Installing Oracle SOA Suite 12c Quick Start Distribution


A week ago, Oracle released Oracle SOA Suite 12c. In this blog I will show how easy it is to create a SOA Suite development environment.

The Oracle SOA Suite 12c Quick Start distributions allow you to quickly install a development or evaluation environment on a single host computer. It only takes a couple of minutes to set it up.

Before starting the installation, make sure that you have a working Java Development Kit (JDK) environment.  At the moment Oracle Fusion Middleware products require JDK7.0 Update 55 or later.

Obtain the Product Distribution

Download the Oracle Event Processing from here.

Find the fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soaqs_Disk1_1of1.zip, download it onto your system and extract it.

15. Click OK to launch the integrated server. This will take several minutes.

You can track the server’s launch in the Messages window pane. This window should automatically open at the bottom of the JDeveloper screen. If it is not there, you can open it by selecting Window from the top bar menu and Log from the drop-down menu.

When you see the following messages appear in the log, the Integrated WebLogic Server has launched successfully.
