Installing fusion middleware 11G

Read the instructions I always say…  I don’t always do…

I’ve installed the middleware, but nor run the rcu.bat “Repository Creation Utility”.

So, I had to download this from:  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html, more specifically search for Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.2.1)

download the 300ish Mb and extract zip file

goto bin dir and run rcu.bat

Create

Enter your database details

Check

Next

I needed to connect as user sys using sysdba privs.  Note that I did not select the identity management schemas, as they are a little sensitive

Enter your password

You need to change the two passwords as a minimum, above

create Table spaces

Create

Then, the process runs for ages (for us anyway, we are using an old VM machine)

Then you can run the SOA installer!
