Prepare for Oracle Apps R12 Installation

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

Firas,
From where you staged CD ? (downloaded or from Oracle’s DVD pack) source or while staging zip might be corrupted . Unzip manually or download this CD again from edelivery

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

Hi again,

Actually i have unzipped the file manually and the rapidwiz continued. Now when it reached the post-install checks screen, there was a problem in the database availability. When i tried to open the database, i got this error im alert.log:

ORA-00202: control file: ‘/u01/oracler12/db/apps_st/data/cntrl01.dbf’
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
Fri Mar 2 23:20:02 2007
ORA-205 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE MOUNT…

I really can’t find the control files in the data directory or anywhere!!!

Now i’m doing egrep to fetch the stage area zip files and get them from there. Is that OK?

Any ideas?
Please advise.

Thanks a lot in advance
Firas
Any ideas

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,

Thanks for taking time to reply.

I have done all the pre-steps required. Anyway i’ll double check and see. Then i will update this post

Thanks a lot
Firas

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.

Regards
Firas

Hi Atul/All,
I hav an assignment wherein i have to make a report on the problems we could face when we install Oracle Apps single node multi installation(say 3) on a single server. Example we can have problems when we have to login using the same userid unlike unix where we can set bash profile.Would expect some response soon
Thanks

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.

Jayjit

Hi,
I like to install Oracle E-business suite 12i. I have 4 146 GB HDD.
Please suggest the best disk management for this.
RAID5, RAID1+0 or keep the raw HDD 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

Thanks Adul for the answer.

Regards,
Jo.

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?

Yes you can provided you copy virtual linux server configuration file & virtual disk (If any of this is on laptop1)

If virtual server configuration file and harddisk file are on external hard disk then connect HDD to laptop 2 and then create linux virtual machine on laptop 2 using configuration file created on laptop 1 .

For more info check VMware site on how to move virtual machine across server

Hi Atul,

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

HI Atul…
My R12 installation(in linux ver3) was successfull.After the installation i was able to up the listner n database but i encountered “STATUS 4” while trying to up the “APPLICATION(adstrall.sh)”…And cos of this am not able to up the forms on the frontend..

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

Hi Atul…
Now the STATUS 4 error(in Appli Tier) is solved but still facing the same prob… ” FRONTEND THE FORMS ARE NOT OPENING (But Web based icons are opening)”…
Is it cos i made any mistake while applying the O.S patch(linux 3)??

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?

Hi all!

Stupid Question: if I install the whole “stuff” with the base directory in an external USB disk of my Linux box am I able to use it in another Linux box without further install?

In other words, does the installation remains confined ONLY in the BASE directory?

Many Thanks!

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
I gust need to see the result of
fdisk -l , and df on your linux machine
can i ask what you can see on the external usb hard from windows??
thanks in advance,

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.

I have seen this on my instance as well few times and in most of cases this happens if memory on your system is less as darabase SGA itself is 1 GB then memory is required for various other processes so no need to worry either increase memory on system or reduce sga and memory of various other components and try accessing apps http://host.domain:port (8000 for 0 port pool)

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
Kiyas

what is costum product.how can we create this ?

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

Thanks,MVenu

Venu,
I don’t think there is a way to find apps password in R12/12i but you can reset it using FNDCPASS as done in 11i

post install fails in oracle apps r12 installtion plz help

Your startup of Apps Might have failed, check log files or startup script and also check if you have sufficient memory (around 2 GB)

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

Have you tried installing R12 on Oracle VM, if so could you please post the notes?

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/

Hi,
Iam installaing the Oracle application Release 12 (Fresh Install) on AIX Env.I ddin,t see the step where we give path of oraInventory

Whereas for Vision I did see the oraInventory Path

Pls let me know

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)

Atul

I’m planning to install R12 on my vista laptop; I have 2 questions and would appreciate your expert opinion:

In a post on why you were installing R12 on vmware you said you preferred your instance on linux; Is it also because R12 is not compatible with Vista? It it is i’d like to install directly on Vista…..

Second, while trying to research the hard drive you mentioned, the “Western Digital WDG1C5000N My Book Premium Edition 500 GB USB 2.0/Firewire External Hard Drive” product details on Amazon say it is compatible with Windows 2000/XP – no mention of vista; And I’ve been seeing a lot of negative reviews of the WD 500G firewire product – Cnet is saying the write speeds are pretty low. Finally on Vista groups i have also been seeing some bugs with vista and firewire. How was your hard drive performance… At this point would you still recommend the product or suggest a newer product. WOuld you still recommend a firewire drive?

