Installing the BDSS Components 3-3
The minimum set of hardware for the BDSS Hub and Dispatcher is as follows:
■
The Oracle Enterprise Manager
■
Oracle WebLogic Application Server 11g the minimum for the Oracle BPEL Task Connector for the Hub components and the Oracle BPEL Task Connector
deployment.
■
A server for the data store with the Oracle Database 11g. For very small deployments, this database may reside on the same server as the other
components.
This environment is sufficient for installing the Exchange 2007 Connector.

3.2 Deploying the Hub Components
The Dispatcher, Engine, and Exchange 2007 connector are packaged in bdss_ template.jar. You can deploy the Dispatcher and the Engine on the same
application server or on separate application servers. Because the Dispatcher communicates with the Engine through a remote MBean interface, it can be deployed
to a separate application server if needed.
3.2.1 Prerequisites for Deploying the Hub Components
The required software for BDSS is as follows:
■
Oracle WebLogic Application Server 11g or later with a domain to which you can deploy the components.
Note: Hardware requirements for a deployment vary depending on
the complexity and scale of the deployment.
Note: Although installing most of the components on separate
application servers results in improved scalability support, you can install all of them on the same application server. However,
installation on a single application server affects performance and port settings.

A database that supports Oracle EclipseLink for storage of configuration and mapping information. Oracle recommends Oracle Database 11g.

3.4 Creating a Domain
To create a domain using Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard:
1. In the Welcome screen, select Create a new WebLogic domain and then click Next.
The Select Domain Source screen appears.
2. Select Oracle Enterprise Manager and then click Next. You use Oracle Enterprise
Manager to configure the security credentials used by the Exchange 2007 Connector described in
Section 3.6, Adding Security Credentials . You can also
configure the Hub and Dispatcher using Oracle Enterprise Manager. For more information, see
Chapter 5, Configuring the BDSS Hub Services.
3.
In the Configure Administrator User Name and Password screen, enter the user name and password and then click Next. The Configure Server Start Mode and
JDK screen appears.
4.
If needed, change the JDK; otherwise, navigate to the Create WebLogic Domain screen by clicking Next.
5.
In the Create WebLogic Domain screen, enter a domain name and then click Create
.
6. When the progress indicator completes, click Done.
3.4.1 Installing Java Required Files
You deploy the Exchange 2007 Connector on the Oracle WebLogic Server domain. You can include this WebLogic Server extension either as part of the initial installation of
Oracle WebLogic Server described in Section 3.4.1.1
or as an extension to a domain of an existing installation described in
Section 3.4.1.2 .
Note: Select Oracle JRF -11.1.1.0[jdeveloper] if it is not selected by
default. See also Section 3.4.1.1, Installing the JRF Extension.
