Installing AIA 11g on top of SOA Suite 11g

I have installed SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.5) as per Oracle Installation Guide. The installation is successful and SOA Suite 11g is working fine!
Now I need to installa AIA 11g.
1) Currently I have Oracle XE database. Do I need to uninstall it and install Oracle 11g DB?
2) If yes, do I need to uninstall SOA Suite and install it again after DB installation?
Please advise.
Thanks

Its always better to have Oracle 11g database, against XE database.
You dont need to uninstall the SOA 11g, just make sure you have the Compatible Oracle 11g database version, create the RCU, then you have to point all the JNDI which is available in SOA 11g to new database.
Check in metalink.oracle.com. You should get a note explaining, about how to change the RCU pointing.
Thanks,
Vijay

Install AIA 2.5 FP on SOA Suite 11g

Hi ,
Can we install AIA Foundation pack 2.5 on SOA Suite 11g?
Regards,
Sam

See the AIA certification at http://www.oracle.com/applications/aia-platform-certifications.pdf Full support of 11g with AIA Foundation Pack is targeted for the next release. 2.5 does allow you to deploy the EOL on 11g, but AIA runs on 10g.

*2) the JNDI location setting in the WebLogic JCA deployment descriptor has not been set to eis/Jms/AIA_ERROR_JMS. In the last case you might have to add a new 'connector-factory' entry (connection) to the deployment descriptor.*

Errors installing SOA Suite 11g

Good morning
This is an odd error. I am installing a brand new environment for SOA-SUITE 11g on a test database before going through the pain to complete this in our development environment. I am using RCU to build the environment as instructed and am allowing RCU to handle everything but constructing the schemas. I have created the schemas manually via SQL*Plus.
This process has worked in the past so I'm at a loss for explaining these errors. In creating the SOAINFRA, I am receving the following errors:

Hi Stephen
"I am using RCU to build the environment as instructed and am allowing RCU to handle everything but constructing the schemas. I have created the schemas manually via SQL*Plus"
Do you mean you are not running RCU utility command from D:\rcuHome\bin\rcu.cmd folder ? As far as I know, this is the supported and easiest way to create any Schemas for any SOA Middleware product like SOA, BPM, OBIEE, ODI, WebCenter etc etc. I am not sure if directly running sql scripts will work and if its possible also.
I would prefer running rcu.cmd command and provide Database SYS username, password with db details like db host, port, sid. Incase if db credentials are secret and not given to you, simply ask that DB Adminstrator to run this RCU command. Just unzip this file and run rcu.cmd and provide all the details. This do NOT need any other thing at all. Its pretty straight forward.
RCU command takes care of all the things. Create tablespaces, schemas, then create all the stuff inicluding tables, sequeneces, packages and compile them also.
Finally if you use Oracle XE 10g Edition, run one line to set this value before you run rcu.cmd -> set RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS=TRUE

Oracle SOA Suite 11g VS BPEL PM 11g

Hello,
What is the difference between SOA Suite 11g and BPEL Process Manager 11g?
I understand BPEL PM is a component of SOA Suite 11g.
What capabilities does SOA Suite offer more than BPEL Process Manager 11g?
When does a customer choose BPEL PM 11g over SOA Suite 11g? I assume BPEL PM 11g will be less in terms of cost.
Thanks,
Ram

Ram,
What is the difference between SOA Suite 11g and BPEL Process Manager 11g?BPEL Process Manager 11g is a standalone product and it is part of SOA Suite 11g as well. SOA Suite 11g is actually a group of products and it includes -
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Oracle Service Bus
Mediator
Oracle Business Activity Monitoring
Oracle Web Services Manager
Oracle Business Rules
Oracle Human Workflow
Oracle Event Processing
JDeveloper and ADF
Adapters
Oracle Entitlements Server Basic
Oracle B2B
So you cannot compare SOA Suite with BPEL.
What capabilities does SOA Suite offer more than BPEL Process Manager 11g?Oracle BPEL Process Manager enables enterprises to model, deploy, and manage BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) processes. It includes a BPEL business process modeler, a scalable BPEL run-time engine, an extensible WSDL binding framework, and a monitoring console. So use of BPEL is limited till business process implementation only whereas SOA Suite offers complete middleware SOA solution.
When does a customer choose BPEL PM 11g over SOA Suite 11g? I assume BPEL PM 11g will be less in terms of cost.Yes, if you want to implement BPEL processes only then you can buy only BPEL Process Manager 11g but if you are looking for to implement a complete middleware SOA solution then licensing SOA Suite 11g will be the better option.

Anuj

Does license for SOA Suite 11g include application server

I am looking through the SOA 11g release information and it does not appear to include a license for the WebLogic server. Can anyone confirm that I need to license the appropriate WebLogic 11g base to run SOA Suite 11g on separately. I wish I could find a definitive statement about this on the Oracle web site or in documentation.

Good point. There used to be some (licensing) clarity in the sense that Oracle's middleware applications (i.e. things higher in the middleware food chain) required the underlying Oracle stack and thus the embedded license scenario.
Perhaps (and somewhat ironically) the situation gets more cloudy now that OFM is really and truly "hot pluggable" (i.e. in the sense you can run on other vendor or OSS containers for instance).
Architecturally, I respect Oracle's Hot Pluggable stance and think it's the right thing to do, but practically-speaking I always advise use of Oracle's container etc. because that is naturally where the development and most intense QA and support occurs. This is not to say that Oracle doesn't support other hosting options well, only that the laws of physics (still) apply.

I think that the error would be caused by the JDK version with which try to initializing.

Hi, I encourage you to try to use the generic installer at: %SOA_INSTALLER_DIR%/Disk1/runInstaller. Because if you are using the runInstaller at %SOA_INSTALLER_DIR%/Disk1/install/solaris it will lead to that problem in some cases.

SOA Suite 11g HA install and EDNDataSource problem

Hi all,
We have installed and configured Oracle SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.5) cluster per the instructions in the Enterprise Deployment Guide and Anthony Reynold's blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/reynolds/entry/installing_an_11g_soa_cluster). We are encountering constant XA and DBLocker related errors with the EDNDataSource:

These errors occur every couple of seconds on both SOA hosts. Additionally, we see errors on one of the hosts, complaining about EDNDataSource not being clusterable:

Such objects can only be deployed from one server.>
We have ensured that the database (we are using a single Oracle 11g database instance, not RAC) has XA support enabled. Beyond this, we haven't found any leads on this forum nor the Oracle support site (we have opened an SR with Oracle). I've seen a couple of other threads related to this issue over the last year (e.g., Re: JTA - XA Rources - Rollbacks reason and What is the purpose of EDNDataSource in SOA 11g? but no resolution was ever posted.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where to being looking to troubleshoot this issue? Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks,

How are you starting the server? Using start script - ./startManagedWebLogic.sh soa_server1? Make sure that classpath is getting set properly.Yes, after using the script to start the admin server.
How do I make sure the classpath is getting set properly? Seems to be the actual problem, but from the logs when the server starts up the command seems correct from what I can see. If I knew which jars contained the classes it needed I could try and look for them in the start command.
11g is not certified on Ubuntu. Please refer below link for certification matrix -I actually wished Oracle could certify the installers for Mac OSX (just for development), but I guess I could try and get things up on Redhat instead. :P
Thanks for the input.

Jvedeloper 11gR1 not starting anymore after SOA suite 11g Install

I have/had a working setup on my Server 2008.
Weblogic 10.3
MDM 2.0
OUAF 4.2
Jdeveloper 11g
Oracle DB 11g
Now for some testing I needed to install SOA Suite 11g. After done so Jdeveloper lets me choose the role but then never comes up. I see it in the task manager.
I assume SOA suite must have overridden some file that it needed.
Any ideas how I could get this back to working state?
Thank you,
Steve

11g which version..?? did u wait and see if it comes up.. which Os you are using.. usually the splash screen wont come up.. but the ide will popup after sometime..
chk this as well
Jdeveloper doesn't start after Weblogic upgrade.

Installing SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
I am an oracle apps developer and want to learn SOA. I would like to install SOA suite 11g on my windows 7 laptop, but i read an article on apps2fusion.com, saying that it would slow down terribly and may even corrupt Windows OS files.
Is that true and if so, how do install safely without any mess. This might be a basic qn but i couldnt find any good documentation online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the installation corrupting any Windows OS files. However, it will definately slow down your PC. If you're looking to do an installation that won't impact your ability to use Windows, I would download Oracle virtual box install an OS into VirtualBox, and then install SOA Suite into the VirtualBox. This will allow you to "turn-off" the soa suite and all of its always-on components like the database, when you don't need it.
Once you've downloaded virtualBox, install your favorite operating system in it. If you're using Windows 7 and want that to be the OS used inside of VirtualBox, you'll need a seperate key for it. However, there are a plethora of free Linux variant available. My favorite is CentOS.
Once you've installed an operating system into Oracle VB, then go ahead and download the appropriate files to install SOA Suite. Please be aware that installing SOA suite locally requires the installation of Weblogic, a local Oracle database (the single user database works fine), along with installing the entire SOA suite. Additionally, you'll also probably want to download and install SOAPUi which is a great tool to testing service endpoints.
To get it all running properly, you'll need a lot of RAM. Currently my toolset (running on Windows 7 Pro, not in Oracle VB) can use as many as 5.5 Gb (total including the OS). For the configuration above, I would suggest that amount be available to your VirtualBox in addition to whatever your OS need on the hosting system.
Alternatively, if you install the bigger components (Weblogic and the database) on a server, you can simply use them in your testing.
Please let me know if that helps.
