Preparing Docker Image from Source

The following example explains the steps that are required to build and deploy the Cycle Web application. Ensure that the docker has been installed on the host machine, where the Cycle Web application container will be built.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation, ensure you have the following components and binaries downloaded from My Oracle Support:

  • WebLogic-supported version 15c (15.1.1.0) installed on a supported OS.

  • By default, the Dockerfile is configured with Oracle Proxy. Please comment the proxy if you are outside the Oracle network or update it as per your proxy configuration.

    # Comment https_proxy outside the ORACLE network

    ENV https_proxy www-proxy-hqdc.us.oracle.com:80

  • Administrative rights to the server.

  • Oracle Insurance Policy Administration (Cycle Web Distribution) v12.2.0.0 Media Pack.

  • Download the required Database driver:
    • Oracle 21.3.0.0 – The necessary driver, ojdbc17-23.6.0.24.10.jar, is included in the libs directory of the OIPA Media Pack. This file is not available for download. Contact your IT department if you need assistance locating these files. (Rename to ojdbc.jar).

      • Note: Version 12.2.0.0 is also supported on Oracle 19c, which is LTS (Long Term Support) and Oracle 26ai. If Oracle 19c/Oracle 26ai is used, the corresponding supported ojdbc driver version shipped with Oracle database should be used in the step above.

    • Microsoft SQL Server – Use the compatible jdbc driver shipped with MS SQL Server software.

    • IBM DB2 - db2jcc4 jar is included with the purchase of the DB2 software.(Rename to db2jcc4.jar)

  • Build the customer WebLogic base image by executing the latest Dockerfile before setting up the Cycle WebLogic Docker server.
