Using the Standard Installation Topology as a Starting PointThe standard installation topology is a flexible topology that you can use as astarting point in production environments. About Insight Integration with Oracle Service BusYou can configure an Oracle Real-Time Integration Business Insight (Insight)agent with Oracle Service Bus to collect metrics. About Secondary TopologiesSecondary topologies include configurations with components that requireadditional installation or configuration steps on top of the standard topology. Using This Document to Extend an Existing DomainThe procedures in this guide describe how to create a new domain. Theassumption is that no other Oracle Fusion Middleware products are installed onyour system.Using the Standard Installation Topology as a Starting PointThe standard installation topology is a flexible topology that you can use as a startingpoint in production environments.The information in this guide helps you to create a standard installation topology forOracle Service Bus. If required, you can later extend the standard installation topologyto create a secure and highly available production environment, see Next Steps AfterConfiguring the Domain.The standard installation topology represents a sample topology for this product. It isnot the only topology that this product supports. See About the Standard InstallationTopology in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware. About the Oracle Service Bus Standard Installation TopologyThis topology represents a standard WebLogic Server domain that contains anAdministration Server and one or more clusters containing one or more ManagedServers.

2Preparing to Install and Configure OracleService BusTo prepare for your Oracle Service Bus installation, verify that your system meets thebasic requirements, then obtain the correct installation software. Roadmap for Installing and Configuring a Standard Installation TopologyThis roadmap provides the steps required to install and configure a standardOracle Service Bus installation topology. Roadmap for Verifying Your System EnvironmentBefore you begin the installation and configuration process, you must verify yoursystem environment. About Product DistributionsYou create the initial Oracle Service Bus domain using the Oracle FusionMiddleware Infrastructure distribution, which contains both Oracle WebLogicServer software and Oracle Java Required Files (JRF) software. Obtaining the Product DistributionYou can obtain the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle ServiceBus distribution on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).Roadmap for Installing and Configuring a StandardInstallation TopologyThis roadmap provides the steps required to install and configure a standard OracleService Bus installation topology.Table 2-1 provides the high-level steps required for installing a standard installationtopology.Table 2-1Standard Installation RoadmapTaskDescriptionDocumentationVerify your systemenvironment.Before you begin the installation,See Roadmap for Verifying Your System Environment.verify that the minimum systemand network requirements are met.Check for anymandatory patchesthat are requiredbefore theinstallation.Review the Oracle FusionSee Install and Configure in Release Notes for OracleMiddleware Infrastructure release Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.notes to see if there are anymandatory patches required for thesoftware products that you areinstalling.Obtain theappropriatedistributions.Obtain the Oracle FusionMiddleware Infrastructure andOracle Service Bus distributions.See About Product Distributions.2-1

Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability RequirementsOracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirementsdocuments with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirementsfor installation. Selecting an Installation UserThe user who installs and configures your system must have the requiredpermissions and privileges. Understanding Directories for Installation and ConfigurationDuring the installation and domain configuration process, you must plan onproviding the locations for these directories: Oracle home, Domain home, and theApplication home. Understanding JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware InstallationMost Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions donot include a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certifiedJDK already installed on your system. Understanding Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion MiddlewareInstallationMany Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior toconfiguration. If you do not already have a database where you can install theseschemas, you must install and configure a certified database.Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability RequirementsOracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirementsdocuments with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements forinstallation.1.Verifying that your environment meets certification requirements:Make sure that you install your product on a supported hardware and softwareconfiguration. See the certification document for your release on the Oracle FusionMiddleware Supported System Configurations page.Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certifiedsystems and environments. Whenever new certifications are released, they are2-3

Chapter 2Roadmap for Verifying Your System Environmentadded to the certification document right away. New certifications can be releasedat any time. Therefore, the certification documents are kept outside thedocumentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.2.Using the system requirements document to verify certification:Oracle recommends that you use the Oracle Fusion Middleware SystemRequirements and Specifications document to verify that the certificationrequirements are met. For example, if the certification document indicates thatyour product is certified for installation on 64-Bit Oracle Linux 6.5, use thisdocument to verify that your system meets the required minimum specifications.These include disk space, available memory, specific platform packages andpatches, and other operating system-specific requirements. System requirementscan change in the future. Therefore, the system requirement documents are keptoutside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle TechnologyNetwork.3.Verifying interoperability among multiple products:To learn how to install and run multiple Fusion Middleware products from the samerelease or mixed releases with each other, see Oracle Fusion Middleware 12cInteroperability and Compatibility in Understanding Interoperability andCompatibility.Selecting an Installation UserThe user who installs and configures your system must have the required permissionsand privileges. About User PermissionsThe user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certainpermissions on the files. Understanding Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating SystemsChanging the default permissions setting reduces the security of the installationand possibly your system. Oracle does not recommend changing defaultpermission settings. Verifying that the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on WindowsOperating SystemsTo update the Windows Registry, you must have administrator privileges.About User PermissionsThe user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certainpermissions on the files. Read and write permissions on all non-executable files (forexample, .jar, .properties, or .xml). All other users in the same group as the fileowner have read permissions only. Read, write, and execute permissions on all executable files (forexample, .exe, .sh, or .cmd). All other users in the same group as the file ownerhave read and execute permissions only.This means that someone other than the person who installs the software can use theinstalled binaries in the Oracle home directory to configure a domain or set of FusionMiddleware products.2-4

Chapter 2Roadmap for Verifying Your System EnvironmentDuring configuration, the files generated by the configuration process are owned bythe user who ran the Configuration Wizard. This user has the same permissions asdescribed above for the installation user. However, security-sensitive files are notcreated with group permissions. Only the user that created the domain has read andwrite permissions and can administer the domain.Consider the following examples: Example 1: A Single User Installs the Software and Configures the DomainThis example explains the file permissions where the same user installs thesoftware and configures the domain.To ensure proper permissions and privileges for all files, Oracle recommends thatthe same owner perform both tasks: install the Oracle Fusion Middleware productand configure the WebLogic Server domain by using the Configuration Wizard.Figure 2-1 Directory Structure when a Single User Installs the Software andConfigures the DomainhomeoracleproductOracle Home(Oracle Home)configDomain Home(domains)Application Home(applications)The Oracle home is created by User1 during productinstallation. User1 has read/write/execute permissionson all executable files, and read/write permissions on allother files. All other users in User1’s group haveread/execute permissions on all executable files, andread permissions on all other files.The Domain home and Application home are created byUser1 during product installation. User1 hasread/write/execute permissions on all executable files,and read/write permissions on all other files. All otherusers in User1’s group have read/execute permissionson all executable files, and read permissions on allother files.If the user who creates the domain is different than the user who installed thesoftware, then both users must have the same privileges, as shown in the nextexample. Example 2: The Oracle Home Directory and Domain are Created by DifferentUsersThis example explains the file permissions where one user creates the Oraclehome and another user configures the domain.2-5
