Hi,

I’m installing now R12 on linux redhat 4 machine. i have enough space (175GB FREE). I ran the RapidWiz and it was interrupted. When i checked the log it looks like this
< <
Enter the location of the CD labeled Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Databases Disk 1 :

Checking Disk contents in - /mnt/temp/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
Checking Disk contents in - /mnt/temp/StageR12/oraAppDB/Disk1
Checking Disk contents in - /mnt/temp/StageR12/oraAppDB/Disk1

Unzip Count:195

Processing Disk1….
….2..3.4….10

Processing Disk11….

Unzip Failed:

Unable to complete install of database
>>

When i checked Disk11 in the stage area, it has many zip files. I did UNZIP -T to test the zip files and i found this corrupted one:

–> unzip -t data_dat1172.zip
Archive: data_dat1172.zip
testing:
tx_data51.dbf bad CRC
50fdc778 (should be defcddda)
At least one error was
detected in data_dat1172.zip.
!!!!

Zip tool version is: UnZip 5.51

I’m trying to replace it by the same file from the original DVDs but couldn’t dind it. Should I manage to unzip it manually? If yes, will it work ?

Appreciate your help
Firas

Hi Atul,
I created the Stage area from DVDs pack from Oracle.

i tried to unzip the file manually, it created the file but is it a valid one as when i tested the zip file (post above) I gor a BAD CRC problem ??
Could i keep the current stage area and change only the oraAppDB/Disk11 ?? How ??

Please advise
Thanks
Firas

Firas,
This should not be the case , I did installation after downloading CD’s from edelivery & it went smooth . You can try copying cntrol file from staging area.

Make sure your prereq. steps are done & you have required zip & other operating system RPM’s

Hi Atul,

Actually i downloaded all required rpms but when i tried to install them. It failed ( Install and upgrade as well) because of conflict with old ones.

Please notice that i have Vision 11.5.10.2 Vision on this server too. Now all old vision processes including DB are down to install R12.

Anyway, it seems that one of the files in the DVDs is corrupted. That’s why i started staging again using new DVDs pack. Of course i have to clean and restart as you said. Hopefully it will work.

Appreciate your help Atul.

Firas

Hi,
Can you suggest which is the best disk partion for Oracle Apps 12i? RAID5, RAID1+0 or keep raw disk and configure Oracle Automatic Storage Management?

Thanks.

Hi Atul,

My Qn:
Regarding R12 installation:
In the PC first you installed Windows-Vista, then installed VMware so it become virtual-machine, then you installed LINUX under the Virtual-machine, then R12 installed under LINUX.

Could you tell me this system is become dual-booting?

When we start the system, is it wait for to select Win or Linux, or Virtual Machine?

Also,
Why you installed R12 under VMware? Is it for RAC environment?

Thanks and Regards,

Jo.

Jo,
I installed VMWare on top of windows operating system & in windows operation system using VMware I created a linux virtual machine (So this is not dual boot) Boot is single only i.e. Windows. each time I start my machine on windows then start VMware software from programs on windws & then start linux machine on this VM software . Advantage of installing this way is that I got windows & linux at same time & I prefer apps on linux

Hi Kumar.

I have installed apps 12 on my laptop using external hard disk as u explained.

I have laptop 1 => windows vista (internal HDD) => VM Ware (internal HDD) = > linux 32 (external HDD) => apps R12 (external HDD).

I have laptop 2 => windows vista (internal HDD) => VM Ware (internal HDD).

1.Can I use my External HDD to run apps 12 using my Laptop 2?

OR

2.If I plug my External HDD onto another Laptop with VM Ware will it work? If YES what configurations are required?

Hi Atul,

I come to know new and good technical things today…Thanks for posting

Mahesh,
In R12 services are started and stopped using opmn on apps tier. Check log files to see which script/component failed and error message associated with that .

Some solution or help from others can be obtained from forum at http://teachmeoracle.com/forum

Atul

Was installation successful ?

Can you start forms server ?

Is forms server Up ?

Kindly raise any questions / issues in http://teachMeOracle.com/forum

Do i need to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL = 2.4.19 for installing Oracle EBS R12 also?

It will work as long as this is on virtual and virtaul linux machine is installed on external hard disk.

