Apps DBA Workshop: Installation of Oracle Applications R12.1.1 on Linux and vmware

Sunday, 27 November 2011

Installation of Oracle Applications R12.1.1 on Linux and vmware

The below article is step by step procedure to Install oracle E-Business suite R12.1.1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 (32-bit) using vmware server 2 on windows 7 64 bit.

This is a single node Installation. (All services will be hosting on same machine 0 db, conc, web, forms etc)

I have Installed it on a virtual machine with 4gb ram, 120 GB of local disk space and 1 core cpu.

- Requires 80 GB of free space for fresh installation (excluding stage area)
- Requires 100+ GB of free space for vision installation (excl. stage)

I will split this configuration in 5 steps:

1) create and configure virtual machine
2) Install linux operating system
3) create stage Area
4) Perform all operating system per-requisites
5) Install oracle E-business suite R12.1.1

create and configure virtual machine:

>> Login to vmware Server console

>> click on add virtual machine

>> Here i have selected iso image for OS Installation, you can select local cd drive if u want.

>> Now the virtual machine is created and ready for Linux Installation

Install Linux operating system:

Here steps to Install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 (32-bit). The below demonstration is for host orerp3 (another virtual machine created for R12 Installation). All steps are similar for all linux hosts.

>> Follow step by step screens:

Perform all operating system per-requisites:

>> create OS group, user and directories:

A question on the OS packages installation, I installed the Oracle-Validated from http://public-yum.oracle.com/ for Oracle Linux5.7 as I installed Oracle 11g database and that took care of the pre-requisites. Not sure that would take care of the EBS' requirements.

Not sure i did update my server with "yum" uility. Please i recommend you to check these packages installaed or not after updating it with yum and post your comment here it will help other fellow members.

Yes, Oracle-validated took care of those ESB12 prerequisites.

Syed Zaheer,

Thank you very much for taking the time to create such an amazing step by step instructions on installing EBS 12.1.1 on a Linux box. You hard work is much appreciated and I will give it a go as I have been searching on the net quite a lot and I have not seen as much detailed instructions as yours.

I will try and install it over the next couple of days and will report back with how I found it.
Thanking you again

Hi Zaheer,

Thank you again.

I have a couple of question, and I hope that you don't mind me asking.

1 - Do I need to add an entery in the /etc/hosts file with my host.domain ip address?

2 - Do I need to run the ./rapidwiz as oracle user?

Thanks again

Faz

By fazmin, At 7 April 2012 at 03:02
Hi fazmin,

You need to have similar entry as below in your host file:

# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.71 erpdb1.orasol.com erpdb1 localhost

2) You need to run rapidwiz with root user.

thanks,
Syed Zaheer

HI Zaheer,

Thanks for getting back to me so quick.

I've followed your instructions and all seems to be ok apart from post install.

I'm getting an error as the login page cannot be created.

Any ideas?

I'm setting up this ebs env on a standalone machine on linux 5.6 and it's not connected to a domain or network.

Been searching the web and some say that it might be because of my /etc/hosts is not setup correctly!!

I have set it as

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.50 ebs.localhost ebs

Is this correct?

By fazmin, At 7 April 2012 at 05:52
Hi,

Your host file seems to be correct.

Just verify:

ping ebs.localhost
ping ebs
ping 192.168.1.50

All this entires should reply

Also make sure that firewall and SE linux is disbaled.

thanks,
Syed Zaheer

I have now got further then when I initially started but I am facing an issue with the JSP not starting post installation.

Hi fdazmin,

Make sure that u have granted proper privileges to all oracle application directories.

I suggest you to:

>Shutdown application services

>Run autconfig on database tier and application tier.

> Check its status (success/failure)if success startup application and try to access the URL.

> If failed then please send me the autconfig logfile.

By Syed Zaheer, At 7 April 2012 at 22:42
Hi Zaheer,

I have already tried shutting down the apps, listener and the database and running the autoconfig on both the apps and the database tier.

I was searching on metelink and Oracle thinks that this might be dues to a corrupted zip files when I initially downloaded, so I'll try and re-download, uninstall ebs and try the installation again.

I'll keep you updated but before I do anything, I'll send you the autconfig logfile and I would appreciated it if you can have a look please.

Thanks again for your support and your help and support is really appreciated.

Without this blog, I wouldn't have got as far as I have done in the past couple of days.

Many thanks for your kind words.

Really its pleasure helping you.

After downloading your software please perform md checksum.

MD5 Checksums for R12.1.1 Rapid Install Media [ID 802195.1]

Please send Installation & autconfig logfiles as mentioned.

thanks,

Hi Zaheer,

The past few days were so frusterating and having only a few hours sleep a day but hey, I finally got there and my EBS in now finally installed and up and running on my Virtual Server on my latop.

I've made lots and lots of mental notes and I'll need to write them down before I forget.

I'll look at my other EBS env on my PC somethime this weekend and will hopefully resolve the issue too.

Many thanks for your support.

