In this article i will demonstrate how to use latest start CD with and existing Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 stage. Oracle released two versions of start CD since the announcement of Oracle EBS R12.2.
The base release of start CD is 12.2.0.46 then later it released 12.2.0.47 and 12.2.0.48. The start CD 12.2.0.48 is available to download via patch "18086193" . The download of patch is only available to customers who has a valid and active support contract (CSI) account.
This version of start CD include all bugs from the previous releases (12.2.0.46 & 12.2.0.47). Oracle Strongly recommends to use the latest version of start CD for fresh EBS Installation.
Steps:
1) Verify the version of existing start CD
2) Rename/delete the existing start CD directory
3) Download and copy the patch into the existing stage area
4) unzip the patch and verify the version of start CD
1) Verify the version of existing start CD:
Each start CD Disk contains executable "RapidWizVersion", it will display the version of existing startCD.
[root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# pwd /d01/R12.2_Stage/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# ls bin driver File jlib oui RapidWiz.cmd RapidWizVersion TechInstallers unzip ClientWiz.cmd etc images jre rapidwiz RapidWiz.ini RapidWizVersion.cmd template Xpatches [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# ./RapidWizVersion Oracle E-Business Suite Rapid Install Wizard Version 12.2.0.46 (c) Copyright 2000-2011 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]#
2) Rename/delete the existing start CD directory
Rename or delete the existing start CD directory from the staging area. In my setup i just renamed it to startCD_46.
3) Download and copy the patch into the existing stage area
login to support.oracle.com with a valid CSI account and download patch "18086193"
[root@erpnode2 startCD_122_48]# cp p18086193_R12_GENERIC.zip /d01/R12.2_Stage
4) unzip the patch and verify the version of start CD
- unzip the patch in the existing stage directory and patch will create new directory for startCD
[root@erpnode2 R12.2_Stage]# ls
EBSInstallMedia p18086193_R12_GENERIC.zip startCD_46 TechInstallMedia TechPatches
[root@erpnode2 R12.2_Stage]# unzip -o p18086193_R12_GENERIC.zip
- Verify the version of startCD
Execute "RapidWizVersion" command from the new stratCD directory
[root@erpnode2 startCD]# cd Disk1/ [root@erpnode2 Disk1]# ls doc html images rapidwiz [root@erpnode2 Disk1]# cd rapidwiz/ [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# ls bin driver File jlib oui RapidWiz.cmd RapidWizVersion TechInstallers unzip ClientWiz.cmd etc images jre rapidwiz RapidWiz.ini RapidWizVersion.cmd template Xpatches [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# ./RapidWizVersion Oracle E-Business Suite Rapid Install Wizard Version 12.2.0.48 (c) Copyright 2000-2011 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]# pwd /d01/R12.2_Stage/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz [root@erpnode2 rapidwiz]#
- copy patches from start CD (12.2.0.48) to staging area.

Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get everything they want.
As it turns out, these are the EXACT same SECRETS lots of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.
Perhaps that conversation has even occurred IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 on his banking card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"
You've taken part in those thoughts, ain't it so?
Your very own success story is waiting to start. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
