OIM 11GR2 PS2 Installation steps - High Level

  1. Install weblogic 10.3.6 or later
  2. Run the RCU. All the R2 PS2 IAM related downloads can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/id-mgmt/downloads/oid-11gr2-2104316.html
  3. Download the latest SOA versioned 11.1.1.7
  4. Install the IAM components into the selected middleware home
  5. Install SOA
  6. Extend the weblogic domain or create a new domain for all the required IAM components by running the domain config.
  7. Create the policy store
  8. Configure SOA
  9. Configure OIM
  10. Start SOA followed by OIM

Few Issues I ran into were:

- Had to increase the number of DB cursors to 800
- Had to increase the number of DB processes to 800
- Since I am running it on a vm image the image itself requires 6GB of RAM


The install of R2 PS2 is very straight forward and there are no issues/known issues while setting up OIM so far like the ones we faced while setting up R2 PS1. I will post more on the enhancements and features introduced in this release.

All the related documentation can be found below:

  2. We dont need to apply any SOA patches in R2 PS2. It was required as part of the SOA 11.1.1.6. But SOA 11.1.1.7 has all the required fixes and patches bundled. Also I have already mentioned about the policy store in the steps.

  3. Ok, lets check it in oracle guides.
    Here is about SOA: "After installing Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.7.0, you must apply mandatory SOA patches before installing Oracle Identity Manager" ( reference: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40329_01/install.1112/e49521/install.htm#BALJCEFE ).
    And here is information about updating OPSS schema with Patch Set Assistant: "After configuring the Oracle Identity and Access Management (11.1.2.2.0) components, you must upgrade the Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS) " ( reference: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40329_01/install.1112/e49521/install.htm#CIHDGEFI )
