Follow below steps to install Oracle SOA 12c.

Step 1:

Download Oracle SOA 12c installer.

Go to below link.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html?ssSourceSiteId=opn

Accept the License Agreement.

Click on Download link to download the installer.

You will see one jar file downloaded to your system. Extract that jar file and you will see below two executable jar files.

• fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart
• fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart2

We need to run these executable jar files from command prompt.

Step 2:

You also need to download supported JDK, you will not be able to run Oracle SOA 12c installer if you don’t have supported JDK.

You can download latest jdk from below link.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

By default this will be installed in C:\Program Files\Java.

Step 3:

Open the cmd prompt, right-click on it and run it as administrator.

Step 4:

Go to java bin folder where you have installed latest JDK. E.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin

Oracle SOA 12c is an executable jar file so we need to run it from command prompt.

Run below command in command prompt.

Java –jar Oracle_SOA_12c_exceutable_Jar_File_Location

Here you need to provide first executable jar file path.

You will see it start extracting file.

Once all files extracted, it will launch the installer.

Step 5:

You see window of quick start installation, click on next.

Step 6:

You need to specify Oracle home directory. If there is any issue with the directory like space is not available then installer will show that error at below pane.

Click Next.

Step 7:

In this step installer check system certification and Java Version. Both prerequisite should meet.

Click Next.

Step 8:

You see installation summary page, you can save the response file if you want to.

Click on “Install” to start the actual installation process.

Step 9:

In this step, installer copy all required libraries or files to your system.

Some time you may get below error when installer copy files to your system. This error occur when you use JDK 8 but you will not get this error when you use JDK 7.

Error: ....Failed to Transform .................Can't rename temporary file name..................

This error may occur due to access issue, I still need to investigate the root cause of this but there in one work around which worked for me.

Just change Oracle home path from “C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home” to “C:\Oracle_1\Middleware\Oracle_Home”.

You see the installation progress.

Once setup is complete, click on Next.

Step 10:

In this screen, you see installation summary. If you want to start the Jdeveloper then you can check the “Start Jdeveloper” box and click on Finish.

Step 11: Now we will create domain. Go to next Chapter-2 to create required domain.

Step 12: Now we will add SOA extension to the JDeveloper. To do this go to Help --> Check for Updates.

Check all checkboxes and click on next.

Then you will see next window and in that window you see IDE folder and under that you see "Extension SDK".

Click on the checkbox and install it.
