The reason for the issue is that the OER is actually not properly installed even though the installer specifies that the installation is successfully completed. You can check this by mentioning the log file during the installation as below:

java -jar OER111150_generic.jar -log=\tmp\install.log

You will see the error "Cannot set up jar file extraction directory: Permission denied" in the log file. The reason for this error is that the installer extracts itself in the /tmp directory on the file system where the installer resides (if installer is on shared server then the installer tries to extracts itself on the shared server /tmp directory). Give full permissions to the user on the /tmp directory of the server where the installer resides.

Also specify the environment variables as below:

export TMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=/tmp

In windows, specify the environment variable TEMP=C:\TEMP and TEMPDIR=C:\TEMP

OUI version not compatible error

I was trying to install the MLR#8 on BPEL 10.1.3.4 and as a prerequisite, I extracted the latest oPatch in SOA Oracle home but it fails when I apply the patch using opatch command. I also ran Prereq to check the OUI version compatibility but got the error,

Prereq "checkOUIVersionCompatible" failed

The details are: Required version of OUI is not present.The available version is 10.1.0.6.0

Solution:

Under Oracle SOA home:
1. Rename /oui directory to /oui.original

2. Copy the oui directory under the Oracle DB home to Oracle SOA home:
/oui to

3. Run OPatch update again

This issue occurs because the Oracle Universal Installer version in Oracle SOA suite is not updated to the latest one - and is not compatible with the latest OPatch version.

AIA (2.4) Installation Steps

1. Install Database:

- Oracle 10g:
Install Oracle 10.2.0.3
Install 10.2.0.1
Install patch 10.2.0.3

OR

- Oracle XE

2. Install SOA Suite 10.1.3.1: This is the base software installation of SOA Suite 10g.Every subsequent step will be a patch applied to this base software install. Perform the advanced SOA install

3. Patch SOA Suite – 10.1.3.4
This patch brings the 10.1.3.1 base installation up to version 10.1.3.4.

4. Download Oracle Patch (OPatch) update
This is a patch for the Oracle Patch utility for SOA Suite and must be applied to the SOA Suite home. This is required for MLR #8 listed below.

5. Install Merge Label Request (MLR) #8 Patch number: 8372150: MLR patches are accumulations of bug fixes that have not yet made it into a point release but will be included when such a release is public. One can think of MLRs as a service pack or patch cluster between point releases of the product.

6. Install Oracle Services Registry (Optional for AIA 2.4 installation)
Service registry provides a central place to catalog and categorize all of the services created. The SOA Suite installer does not install the Oracle Service Registry.

7. Install AIA Media Pack Latest version: 2.4

- Product: Oracle Application Integration Architecture
- Pack: Oracle Application Integration Architecture Release 2.4 Media Pack for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
- Part: V16434-01

Note:

1. Select a new Oracle home for AIA installation

2. Are you using the right version of JDK?.
Each version of Foundation pack is certified with a different version of JDK. Verify the installation guide and metalink notes to check for the most recent version. The last version of Foundation pack was certified on JDK 1.5 update 16

3. Does the DB user have DBA privileges?
The DB user entered during interview screens should have privileges to create a db schema. ‘sys’ user usually has all the required privileges.

4. Is directory browsing enabled on the server?
Check the install guide for information on how to enable directory browsing on your server.

5. Is your ESB working properly?
- Ensure ESB design time and runtime are accessing the following urls.
http://host:port/esb/dtStatus.jsp
http://host:port/esb/rtStatus.jsp
both the pages should return a true.
- Deploy a sample ESB process from ESB Console and execute it to check the results.
- Create a sample ‘system’ from ESB Console.
- Ensure virtual host and port of BPELSystem and DefaultSystem are set appropriately in ESBConsole.

6. Is your BPEL PM working properly?
- Deploy a sample BPEL process and verify the flow eg: LoanFlow demo.
- Verify if you are able to login to BPELConsole and navigate across various pages
