Weblogic 12.1.3 silent mode installation

First of all update your linux distribution to latest version, and create user/group which is required for installation.

[root@oracle-linux ~]# yum update
[root@oracle-linux ~]# groupadd wls
[root@oracle-linux ~]# useradd -g wls wls
[root@oracle-linux ~]# passwd wls
[root@oracle-linux ~]# su - wls
-bash-4.2$ umask 027

Download Weblogic installation file from Oracle website : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-main-097127.html
Download jdk from Oracle website : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Prepare oraInst.loc;

-bash-4.2$ more /etc/oraInst.loc 
inventory_loc=/home/wls/oraInventory/
inst_group=wls

Prepare Response File;

-bash-4.2$ more response.file.rsp 
[ENGINE]
#DO NOT CHANGE THIS.
Response File Version=1.0.0.0.0
[GENERIC]
#The oracle home location. This can be an existing Oracle Home or a new Oracle Home
ORACLE_HOME=/home/wls/12.1.3.0
#Set this variable value to the Installation Type selected. e.g. WebLogic Server, Coherence, Complete with Examples.

#Provide the My Oracle Support Username. If you wish to ignore Oracle Configuration Manager configuration provide empty string for user name.
MYORACLESUPPORT_USERNAME=
#Provide the My Oracle Support Password
MYORACLESUPPORT_PASSWORD=
#Set this to true if you wish to decline the security updates. Setting this to true and providing empty string for My Oracle Support username will ignore the Oracle Configuration Manager configuration
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
#Set this to true if My Oracle Support Password is specified
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false
#Provide the Proxy Host
PROXY_HOST=
#Provide the Proxy Port
PROXY_PORT=
#Provide the Proxy Username

PROXY_PWD=
#Type String (URL format) Indicates the OCM Repeater URL which should be of the format [scheme[Http/Https]]://[repeater host]:[repeater port]
COLLECTOR_SUPPORTHUB_URL=

Check wls user settings and edit .bash_profile;

-bash-4.2$ id
uid=1001(wls) gid=1001(wls) groups=1001(wls) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

-bash-4.2$ more .bash_profile 
export WL_HOME=/home/wls/12.1.3.0/wlserver/
export CONFIG_JVM_ARGS="-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom"

Fix the file paths according to your system and Install Weblogic;

/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_20/bin/java -jar -d64 /home/wls/fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar -silent -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc -responseFile /home/wls/response.file.rsp

After successful installation create domain, following steps below using WLST;

-bash-4.2$ pwd
/home/wls/12.1.3.0/wlserver/common/bin
-bash-4.2$ ./commEnv.sh 
-bash-4.2$ ./wlst.sh 
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...

Welcome to WebLogic Server Administration Scripting Shell

Type help() for help on available commands

wls:/offline> readTemplate('/home/wls/12.1.3.0/wlserver/common/templates/wls/wls.jar')
wls:/offline/base_domain>cd('Servers/AdminServer')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer>set('ListenAddress','')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer>set('ListenPort', 7001)
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer>create('AdminServer','SSL')
Proxy for AdminServer: Name=AdminServer, Type=SSL
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer>cd('SSL/AdminServer')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer/SSL/AdminServer>set('Enabled', 'True')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer/SSL/AdminServer>set('ListenPort', 7002)
wls:/offline/base_domain/Server/AdminServer/SSL/AdminServer>cd('/')
wls:/offline/base_domain>cd('Security/base_domain/User/weblogic')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Security/base_domain/User/weblogic>cmo.setPassword('weblogic1')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Security/base_domain/User/weblogic>setOption('OverwriteDomain', 'true')
wls:/offline/base_domain/Security/base_domain/User/weblogic>writeDomain('/home/wls/12.1.3.0/user_projects/domains/test')

closeTemplate()
exit()

After creating domain, you will have startup scripts ready. Run the scripts and follow the screen output;

 
cd ~/12.1.3.0/user_projects/domains/test/bin/
./startWebLogic.sh & 
./startNodeManager.sh &

Use your web browser to reach the admin console, after startup;

Enjoy!
