Peoplesoft on Windows 2012 : Middleware

After installing Windows 2012 and Oracle database software, time to move on with Peoplesoft software.
Note that Peopletools 8.53 is now certified on Windows 2012 (check the certification matrix on My Oracle Support).

Before hands, we’ll first install the required software JDK, Tuxedo and Weblogic.

1. JDK
I downloaded the one available on edelivery, Oracle JDK 7 Update 9 for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit), part number V35015-01. After unzipping the file, run it. Nothing special here, straight forward, click, click and click. Done. Here we go:
PTOOLS853_W2012_JDK_001
PTOOLS853_W2012_JDK_002
PTOOLS853_W2012_JDK_003
PTOOLS853_W2012_JDK_004
PTOOLS853_W2012_JDK_005
PTOOLS853_W2012_JDK_006
Nothing is required for the JDK, no patch to apply afterwards.     

2. Weblogic
I download the software from edelivery, Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.6) Generic and Coherence, part number V29856-01.
Now the install, straing from the command line (despite we can see “Powershell windows, I ran a “cmd” first):
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_001
Except this command line we should take care of, it’s again a “click'” installation:
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_002
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_003
The directory I specified is not empty because it is also used for Tuxedo and JDK binaries, nothing wrong to continue:
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_004
Again this uninformed question:
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_005
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_006
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_007
The installer retrieve the JDK binaries by itself:
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_008
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_009
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_010
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_011
PTOOLS853_W2012_WEB_012

3. Tuxedo
Last part of the middleware, Tuxedo.
Again, I download the software available on edelivery, Oracle Tuxedo 11gR1 (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) with MS Visual Studio 2010, part number V28471-01. And again, there’s nothing special here, straight foward:

PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_001
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_002
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_003
Choose the full install:
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_004
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_005
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_006
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_007
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_008
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_009
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_010
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_011
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_012
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_013
Now, we can check the Tuxedo group installed:
PTOOLS853_W2012_TUX_014        
   

That’s it. Nothing really exciting here, but mandatory steps anyway in order to use Peoplesoft. Note that there’s no big change (none?) from the previous version, and Windows 2012 does not cause any troubles.

Next step, the Peopletools.

Nicolas.
