Application Integration Architecture AIA PS3 Installation on Windows:

Once the pre-requisites are done, Before running the installer, we need to configure some basic requirements.

1. Enable Remote JDBC Connection in Weblogic Server:

--Go to MiddlewareHome-UserProjects-Domains-YourDomain-Bin-SetDomainEnv.cmd

--Search for the string: =false"

WLS_JDBC_REMOTE_ENABLED="-Dweblogic.jdbc.remoteEnabled

-- Set it to true.

-- Restart the Admin Server.

2. Increase the Memory Settings:

-- Go to SOA_HOME-bin-ant-sca-compile.xml

-- Increase the following memory settings so that you don't run into 'Out of Memory' issues while

the installer compiles the AIA composite applications.

3. Set up the TimeZone for the server

-- Open Weblogic Admin Server Console--Environment--servers-AdminServer-Server Start tab

-- In the ARGUMENTS field, enter this property -Duser.timezone=TZone where TZone can be abbreviation of timezones like UTC, GMT, MST etc. It can also be of the Continent/City or format "+5:30"

Note: I have configured the SOA domain with All-IN-ONE AdminServer.If you have configured a domain containing Admin+SOA, then you have to configure this property to the SOAServer

4.Ensure Correct Settings For Node Manager:

-- Go to MiddlewareHome -- wlserver_10.3--common--nodemanager

-- Open nodemanager.properties file and check the StartScriptEnabled property

-- Set it to true.

-- Start the node manager. using the StartNodeManager.cmd

5. Ensure that NodeManager is Reachable:
