In this post I will document my experience of installing Oracle SOA Suite on Windows XP. No I am not switching and I’m still a Microsoft developer by heart. But I do feel that for me to improve my craft I must also understand how things are done in other camps such as Oracle, SUN, IBM etc.
The version I installed is Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.10 and I decided to do a basic installation which installs Oracle Lite database as opposed to a full blown Oracle database. You can think of Oracle Lite as similar to SQL Server Express.
Installation can be started by clicking setup.exe after extracting all files form the downloaded zip. Setup.exe will conduct a quick check to see that right amount of disk space is available. After this the installation wizard starts.
Screen 1
This screen allows me to make a choice between a Basic Install or Advance Install and supply a name for my Oracle Application Server and passwords for admin account. Note that you cannot change the admin user name and database type will be Oracle OLite. Next thing is to click on Install button.
Screen 2
The wizard at this stage will happily go and install the software. This screen shows that my installation is at 74%.
Error Mesage
At almost 99% the installer may throw an error.
I just clicked okay few times and the error went away. The installer continued fine after that.
Screen 3
This screen shows that the installer is configuring required components which are required for applications in the suite.
Screen 4
This final screen tells me that the installation was successful. Hurray!
After clicking exit, the start page for Oracle Suite appears.
Conclusion
Overall experience of installing Oracle SOA Suite on WindowsXP is pleasant. The installer other than a minor hitch does a good job without nagging you with too many questions.
Now that I have the suite installed, I’ll play with it a bit more and post my learning experiences here.
