OFM 11g Install Types
19 Jun 2009 by Simon Haslam (in General)
The UK Oracle User Group held a very informative Application Server & Middleware SIG meeting yesterday. Whilst no doubt we'll all find out more details about OFM 11g on 1st July (with the UK launch event being held on 2nd July), Oracle Support did give some interesting tasters (as approved by Product Management). |  |
- Web tier (Web Cache, Oracle HTTP Server)
- WebLogic Server
- 'Classic' (Forms/Reports/Portal/Discoverer)
- SOA
- WebCenter
- Identity Management
- Repository Creation Utility (RCU)
Fusion Middleware 11g will be the first major release to include all the components since 10.1.2.0.2 and there will be migration procedures from the various installation types (Forms, SOA, IdM etc) of 10g R2 and 10g R3.
It's good to see the "web-tier" installation type which I assume will include the WebLogic plug-in preconfigured in OHS (the version based on Apache 2). Hopefully there will also be an option not to install Web Cache if you don't need it. Quite which installer will be used for all this (OUI, BEA's or some sort of hybrid) remains to be seen.
I also welcome the appearance of the Repository Creation Utiliity (an evolution of MRCA) from the start as it suggests that the middleware data will be appropriately installed in the database tier, rather than 'embedded' in an infrastructure server as was the case with a default install of OAS 10g.
Slides from the day are available to members on the UKOUG website (check back in a day or two for those that haven't yet been published by the UKOUG office).
