Installing OSB 11.1.1.6 with OSB IDE on windows 7 64 bit

Installing OSB on windows 7 64 bit:
It is not very straight forward to install OSB server, OSB IDE ,weblogic on windows 7 64 bit. For 32 bit we get OEPE with weblogic which is quite easy to install, but on 64 bit you don't have OEPE with weblogic. You need to install weblogic separately then install OEPE . Here selecting the OEPE version is tricky. If weblogic version is 11.1.1.6 , it does not mean you have to select OEPE version of 11.1.1.6. It will not work. Infact the correct version of OEPE is 11.1.1.8. Now what about OSB? which version should be selected? OSB should be of version 11.1.1.6 . So in summary
weblogic: 11.1.1.6
OEPE: 11.1.1.8
OSB 11.1.1.6

Important points

1)Weblogic and OSB versions should be same if you want OSB IDE to be installed.
So weblogic is 11.1.1.4 , then OSB should be 11.1.1.4.
Incase if they don’t match then while installing OSB (from osb_generic_11.1.1.4) you may get error as “weblogic is not suited for this version of IDE” at step 4 (Typical/Custom step)

2)OEPE should be compatible with the OSB version.

Here are the list of compatible OEPE with OSB . There is no document for this though
OSB Weblogic Server OEPE
11.1.1.6.0 10.3.6 11.1.1.8.0
11.1.1.5.0 10.3.5 11.1.1.7.2
11.1.1.4.0 10.3.4 11.1.1.6.1
11.1.1.3.0 10.3.3 11.1.1.5


STEP1: Install JDK
Install JDK (Jrockit can be preferred)
jrockit-jdk1.6.0_26-R28.1.4-4.0.1-windows-x64(1) should be installed .Always prefer Jrockit over JDK as Jrocking has very good performance

STEP2: Install Weblogic

1. Open a terminal and go to the folder where wls1036_generic file is.
2. Execute the following command:
Double click on the file
3. When the oracle weblogic installer starts, click next and enter the folder you want to use as Middleware Home Directory, for example:
E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116
4. Choose the typical installation (or customise if you need). Better to select customize as you can install examples also
5. On the JDK installer screen, the installer should automatically recognise the JDK installed during step 1. If not, click on “Browse” button and point to JDK directory (e.g. /jrocking).
6. Finish the installation.

STEP 3 – Install Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
Download from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/index.html
Just extract the oepe-indigo-all-in-one-11.1.1.8.0.201110211138-win32-x86_64
content into a folder named “oepe” in you middleware home directory, for example:
E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\oepe-indigo11.1.1.8.0_64

STEP 4 – Install OSB

Download from :http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/service-bus/downloads/index.html
1. Extract the downloaded zip file (ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1) into a any folder. Go to that “Disk 1” directory under the extracted folder and run the following command:
E:\softwares\OSB\ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1\Disk1>setup -jreLoc E:\InstalledSoftwares\jrockit
2. we have provided the JDK location in the above command
3. During the rest of the installation used the settings below
Installation location:
Oracle Middleware Home :E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\
Oracle Home Directory: Oracle_OSB1
Installation Type: Custom (ensure that ORACLE BUS IDE is selected).
Note the following in “Typical”. If the version is not matched it would say weblogic version is not compatible with OSB IDE. Then in “CUSTOM” you won’t be able to select the ORACLE BUS IDE. This means that weblogic which is selected is of different version say 11.1.1.4 and OSB_GENERIC is of different version say 11.1.1.6
Prerequisite Checks – This stage passes
Product Home Location:
Weblogic Server Location: / E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\wlserver_10.3
OEPE Location E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\oepe-indigo11.1.1.8.0_64

Note the following: The OEPE location is automatically taken. Suppose if OEPE version is not compatible with OSB , then OEPE will not get recognized. You will get message as “OEPE” location is invalid even if you manually select the OEPE. So in this example OEPE should be 11.1.1.8 and OSB should be 11.1.1.6

Step5: Verify the OSB IDE
Check if OSB IDE has been installed or not
Open the eclipse ide from the below location
E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\oepe-indigo11.1.1.8.0_64
Set the workspace to any folder
Check the following
Window->open perspective->other->Oracle Service bus
You should be able to see the Oracle Service bus

Step6)Configuring the OSB SERVER or creating the domain
a) Go to E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\Oracle_OSB1\common\bin
b) Config.cmd
c) Select new domain creation.
d) Select the configuration as shown below so that we get OWSM,EM etc
e) give the domain name as osb_domain
f) Give username as weblogic/welcome1
g) Select development mode
h) Give the databse details for OWSM MDS schema(ignore the failure test) and OSB JMS reporting provider
i) Proceed to next step(by pass the DB connection if it asks),


Step 7)Access the sbconsole
Go to the following location:
E:\InstalledSoftwares\oracle\fmw11116\user_projects\domains\osb_domain
And type the following
startWeblogic.cmd
Now access the sbconsole
http//localhost:7001/sbconsole
enter weblogic/welcome1
you should be able the see the screen

Ya thats true, there is no documentation regarding the compatible version on Oracle site so it very confusing a newbie like me to find out the issue.....

This post has really helped...

Thank you Aleem, without people like you sharing your findings we would all be wasting a lot more time.

It is just crazy that something like installing the IDE for OSB that should be a straight forward exercise can take days to resolve installation issues

Installing WebLogic Server on 64-Bit Platforms Using 64-Bit JDK

If you are installing WebLogic Server on a 64-bit platform using a .jar installation program:

Include the -d64 flag in the installation command when using a 32/64-bit hybrid JDK (such as for the HP-PA, HPIA, and Solaris64 platforms. For example, if installing in graphical mode using the package installer:

java -d64 -jar wlsversion_generic.jar

Run the java -version command (or java -d64 -version command on platforms using a 32/64-bit hybrid JDK) to ensure that your JAVA_HOME refers to a 64-bit JDK.