I just now need to set up the env variables, i.e. when you type $FND_TOP etc etc, anything that you can give on this topic?

I want to start learning it now :-)

Thanks

Hi Aiman,

Many thanks for your appreciation and kind words :)

As far as space concerned you need to have:

-> min 7 - 10 GB of free space of Operating system

-> 90 GB of free space if its a FRESH Installation

-> 290GB of free space if its a vision DEMO Installation

All the best for your Installation. If you face any issues then do let me know.

thanks,
Syed Zaheer

Dear Zaheer

I would like to bring into your knowledge as well as the readers of this blog, that one guy Anand Kumar copied these steps from your blog and posted on his blog. I was amazed when I have seen his blog this fellow has copied the steps without a single change in fullstop or comma.

The only change which the fellow did is instead of happy reading.. he wrote his name Anand Kumar.

Hello Syed,
I want to use my external hard drive to install apps (due to space restrictions). Does every step you mentioned applies the same way or any additional steps required?

Thanks !

By Anonymous, At 8 June 2012 at 14:19
Hi,

Every step will be same. I've also installed it on an external HDD.

If you want to use external drive in vmware server 2.0 then you need to add datastore prior using it in vmware server.

thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for reading my article.

You need to enable Virtualization technology in your BIOS setiing then only it will allow you to install 64-bit OS.

You may face another problem while installing R12 on linux 6 because R12.1.1 is shipped with database version 11gR1 whihc is not certifed with linux 6.

I would recommend you to Install linux 5.6 or 5.7 32-bit and use 32-bit version of R12 software to configure it easily.

Thanks,
Syed Zaheer

By Syed Zaheer, At 15 June 2012 at 07:00
Hi Syed,

Thansk for your reply...

my pc doesn't support vt ..so i'm downloading oracle linux 5.6 from edeliver...

Would i be able to install R12 64 bit on Oracle linux 5.6 32bi os ???

Thanks!!
Ritz

By Ritz, At 15 June 2012 at 09:59
Hi Ritz,

No you couldn't Install 64-bit software on any 32-bit OS. Same applies for oracle R12.

Hope helps :)

thanks & regards,

Appreciate your assistance...

By Baha Ghanim, At 30 June 2012 at 05:23
Hi Ghanim,

Thanks for your appreciation.

You can find these packages in Linux 5.x media/Server director.

Hope helps.

Syed Zaheer

By Syed Zaheer, At 30 June 2012 at 08:48
Thanks Zaheer for your prompt reply..

I checked /media directory, it's not having any sub folders... just empty directory... any clarifications!

Cheers,
Baha

By Baha Ghanim, At 30 June 2012 at 11:11
Hi Baha,

You need to mount the CD to linux in order to Install these packages.

Hello Zaheer,
That helped me a lot :) ... really thank you ... I was able to mount the image and install the rpm packages as mentioned in your steps...
However, when I came to the point that asks for patching the operating system by patch 6078836, I wasn't able to download it from oracle site with my normal credentials...

Please let me know how can I get to purse my self study oracle EBS (Financial Modules)...

Hi,

To download that patch you need to have a valid CSI number of oracle suppport.

thanks,
Syed Zaheer

By Syed Zaheer, At 1 July 2012 at 01:47
Sorry for bothering you...
What if i dont have a CSI # ? I'm just trying to self study oracle EBS... Is there a way that i could get the CSI # in order to download the patch... I think the CSI # is only required to download the patch .. Is that right?

Your help us highly appreciated...

Regards,
Baha

By Unknown, At 1 July 2012 at 10:02
Hi Baha,

CSI - customer support identification number

This can obtained only by having a valid license from oracle.

Please drop me an email @ zaheer.appsdba@gmail.com i will provide an workaround for that step.

cheers,
Syed Zaheer

By Syed Zaheer, At 1 July 2012 at 22:45
Hello Zaheer,
I would like to thank you for ur constructive support... I was able to get oracle EBS up & running..

A minor issue I'm having.. once I log in as sysadmin and try to instantiate any java form such as define user, I'm getting the below error:

FRM-92120: Registry file http://bg.raso.com:8004/forms/oracle/forms/registry/Registry.dat is missing.

Any clarification regarding this error?

Hi,

Actually the linux client is not supported to access ERP i believe.

Usually i use another windows virtual machine to access ERP.

Please update me form which client you're trying to access oracle erp forms.

Hello Zaheer,
I was accessing it from my host machine (Windows 7) through google chrome... I tried installing java, uninstall then re-install... nothing worked... Then I tried ie and also that one didn't work...

After all, I installed firefox which in turn threw another strange error:
"There was a failure in the form server during startup"

After google-ing and deep searching the net, I found that there's a missing package called
"openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386"

I downloaded the package, installed it and things went smoothly on firefox :)

Hi Muummad sabri,

Many thanks for reading my article.

Yes to do this configuration you need @ least little knowledge about linux.

I would recommend you to install it on windows.

Regarding your issue -: please open a new terminal and try again.
