Installation of Oracle Applications R12.1.1 on Linux and vmware

Installation of Oracle Applications R12.1.1 on Linux and vmware

The below article is step by step procedure to Install oracle E-Business suite R12.1.1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 (32-bit) using vmware server 2 on windows 7 64 bit.

This is a single node Installation. (All services will be hosting on same machine 0 db, conc, web, forms etc)

I have Installed it on a virtual machine with 4gb ram, 120 GB of local disk space and 1 core cpu.

- Requires 80 GB of free space for fresh installation (excluding stage area)
- Requires 100+ GB of free space for vision installation (excl. stage)

I will split this configuration in 5 steps:

1) create and configure virtual machine
2) Install linux operating system
3) create stage Area
4) Perform all operating system per-requisites
5) Install oracle E-business suite R12.1.1


create and configure virtual machine:


>> Login to vmware Server console

>> click on add virtual machine
























>> Here i have selected iso image for OS Installation, you can select local cd drive if u want.









>> Now the virtual machine is created and ready for Linux Installation


Install Linux operating system:


Here steps to Install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 (32-bit). The below demonstration is for host orerp3 (another virtual machine created for R12 Installation). All steps are similar for all linux hosts.

>> Follow step by step screens:











































































Perform all operating system per-requisites:


>> create OS group, user and directories:


[root@oraerp1 ~]# groupadd dbaerp
[root@oraerp1 ~]# useradd -G dbaerp applerp
[root@oraerp1 ~]# useradd -G dbaerp oraerp
[root@oraerp1 ~]# passwd applerp
Changing password for user applerp.
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@oraerp1 ~]# passwd oraerp
Changing password for user oraerp.
New UNIX password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@oraerp1 ~]# mkdir /u01/applR12
[root@oraerp1 ~]# mkdir /u01/oraR12
[root@oraerp1 ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01/applR12/
[root@oraerp1 ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01/oraR12
[root@oraerp1 ~]# chown -R applerp:dbaerp /u01/applR12/
[root@oraerp1 ~]# chown -R oraerp:dbaerp /u01/oraR12/
[root@oraerp1 ~]#

>> download and Install patch "6078836" from MOS:


[root@oraerp1 6078836]# pwd
/u01/sw_home/6078836
[root@oraerp1 6078836]# ls
libdb.so.2  README.txt

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5825 Nov 27 11:38 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
[root@oraerp1 6078836]# 


- This is because there is missing library file which is required for R12 Install


>> Run xhost + command to enable GUI windows:


[root@oraerp1 ~]# xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[root@oraerp1 ~]# 



>> Create stage Area:

There are two ways we can create stage for R12
1. Stage using script adautostage.pl from start here CD
2. Manual stage - create directories and copy media as listed below


[root@oraerp1 Dumps]# cd R12.1.1_X86/
[root@oraerp1 R12.1.1_X86]# ls
oraAppDB  oraApps  oraAS  oraDB  startCD
[root@oraerp1 R12.1.1_X86]# 







startCD  - copy Start Here Disk
oraApps  - copy APPL_TOP Disk1, Disk2
oraAS    - copy TOOLS Disk
oraDB    - copy RDBMS Disk
oraAppDB - copy Databases Disk1 to Disk9 


- I have created the stage area in an external drive

>> Install oracle E-business suite R12.1.1:

>> Run rapidwiz from the satge area

[root@oraerp1 Disk1]# cd rapidwiz/
[root@oraerp1 rapidwiz]# ls
adautostg.pl   driver  images  oui           RapidWiz.ini         template
bin            etc     jlib    rapidwiz      RapidWizVersion      unzip
ClientWiz.cmd  File    jre     RapidWiz.cmd  RapidWizVersion.cmd
[root@oraerp1 rapidwiz]# pwd
/media/DATA_STORE/Dumps/R12.1.1_X86/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
[root@oraerp1 rapidwiz]# ./rapidwiz


>> Follow the Installation screens
