Installing Oracle Endeca Information Discovery 3.0

PREPARED BY RAVI KUMAR LANKE Page 1
INSTALLING ORACLE ENDECA INFORMATION DISCOVERY 3.0

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
o Oracle Endeca Server (7.5.1.0) from edelivery
o Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Studio (3.0) for WebLogic from edelivery
o Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Integrator (3.0) from edelivery
o JDK version 6
Download the Sun version here or
On this page download the jRockit version for Windows x86-64 (recommended
for Endeca Server, but not certified with Endeca Studio as Brett stated in the
comments)
o Oracle Weblogic Server 11gR1
On this page download Weblogic 10.3.6, the Generic: 1GB
release.
o ADF Runtime
On this page download Application Development Runtime version 11.1.1.6:

When you've downloaded these components you are ready to go.
Perhaps first a brief summary of the steps we will do during this install,
so you will not loose the overview:
1. Install the JDK (needed for the application server)
2. Install Weblogic Server (the application server)
3. Install the ADF Runtime software (some additional middletier components
needed for a succesful Endeca Server deployment)
4. Install the Endeca Server software (the analytical search database)
5. Create a Weblogic Domain for the Endeca Server
6. Create a Weblogic Domain for Endeca Studio
7. Update some Weblogic settings for the purpose of the installation of Endeca
Studio
8. Deploy the Endeca Studio application (the presentation layer)
9. Install Integrator (the ETL component)
10.Done

Install the JDK
I use the jRockit, but the Sun JDK has similar steps. To install the jRockit
JDK just start the setup.exe. Click <Next> on the first screen and on the
second screen enter a path. DO NOT USE SPACES!

Click <Next>. On the next page make no selections and click <Next> again. Then you
are asked if you want to install the JRE as well.
It is not necessary, but if you say Yes and <Next> then you are asked for a path again.
Enter a different path then the previous one and click <Next>.
jRockit will be installed.

Click done to finish.

Install Weblogic Server
To install Weblogic Server execute the download wls1036_generic.jar
with the JDK.
Go to the directory with wls1036_generic.jar and type:
<JDK Path>binjava -jar wls1036_generic.jar

Click yes

Select I wish and click continue

Then choose a Custom install and click <Next>. On the next screen uncheck Oracle
Coherence

Click done to finish

Install the Endeca Server Software
Open a command line box, go to the unzipped Endeca Server software
directory Disk1 and start the setup with the -jreLoc option as with the
ADF runtime software: setup.exe -jreLoc <JDK dir>.
The installer starts. On the Welcome screen click <Next>. After the
Prerequisites Checks have been done click <Next>. Then select the
Weblogic Middleware home from a drop down list. Leave the Oracle
Home Directory to the default (EndecaServer7.5.1_1):

After entering locations click <Next>. For this installation we will not run the Endeca
Server in a secure mode, so uncheck 'Yes':

Create a Weblogic Domain for the Endeca Server:
Now we need to create a Weblogic Domain for the Endeca Server
software. To do so, open a command prompt (of course you can also
use Windows Explorer, but I like the command line, if something goes
wrong ...) and go to the directory:<Weblogic Middleware
Home>wlserver_10.3commonbin
Type there: config.cmd
On the appearing screen choose: Create a new Weblogic domain. Click
<Next>. Then select "Oracle Endeca Server - 7.5.1.0". The second
check ("Oracle JRF") comes for free:

Password: welcome1

You can verify your install of the Endeca Server. Start the Endeca Server Domain by
executing:
<Weblogic Middleware Home>user_projectsdomains<endeca server
domain name>binstartWebLogic.cmd
From a browser start this URL: http://localhost:7001/endeca-
server/ws/manage?wsdl

Now the Endeca Server is completely installed and operational (on port 7001)

Create a Weblogic Domain for Endeca Studio
For the Endeca Studio application we also need to create a domain
(recommended as per the documentation). This is similar to the Endeca
Server Domain creation: Open a command prompt and go to the
directory: <Weblogic Middleware Home>wlserver_10.3commonbin
Type there: config.cmd

Password : welcome1

Click <Next>. Since we did a basic domain installation of the Endeca Server this has
been configured on port 7001. So we need to change the port of the domain where
Endeca Studio will be running. Change the Listen port of the future Endeca Studio
Application. I chose port 8880.

Update some Weblogic settings for the purpose of Endeca
Studio:
Before you can deploy the Endeca Studio application, we need to modify
some Weblogic settings. Edit the file:
<Weblogic Middleware Home>user_projectsdomains<Endeca Studio
Domain>binsetDomainEnv.cmd
Copy the italics text below and paste it in the top of the file, i.e. just
after set WL_HOME.
set JAVA_OPTIONS=-
Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan
.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl -
Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xer
ces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -
Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.in
ternal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl

In the same file update (2 times) memory arguments:
Change set WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT=-Xms256m -Xmx512m into: set
WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT=-Xms256m –Xmx1024m
and Change
set MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE_64BIT=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m into: set
MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE_64BIT=-XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Save the file
Stop the Endeca Studio domain if started (via command <Weblogic Middleware
Home>user_projectsdomains<endeca server domain
name>binstopWebLogic.cmd) and start it (via command <Weblogic
Middleware Home>user_projectsdomains<endeca server domain
name>binstartWebLogic.cmd).

Deploy the Endeca Studio application
Now you will deploy the Endeca Studio application in the just created
Weblogic domain. After you unzip the edelivery Studio package for
Weblogic you'll see some files:
Copy the files portal-ext.properties and endeca-portal-weblogic-
3.0.10089.ear to <Weblogic Middleware Home>user_projectsdomains
In the directory <Weblogic Middleware Home>user_projectsdomains
create the following directories: data, deploy and weblogic-deploy.
In the newly created directory <Weblogic Middleware
Home>user_projectsdomainsdata create the directory endeca-data-sources.

The directory <Weblogic Middleware Home>user_projectsdomains will look like:

Now let's deploy the Endeca Studio file (endeca-portal-weblogic-
3.0.10089.ear).
Make sure your Endeca Studio domain has been started. Open a
browser and go to URL: http://localhost:<port number>/console
(for me: http://localhost:8880/console).

Go to Configure applications:

Click Install:

Locate the file endeca-portal-weblogic-3.0.10089.ear in <Weblogic Middleware
Home>user_projectsdomainsand paste the path to that file in the Path space.
Hit <enter>:

Click next

Click finish

Click save

Then click on deployments in the left pane of the Domain Structure. In the deployments
then check endeca-portal-weblogic and from the Start drop down select: Servicing All
Requests:

you can check the URL: http://localhost:<port number> (in my case:
http://localhost:8880):

Email address : admin@oracle.com
Password : Welcome123

New password = welcome1
Click save

Install Integrator
The last piece of software before we can create our projects is the
Integrator. After the unzip of the downloaded file you will see 3 files.
2 Files are needed when you would want to deploy the server version
for production environments.
For now double click the file EID_3.0_Integrator.exe.

Click finish
