This is third and last post w.r.t. R12/12i (12.0.4) on Windows.
For previous post to download R12, cygwin, VC++ Click Here .
To create User and cygwin installation click here
This post covers VC++ & R12/12i installation
.
VC++ Installation
Download VC++ redistributable package from here or full version ( I used 90 days trial pack file name En_vs_2005_Pro_90_Trial.img ) from Microsoft site.
To extract En_vs_2005_Pro_90_Trial.img file, use software like undisker from http://undisker.com
Start VC++ installation from <unzip_location>\vs\setup.exe
.
.
Install R12/12.0.4
Once you unzip all R12 software (zip files), you should see five directories containing software
–startCD (Installer to start installation)
–oraDB (Database Software, 10.2.0.3 for 12.0.4)
—oraAppDB (Vision Data)
–oraAS (Technology Stack for application tier 10.1.2 Forms/Reports & 10.1.3 Web)
–oraApps (Software to lay APPL_TOP)
Go to command prompt and start installation <R12_Software>\startCD\ Disk1\rapidwiz \rapidwiz.cmd
Using above screen you mention that you are installing R12 and NOT upgrading.
Using above screen you select port pool. If you select port 0, then access apps after installation using http:// servername . domainame : 8000 (For port pool 3 use web server port as 8003)
In above screen you specify base directory (Directory under which database tier files are going to install) .
Database Type in above screen is Fresh Database, If you need Vision Instance select default value VISION
Special attention on above screen, In this screen you specify Unix Toolkit(cygwin/mkstoolkit) & Visual Studio directory(vc++) location.
I installed
—cygwin under e:\cygwin hence I used here e:\cygwin\bin
—VC++ under e:\msvs hence I use here e:\msvs\VC (extra care for VC)
As per above screen that Validation failed at “System Utilities” , click on ! mark to see which command failed.
As per above screen, which command is available in e:\cygwin\bin but gnumake is not available (check cygwin installation again carefully, part II R12 installation). After creating gnumake in e:\cygwin\bin directory click OK
Check Validation screen one more time, All pre-install steps are successful this time.
Finally click on OK
Depending on CPU and memory on your server Installation can take couple of hours.
Various stages in Oracle Apps (11i/R12) installation and background executables (during installation) with difference between 11i & R12 installation comming soon..
