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:
>> configure kernel parameters (Edit /etc/sysctl.conf file):
>> Install OS required OS packages (rpm's)
If selected all packages same as the above shown linux Installation package selection, then just need to Install the below rpm's:
>> download and Install patch "6078836" from MOS:
- This is because there is missing library file which is required for R12 Install
>> Run xhost + command to enable GUI windows:
>> Create stage Area:
There are two ways we can create stage for R12
1. Stage using script adautostage.pl from start here CD
2. Manual stage - create directories and copy media as listed below
- I have created the stage area in an external drive
>> Install oracle E-business suite R12.1.1:
>> Run rapidwiz from the satge area
>> Follow the Installation screens
This article will be helpful for the beginners who want to learn how to Install oracle E-business suite R12.1.1 on Linux platform on their personal computers/laptops and also for those who want to deploy in an Enterprise server environment.
Your comments are highly appreciated if you have any queries/suggestion in regards with this article.

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

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
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 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?
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

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.
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.
Faz
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.

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
Faz
Its GLAD to know that you've done with installation.
Good news.
thanks.

great work and i appreciate your effort in this way helping beginners like me :)
my question that i have oracle enterprice linux 6 soo when i tried to be step by step with your pics installtion i down because network installtion not appear like your pics and i couldn't make it connect with my physical pc soo i searched for linux 5.6 like yours and i found it at oracle site https://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Search/handle_go with 5.6 giga size just tell if this the should i download .
other thing i need to know how much free space i need to be enough for vm and also source os EBS R 12 because i made partion with 295 giga for vm it's enough or not even not enough can i put R12 Stage in another partion and start installing from it or this is not possible ?
and even i couldn't make the vm but really you made a wonderful explain and a lot pics make it easy for people like me
thanks Syed
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
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.

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 !
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.

I've got a win7 home premium 64 bit
have installed oracle virtualbox
was getting error while installing oracle linux 6 64 bit os...since its giving error due to Processor doesn't support VT even though its 64 bit processor... i will have 32 bit oracle linux installed..
Also for EBS r12 i've got 64 bit installgint... will that work on 32 bit oracle linux or do i need to download the whole buch again ??
Many thanks!!
Ritz
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
Thansk for your reply...

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

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)...

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

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?

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.
thanks,
Syed 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 :)
Cheers,

>> Install OS required OS packages (rpm's)
I stop cause every time the terminal not work as show
[root @ myhostname ~]# instead
of [root @ myhostname Server~]#
How can I initiate the terminal to be like what you shown cause every time I write the command it tells me that this command is not found.
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.

Syed Zaheer
thanks for creating these install steps.
I have created the stage area in an external drive. How do I connect this to the VMware server..
In VMware Workstation we can add host drive as a share.. this option does not seem to be there in server..
