Installing Oracle Web Center Spaces Rcu
Installing Oracle Web Center Spaces Rcu
Purpose
This tutorial covers installing and configuring Oracle WebCenter Spaces along with the bundled Oracle WebCenter Services and the optional Oracle Universal Content Management (UCM) in a Linux environment.
Time to Complete
Approximately 1.5 hours
Overview
WebCenter Spaces is an online environment that brings together an array of social networking, collaboration, and personal productivity tools. WebCenter Services is a complete set of complementary services that enables you to embed Web 2.0-style communication and collaboration services directly into WebCenter Spaces. The component applications for both WebCenter Spaces and WebCenter Services run on Oracle WebLogic Server and store their metadata in an Oracle database. UCM is an enterprise level content management platform.
Scenario
You are an Administrator who needs to install WebCenter Spaces in a Linux environment. You will run the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the required schemas in the database. Then you will create the necessary files in the file system by running the WebCenter Installer. You will install WebCenter Spaces, WebCenter Services, as well as the optional UCM. Next you will run the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard to create the WebCenter domain. WebCenter Spaces and WebCenter services are deployed to servers in this domain. In this scenario, you create a single node WebCenter domain and everything is installed on one machine. This would not be typical for a production installation but can work well for a development or test environment. In this scenario you are setting up for a development environment but apart from the single node domain and the startup mode of the WebLogic Server, the steps are essentially the same as for a production environment. Note: The screenshots will not reflect the specific environment you are using. Also product installer directories, installation directories, and the location of Middleware_Home may be different from the locations on your system.
Oracle Database 10g or 11g must be installed Oracle WebLogic Server 11g must be installed An HTTP server must be installed (required for UCM) Your system environment must meet the general installation requirements for Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle WebCenter, and RCU

1. In a new window, navigate to the Oracle_Common_Home/common/bin directory and set the Node Manager properties: $ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmwhome/oracle_common/common/bin $ ./setNMProps.sh You see the message Appending required nodemanager .properties. Note: If you are installing and older 11g version of WebCenter Spaces that does not include Patch Set 1 then the Node Manager file is located in WebCenter_Oracle_Home/common/bin. 2. Navigate to the WebLogic_Server_Home/server/bin directory and start the Node Manager: $ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/fmwhome/wlserver_10.3/server/bin $ ./startNodeManager.sh Wait until y ou see the message INFO: Secure socket listener started on port 5,556. Do not close this window as it will shut down the Node Manager.
Before you see the login window a message briefly appears indicating the application is being deployed for the console.

Note: The messages on the right of the window regarding the Worklist and Documents services being unavailable are because they are not configured yet. At this point WebCenter Spaces is installed and up and running but your work is not complete. You still need to configure the services you wish to use in WebCenter Spaces, for example, the Documents service (including UCM), the Worklist service, and the Discussions service. You may also wish to register portlet producers. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter 11g and the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter for more information.
