Installation and Configuration of Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1

This article provides the instructions for installing and configuring the Oracle SOA Suite server and the Oracle JDeveloper development tool. These instructions are for the GA version of 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.30), dated April 2010. In addition, this article includes the instructions for installing Oracle Service Bus.
These instructions are Windows based but Linux users should have no difficulty adjusting them for their environment.
Checking your installation
If you already have SOA Suite and JDeveloper installed, confirm that you have the correct version and configuration by following the steps in the section below called Testing your installation. In addition, you may want to complete the items in the section called Additional actions. Finally, you must complete the section called Configuration to run a tutorial.

What you will need and where to get it
This installation requires 3 GB or more available memory. If you have less memory, try separating the installation of the database, the servers, and JDeveloper onto different machines.

Memory and Disk Space requirements
This installation requires 3 GB or more available memory. If you have less memory, try separating the installation of the database, the servers, and JDeveloper onto different machines.
The installation process requires about 12 GB of disk space. After installation, you can delete the files used by installation to save about 4 GB.
As you can see, you are installing a lot of software with a large memory and disk footprint. Running your disk defragmentation program now, before you start downloading and installing, can significantly improve install time as well as performance and disk space usage later on.
