Oracle IDM 11gR1 (11.1.1.6.0) Installation and Configuration

1. Review and Make Note of Your Operating System Capabilities (32-bit or 64-bit): I have 64-bit Virtuals
2. Review the Certification, System Requirements, and Interoperability Information without fail
3. Understand the Types of Oracle Fusion Middleware Installers. I will be concentrating on Identity Management Installation in this post.
4. Download the required softwares (if you are on oAS 10g, you need to upgrade to 11g now, not covered in this post)
   1. Download the Oracle database software: I am using Oracle Database 11.2.0.1
   2. Download the Oracle RCU : I am using Repository Creation Utility 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0)
   3. Download 64-bit, Sun DDK 1.6.0_24/ Oracle JRockit SDK 1.6.0_24
   4. Download the Oracle Weblogic Server Software: I am using Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6) Generic
   5. Download the Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0)
   6. There are patches available for an existing Oracle Fusion Middleware installation: The IDM 11g patchset 5 (11.1.1.6.0) 13516867 is now available and is required if you are on 11.1.1.x.0 where x=2,3,4,5).

Start -> Install Database 11.2-> Run RCU 11.1(Install IDM schema)-> install JDK -> Install Oracle Weblogic 10.3 -> Install (do not configure) Oracle FMW 11.1 products-> Run the Patchset installer to update the software to 11g, if available -> Configure and create IDM domains and Managed servers – > Done

Operating system is RHEL 5.5 64-bit, kernel parameters adjusted accordingly and 64-bit RPMs required for this Fusion Middleware 11g installation has been installed both on Database node and Application node. Hardware and Software has met the minimum requirements as per Oracle recommendations.

To use WebLogic Server with 64-bit JVM’s on Linux and Solaris or to use WLS on other supported platforms, use the WebLogic Server generic installer, however it does not include a JVM/JDK.

Oracle JRockit 1.6.0_24 JDK is included in WebLogic Server installers for the Windows and Linux platforms.

Note: Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) is not supported on Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1).

Install Oracle Database 11.2.0.1

Install Oracle Database 11.2.0.1 software and use the dbca utility to create a test database.

1. open_cursors should be greater than or equal to 500
2. processes should be greater than or equal to 500
3. Use AL32UTF8 as the database character set

SQL> alter system set processes=500 scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set open_cursors=800 scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set session_cached_cursors=500 scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set session_max_open_files=50 scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set aq_tm_processes=1 scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=10 scope=spfile;
SQL> shut immediate;
SQL> startup;

Minimum Initialization Parameters for Oracle RAC Databases

Parameter	Value
aq_tm_processes	1
dml_locks	200
job_queue_processes	10
open_cursors	800
session_max_open_files	50
sessions	500
processes	500
sga_target	512M
sga_max_size	800M
pga_aggregate_target	100M
session_cached_cursors	500
processes	2500
sga_target	4G
pga_aggregate_target	2G

OAM requires a minimum of 800 open cursors in the database. When OIM and OAM are available, the number of open cursors should be 1500.

Installing IDM schema using RCU

RCU is available only on 32-bit x86 Linux and 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system platforms. On 64-bit Linux operating systems, you must run the following command before starting RCU:

set linux32 bash

[oracle@mpoojari oracle]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle

• set hard and soft nofile to 4096 in etc/security/limits.conf
• unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to avoid installation or configuration failure at instance creation.
• Reboot the server

Creating Managed Server instances

Creating managed server instances for OIM and OID yet to be covered. Keep watching this space.

Deinstalling Identity Management

The procedures for deinstalling Oracle Identity Management contains the following sections:

• Deinstalling the Oracle Identity Management Oracle Home
• Deinstalling the Oracle Common Home

Deinstall Oracle IDM home

Perform the following steps to deinstall your Oracle Identity Management Oracle Home using the graphical, screen-based deinstaller:

1. Verify your Oracle Identity Management Oracle Home is not in use by an existing domain.
2. Stop all processes that use the Oracle Identity Management Oracle Home.
3. Open a command prompt and move (cd) into the IDM_ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin directory (UNIX) or the IDM_ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin directory (Windows).
4. Invoke the Deinstaller from command line using the -deinstall option. For example:

On UNIX:

./runInstaller -deinstall

On Windows:

setup.exe -deinstall

The Welcome screen appears.

Deinstalling the Oracle Common Home

Perform the following steps to deinstall the ORACLE_COMMON_HOME directory:

1. Stop all processes that use the ORACLE_COMMON_HOME directory. To know all the processes that are using ORACLE_COMMON_HOME directory use the following commands:

On UNIX:

ps-ef grep <oracle_common>

On Windows:

Use the Windows Task Manager to identify the processes that use the ORACLE_COMMON_HOME directory.

2. Deinstall your Oracle Identity Management Oracle Home by performing the steps in Deinstalling the Oracle Identity Management Oracle Home.
3. Open a command prompt and move (cd) into the ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/oui/bin/ directory (on UNIX) or the ORACLE_COMMON_HOME\oui\bin\ directory (on Windows).
4. Invoke the Deinstaller from command line using the -deinstall option and the -jreLoc option, which identifies the location where Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed. For example:

On UNIX:

./runInstaller -deinstall -jreLoc FULL_PATH_TO_JRE_DIRECTORY

On Windows:

setup.exe -deinstall -jreLoc FULL_PATH_TO_JRE_DIRECTORY

The Welcome screen appears.
