Installation of SOA Suite 12c

Oracle recently released the SOA Suite 12c and following are the steps to install SOA Suite 12c on your local system.
1. Download SOA Suite 12c from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html 
2. Please note that SOA Suite is certified only for 64 bit machine on a 64 bit JVM. You should have 64bit JDK on your system , Only JRE is not sufficient.
3.The download results  includes two jar files fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar and fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart2.jar

4.Open a command line and execute the command java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_soa_quickstart.jar. Please note that in the class path we should include the path of jdk/bin and java home set to jdk.Or you may execute this command from the jdk/bin folder.
5. This opens up a GUI as follows.Follow the screen shots as listed below and thats it, your SOA is installed.






6. Check that on the file system the following directories are created.
7.This version has an inbuilt jdeveloper which can be used for deploying soa composites as well unlike the older versions of jdeveloper. This means that to test the soa composites on our local system there is no need to create a soa domain. Just start the integrated weblogic from Jdeveloper and it will create a domain and the weblogic server will start. The port for this soa domain is 7101 and username password is weblogic/welcome1.
