Start Oracle Service Bus 11g

To start OSB firstly need to start a WLS with correct memory settings and configure WLS Servers/Domains.

Execute /opt/bea/wlserver_103/common/bin/config.sh to configure domain.

1. choose "Oracle Service Bus for Developers - 11.1.1.4 [Oracle_OSB1]" option during configuration process. After completing this step you will get configured base_domain domain with osb_server1 server instance. For the first time I decided to accept default names.

2. start WL Server with Administration Console
export USER_MEM_ARGS="-Xms1280m -Xmx1280m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
/u01/oracle/mw/user_projects/domains/base_domain$ ./bin/startWebLogic.sh

3. Start Managed Server osb_server1
/u01/oracle/mw/user_projects/domains/base_domain$ ./bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh osb_server1



to check WEB services I use ssh port forwarding and VPN. It might look like this.

ssh -c blowfish -g -L8011:HOST:8011 oracle_or_other@HOST
In my particular configuration ports are 7001 and 8011 so you have to make two ports to be forwarded.

According to Oracle documentation it should be:

WLS Console accessible at : http://your_app_srv.domain.foo:7001/console

OSB Console accessible at : http://your_app_srv.domain.foo:8011/sbconsoleho

But:

Bug: 9797009
Updated: 20-May-2011
Platform: All
The Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Service Bus provides an incorrect URL to access to Oracle Service Bus Administration Console.
Following is the correct URL: http://:/sbconsole.

so, the correct URL should be:

WLS Console accessible at : http://your_app_srv.domain.foo:7001/console

OSB Console accessible at : http://your_app_srv.domain.foo:7001/sbconsoleho

and you actually have to do only one port forwarding.

All done.
