Objective

Step by Step instructions to install Oracle Applications R12(12.1.1) on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 are described in this article. This is a single node installation, meaning that the database, all product directories and AD core directories, and all servers (concurrent processing, forms, and Web) are installed on a single node under one common APPL_TOP.

The database node and the Applications node can be installed on the same machine. This type of installation is generally used for small systems or for demonstration purposes. More commonly, the database node is installed on one machine, and the Applications node on another machine. This provides improved manageability, scalability, and performance.

This document will take Linux 64 bit platform as example. And my hardware configuration is

1 Download & Unzip

Download

Official Download Link https://edelivery.oracle.com/

For Oracle Internal User, you can also download from link:https://sac.us.oracle.com/download/index.html

(NOTE: Choose proper platform and 32 bit/64 bit download files)

Download Tips:

Use the following command for Batch download, firstly collect all URLs required and put it in a text file, say download.txt, one URL on a line

wget -i download.txt

(-i means Read URLs from file.)

Unzip

Create stage area – for downloaded installation pack, just unzip all zip files under stage area directory StageR12, eg.

unzip B53824-01_1of4.zip -d /u02/ StageR12

unzip B53824-01_2of4.zip -d /u02/ StageR12

… …

After unzip, File Path in StageR12 like following,

                                                 Also create a directory to store patch files, then as follows showing:

MD5 Checksums

Strongly suggest you perform MD5 check against the stage area.

The md5 checksums for the staged directory structure can be used to validate the software integrity. Do this by running the md5sum program against the stage area using the oracle created checksum file. Note for can observe you have any problem with your stage or not(Corrupted zip etc)

MD5 Checksums for R12.1.1 Rapid Install Media (Doc ID 802195.1)

2 Pre-Install Task

Disk Space

File System Space Requirements for Standard Installation

The total space required for a standard system (not including the stage area) is 85 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 233 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database.

You can use below Unix command to check disk space

df –h

Specific Software Requirements

JDK

JDK 6 is bundled with Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.1.1. You do NOT need to install the JDK separately.

/etc/hosts

For Oracle Linux 4, 5 and 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5:

Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]

/etc/sysconfig/network

Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:

HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]

/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network

If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.

If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.

/etc/sysctl.conf

Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings. After editing the file, use the “sysctl -p” command or restart the system to invoke the new settings.

Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in the following table, then do not change the value of that parameter.

The following table lists the kernel settings for Oracle Linux 4, 5 and 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4 and 5, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10:

1: set using the following entry in the /etc/sysctl.conf file: kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142

2: On the server running the EBS Database, this kernel parameter must be the lesser of half the size of the physical memory (in bytes) and 4294967295

3: values recommended for the local port range may need to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user’s environment in order to avoid port conflicts.

/etc/security/limits.conf

Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for “hard” and “soft” parameters as follows. Restart the system after making changes.

Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in this document, then do not change the value of that parameter.

  * hard nofile 65535

  * soft nofile 4096

  * hard nproc 16384

  * soft nproc 2047

/etc/resolv.conf

Add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the/etc/resolv.conf file on each server node:

options attempts:5

options timeout:15

OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server(on Oracle Linux 5, RHEL 5 and Oracle Linux 6 only)

Download and apply the patch 6078836 from My Oracle Support to fix an issue with the Oracle HTTP Server (missing libdb.so.2) bundled with the E-Business Suite technology stack.

Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be applied before installing Oracle E-Business Suite.

Without this patch, after installation, HTTP Server cannot start.

Link to Motif library in Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (on Oracle Linux 5 and RHEL 5 only)

Perform the following command (as root on your system) to update a required link to a Motif library prior to relinking or patching the 10.1.2 Application Server Oracle Home:

# unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

OS User & Group

Generally for PROD instance, we need create two OS user for installation, one user is used to manage DB, the other is used to manage Apps.

Since our instance is a TEST instance, so for simple, we just create one user to manage DB and Apps, Here we use ‘oracle’ as user, use ‘oinstall’  as group.

# groupadd oinstall -g 2000

# useradd -g oinstall -u 2000 oracle

# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/oracle

3 Installation process

Export Display

To ensure we have a graphical installation process, we can export server to our local linux which have X window system. If your server have installed X window, then you can ignore this step.

