This article presents a brief overview of installing Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) 12cR2 (12.2.1) on Oracle Linux 6 and 7.
Related articles.
Assumptions
This article assumes you have an existing server (real or virtual) with either Oracle Linux 6.x or 7.x installed on it. For instruction on how to do this check out the following articles.
Java Jre 8u144
I picked the 'Desktop' option for the OL6 installation and the 'Server with GUI' option for OL7, so I would have a graphical interface without having to select separate package groups. Everything in the installation will be 64-bit.
Software
Download the Weblogic Server 12c software from Oracle Technology Network.
- Java Development Kit (I used 8u144 jdk-8u144-linux-x64.tar.gz)
- Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Installer (1.4G)
Remember, you will need the infrastructure version of WebLogic if you plan to do an Oracle Forms and Reports Services installation.
Setup
The following actions should be performed by the 'root' user.
Make sure the '/etc/hosts' file contains correct entries for both the 'localhost' and real host names.
Create a new group and user.
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
Append the following entries into the '/home/oracle/.bash_profile' file.
Jdk-8u144-windows-x32
Install the JDK.
For Oracle Linux 6, as specified in MOS Note [ID 1487773.1], amend the '/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf' file, making the following change.
Installation
The images were originally captured from a 12.2.1.0 installation. The process is the same for 12.2.1.2.
Run the installer as the 'oracle' user.
If this is is the first installation on the machine you will need to specify an inventory location. Enter the inventory location, like '/u01/app/oraInventory' and click the 'OK' button.
Click the 'Next' button on the welcome screen.
Select the 'Skip Auto Updates' options, then click the 'next' button.
Enter the middleware home ('/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.1') and click the 'Next' button.
Accept the 'Fusion Middleware Infrastructure' option by clicking the 'Next' button.
Wait for the prerequisite checks to complete. If there are failures, correct them and rerun the checks. If there are no failures, click the 'Next' button.
Either enter your support details, or uncheck the security updates checkbox. Click the 'Next' button. If you chose not to receive security updates, click the 'Yes' button on the warning dialog.
If you are happy with the summary information, click the 'Install' button.
Wait for the installation to complete, then click the 'Next' button.
On the installation complete screen, click the 'Finish' button to launch the Configuration Wizard.
If you are doing an installation for Oracle Forms and Reports Services, you don't need to create the domain at this point, so stop here.
Create Domain
Launch the Configuration Wizard with the following command.
Java 8 Update 144 64 Bit
Accept the 'Create a new domain' option, enter the domain name at the end of the 'Domain Location', then click the 'Next' button. In this case my domain was called 'mydomain', so the path I used was '/u01/app/oracle/config/domains/mydomain'.
Jdk 8u144 Windows X64
Select the required product template and click the 'Next' button.
Enter the administrator credentials and click the 'Next' button.
Enter the domain mode and JDK details, then click the 'Next' button.
Select any required advanced configuration options. For this example I ignored the advanced configuration. Click the 'Next' button.
If you are happy with the configuration summary screen, click the 'Create' button.
Jdk 8u144 Download
Once the domain is created, click the 'Next' button.
Make a note of the Admin Server URL and click the 'Finish' button.
Post-Installation
If you chose the 'Production Mode' options for the domain, you will need to create a 'boot.properties' file for the scripts referred to later to work without credentials. Adjust the DOMAIN_HOME and credentials appropriately.
The '$ORACLE_BASE/config/domains/mydomain' directory now contains a script that can be used to start the server. Remember to use the '&' if you want access to the commandline to be returned.
Once the server is started you can access the administrator console using the 'http://hostname:port/console' URL. Log in using the username and password provided in the previous step.
The following scripts are useful.
Patching WebLogic Server
Applying patches to WebLogic Server 12c is done using the OPatch utility. Make sure any processes running under this WebLogic installation are stopped before applying a patch.
Download the latest version of OPatch and the WebLogic updates from Oracle Support and put them into the '/u01/software' directory with the other software. For example.
- OPatch : p6880880_132000_Generic.zip *** See Note Below
- Updates : p22331568_122100_Generic.zip
At the time of writing, the latest version of OPatch (OUI NextGen 13.2) is older than the version of OPatch that ships with WebLogic Server 12.2.1.
Assuming a newer version of OPatch were available you would unzip the OPatch utility and add it to your path.
Since there isn't a newer version available at the time of writing, we will use the existing one.
Unzip the patch and change to the resulting directory, then apply the patch.
Answer any prompts and take appropriate action when required.
When the patch is complete, check the WebLogic version using the following command. Depending on the scale of the patch, the version may not have changed.

The BI Publisher WebLogic Server that is part of the Fusion Middleware infrastructure must be installed separately before the Oracle Fusion Middleware product. Prior to the 12c (12.2.1.2.0) release of BI Publisher, the Fusion Middleware product was part of the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite.
- Get the latest version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8 from the Oracle customer portal.
- Save the tar.gz file to the directory on your server where you want to install it.
- Login to your server as the root user.
- Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the tar.gz file.
- Extract the tar.gz file. For example:
- Add the following two lines to the /home/oracle/.bashrc file to permanently set the JAVA_HOME environment variable and set the java binary as part of the system PATH:
Note:
JAVA_HOME must be accessible to the oracle user. In the above example, the /opt directory must be accessible to the oracle user.