If this is actual machine with apps install on external hard disk it may not work when attaching it to other machine because of hostname and various other reason

Hi Atul, Pre install check is successful while i’m installing R12 on linux X86. But post installation checks not starting http , virtual dir, login page, help. Error: RW-50015: Error: - HTTP Listener is not responding. The service might not have started on the port yet. Please check the service and use the retry button.

Hi,
I am registering host in OAM if I want to access application running in my other machine and would like to know is there a way to give access to all the computers in that network ?

Thanks

How to find the apps Password in oracle appslications 12i.

Thanks,MVenu

post install fails in oracle apps r12 installtion plz help

I have installed the App’s, finally I did not see post install screen, please help me should I need to restart?.

And I am not able to configure the VMware tools due to location C header files please let me know where I can get those

Taj,
Step for installing R12 on vm remains same as installing on normal machine.
You have to first install VMware server & on that virtual linux on that linux install R12 .

Steps to install VMware and linux on that VMWare are at http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/03/03/installing-vmware-linux-for-oracle-apps-r12-preparation/

Yes kiran, by default R12 installs oraInventory in /etc/oraInventory in linux and /var/opt/oracle/oraInventory in solaris and hopefully same location in AIX (not sure kindly check)

Tom,
I prefer linux because for windows you need gnu make, VC++ plus other software moreover it is not certified on vista.

Installation on vmware is slow so I’ll not recommend to install on VM image. Try on direct linux or windows instead of VMware.

Hi Atul/any one who reads this

I am installing REL 12 on Red hat linux ES.
I created the DVDS. I am in the process of creating the staging area.

When i run the perl program
i.e
perl /…./complete_path/adautostg.pl

a new window opens and says this

xterm: Can’t execvp /tmp/staging/adautostg.pl: Permission denied

Can you please help me get out of this situation

Thanks,
NKumar

Venu & kguettaoui

How you cerated stagign area ? I am not sure if metalink note 341204.1 Rapidwiz Version: 11.5.10.35 Exit Installation at 30%, on Bootstrap.Cmd is valid but its worth checking

Hi Atul,

As per the steps mentioned by you I hv downloaded and install the VMware and DVDs from Oracle eDelivery for R12.

Can you plz guide me how can I move the DVDs from windows (where I have downloaded the Oracle DVDs) to VMware RedHat Linux?

I’m unable to FTP it. I’m not able to do the staging because of it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Atul,

Burning DVDs is a cumbersome task. I tried using NERO to burn the image of the DVD in the downloaded sequence n used the same from VMware. It worked fine in case of autostage.pl but instead of that I was just thinking of FTPing the downloads in the structured manner.

My WSFTP worked after I installed the packages from Oracle Enterprise Linux CDs (i’m using OEL5, it’s same as RHEL4)

I hope this will also work.

Regards,
Saurabh

Kiran,
This error message is not enough. Check installatio log file and service startup logs.

Services Startup logs are at
$INST_TOP/apps/CONTEXT_NAME/logs/appl/admin/log/
or
$LOG_HOME/appl/admin/log

also at
$LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn

Kiran,
Now you know error message
“/ora/10.1.3/opmn/bin/opmnctl[31]: unlimited: 0403-009 The specified”

so check hits for similar error message like “opmnctl unlimited 0403-009″ in metalink.

I think this can be related to ulimit.

Check if you did all prereq for R12 installation.

If you still can’t resolve issue raise it in forum http://teachMeOracle.com/forum dedicated to Apps DBA’s

Hi Atul

can you please help me in order to solve this issue.
we face issue exactly faced by Mr.Kiran Said while installing R12 on AIX 5.3 TL 6
or if you can send me any contact number for Mr.Kiran Said so i can check with him .

thanks and regards

Dear Atul
thanks for your update.can you please help me how to solve this issue .while starting opmnctl post installation steps in R12 . we received this error
“RW-50015: Error: - HTTP Listener is not responding. The service might not have started on the port yet. Please check the service and use the retry button.”

when i searched in opmn log files using path
“/u03/oracle/TEST/inst/apps/TEST_nmcebs01/logs/appl/admin/log”
we found file adopmnctl.txt and here’s detailed output from adopmnctl.txt

“Communication error with the OPMN server local port.
Check the OPMN log files”.
opmnctl: opmn start failed.

these words is repeated many times and installation R12 had been failed

please help
thanks and regards

Dear Atul
yes i look at it and i followed it. now we got new error message while trying to start opmn processes .
“Communication error with the OPMN server local port.
Check the OPMN log files”.
opmnctl: opmn start failed.

this error is not related to note you mentioned.its new error in opmn log files .

so please help me regarding this issue

Dear Atul
thank you for you help.
i checked opmn.log in 1013 as per your request.i found this error
“08/08/13 22:53:45 [ons-connect] Local connection 127.0.0.1,17006 invalid form factor”. then i tried to compare ports located in two conf files 1-opmn.xml and 2-ons.conf
i did not find any ons.conf located in 1013 only located in 1012 home “./apps/tech_st/10.1.2/opmn/conf/ons.conf”
when i opened this file ons.conf here’s output

$ more ./apps/tech_st/10.1.2/opmn/conf/ons.conf
nodes=appaix02.us.oracle.com:15007
our server name is nmcebs01 and port used in opmn.xml “17006″

its fresh installation on AIX server and we never name it as appaix02
so please help me

Well ons.conf is no more in use from 10.1.3 . I have seen this error “invalid form factor” in past but that was for stand alone 10g Application Server.

To move furter

1. Confirm that Database & Database listener for r12 is up

2. Then shutdown all services on middle tier R12 (adstpall.sh)

3. Clear log files from log directory

4. Start middle tier services R12 (adstrtal.sh)

5. Check logs again

Now raise it in forum http://teachMeOracle.com/forum with error message in log file.

OPS,
To access 11i/R12 from linux client Check this

http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/10/12/access-oracle-apps-r12-11i-from-linux-client-mozilla-firefox/

Is there any error message ?
Check under /tmp

I tried to kick off the installation again. But it is behaving in the same way. I see a directory got created under /tmp/hsperfdata_oracle and a file under this.

This file is keep getting updated but I don’t see anything happeneing.

I tried xclock and I can see the clock coming up on my desktop to where my display pointing to. I see the directory under /tmp but the timestamp directory got created under /tmp/hsperfdata_oracle. When I killed the install session this directory also gone.

Thanks.

Configuration file should be there in format SID_hostname.txt in /tmp and database ORACLE_HOME directory.

so select full path of that directory. If you can’t find that file update here with hostname & SID (used in first attempt) and I’ll give you exact location.

Amit,
Which vmware version you are using ?

for installation R12 on Linux 4, Copied R12 stage from windows machine to Linux (installed on Vmware). When tried to run ./rapidwiz getting error
:bad interpreter: No such file or directory

what is casue? How to resolve this?

While copy from Windows to Linux I used cp command than copy-paste.It workout.

Hello Atul,
I think posted my installation error in a wrong page. Thus posting it again.
I am trying to get the pre requesite RPMs installed in OEL 5.3 for R12 installation as per the metalink note but I am getting the following error. Can you please tell me how to resolve these RPM issue. will be of a great help.

Thanks Atul, I will try the same on

“Enterprise Linux Release 4 Update 7 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32 bit) ”

But during the installation will all RPM be in installation cds itself. I am under the impression that the prescribed RPMs(of Metalink Note: 402310.1) should be downloaded from
RPMsearch.com or google separately and installed.

Hello Atul,
I have downloaded Oracle R12 - 12.0.4 for OEL and unzipped in OEL 5 machine(OS) can I use the same unzipped files in installation of OEL 4.7
Can you please confirm.
Thanks
Muthu

Atul,
Are there any of the following
-OS patches that need to be applied for OEL 4 with update 7?
-Any other RPMs
-Do you I need any pre-install scripts? I saw a post in this forum talking about that. Can you please tell me teh details of it.

Thanks a lot for the prompt responses!!!

I am getting a different error when I restart with and do the mounting . I guess this got fixed after I changed the domain name in the host file

The new error is RW00000 some access issue is coming though complete access is there to that folder.

My RW200019 error was a network problem. The etc/host file was cause of this issue.

