Automate WebLogic Installation and Configuration

by René van Wijk under Deploy, NodeManager, WLST

In this post, we will show how to create automation scripts in order to set-up middleware environments.

Preparation

As an example, we will use the Oracle Service Bus. In the example, we will use the following software

First, we have to decide how the directory structure will look, for example

/home/osb
	/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0 (created during the installation of JRockit)
	/oraInventory (created during the installation of Oracle Service Bus)
	/osb11.1.1.6
		/installation (directory which will contain all the software)
			/coherence_3.7 (created during the installation of WebLogic Server)
			/oracle_common (created during the installation of Oracle Service Bus)
			/oracle_service_bus (created during the installation of Oracle Service Bus)
			/wlserver_10.3 (created during the installation of WebLogic Server)
		/configuration
			/applications
				/osb_domain (created during the configuration of Oracle Service Bus)
			/domains
				/osb_domain (created during the configuration of Oracle Service Bus)
			/nodemanagers
				/osb_domain (created during the configuration of Oracle Service Bus)
		/scripts
			/configuration
			/installation
			/lifecycle (start and stop scripts)

Installation

To silent install JRockit, we need the following XML file

<domain-template-descriptor>
	<input-fields>
		<!-- Installation directory -->
		<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="/home/osb/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0"/>
		<!-- Optional installation of Demos and Samples -->
		<data-value name="INSTALL_DEMOS_AND_SAMPLES" value="false"/>
		<!-- Optional installation of Source Code -->
		<data-value name="INSTALL_SOURCE_CODE" value="false"/>
	</input-fields>
</domain-template-descriptor>

To silent install WebLogic, we need the following XML file

<bea-installer>
	<input-fields>
		<!-- BEAHOME: The full path for the middleware home directory. -->
		<data-value name="BEAHOME" value="/home/osb/osb11.1.1.6/installation"/>
		<!-- WLS_INSTALL_DIR: The full path for the directory where to install WebLogic Server. -->
		<data-value name="WLS_INSTALL_DIR" value="/home/osb/osb11.1.1.6/installation/wlserver_10.3"/>
		<!-- OCP_INSTALL_DIR: The full path for the directory where to install Coherence. -->
		<data-value name="OCP_INSTALL_DIR" value="/home/osb/osb11.1.1.6/installation/coherence_3.7"/>
		<!-- COMPONENT_PATHS: Specify the components and subcomponents to install. -->
		<data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS" value="WebLogic Server/Core Application Server|WebLogic Server/Administration Console|WebLogic Server/Configuration Wizard and Upgrade Framework|WebLogic Server/Web 2.0 HTTP Pub-Sub Server|WebLogic Server/WebLogic JDBC Drivers|WebLogic Server/Third Party JDBC Drivers|WebLogic Server/WebLogic Server Clients|WebLogic Server/WebLogic Web Server Plugins|WebLogic Server/UDDI and Xquery Support|Oracle Coherence/Coherence Product Files"/>
		<!-- INSTALL_NODE_MANAGER_SERVICE: Install Node Manager as a Windows service. -->
		<data-value name="INSTALL_NODE_MANAGER_SERVICE" value="no"/>
		<!-- LOCAL_JVMS: Select JVMs which are already installed. -->
		<data-value name="LOCAL_JVMS" value="/home/osb/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0"/>
	</input-fields>
</bea-installer>

Note that the XML files, reflect our directory structure.

As we are testing this (installing and configuring the Oracle Service Bus) on Redhat-CentOS, we have to make sure that a right entry is added to the refhost.xml (located in the Disk1/stage/prereq/linux64 directory, which is created after the Oracle Service Bus software is unzipped), for example,

<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
	<VERSION VALUE="CentOS"/>
	<ARCHITECTURE VALUE="x86_64"/>
    <NAME VALUE="Linux"/>
	<VENDOR VALUE="redhat"/>
	<GLIBC ATLEAST="2.12-1.7.el6"></GLIBC>

	</KERNEL>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>

Note that this is based on the VENDOR VALUE="oracle" and VERSION VALUE="6" entry. When running on RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.3 an entry has to be added as well. The certification matrix states that RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.3 is supported, i.e., OSB 11.1.1.5+, x64 (only 64-bits), RedHatEL6(UL1+), JRockit Update 29 R28.2.0+. RedHat CentOS is not supported.

