Oracle Applications R12.2 Installation on Linux using virtual box

Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 is released a month ago. I received too many requests from my followers to demonstrate this Installation.

This is a step by step detailed article for Installing Oracle E-business suite R12,2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit). I've used oracle virtual box for Installing Linux.

Note: 

This Installation is demonstrated on virtual machine with 8GB RAM and Installation completed in 7 hours. I am not sure whether this Installation will work with less than this . 

My Virtual Machine configuration:

CPU    = 1 core
RAM   = 8 GB
HDD   =  380 GB


Software's Required:

1) Oracle Virtual Box
2) Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit)
3) Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 for LinuxX86-64-bit

Installation Steps:
  1. Hardware requirements
  2. Create virtual machine and Install operating system
  3. Operating System pre-requisites
  4. Prepare Stage Area
  5. Install Oracle EBS R12.2 software
  6. Verify Installation

1. Hardware Requirements:

As per the documentation its recommended to use 4GB Memory for database Tier and 6GB for Application Tier (0 -10 users). So if you are performing a single node Installation in PRODUCTION then min. of 10g RAM is recommended.


Table Displays Recommended hardware requirements based on number of users:






2.  Create virtual machine and Install operating system:

-  Follow screens for creation of virtual machine and OS Installation






- Initially configured 6GB later increased to 8 GB







- Change NW adapter to bridged


- use OEL 5.7  64-Bit Iso Image as media
- Power ON virtual machine and proceed with OS Installation





































3. Operating System pre-requisites:

- create OS group, user and directories:

[root@erpnode2 Server]# groupadd dbaerp
[root@erpnode2 Server]# useradd -g dbaerp oraR12
[root@erpnode2 Server]# useradd -g dbaerp applR12
[root@erpnode2 Server]# passwd oraR12
Changing password for user oraR12.
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@erpnode2 Server]# passwd applR12
Changing password for user applR12.
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@erpnode2 Server]#

- Create directories and change permissions:

[root@erpnode2 ~]# mkdir -p /d01/ora_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# mkdir -p /d01/appl_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# chmod -R 775 /d01/*_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# chown -R oraR12:dbaerp /d01/ora_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# chown -R applR12:dbaerp /d01/appl_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# 

- configure kernel parameters (Edit /etc/sysctl.conf file):

#All below kernel parameters are related to oracle EBS - R12.2#################kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.shmall = 268435456

:wq

[root@erpnode2 Server]# sysctl -p

b) Unzip startHere CD for getting buildStage.sh

- Create directory for R12 Stage
- unzip parts of StartHere CD in R12 Staging directory

[root@erpnode2 Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.2]# ls -lrt V35215-*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf   85594608 Sep 24 10:13 V35215-01_2of3.zip

Note:

In Linux 6 there are some post Installation steps for applying patches where as in Linux 5 there are no post Installation instructions.

Hi Zaheer,
Thank you for posting this article. I have never installed EBS on Virtual machine but am going to try it with your article. My laptop has 8gb memory, would that be a problem for 12.2? Secondly it is window 8, would that be a problem? I am going to install vision, is there any problem with the memory.
I also observed in your article that you did not mention anything that running the services scripts like the Db, listener and application scripts to start Db, listener and application.
Please let know your advise on these issues

Hi Pastor,

Thanks for reading my article. Your laptop configuration is fine, You can Install it on your laptop with windows 8 even. But make sure that you configure virtual machine with at least 6.5 GB of RAM.

If you face any issues contact me.

Which version of virtual machine is it ?

The only gap I see here is that you did not specify how you got your IP address, gateway, and DNS information used to configure your eth0 manually.