Many Thanks
Tom

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,
I am getting the following error while installing the Oracle APplications 12i on Windows 2003 Sp1 , RW – 50010: Error: – Script has returned an error: 2 returning – 0.
My preinstallation checks were passed successfully , after it is running bootstrap.cmd file completed 33% and suddenly completing the 100% by throwing out that error in the log of temp.
Please advice to resolve this.

Thanks, MVenu

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

Hi;
I have the same problem with Mvenu said to install R12 in windows
Are you reponse?
Help me please

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

Atul,

I’m very new to Apps. I installed oracle R12 on my linux machine successfully. I could access the vision db and login.

Unlike oracle database I didn’t set my .bash_profile; I am not quite sure about my $ORACLE_HOME, OAD_TOP paths. could you please help if i can see those paths from some file or if there is some way?

thankyou – sri

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

Nice Question Saurabh,
Right now I burn downloaded zip files in to DVD/CD and read that CD/DVD from VMware machine.

I am looking for solution to read file system installed on main operating system from guest (vmware) operating system. If I can find solution I’ll post on site, in mean time check vmware documentation at

http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/server_pubs.html

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,
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

we are not able to start opmn services

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

Amr,
We can’t reveal Kiran’s contact detail because of security reasons.

Check metalink note # 555406.1 What is the Significance of Error Message Opmnctl[20]: Unlimited: 0403-009?

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

Amr Rizk,
Did you look at metalink note I suggested above ?

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

Good, so you are a step further.

This message is not enough to debug. Check error message in opmn.log (there should be two opmn, one for 1012 & other for 1013) look for opmn.log in 1013

Also check if DB & DB listener is Up

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

Dear Atul
i searched for same cases in metalink with no use . noone face this error during installation for R12 . so if you can help me you will much appearciated

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.

Hi Atul

I was successes install R12 with OEL5 on my laptop, but for Linux browser’s plug-in process couldn’t get correct install, so I still can not open up form sessions on R12. please help me get this right.
Thanks.

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/

Hello

I am trying to install R12 on a linux machine(ubuntu). I staged everything in a stage folder and tried to start the installation. But rapidwiz is not coming up with GUI windows ?? What could be the issue. I can start my xterm directly from my my linux terminal without any issue.

Thanks.

Is there any error message ?
Check under /tmp

Thanks for the response Atul.
I did check that but I don’t see any error message. I will try to look once again. No error message displayed on the screen. I did put some debug messages in the script. And all checks are passed and it is going upto invoking JAVACMD line in the runWizard.sh script. I am running without WAIT so I am getting the control back immediately. Even I tried with -waitforreturn argument also but it is waiting for ever and no GUI cameup.

Thanks.

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.

You should see directory like /tmp/MMDDHHSS like for 22 oct 19:11

/tmp/10221911

Is that directory available on Unix/Linux ?

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.

Hi,
I installed R12 on Linux Oracle Enterprise 5 on VMware. I did it successfully except that post installation checks failed. HTTP and few other checks failed. After reading some articles it suggested to install some rpms on the Linux. I did that. But now when type
rapidwiz -restart it asks for a configuration file. If i provide servername.domain.VIS:port then it says cannot read from database. And i dont know where the configuration file is. Can you pls help me understand how can i restart rapidwiz and check if post installation checks are successfull or not.

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.

Hi Atul,

Thanks much for your help. I actually found it in /tmp/10260341/conf_VIS.txt .. there is no file by name VIS_localhost.txt in the entire machine i did a find. All files are VIS_localhost.xml. which rapidwiz does not read. But i have provided this file as conf file and rapidwiz has restarted the installation. Will get back to you if need help. Thanks for your help onthis.

Hi Atul,

I ordered media pack for Oracle Application R12 for Linux (32 bit) from Oracle. I did the staging successfully. While running the rapidwiz, all my system checks were successfull. But while doing installation in very 1st step – I got the following error:

Hi,

i have issue with my R11i installation i have virtual box on vista 64 home premium and i have installed winxp professional as host machine and when i start rapid install the installer goes to 33% and then to 100% and vanishes pls help

Hi Atul,

I am trying to install Linux on VMWare on my Dell Laptop. While installing I am getting following error “An error occured – no vallid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check hardware for this cause of thie problem. ”

I did not get correct pointers to resolve except for it might be related to the type of hard drive which SCSI in my case.

I am using 64-bit installation.

Please let me know if you have an idea on this as I am unable to proceed with R12 installation.

Thanks,
Amit

Amit,
Which vmware version you are using ?

