Oracle E-business Suite 12.1.1 installation

STEP 1:

INSTALL ORACLE ENTERPRISE  LINUX

In my scenario it is OEL 5.1 i.e

While installing OEL , do not forget to select following packages :

        X Window System

            GNOME Desktop Environment
      Editors
      Graphical Internet
      Server Configuration Tools
      Development Tools
      Administration Tools
      System Tools
      Text-based Internet
      Development Libraries
      Base

Disable FIREWALL and SELINUX while installating.

[root@r12apps ~]# uname -a

Linux r12apps.localdomain 2.6.18-8.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Jun 5 23:39:57 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

STEP 2:

DOWNLOAD E-BUSINESS SUITE 12.1.1.

You can download it from http://edelivery.oracle.com

Sign in and select :

Click on Go…

And select ….

Click on continue…

Download all files except..

Above files are not needed for the installation purpose.

STEP 3:

INSTALL RPMs ON INTENDED MACHINE…

 As per my machine I installed

       gcc-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm

            gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm
      glibc-2.5-24.i386.rpm
      glibc-common-2.5-24.i386.rpm
      glibc-devel-2.5-24.i386.rpm
      kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.el5.i386.rpm
      libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm
      libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm
      libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm
      libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.i386.rpm
      libgomp-4.1.2-14.el5.i386.rpm
      sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5.i386.rpm
      libaio-devel-0.3.106-5.i386.rpm
      unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm
      libgomp-4.3.2-7.el5.i386.rpm
      unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.i386.rpm

  
      The following i386 packages are not part of the OS distribution media and must be downloaded separately (from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux for both Oracle Linux 5 and RHEL 5) and installed manually:
      
      openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm

            xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm
      binutils-2.17.50.0.6-6.0.1.el5.i386.rpm

However , you can get all the platform specific and rpm information regarding your installation on Metalink ID 405565.1 shown as :

In my scenario I selected document 761564.1 and got all information of RPMs needed to install.

Run

[root@r12apps ~]# ldconfig –v

after you install all RPMs.

STEP 4:

CHECK THE PERL VERSION :

[root@r12apps ~]# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

 Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall

 Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the

GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

 Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on

this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl".  If you have access to the

Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page.

[root@r12apps ~]#

You must have perl 5.0053 or higher installed

STEP 5 :

APPLY OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server

In my scenario it is patch 6078836 i.e p6078836_101330_LINUX.zip  

Just unzip it and u will get below two files

[root@r12apps 6078836]# ls -lrt

total 16

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5825 Oct  4  2007 libdb.so.2

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 4819 Oct  4  2007 README.txt

View README.txt , so according to readme :

I copied libdb.so.2 to /usr/lib

[root@ r12apps 6078836]# cp libdb.so.2 /usr/lib

 

STEP 6 :

6.1)

[root@r12apps ~]# vi /etc/security/limits.conf

And add

  *              hard    nofile          65535

  *              soft    nofile          4096

  *              hard    nproc           16384

  *              soft    nproc           2047

6.2)

[root@r12apps ~]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf

And add

kernel.shmall = 268435456

kernel.shmmax = 4294967295

kernel.shmmni = 4096

kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142

fs.file-max = 131072

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000

net.core.rmem_default = 262144

net.core.rmem_max = 4194304

net.core.wmem_default = 262144

net.core.wmem_max = 262144       

NOTE:

Kernel.shmmax must be half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least 2147483648)

Run :

[root@r12apps ~]# /sbin/sysctl –p

6.3)

[root@r12apps ~]# vi /etc/hosts

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]

6.4)

[root@r12apps ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes

NETWORKING_IPV6=no

HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]

6.5)

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

6.6)

Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set by default to low values when the operating system is installed. These low values may cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this happens, add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file on each server node:

[root@r12apps ~]# vi /etc/resolv.conf

Add:

options timeout:15

options timeout:15

6.7)

CHECK OPMN port conflict

Check if the port 6000 is being used ("netstat -a | grep 6000")

If so, you should disable the graphics console login process on the Linux server. This can be accomplished by logging in as root and issuing the following commands:

Find the process that uses port 6000 by the command "lsof -i TCP:6000".
Use "kill -9" to abort the process found in the previous step
Confirm that nothing is listening at port 6000 ("netstat -a | grep 6000")
Modify /etc/inittab by changing "id:5:initdefault:" to "id:3:initdefault:"
Run "/sbin/init 3" to restart dtlogin

 

STEP 7:

RESTART THE SERVER

STEP 8:

ADDING USERS AND GROUP

[root@r12apps ~]# groupadd oinstall

[root@r12apps ~]# useradd –G oinstall oracle

[root@r12apps ~]# useradd –G oinstall apps

[root@r12apps ~]# passwd oracle

[root@r12apps ~]# passwd apps

Note: “oracle” user is for database and “apps” user is for application and part of the same group “oinstall”.

STEP 9:

MAKING DIRECTORIES AND GIVING PERMISSION

[root@r12apps ~]#  mkdir –p /u01/applR12/inst

[root@r12apps ~]# mkdir –p /u01/oraR12

[root@r12apps ~]# chmod –R 775 /u01/applR12

[root@r12apps ~]# chmod –R 775 /u01/oraR12

[root@r12apps ~]# chown –R apps:oinstall /u01/applR12

[root@r12apps ~]# chown –R oracle:oinstall /u01/oraR12

STEP 10:

INSTALL E-BUSINESS SUITE R12.1.1

10.1)

After you unzip all the files downloaded at step no. 2

You will get 5 folders:

In my scenario , I copied all the above software into USB and mounted it on my linux machine at location /u01/media :

First I ran fdisk –l

After knowing the my USB is at /dev/sdb1, I executed

[root@r12apps ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /u01/media

10.2)

Running the installer :

[root@r12apps ~]# cd /u01/media/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz

[root@r12apps ~]# ./rapidwiz

So, after this finishes, just login :

http://<hostname>.localdomain:8000

or

http://<hostname>.localdomain:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

and you will get:
