Hi Atul,

Your blogs are the best and easy to understand.

I recently installed R12.1.1 on OEL 4.7 on VMware workstation 6.5.2 successfully. I was doing a smoke testing on the modules and found some problems to start with INV.

I am having problem with viewing attributes of the Item on the Items screen (Items > Master Items , Organization Items) in Inventory.

Before the Item screen opens it is showing me as a Note saying “you must allow access to at least one attribute group”

Moreover when I open Item Attribute Controls form (Setup > Items > Attribute Controls) it’s giving me an exception saying no data found.

I have checked the Organization Access (Setup > Organizations > Organization Access) form and all the setups are correct but still why am I getting the above Note and the item attrubutes are becoming inactive.

Is there any patch or any setup that I am missing.

Thanks,
VijayR

Good News Guys!!! Finally this issue is reolved…

Cause: The components for the Inventory Items screen are not licenced in License Manager for R12.1.1.

Fix: Please license the Products through System Administration or System Administrator Responsibility.

System Administrator > Oracle Applications Manager > Lincese Manager

Click on the the Products under License section and license the Products.

After performing the above steps the Items Screen attributes are active.

Thanks for all the help…

@ Nav,
It is not possible to change from Installed to Shared (shared to installed is possible) via License Manager.

There is unsupported way which is directly update table

_____
fnd_product_installations with column status as I or S
I for installed
S for shared
____

Query to check status

select a.APPLICATION_NAME ,b.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME ,c.patch_level, c.status
from fnd_application_tl a,fnd_application b,fnd_product_installations c
where a.APPLICATION_ID = b.APPLICATION_ID
and b.APPLICATION_ID =c.APPLICATION_ID
and a.LANGUAGE =’US’
and b.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=’PER’;

@ Manju,
Do you get any error when you open forms ? Which browser you are using and what is client OS ?

Reply
Manjunath says December 12, 2010

hi Atul

R12 is intalled on VMware
Host OS :Vista 32bit
Guest OS:Redhat 4AS

it shows plugins downloading but its not connected to internet.

browser:Mozilla from the host.
os: Linux Redhat 4 AS

what plugins will support accessing forms.

AtulKumar says December 12, 2010

@Manjunath,
You are accessing R12 from Linux machine using moozilla . For plug-in it should not go to internet as R12 comes with plugin and browser should download it from R12 server.

Did you try from windows machine (Host OS) on IE ?

Hi Manjunath
I am very new to oracle application i installed VM on my windows7.Can you please tell me how u installed oracle 12i on your VM i was guessing we need some kind of oracle application image for VM.Do you have any good link for installtion on VM box.

Regards
Aye

Atul Kumar says January 14, 2011

@ Aye,
If you wish to use pre-built R12 VM you should have Oracle VM (VM Manager + VM Server)

For more information here

http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2009/12/ebs_1211_oracle_vm_templates.html

Or you can buy pre installed R12 Vmware VM from Focus Thread http://focusthread.com/products/r12-virtual-machine

If you are using VMware VM and wish to build R12 images on your own then let me know what is your Guest OS (windows/linux/solaris) ?

Procedure –
1. Upload R12 software to Guest OS
2. Make sure O.S. prereq are selected successfully
3. Install R12

Check http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/03/03/installing-vmware-linux-for-oracle-apps-r12-preparation/

Steps are for VMware server 1.6, for VMware server 2.0 steps should be more or less same

@ Ayela,
Download R12 software for Linux from edelivery.oracle.com and upload all zip files to linux guest OS and unzip all files . Unzip will create five folders then start installer from startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz

************************************************
Firstly sorry for late reply,
From start
1.Install VMWARE on your windows Machine. 2.Install REDHAT 4.6 or Higher for 11i/R12 or REDHAT 5.1 or higher (Guest -1)
3.Install 11i or R12 on Redhat OS
4.To access forms install XP on VMWARE.(Guest-2) OS
5.connect as remote session to XP and work upon applications.

and About image
1.intially download software from Oracle
2.unzip the bundle.
3.create stage area.
4.create an image copy (use power-iso)of that stage area so that VMWARE can identify the files.
5.After installation of OS,when you need to install applications give the path of the image copy of staged area to VMWARE and start installation by firing rapidwiz but do not fail to crosscheck for prerequisites.

Any further help……!
Always welcome.

so thats all you need i hope

with regards,

Hi Atul,

I have some products in 12.1.3 which I installed unknowingly and would like to turn the status from I to S. I know that oracle doesn’t support switching from I->S but I would still request if you have kind of reliable script that would directly update the table from the back-end.

I don’t have a backup copy to restore as I installed the product during the fresh install and we are in the middle of the developement phase where I cannot afford to reinstall and start from scratch.

Would really appreciate your help if you have any workaround.

Thanks
