I
came across many problems while installing Oracle SOA 11g Version, So
I though to write a step by step guide for others ( frankly for me
:-) )
The
memory Requirements are other essentials can be obtained from the
Oracle Web Site.
Here
are the necessary Packages that we need to start with ( may require
more that 3GB of the Disk Space for the Installation packages) since
we are installing in the Windows Xp machine
Oracle
Database 10g Express Edition: The SOA Suite requires a Data base for
storing data. The Express edition is best choice when we are doing
the development. Install OracleXEUniv.exe—recommended for a small
footprint database. We will use this for our development Purpose.
Web
Logic Server: Oracle SOA best Supported application Server which will
provide the JEE environment and also server which will run the SOA
suite application ( which is a J2ee application)
Download
the “Oracle Web Logic Server 11gR1 (10.3.1) - Package Installer”.
Repository
Creation Utility: RCU will help in laying the Data Base Schemas that
the SOA Suite Uses for all the Persistence tasks.
SOA
Suite: this is the actual JEE application that contains the SOA
engines and that will be deployed on WebLogic.
Choose
the “SOA Suite, Generic” package, its name is
ofm_soa_generic_11.1.1.1.0_disk1_1of1.zip and it is 1.5GB in size.
Installing
the OracleXEUniv

We

Install
Starts.
When
you are using XE, you will see a warning when you install the
database schema that this database version is too old. You can safely
ignore this warning as it applies only to production environments.
When
you are using Oracle XE, you must update database parameters if you
have never done this for your database installation. You only have to
do this once after installing. Set the processes parameter to >=200
using the following instructions.

Installing the soa , we need to provide the JRE location too. From
the DISK1 ( after we unzip the soa ) run the setup using