Make sure the packages mentioned above are installed on the system. By using yum, the packages can be installed, i.e., yum install ${NAME}-${VERSION}.${ARCHITECTURE}, for example, yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686.

To silent install the Oracle Service Bus, we first have to create a response file. To this end run the installer in graphical mode, i.e., execute ./runInstaller -jreLoc /home/osb/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0 in the Disk1 directory.

When this is the first time the installer is started, the specify inventory screen will pop-up. Enter an inventory directory and an operating system group name and click ok. Next execute ${INVENTORY_HOME}/createCentralInventory.sh as root and click ok in the pop-up.
The welcome screen is shown, click next.
Select skip software updates and click next.
Enter the following parameters:
- Oracle Middleware Home: /home/osb/osb11.1.1.6/installation
- Oracle Home Directory: oracle_service_bus
Click next.
Select custom in the installation type screen, and click next.
De-select, oracle service bus IDE and oracle service bus examples, and click next.
Prerequisite checks are run, click next when they finish successfully.
Enter the following parameters:
- WebLogic Server Location: /home/osb/osb11.1.1.6/installation/wlserver_10.3
Click next.
Installation summary is shown, click save to save the response file.
Click install, click next when finished and click finish.

The resulting response file looks as follows

The installation of Oracle AS Common Toplevel Component, Oracle Service Bus completed successfully.

We could refine the functions in the script, such that the software is copied, unzipped (when necessary), and deleted, for example,

unzip -q ${SOFTWARE_LOCATION}/ofm_osb_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip -d ${SOFTWARE_DIRECTORY}/OSB
cp ${SOFTWARE_LOCATION}/refhost.xml ${SOFTWARE_DIRECTORY}/OSB/Disk1/stage/prereq/linux64

rm -Rf ${SOFTWARE_DIRECTORY}/OSB

Next, the node manager must be enrolled. This can be accomplished by using the following WLST script

import socket;
admin_server_listen_address = socket.gethostname();
admin_server_url = 't3://' + admin_server_listen_address + ':' + admin_server_listen_port;

print 'START ADMIN SERVER, AND DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE EXECEPTIONS';
startServer(admin_server_name, domain_name, admin_server_url, admin_username, admin_password, domain_home);

print 'CONNECT TO ADMIN SERVER';
connect(admin_username, admin_password, admin_server_url);

print 'ENROLL NODE MANAGER AND CREATE NODEMANAGER.DOMAINS';
nmEnroll(domain_home,node_manager_home);

print 'SHUTDOWN ADMIN SERVER';
shutdown('AdminServer','Server','true',1000,'true');

which can be run by using

#!/bin/sh

SCRIPT=$(readlink -f $0)
SCRIPT_PATH=$(dirname $SCRIPT)

. ${SCRIPT_PATH}/SetEnvironmentVariables.sh

${MIDDLEWARE_HOME}/common/bin/wlst.sh -loadProperties ${SCRIPT_PATH}/environment.properties ${SCRIPT_PATH}/enroll_node_manager.py

When this script is run the following output is observed

WLST lost connection to the WebLogic Server that you were
connected to, this may happen if the server was shutdown or
partitioned. You will have to re-connect to the server once the
server is available.
Disconnected from weblogic server: AdminServer
Disconnected from weblogic server:

Enrolling the node manager is to prevent the java.io.IOException: Read did not get bytes, but bytes are available. Another vague exception weblogic.ldap.EmbeddedLDAPException: Unable to open initial replica url can be prevented by making sure the hostnames between machines, managed servers and confgured host files and DNS correspond.

Lifecycle

Start and stop scripts are presented in the WLST Starting and Stopping a WebLogic Environment post.
