How to setup WebCenter Content 11gR2 in a cozy afternoon

April 30, 2016 Posted in Blogs

I had engagement to setup Oracle WebCenter Portal and Content for a public sector client before. It took a few days to complete. The procedure to setup enterprise level application is not always smooth. Usually you get fairly complete installation guide, but you could get lost very easily because of two many dependencies in those documents.cm

In order to make everybody’s life easier, I write down below installation steps for Oracle WebCenter Content 11gR2. With this guidance, you could finish it in a cozy afternoon, then enjoy the sunset at beach park.

  1. Download software;
    1. VMware WS 12.0.1 Player for Linux 64bit (free) or Virtual Box 5.0.8 (free);
    2. Oracle Database 11g Express (free);
    3. Oracle Fusion Middleware RCU (Repository Creation Utility) 11g (11.1.1.1.9.0) for Linux x86-64 (561M);
    4. Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6) Linux x86 with 32-bit JVM (in previous release);
    5. Oracle WebCenter Content 11gR1;