Hi Atul,

I am using VMWare workstation version 6.5.1 build – 126130

Thanks
Amit

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?

RW-50010 Error while installing

Steps followed for creating the staging

1) Downloaded the necessary zip files from oracle edelivery
2) Did an scp from windows box to linux box using winscp
3) Copied the files to a location like say /root/binaries
4) Unzipped the files under this location and created the staging area – things are fine so far
5) started the rapidwiz to install – got the following error

RW-50010: Error: – script has returned an error: 126
RW-50004: Error code received when running external process. Check log file for
details.
Running Database Install Driver for PROD instance
with some permission denied error

6) checked all permissions as the error says permission error

– checked to see if we are running RapidWiz as root user
– checked to see if write/read permission on the Stage area (chmod -R 777 Stage r12)
– checked to see applmgr and oracle users are members of group “dba”
– checked to see if Group “dba” is the “default” group for the applmgr and oracle users
– checked to see if The target directory (where you install the application/database) permission is set properly
– checked to see if the “group owner” of the target directory is changed from “root” to “dba”

everything is fine – still getting the same error

now the solution (guess that is how adautostg.pl script builds up the staging structure)

solved problem…Let me explain what i did:

My stage folder was under “/root” directory…
i just used mv command and copied it under “/” and problem is solved!

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

Can anyone share the preinstalled VM image for R12 please?

It would be great if you guys can share it using torrent/ any similar method to ensure that we can download it unattended.

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.

Muthu,
You first need to remove (uninstall) conflicting RPM’s and then install required RPM’s and finally install RPM’s which you uninstalled

option 2: Select all RPM’s at time of OEL5

Option 3: use OEL 4.4 and higher (not 5) and select all RPM’s at time of OEM installation. It worked for me

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.

Nope these rpms r part of oel

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

Muthu as OEL 4 and 5 are binary compatible , its OK to copy unzip files from OEL5 to OEL4.

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!!!

Hello Atul,
I am getting the following error, when I begin to install R12. I found out that I need to check the server setting but donno how to verify that.

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.

Can someone respond please.

Muthu,
Is this at time of checks (before start of installation) or after start of installation (1% or more)

If this is before start of installation and at time of install checks then create “inst” directory including subdirectory and change ownership to applmgr (or user for application tier) user

@Pal, what is umask for root account (umask) ?

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

hi atul,
Sometimes the file downloaded from edelivery shows all the folders in windows but not in Linux or when I unzip. why does this occur and how can this be avoided.

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 ?)

@Natarajan,
Yes R12 & 11i downloads are free you need to register once .

Is the VIS instance database also available along with the download ?

Yes, You have option to select fresh database or vision database (default) during install

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.

Hi Atul,

I have installed oracle enterprise linux on vmware. While executing the adautostg.pl script for staging, I get the error insufficient space – requires 21gb but has only 11gb space.

The laptop has 300gb hard disk space. But how to increase the space for linux in vmware?

Regards,

Jack

@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/

We want to install Oracle EBS 12.1.1 on dual node.
The application server is on RHEL Advanced Server 4 Update (32-bit).
The database Server is on RHEL Advanced Server 4 Update (64-bit).

Please let me know what media should be downloaded from edelivery site. We have two options:

1. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack for Linux x86
2. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack for Linux x86-64-bit

My doubt is:
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.
2. Is it required that both the nodes are on same level?

@ 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)

Thanks a lot for the information Atul.
This would certainly help.

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

Atul
To add further to my previous update, we have a source instance is a 11.5.10.2 instance (already in place) and we would like to have our target/ planning instance on 12.1.1 running on the same node. This would be a non-prod installation on a RHEL 4 Linux x86 32-bit server.
Could you please let me know if this setup is really feasible?
If yes, then which all patched we might need to apply on the source and target?

Thank

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

@Muthu,

First identify IP address of machine on which you are installing R12 (ifconfig) then add like

127.0.0.1 hostname.domain hostname
erp.oracle.com erp

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.

Thanks Atul. I did the installation, the post validation has failed. below is the failed log. I was not able to upload the complete log. I can mail it if needed. Can you please tell me why they all have failed .

I check metalink and did the retry but faled.
The metalink note : 414414.1
removed -DSSL from apachectl
—
> # eval ohs_start -DSSL “$args”
> eval ohs_start “$args”

Can you please tell me how to proceed further.

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

@Muthu,
If there was no errors during installation (and problem is only during post install checks)then you can simply restart R12 services and try again.

