Installing Oracle Fusion Middleware and SOA Suite 11g

The SOA Suite is available for various operating systems, including Windows, Unix and Linux. You can install and run the SOA Suite on a machine that has at least 2 Gb of memory, some 10 Gb of free disk space and a dual core 1.5 Ghz processor. When you intend to run JDeveloper on the same machine, you should hope for at least 3 Gb of memory.
Part of the SOA Suite infrastructure is the meta data repository that needs to be installed in a 10g or 11g Oracle RDBMS. Note: SQL Server 2005 and 2008 is also supported, as may be other databases at some point. Before you start the installation, you need to make sure that you have access to such a database - with one Gb of disk space for the creation of new tablespaces. The database parameters for processes and open_cursors should both be set to values of 500 or above. You need credentials for a database user with DBA or SYSDBA privileges.

The documentation for the installation as well as all other details of the SOA Suite and the other components in Fusion Middleware can be found on line: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/middleware.html .
