By default, the installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/logs directory on Linux operating systems.

In case of Windows operating systems, the installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs directory.

For a description of the log files and where to find them, see Installation Log Files in Installing Software with the Oracle Universal Installer.

See What Are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories? in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.

• Oracle JRF - 14.1.2.0.0 [oracle_common]

• WebLogic Coherence Cluster Extension - 14.1.2.0.0 [wlserver]

See Templates in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard for more information about options on this screen.

Oracle recommends that you locate your Application home in accordance with the directory structure in What Are the Key Oracle Fusion Middleware Directories? in Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware, where the Application home is located outside the Oracle home directory. This directory structure helps avoid issues when you need to upgrade or re-install your software.

For more about the Application home directory, see About the Application Home Directory.

For more information about this screen, see Application Location in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Oracle recommends that you make a note of the user name and password that you enter on this screen; you need these credentials later to boot and connect to the domain's Administration Server.

On the Domain Mode and JDK screen:

• Select Production in the Domain Mode field.

  Note:

  As of WebLogic Server 14.1.2.0.0, when you select Production mode, WebLogic Server automatically sets some of the security configurations of Secured Production to more secure values. However, there are certain security configurations (such as SSL/TLS) that require manual configuration. See Using Secured Production Mode in Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.

  If you want to disable the more secure default settings, then you may select Disable Secure Mode. This will enable the non-SSL listen ports.

  If you want to retain the more secure default settings of Secured Production mode in general, but want to change which ports (listen ports, SSL listen ports, or administration ports) will be enabled by default in your domain, then you may:

  • Leave Disable Secure Mode unselected, and
  • Change the default port selections under Enable or Disable Default Ports for Your Domain

  For more information, see Understand How Domain Mode Affects the Default Security Configuration in Securing a Production Environment for Oracle WebLogic Server.

• Select the Oracle HotSpot JDK in the JDK field.

On the Database Configuration type screen, select RCU Data. This option instructs the Configuration Wizard to connect to the database and Service Table (STB) schema to automatically retrieve schema information for schemas needed to configure the domain.

After selecting RCU Data, specify details in the following fields:

For an Autonomous Transaction Processing database (both Autonomous Transaction Processing-Dedicated (ATP-D) and Autonomous Transaction Processing Shared (ATP-S)), specify the connection credentials using only the Connection URL String option, and enter the connect string in the following format described in Connection Credentials for an Autonomous Transaction Processing Database.

Click Get RCU Configuration when you finish specifying the database connection information. The following output in the Connection Result Log indicates that the operation succeeded:

Connecting to the database server...OK
Retrieving schema data from database server...OK
Binding local schema components with retrieved data...OK

Successfully Done.

For more information about the schema installed when the RCU is run, see About the Service Table Schema in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

See Database Configuration Type in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard .

Verify that the values populated on the JDBC Component Schema screen are correct for all schemas. If you selected RCU Data on the previous screen, the schema table should already be populated appropriately.

For an Autonomous Transaction Processing database (both Autonomous Transaction Processing-Dedicated (ATP-D) and Autonomous Transaction Processing Shared (ATP-S)), specify the connection credentials using only the Connection URL String option, and enter the connect string in the following format:

@TNS_alias?TNS_ADMIN=<path of the wallet files, ojdbc.properties, and tnsnames.ora>

In the connect string, you must pass TNS_alias as the database service name found in tnsnames.ora, and TNS_ADMIN property to the location of the wallet files, ojdbc.properties, and tnsnames.ora.

Example connect string for Autonomous Transaction Processing-Dedicated (ATP-D) database:

@dbname_tp?TNS_ADMIN=/users/test/wallet_dbname/

Example connect string for Autonomous Transaction Processing Shared (ATP-S) database:

@dbname_tp?TNS_ADMIN=/users/test/wallet_dbname/

For high availability environments, see the following sections in High Availability Guide for additional information on configuring data sources for Oracle RAC databases:

• Configuring Active GridLink Data Sources with Oracle RAC

• Configuring Multi Data Sources

See JDBC Component Schema in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard for more details about this screen.

A green check mark in the Status column indicates a successful test. If you encounter any issues, see the error message in the Connection Result Log section of the screen, fix the problem, then try to test the connection again.

By default, the schema password for each schema component is the password you specified while creating your schemas. If you want different passwords for different schema components, manually edit them in the previous screen (JDBC Component Schema) by entering the password you want in the Schema Password column, against each row. After specifying the passwords, select the check box corresponding to the schemas that you changed the password in and test the connection again.

For more information about this screen, see JDBC Component Schema Test in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

On the Advanced Configuration screen, select:

• Administration Server

  Required to properly configure the listen address of the Administration Server.

• Node Manager

  Required to configure Node Manager.

• Topology

  Required to configure the WebCenter Sites Managed Server.

Optionally, select other available options as required for your desired installation environment. The steps in this guide describe a standard installation topology, but you may choose to follow a different path. If your installation requirements extend to additional options outside the scope of this guide, you may be presented with additional screens to configure those options. For information about all Configuration Wizard screens, see Configuration Wizard Screens in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

1. Provide a name for the Administration Server. The name field must not be null or empty and cannot contain any special characters.
2. Select the drop-down list next to Listen Address and select the IP address of the host where the Administration Server will reside or use the system name or DNS name that maps to a single IP address. Do not use All Local Addresses.
3. Verify the port settings. When the domain type is set to Production, then the Enable SSL Listen Port option is enabled by default. Do not specify any server groups for the Administration Server.

   Note:

   You can change the port values as needed, but they must be unique. If the same port numbers are used for different ports, you will not be able to navigate to the next step in the Configuration Wizard.

For more information, see Specifying the Listen Address in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Select Per Domain Default Location as the Node Manager type, then specify Node Manager credentials.

For more information about this screen, see Node Manager in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

For more information about Node Manager types, see About Node Manager in Administering Node Manager for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Use the Clusters screen to create a new cluster.

For more information about options on this screen, see Clusters in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

For more information about clusters, see Configure Clusters in Oracle WebLogic Remote Console Online Help.

For more on configured cluster and dynamic cluster terms, see About Dynamic Clusters in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server.

On the Assign Servers to Clusters screen:

For more information about this screen, see Assign Servers to Clusters in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Leave the default port number as the Coherence cluster listen port. After configuration, the Coherence cluster is automatically added to the domain.

For Coherence licensing information, see Oracle Coherence Products in Licensing Information.

If you plan to create a high availability environment and know the list of machines your target topology requires, you can follow the instructions in this section to create all the machines at this time. For more about scale out steps, see Optional Scale Out Procedure in High Availability Guide.

For more information about this screen, see Machines in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

On the Assign Servers to Machines screen:

For more information about this screen, see Assign Servers to Machines in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Review each item on the screen and verify that the information is correct. To make any changes, go back to a screen by clicking the Back button or selecting the screen in the navigation pane. Domain creation does not start until you click Create.

For more details about options on this screen, see Configuration Summary in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

Make a note of the following items because you need them later:

• Domain Location

• Administration Server URL

You need the domain location to access scripts that start Node Manager and Administration Server, and you need the URL to access the Administration Server.

Click Finish to dismiss the Configuration Wizard.