Change the ip address from the default one 127.0.1.1 to someother # and follow the same format of ip localhost.locadomain localhost.

ping the address and hostname if both are successfull this problem does not occur

Hello people,

I’m not sure if this is a lame question to ask, are the R12 & 11i installation files free to download from e-delivery? If so is there a fixed time trial period ? I saw that there was some license agreement on the e-delivery site regarding a 30 day trial period or something.
I just need this for learning purposes (Is the VIS instance database also available along with the download ?)

Hi Atul,

I have installed Oracle R12 on my desktop with configuration (2GB, 220GB harddrive). The os is rhel 5. Application is up, however, when I open any form, I get the message, ‘additional plugins are required to display all media’.

For oracle 11i on rhel 4 we used the foll:
#cd /
#rpm -ivh j2sdk1_4_2………rpm
#cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin
#ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.4…../jre/plugins/i386/ns610_gcc/lib
#cd /apps/viscomn/html/bin
#vi appsweb_VIS.cfg
#
#update to 1.4.2 from 1.4.2_04 at two places
#cd /apps/visappl/fnd/11.5.0/resource
#vi appsweb_VIS_.cfg
#
#update to 1.4.2 from 1.4.2_04 at two places
#restart application services and database.

What change should be made in the above? Please assist.

Sujatha

@Jack,
Use below steps to add another 250GB disk to virtual machine

1. Shutdown Virtual machine (Linux)
2. Using vmware add another virtual disk of 250GB to virtual machine (Linux)
3. start virtual machine (Linux)
4. fdisk -l to see new disk (it should look like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc)
5. Format new disk like fdisk /dev/sdb or fdisk /dev/sdc

6. Now use new disk as staging area or installation space for r12

Steps under “Format and Configure Virtual disks ” here http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/07/12/building-oracle-rac-part-ii-install-virtual-disk-and-network-card/

@ Partha

1. Whether it is possible to install Linux x86 software on 64 bit machine? If yes, do we need to upgrade the database to 64 bit? How to achieve the same.

Yes, its possible to install Linux x86 on 64 bit machine. In my opinion install Linux x86-64 kernel (O.S.) on Database Server and Linux x86 on Middle tier .

Then use 12.1.1 Media Pack for Linux x86-64-bit on Database tier and 12.1.1 Media Pack for Linux x86 on Middle tier .

2. Is it required that both the nodes are on same level?

No, you can run database and middle tier on different instruction set machine . You can also run them in to completely different O.S. like one on Linux and other on Solaris (This is called as split configuration)

Hi Atual
I tried R12 windows with MKSTOOL kits.
Getting error while pre-install checks
D:\R12WindowsSTAGE\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz>echo off
‘which’ command is not available. Check MKS installation.
ERRORCODE = 1 ERRORCODE_ENDThe system cannot find the path specified.
‘which’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

But ‘which’ command is working fine on machine.

Could you please provide some reference notes/ links on how to configure ASCP on Oracle Application Release 12.1.1 for single node and multi-node installations?

Thanks

I am trying to install Oracle Applications R12 on my external hard drive with a direct installation of Linux on my laptop.

I am not sure of the configuration of the Host file. The last time I was trying to install R12 the host file contained “one line” of entry with the hostname and domain name. I ran into the services not starting problem post installation.
I deleted everything and starting it again with a new installation of Linux on my laptop ( stupid move, but did due to frustration)
Since I have a bad history in installation, I want to ask this question - should there be 2 lines or 1 line.
e.g.
2 lines
127.0.0.1 hostname.domain hostname and 127.0.0.1 erp.oracle.com erp

or
1 line
127.0.0.1 erp.oracle.com erp

Atul and Team, would be great if you can through some light on this. As most of us who follow are pure novices and not DBAs. Your answers would be appreciated.

Thanks
Muthukumar

Thanks for getting back to me so the generic line with the new line should be present and then just add the hostname and domain name AND HOSTNAME . hope my understanding is correct now.

muthu,
there are two main reasons why you get this error
1) Insufficient RAM on you laptop ( you should have atleast 2gb ram and should have allocated atleast 1.5gb to your vm)

2) second reason is

libdb.so.2 file is required in the process of starting HTTP server.
It comes with compat-db …..rpm from linux.
In RHEL5 or OEL5 the version of compat-db is 4.2.52-5.1 and it doesnt install the libdb.so.2.
And this is may be the cause of this error. so uninstall the compat-db-4.2.52-5.1.i386.rpm and install compat-db-4.1.25-9.i386.rpm.

