Oracle Applications R12.2 Installation on Linux using virtual box

Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 is released a month ago. I received too many requests from my followers to demonstrate this Installation.

This is a step by step detailed article for Installing Oracle E-business suite R12,2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit). I've used oracle virtual box for Installing Linux.

Note: 


This Installation is demonstrated on virtual machine with 8GB RAM and Installation completed in 7 hours. I am not sure whether this Installation will work with less than this . 

My Virtual Machine configuration:

CPU    = 1 core
RAM   = 8 GB
HDD   =  380 GB


Software's Required:

1) Oracle Virtual Box
2) Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit)
3) Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 for LinuxX86-64-bit

Installation Steps:
  1. Hardware requirements
  2. Create virtual machine and Install operating system
  3. Operating System pre-requisites
  4. Prepare Stage Area
  5. Install Oracle EBS R12.2 software
  6. Verify Installation

1. Hardware Requirements:

As per the documentation its recommended to use 4GB Memory for database Tier and 6GB for Application Tier (0 -10 users). So if you are performing a single node Installation in PRODUCTION then min. of 10g RAM is recommended.


Table Displays Recommended hardware requirements based on number of users:





2.  Create virtual machine and Install operating system:

-  Follow screens for creation of virtual machine and OS Installation






- Initially configured 6GB later increased to 8 GB







- Change NW adapter to bridged


- use OEL 5.7  64-Bit Iso Image as media
- Power ON virtual machine and proceed with OS Installation





































3. Operating System pre-requisites:

- create OS group, user and directories:

[root@erpnode2 Server]# groupadd dbaerp
[root@erpnode2 Server]# useradd -g dbaerp oraR12
[root@erpnode2 Server]# useradd -g dbaerp applR12
[root@erpnode2 Server]# passwd oraR12
Changing password for user oraR12.
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@erpnode2 Server]# passwd applR12
Changing password for user applR12.
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@erpnode2 Server]#

- Create directories and change permissions:

[root@erpnode2 ~]# mkdir -p /d01/ora_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# mkdir -p /d01/appl_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# chmod -R 775 /d01/*_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# chown -R oraR12:dbaerp /d01/ora_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# chown -R applR12:dbaerp /d01/appl_prod
[root@erpnode2 ~]# 

- configure kernel parameters (Edit /etc/sysctl.conf file):

#All below kernel parameters are related to oracle EBS - R12.2#################kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.shmall = 268435456
kernel.shmmax = 429496729
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142

:wq

[root@erpnode2 Server]# sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

If you download all files then you may get error while Installing "Fatal Error: TXK Install Service"

b) Unzip startHere CD for getting buildStage.sh

- Create directory for R12 Stage
- unzip parts of StartHere CD in R12 Staging directory

[root@erpnode2 Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.2]# ls -lrt V35215-*
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf   85594608 Sep 24 10:13 V35215-01_2of3.zip
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf  101976210 Sep 24 10:17 V35215-01_3of3.zip
-rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 1409220447 Sep 24 12:55 V35215-01_1of3.zip
[root@erpnode1 Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.2]# unzip V35215-01_1of3.zip

- After unzipping all three parts it will create directory startCD 

c) Execute bulildStage.sh script for creating Stage:

- This script will be located under "startCD > rapidwiz > bin

[root@erpnode2 Disk1]# cd rapidwiz/

6. Verify Installation:

Login to OAM > Dashboard 

  - Here its just listing Admin, database and concurrent manger server. Middle Tier services are managed with weblogic server (New Option R12.2)


- Login to weblogic console to verify middle layer services



- EBS_domain_PROD is Oracle EBS R12.2 domain



- All middle Tier services are now managed in weblogic domain "EBS_domain_PROD" (New option - R12.2)



- If we check status of opmn process its just listing the domain of weblogic server (New Option - R12.2)

I hope this post will be helpful for beginners and experienced DBA's as well who are willing to Install this release in their environments.

Note:

In Linux 6 there are some post Installation steps for applying patches where as in Linux 5 there are no post Installation instructions.