(ptian) ptian- env | grep ALTDISPLAY

ALTDISPLAY=rws60004sgd.us.oracle.com:50

(First, in our local linux, Check our local linux’s host and port)

(ptian) ptian- ssh admin@bej301441.cn.oracle.com

admin@bej301441.cn.oracle.com’s password:

Last login: Thu May 31 21:32:49 2012 from 10.182.114.9

(SSH to server which we intend to install EBS)

[admin@bej301441 ~]$ export DISPLAY=rws60004sgd.us.oracle.com:50

./rapidwiz

If you intend to use standard installation mode, you need login as root user.

 [root@bej301441 rapidwiz]#cd /u02/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz

[root@bej301441 rapidwiz]# ./rapidwiz

Then for Vision Demo or Fresh install, will pop up below to check

Will spend almost 3 hours below

LoginTest: http://<host_name>.<domain_name>:port/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

Add Env parameter to .bash_profile file

.bash_profile is a bash shell that is started when login.

For DB user, Modify /.bash_profile, add your DB env file path into it, eg.

. /u01/oracle/mc3yd213/db/tech_st/11.1.0/mc3yd213_bej301441.env

For Apps user, Modify /.bash_profile, add your Apps env file path into it, eg.

u01/oracle/mc3yd213/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSmc3yd213_bej301441.env

Set Start and Stop shell for APP and DB

 Create stopAPP.sh and startAPP.sh under APP owner home (like /home/applmgr) to stop and start EBS, as follows:

stopAPP.sh file:

source .app

adstpall.sh apps/apps

startAPP .sh file：

source .app

adstrtal.sh apps/apps

            Aslo change owner to applmgr of stopAPP.sh and startAPP .sh.

Create stopDB.sh and stopDB.sh under oracle owner home (like /home/oracle) to stop and start EBS, as follows:

stopDB.sh file:

source .ora

addlnctl.sh stop PROD

startDB.sh file：

source .ora

addlnctl.sh start PROD

addbctl.sh start

            Aslo change owner to oracle of stopDB.sh and startDB .sh.

                                       Then we can use these four files to stop/start the DB/APP。

5 After Installation process(Chinese Version)

安装和升级前

如果使用快速安装向导安装或升级12.1.1（无论是新的R12安装或从11i升级到R12），在安装和升级开始前，确保你使用最新的快速安装补丁，这个补丁在 Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 (My Oracle Support 文档 798258.1) 有描述.

在安装升级Oracle E-Business Suite前，请完成所有的操作系统需求，软件需求和其他需求.

升级Oracle数据库和应用服务器 (适用于Oracle Linux 6, RHEL 6 和 SLES 11)

对于那些克隆到以上操作系统的用户，必须根据以下文档先升级源系统的12.1.1环境Oracle数据库到11gR2（11.2.0.3或更高）和应用服务器到10gR3 10.1.3.5:

• Interoperability Notes Oracle      E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) (My Oracle Support Note      1058763.1)
• Upgrading to the Latest      OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (My Oracle Support Note      454811.1)

那些在这些操作系统平台上通过快速安装方式安装E-Business Suite的客户，必须升级在安装完EBS12.1以后升级这些技术组件.

OPMN端口号冲突

为了解决这个问题，在安装和升级前请执行以下步骤:

• 检查端口号6000是否被占用 (“netstat -a | grep 6000”)
• 如果是,你需要在Linux服务器上禁用图形控制台登录程序，使用root帐号，通过以下命令可以完成:
• o       找到使用端口号6000的程序 “lsof -i TCP:6000”.
• 使用 “kill -9” 命令结束之前步骤中找到的程序
• 确保不会再有占用端口6000的程序出现(“netstat -a | grep 6000”)
• 修改文件 /etc/inittab       “id:5:initdefault:” 到       “id:3:initdefault:”
• 运行 “/sbin/init 3” 来重启dtlogin

安装前取消环境变量设置 (仅适用于 SLES 10和11)

在安装前需要取消环境变量的设置（避免10.1.2 Oracle Home安装时注册失败）:

$ unset ENV

安装和升级时

按照文档执行安装和升级(Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install, Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.1.1 or Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Maintenance Pack instructions) 有关的安装和升级情况.

安装和升级后

安装和升级到12.1.1后，在用户访问系统前，执行以下步骤.

对应用服务器10g（10.1.2和10.1.3）打补丁(仅适用于Oracle Linux 6 和 RHEL 6)

安装完成后，用户必须通过安装补丁12415211来升级10.1.2和10.1.3的子库.

用户必须按照以下步骤对10.1.2具体说明从补丁中拷贝文件到特定目录下:

$ cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib

$ cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG

$ cd stubs

$ cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .

$ ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1

$ ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so

当这个完成后，运行APPS.env文件，用户应该通过运行$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/adlnktools.sh脚本重新连接所有的10.1.2的可执行程序来确保make日志中没有错误.

10.1.3的说明如下:

$ cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/lib

$ cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG

$ cd stubs

$ cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .

$ ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1

$ ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so

完成后，用户需要通过重新连接sqlplus运行 <INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/clone/adlnkweboh.sh 脚本来确保make日志中没有错误.

升级Oracle数据库和Oracle应用服务器（仅适用于Oracle Linux 6, RHEL 6和SLES 11）

用户在Oracle Linux 6使用快速安装E-Business Suite 12.1.1，必须在安装完成后参照以下文档升级Oracle数据库到11gR2(11.2.0.3 或更高版本):

• Interoperability Notes Oracle      E-Business Suite Release 12 with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0) (My Oracle Support Note      1058763.1)
• Upgrading to the Latest      OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (My Oracle Support Note      454811.1)

那些克隆一个已经存在的EBS环境到一个新的Oracle Linux 6系统上必须在执行克隆前确保他们原来的E-Business Suite环境已经升级到11gR2 和 10.1.3.5.

应用AS 10g Forms/Reports补丁13579719（仅适用于SLES 11）

应用补丁13579719来解决重新链接Oracle Reports的问题.

对于新装生产环境数据库，手工修复数据dbf文件

对于所有版本的开始安装，包含当前12.1.1.13版本，如果安装生产数据库(参照Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 My Oracle Support 文档798258.1), 你必须运行以下SQL命令来修复某些已损坏的dbf文件:

$ sqlplus/nolog

sql> connect / as sysdba

sql> alter database datafile ‘[full path of system09.dbf]‘ resize 1000M;

sql> alter database datafile ‘[full path of system09.dbf]‘ resize 1500M;

如果通过startCD(12.1.1.13或更高版本)方式快速安装方式，则这个步骤不需要.

重新连接高级供应链计划可执行程序 (仅应用于 SLES 10和11， Oracle Linux/RHEL 5.4 或更高版本和Oracle Linux/RHEL 6)

在以上操作系统中安装EBS 版本 12 (12.1.1)中的重新链接的阶段，将会导致重新链接Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP)可执行程序MSO, MSC, MSR 和 FEM失败。为了修复这个问题，用户必须在Liunx部分中的$AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh替换以下行:

CPP_LDFLAGS=’ -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh’

替换为

CPP_LDFLAGS=’ -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh -Wl,–noinhibit-exec‘

修改完后，用户需要运行adadmin utility 和 relink 可执行应用程序.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH 环境变量

动态库文件作为重新连接和可执行程序的一部分来使用。LD_LIBRARY_PATH变量用来确定E-Business Suite在运行时所需要的动态库文件，这个变量在快速安装向导执行安装时，快速克隆脚本(adcfgclone)在目标系统上执行配置时所需要.

如果你需要修改这些值，使用OAM 自动配置工具来编辑（以’System Administrator’职责登录，点击’System Administrator’，选择’Oracle Applications Manager’下的’AutoConfig’，点击’Environments’子标签）:

在每个应用层的服务器节点上:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH 可以通过以下三种方式设置:

• $APPL_TOP/admin/adovars.env
• $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.2/[CONTEXT_NAME].env, in the 10.1.2 Oracle home directory
• $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/[CONTEXT_NAME].env, in the 10.1.3 Oracle home directory

在AutoConfig接口中, 这个和以下匹配:

在数据库服务器节点上:

在$ORACLE_HOME/[CONTEXT_NAME].env中设置LD_LIBRARY_PATH这个和以下匹配:

设置后，运行AutoConfig (adautocfg.sh)来使其在应用层和数据库层生效.

 多用户安装的网络服务监听

网络服务监听使用/var/tmp.oracle目录存放临时文件。给所有用户在多用户安装写权限，更新/var/tmp/.oracle，赋予777权限:

$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/.oracle