Try increasing memory to 3 or 3.5 GB on VM for R12 (database SGA size if quite big)

If there were issues during installation then fix issues (check logs to find cause of issue)

Hi Atul

Are the steps same for 12.1.1 installation?

Thanks,
Mamta

Yes 12.1.1 is similar to 12.0.X installation

Hi Atul,

I did Fresh R12 Installation install on Linux
everything worked fine, then i installed OBIEE.
R12 install is messed up….

I ran adautocfg on Apps Tier run=INSTE8_SETUP, log file has following errors

It seems there are invalid objects related to CM in your database.
Compile invalid objects in database by running utlrp.sql in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin on DB Tier

command to check invalid objects
SQL> select object_name, object_type, owner from all_objects where status like ‘INVALID;

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!!!

Hi Atul,

I have laptop with OS windows XP, 1 gb ram
My RAM can’t be expanded more than 1 gb as off now.

I have got the external hard disk of 320gb with windows XP installed in that as well,and when i want to access external hard disk i would boot from external hard disk,could you please tell whether it is possible to install R12 to install in external hard disk.

considering above limitations.

regards
Satya

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

Hi Atul,

thanks for reply.

One more question, my colleague has installed 11.5.10 with VMware and external hard disk is having installation and he has 2gb ram.

as you know i have 1 gb ram,So would it be possible for me to install 11.5.10(if not R12) in external hard disk and booting from it…and not installing VMware.

Or

Following same as my colleague did.

Regards
Satya

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.

@ Vijay,
Thanks for sharing this information.

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?

Yes you can use same R12 media for 4.5 or 5.0 Linux.

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.

@ Sasidhar

Can you see file system mentioned here i.e.

“/Transcend/d01/inst/apps/VIS_orappl/pids/10.1.3/Apache/logs”

Check if you can write to this directory ?

cd /Transcend/d01/inst/apps/VIS_orappl/pids/10.1.3/Apache/logs
touch abc.txt

Hi Atul,

this is the “/Transcend/d01 is the directory where R12 is being installed and i am able to create files in the directory “/Transcend/d01/inst/apps/VIS_orappl/pids/10.1.3/Apache/logs
also

this is a followup to the previous post.
I am installing R12 on OEL5u4 as dual boot. I am installing R12 on to external 500GB HDD. I am desperate in finding a solution for this error.

@ 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

I am installing R12 on external HDD which is NTFS on linux. i have used fuse rpm so the OEL can detect NTFS. is this the problem ?

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

RW-50016: Error: – {0} was not created:

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.

@ Sashidhar,

Are you not using VMware ?

use ext3 type of file system for Linux .

You can use fdisk to format disk to type ext3

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.

@ Sashidhar,

1.after setting the static IP i am not able to acess internet don’t know what to do.

Is this VMware ? Check gateway on netowrk card on Linux machine is configured correctly.

2. To access forms , all you need it JRE installed in your linux browser (Mozilla or Netscape)

Download JRE 1.6.0 patch 7 and try again

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.

I want to install R12 on linux, and was preparing to create stage area. My 64-bit server is not yet ready (needs hardware changes) and I was wondering if in the meantime I can prepare the stage on another linux server which is 32-bit- Any harm of doing this?

@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.

@ Sasidhar, Forms for R12 should work from OEL . All you need is JRE 1.6 on browser on OEL (like Mozilla) which should come from apps r12 during first time forms access.

For accessing Linux VM from windows machine configure these two machines (guest Linux and Host windows on same subnet )

Lets assume IP of Windows is 192.168.1.X then configure IP of Linux as 192.168.1.Y and then try to ping Linux machien from windows

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?

@userjp,
I don’t think staging 64 bit software on 32 bit linux machine should create any issues .

You should be able to stage 64 bit apps on 32 bit linux machine and then mount this stage area to 64 bit linux and install on 64 bit Linux

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.

Hi Atul,

I installed linux on the vmware. During installation two users were created, but when i login by either of these users they have only 444 permissions and I am unable to update these permissions.

I wanted to create staging area and proceed further for R12 installation, but I am not sure how to proceed.

Also do we have to ftp all the zip files to linux server before we proceed to run the adautostg.pl script

Thanks, Manrpeet

Hi,
I installed r12.1.1 on Linux OEL 4.5 using vmware, i have allocated 3 GB ram to guest OS. I was getting post installation errors. To rectify those, I reduced SGA & PGA to 700M, started DB and Listener manually, clear log files, run adstrtal.sh and then pressed retry button on post install wizard dialog, all services (DB, Config upload, DBC, Env file, HTTP, Help page, and Virtual Directory) started. the only error I am getting now is of JSP and Login page and is below:
JSP is not responding, waiting 15 seconds and retesting
this error coming 5 times and instead of taking 15 seconds it almost takes 15 minutes to respond for next message.
Any Help will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks

How much memory you have on system ?

Click on retry ?

Check if all services are up and running ? If not start them manually.

Things to check
1. If database is up and accessible
2. DB Listener is up and listening
3. Check middle tier services specially web server and OC4J’s

adopmnctl.sh[cmd] status

Dear Atul,

I am trying to Install Oracle Apps 12.0.4.6 on Windows7,

i did all the steps mentioned but when i doubleclick on RapidWiz.cmd The Wizard Window is not opening at all

Can you help me in this

Thanks Tony

Excellent post

Hi Atul,

I installed R12.1.1 on OEL 5.5 on vmware as per the installation instructions and the installation also finished successfully. I can see the EBS login page BUT when I enter the login credentials, it doesn’t allow me to get inside. It doesn’t give any error. I used SYSADMIN/SYSADMIN and couple of other logins but all failed.
I did some debugging and checked many log files incliuding Apache but couldn’t find anything suspicious.

I performed the following debugging –

1)Applied latest Autoconfig patch – 7651166 –> Ran Autoconfig successfully at both DB and Apps tier —> started all the services -adstrtal.sh —-> same result.
2)Recompiled JSP –> changed Justrun to Recompile in context file —> Ran Autoconfig successfully at both DB and Apps tier —> started all the services -adstrtal.sh —-> same result.
3)Enabled Debug—> couldn’t notice anything suspicious in any of the log files—no errors etc.
4) No error log in Apache; access log gets updated as intended..etc

What should I check now?

Thanks,
Vishal

Hi again,

Browsers I used were IE 6 and IE 8 and Mozilla 3.0.

Thanks,
Vishal

@ Tony,
How much memory you have on system ? (disable any antivirus on system)

Try starting cmd as “run as administrator” and then from that command prompt run RapidWiz.cmd

@ Vishal,

Try operations/welcome

or Change sysadmin password using FNDCPASS and then try

You would need apps and system password

For steps on how to change passwords in apps from command line http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/01/23/change-oracle-apps-password-fndcpass/

FNDCPASS apps/apps_password 0 Y system/system_password user sysadmin new_password

Thanks for your reply Atul.

I have already tried that but no success.

I guess the issue is somewhere in the vmware image as vmware is not certified by oracle.
I would probably need to turn on or off “something” in vmware.
I did try to install it on Windows 2003 server vmware image but faced same issue.
And as per your post, you successfully installed this on vmware so probably I am missing something somewhere.
Can you pls highlight anything that I should be taking care of?

Thanks,
Vishal

@ Sani/Ehsan,

This erro is generic forms error which could be because of number of reasons. To find exact root cause check error message in application.log for forms & oacore OC4J at

$INST_TOP/apps/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/ora/10.1.X

Hi Atul

Thanks for prompt reply;

I check and found following error in my application.log

/d01/oracle/VIS/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/lib/stubs/libXm.so.2

now, do copy this file on above path or create soft link on above folder ??

hope to listen from you soon once again

@ sani,
Good , this library file is part of openMotif package.

Please install openmotif rpm as per your Linux Kernel .

For Red Hat/Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 32 bit install openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm

For more info or list of required RPMs check 402310.1 Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.0.4) for Linux (32-bit)

Hi Atul

I really appreciate your prompt reply once again;;

I check following package is already installed;
openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386.rpm

I install your advice package : openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm

and great its working 🙂

Thanks once again

Please advice.

Hi Atul,

I am trying to install Oracle Apps R12 on Linux x86-64 bit.

I have downloaded Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Media Pack v5 for Linux x86 64 Bit from Oracle Website (54 / 53 GB)

I do not have an access to Metalink. can you please help me with the RPM’s required and Kernel Parameters.

Also, Like to confirm, I have placed all the unzipped files in a folder named Setup. Should I directly go ahead and execute the Perl script for staging?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

@ Sunny,

I have placed all the unzipped files in a folder named Setup. Should I directly go ahead and execute the Perl script for staging?

There is no need to create staging, simply put all zip files in a folder and unzip them. It will create 5 subdirectory and then folders under that (This is your staging).

@ jalaja,
1. Copy zip files (R12 software ) to linux machine
2. Unzip all files
3. create a user (or two user for multi user installation)
4. Start installation using root user from R12_software/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz

follow installer screens
