I am trying to install Oracle SOA Suite 11g but I face the following problem during installation. There are some prerequisites marked as failed. I am wondering why the overall result of the check is not executed. In addition, I have a problem starting the SOA managed server later.
I cannot see the "SOA" folder here
Clearly, if you ignore the checks and SOA does not appear something is broken. You need to tell us your OS version and make sure you adhere to the installation instructions here. My guess is you're on some linux distro. There are many files that need to be installed in many cases on linux to make this work.
I suggest, unless you have to install directly on your OS, to use a prebuilt virtual image to get up and running quickly.
SOA Suite 12c prebuilt is here. Install virtual box (free) and then follow download instructions exactly.
Here is 11g.
Oracle recommends ignoring the results of these checks for some of it's products, although I couldn't find a specific reference to SOA product, you can try to just go ahead and continue with the installation, hoping it will run successfully.
Here's is a reference to Oracle's reference for installation issues -
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e14771/install.htm#BABCCGAB
You can find an instruction to ignore these errors under the 2.1.6 Oracle Universal Installer Issues section, although I'm not sure they apply in your case.

I'm learning Oracle & SQL and I'm doing a project. I'd like it if someone could check the conclusion I've come to as a result of my research and tell me if I'm doing this right.
TL;DR question: i'm using Windows 10 and i want to build a (small) database on someone else's computer that I can access remotely. Do i need to install Linux in order to do this?
My goal: to set up a database on a computer that multiple people (like 3 max including me) can access. I would access it from a different computer that it's installed on.
My reading of the Oracle documentation has lead me to think that I need to do the following steps:
DL Oracle using the Real Application Cluster installation rather than the single instance installation. This is because I want to be able to access the database remotely and possibly use it while another user is using it.
To click that setting, I need to install the Oracle Grid Infrastructure. In order to do that I need to configure the user's environment (source: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18248_01/doc/install.112/e16763/pre_install.htm#BABIBGFA) and in order to do that i need X Windows. To use X Windows on my Windows 10 system i need to install X Server.
Am i understanding this right? Why can't Oracle run on Windows?
Uh, I'm certainly not a DBA (perhaps you'd rather ask this question on SE for DBA), but - I think you overcomplicated it.
In my opinion, you don't need anything of what you mentioned. Not a single thing. No RAC / Grid Infrastructure / Linux / X Server. That's just a HUGE overkill.
Any Oracle database would do, even Express Edition (XE) which has the smallest footprint and would serve your needs. Documentation describes how to share your database with other people on the network, but - this short walkthrough will give you idea of what you should be paying attention to.
I would like to know if Informatica can be used on Windows system ? If so what are the prerequisites?
Both the previous answers are wrong.
Windows 10 is supported for installing the client tools only.
For exact details which Windows server versions are supported, please log on (after initial sign-up if you haven't already done so) to the Informatica Network at https://network.informatica.com ; there's a section named Product Availability Matrices, here you find for each PowerCenter version the so-called Product Availability Matrix (PAM) indicating which Windows versions are supported for server installation and for client installation. You need both, and you can install both on the same Windows server system.
I won't go into this ugly ancient flame war here. Be it enough to say that some people managed to install the server part on Windows 10, but very few ever made it work reliably (in most cases the installation seems to work but doesn't, at latest after the next system restart). I wouldn't waste one single second trying to do so, it's not worth the time.
I am trying to install oracle10g but it comes up with an exception of missing file isqlplus.ini.
iSQLPlus is web-based version of SQLPlus, so I presume that nothing terrible will happen if you ignore this error (presuming that this will be the only error you get during installation). SQLPlus will still work.
Where did you acquire installation files from? The only legal source is Oracle Technology Network's Download section (I'm not talking about Oracle partners nor edelivery); maybe your version is corrupt?
Furthermore, how come you're installing 10g? This is a 4 major versions old database (the newest is 18c, then 12c, 11g, 10g). 10g isn't available any more, and is out of support for 5 years now (unless I'm wrong about it). OK, you may have a valid reason to install it (would you mind to share it with us)? If not, I'd suggest you to install a newer database version.

When I ran the file setup_fmw_12.2.1.3.0_fr_win64.exe,
it gave me an error "Cannot launch the installer (555)".

Even though this relates to the installation of a developer tool, most would consider this particular type of question as generally off topic for stackoverflow. Your question also contains too little information to determine what the problem really is.
However, let's just mention some obvious things to see if it helps you solve your own problem:
Did you try the setup on another computer (or a virtual machine). This could be a good way to avoid the whole problem rather than spending a lot of time trying to fix it.
Did you locate any log files for the failed install?
A quick look seems to indicate that you can find log files at: %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs (%SystemDrive% is normally C:\).
Or %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory\logs for 32bit installers on 64 bit systems).
Found in the troubleshoot section here - have a look yourself too - read from the top.
And the most obvious of all: did you contact Oracle support or search their user community or knowledge bases? Somebody will have seen this problem before. Looks like you need to register: https://support.oracle.com/
A quick search reveals that the Oracle Universal Installer is a Java based installer. Could Java be broken on the box you install on? (looks like the launcher should install the runtime automatically, but this could fail due to special conditions on the box. Try on a clean virtual machine). How to check whether java is installed on the computer.
Try disabling your anti-virus as well before running the setup on the problem box. Some setups even try to access the Internet during installation, and then your firewall could be a problem too. I would hate to turn that off though.
I need to create BPEL process on Jdeveloper
please verify following list of softwares i have used
Required Software
RCU
WLS
SOA
soa_generic_11.1.1.2.0_disk1_1of1.zip
JDeveloper
JDev11g.zip
I got this list from anonymous source, so can any one guide me which setup will work for which role and please refer me for any manual through which we can setup the environment.
thanks in advance..
You can download the components from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html and you can find the requirements at http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E18558_01/fusion_requirements.htm
Your list is almost complete, only the database is missing. Oracle fusion middleware has an awful lot of components, but what you'll need for BPEL is:
JDeveloper - it is actually enough to write the processes. If you also want to deploy and run them you also need:
Oracle Database 11g - to host the BPEL dehydration store and config data
RCU - to create the database schema for BPEL
Weblogic Server 10.3.3 - JEE container for SOA suite
SOA Suite 11.1.1.2.0 - includes BPEL. I dont know any 'BPEL-only' packages
SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.0 - if you want the latest version
BTW don't even try to install these if you've less than 4GB RAM...
If you're looking to teach yourself BPEL you can download the whole suite as a VM from OTN. Find it here. It takes up 30GB of disk space. The docs say you need 3GB but from experience I know that performance is sluggish on a laptop with 4GB (which on 32-bit Windows is actually 3.5GB). Basically the more memory the better. You'll also need Virtual Box.
Obviously for production you'll need to install the components on different servers so this VM is not appropriate. If you want to use BPEL for production you'll need to get licenses for WLS, BAM and various other bits. Even by Oracle's standards, the licensing for SOA products is labyrithine.
