action.

• Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Oracle HomeThe getProperty.sh|cmd script displays the value of a variable, such asJAVA_HOME, from the .globalEnv.properties file. The setProperty.sh|cmd scriptis used to set the value of variables, such as OLD_JAVA_HOME or JAVA_HOMEthat contain the locations of old and new JDKs in the .globalEnv.properties file.

• Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Domain HomeYou must search the references to the current JDK, for example jdk1.8.0_121manually, and replace those instances with the location of the new JDK.

Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Oracle HomeThe getProperty.sh|cmd script displays the value of a variable, such asJAVA_HOME, from the .globalEnv.properties file. The setProperty.sh|cmd script isused to set the value of variables, such as OLD_JAVA_HOME or JAVA_HOME thatcontain the locations of old and new JDKs in the .globalEnv.properties file.

The getProperty.sh|cmd and setProperty.sh|cmd scripts are located in the followinglocation:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\binWhere, ORACLE_HOME is the directory that contains the products using the currentversion of the JDK, such as jdk1.8.0_121.

To update the JDK location in the .globalEnv.properties file:

1. Use the getProperty.sh|cmd script to display the path of the current JDK from theJAVA_HOME variable. For example:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/getProperty.sh JAVA_HOME(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\getProperty.cmd JAVA_HOMEecho JAVA_HOMEWhere JAVA_HOME is the variable in the .globalEnv.properties file that containsthe location of the JDK.

2. Back up the path of the current JDK to another variable such asOLD_JAVA_HOME in the .globalEnv.properties file by entering the following com‐mands:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/setProperty.sh -name OLD_JAVA_HOME-value specify_the_path_of_current_JDK(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\setProperty.cmd -nameOLD_JAVA_HOME -value specify_the_path_of_current_JDK

Appendix BAbout Updating the JDK Location After Installing an Oracle Fusion Middleware Product

B-2

This command creates a new variable called OLD_JAVA_HOME in the .global‐Env.properties file, with a value that you have specified.

3. Set the new location of the JDK in the JAVA_HOME variable of the .global‐Env.properties file, by entering the following commands:

(UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/setProperty.sh -name JAVA_HOME -value specify_the_location_of_new_JDK(Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\setProperty.cmd -name JAVA_HOME-value specify_the_location_of_new_JDK

After you run this command, the JAVA_HOME variable in the .globalEnv.proper‐ties file now contains the path to the new JDK, such as jdk1.8.0_131.

Updating the JDK Location in an Existing Domain HomeYou must search the references to the current JDK, for example jdk1.8.0_121 manual‐ly, and replace those instances with the location of the new JDK.

You can use the grep (UNIX) or findstr (Windows) commands to search for thejdk-related references.

You’ll likely be required to update the location of JDK in the following three files:

(UNIX) DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setNMJavaHome.sh(Windows) DOMAIN_HOME\bin\setNMJavaHome.cmd

(UNIX) DOMAIN_HOME/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties(Windows) DOMAIN_HOME\nodemanager\nodemanager.properties

(UNIX) DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh(Windows) DOMAIN_HOME\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
