PeopleSoft 9.1 Mobile Inventory: Installing Weblogic Server & Application Development Runtime

As described in the previous post PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory is build on ADF Mobile pages. In order to run these pages you need to install Application Development Runtime, which runs as an extention of Weblogic Server. To be able to install Weblogic Server, first you have to install a JDK. I have downloaded and installed JDK 1.6.0_31. I will not describe the installation steps of JDK.

I will install all software needed on a Windows 2008R2 64bit Server.

Weblogic Server

Start a commd prompt and set the directory to the JDK installation folder and initiate the Weblogic installer.

C:\Install>set JAVA_HOME=C:\apps\Java\jdk1.6.0_31
C:\Install>java -jar wls1034_generic.jar

On the the Welcome screen click on Next.

Choose to create a new Middle Home and supply a WLS_HOME directory. I installed it, as shown above in c:\apps\Oracle\WSLMobile. You can also see that I have other Weblogic Server installations on this server, these will not conflict and can easily exists together. After this click on Next. Now the Register for Security Updates screen shows. Choose not be informed on security updates and click on Next. Now the Choose Install Type screem shows.