Hope this helps
Thanks
Anandha

Hi Atul

Are the steps same for 12.1.1 installation?

Thanks,

please help

Thanks folks this TI was very helpful. I resolved the issue. The default host entry “127.0.0.1 hostname.domain hostname” was missing added it and did a little more fixes and made it to work.

Thanks once again!!!

1 GB is not enough as SGA for 11g DB (with 12.1.1) is 1 GB itself, you should have approx 4 GB memory.

Installing on external hard disk should be fine

I tried r12 on 1GB RAM and is working little slow but its working.After successfull Installation I reduced sga_target to 420M and pga_aggregate_target to 400m to give more room to other application processes and is running normal.

I had successfuly install R12.1.1 vison demo but when i loged in with u:sysadmin p:sysadmin I can’t found alot of menu like : General Ledger, Vision Operations (USA) … What was I wrong?

Thanks you very much. Sorry for my English.

Hi Atul,

Could you email me the steps to evp020@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Hi Atul,

I am trying to install R12.1.1 on my HP laptop with 4GB Ram and 500 GB external HDD.

I am getting post installation errors for HTTP, Virtual Page, Login Page, JSP and Help Page.

I sourced the environment and found there is an error which says something like this. I am desperate to resolving this issue.

Hi Atul,

@ Sashidhar,

This could be because of missing kernel settings

Ensure that you have followed kernel setting mentioned in metalink note
761564.1 - Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86

other reasons could be

1. File system type is not one supported by Apache/OHS
2. Ensure that apache is not already running

Atul i have seen the post by you about installing R12 using VM. I have also done the same. But i am facing a new problem now. I am getting the following error.

Login Page
checking URL = http://orappl.orappl.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
RW-50016: Error: - {0} was not created:
File = {1}

though i have not properly downloaded the files so rechecked MD5 values for all the files they are allo correct. Do i need to do any thing else when installing using VMware.

Hi Atul,

I need your help in Printer configuration in Oracle EBS Rel-12.1.1. OS- Solaris 10 (SPARC,32-bit)

I have configured Pasta setup, but yet I am unable to print text files in landscape style.
I am getting printout in Portrait.

I am facing this issue in standard reports.

When trying to print any PDF, getting junk characters only in the printout.

hola, i have succeded in installing R12 on OEL5u4 using VMware. thanks a lot for that !. but now i have strange problem(s)

1.after setting the static IP i am not able to acess internet don’t know what to do.
2. whenever i click on any responsibility i am getting the following message

*In order to access this application, you must install the J2SE plugin Version 1.6.0_07 on your client and NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is set before starting Netscape. To install this plugin, click here to download the oaj2se.exe executable. Once the download is complete, double-click the oaj2se.exe file to install the plugin. You will be prompted to restart your browser when the installation is complete*

But OMG i am using Linux and how do i install a .exe file. Should i download JRE, but how ??? i am not able to access internet with this static IP.

Hi Atul,

Your post for setting up Linux on VMware was very useful and I have installed R12 on linux using VMware. I heard that OEL is not certified as R12 client so i can’t open any forms. How do i setup VMware so that i can access R12 from my host machine.

@Userjp,
Software for Linux X-86 is different from 64 bit so please download 64 bit one if you are planning to install it on Linux 64 bit machine.

Hi Atul,
Thanks for the reply- I cant see my posting above, so I have included your reply..

Sorry for the confusion- let me explain what I am trying to do. I already have 64-bit apps media, that I intend to install on 64 bit linux. My question was - is it possible to
create the stage on a 32 bit linux server and then use that stage to install on 64 bit?

Hi Atul,

I had install application(11.5.10.2) on VM in Linux OP, after login to application form are not opening….giving error as “additional plugin are required to open media on this page” with installation button. but when i click on installation but it does not work on firefox.

I am not DBA .. so ple explain in brife.

Thanka and Regards,
