Enterprise 2.0 Blog: WebCenter Sites 11.1.1.8.0 Delivery Server on Weblogic Server

I have created a Development WebCenter sites VM on Tomcat Application server and the installation and configuration steps are given here.

Now, for the better performance, it is advisable to create WebCenter Sites Delivery VM on Weblogic Server. This VM is already created with Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.9, JDK 1.7.0.79 and Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.4. Below are the steps for installing Weblogic and WebCenter Sites.

Weblogic Installation

Detailed steps are given the here. The same is replicated here.

Create the below directories for MIDDDLEWARE_HOME using oracle user in the system.

[oracle@wcsites11g ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g

[oracle@wcsites11g ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/config/domains

[oracle@wcsites11g ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/config/applications

Add the MW_HOME, WLS_HOME and WL_HOME environment variables in bash_profile before Weblogic installation.

[oracle@wcsites11g ~]$ cd ~

[oracle@wcsites11g ~]$ vi .bash_profile

Add the below entries,

export MW_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g
export WLS_HOME=$MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3
export WL_HOME=$WLS_HOME

Below are the database scripts for creating the user for WebCenter Sites Installation

DROP USER CSUSER CASCADE;

CREATE USER CSUSER IDENTIFIED BY welcome1 DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP;

GRANT CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE SESSION, UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO CSUSER;

commit;

Install the Weblogic Server.

Create the Weblogic Domain

Edit setDomainEnv.sh to update the JAVA Heap variables to get better performance.

if [ "${JAVA_VENDOR}" = "Sun" ] ; then

WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT="-Xms512m -Xmx2048m"

export WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT

WLS_MEM_ARGS_32BIT="-Xms512m -Xmx2048m"

export WLS_MEM_ARGS_32BIT

else

WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT="-Xms512m -Xmx2048m"

export WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT

WLS_MEM_ARGS_32BIT="-Xms512m -Xmx2048m"

export WLS_MEM_ARGS_32BIT

MEM_PERM_SIZE_64BIT="-XX:PermSize=256m"

export MEM_PERM_SIZE_64BIT

MEM_PERM_SIZE_32BIT="-XX:PermSize=256m"

export MEM_PERM_SIZE_32BIT

Start the Admin Server

$cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/user_projects/domain/wcs_domain/bin

$./startWebLogic.sh

Open the Admin Console

Create the Datasource.

Stop Admin Server

$cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/user_projects/domain/wcs_domain/bin

$./stopWebLogic.sh

Create boot.properties and update username and password

$cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/user_projects/domain/wcs_domain/servers/AdminServer/

$mkdir security

$cd security

$vi boot.properties

username=weblogic

password=welcome1

Install WebCenter Sites

Edit startWebLogic.sh and add the below lines. Update the installation path with your installation path.

JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dnet.sf.ehcache.enableShutdownHook=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/user_projects/domains/wcs_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp -Djava.library.path=/u01/sites/bin ${JAVA_OPTIONS}"

CLASSPATH="/u01/sites/bin:$CLASSPATH"

PRE_CLASSPATH="/u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/user_projects/domains/wcs_domain/CS/WEB-INF/lib/commons-lang-2.4.jar:$PRE_CLASSPATH"

Start the Admin Server

$cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmw11g/user_projects/domain/wcs_domain/bin

$nohup ./startWebLogic.sh > AdminLogs.out &
