Steps are mentioned below
                                        Part A: Getting the Softwares

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/downloads/index.html

Note: You need to set this before running RCU in windows OS. Just right click on Mycomputer, go to Advanced and set the system and user variable and give value as TRUE

If you want to use Oracle XE as your database, you need to set the RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS environment variable to TRUE *prior* to running RCU.

Impact of not setting above: Your soa-infra would not come up when you start the soa-servers.
