    4/18

    ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

    but in my case it just created a broken link.

    I had to use this instead:ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

    Restart the Application and database server.

    Start rapid installation again with $rapidwiz -restart

    1. The installation of E-Business Suite R12.1.1 needs, secure Linux disabled and the following

    package groups installed: ar gcc g++ ld ksh make X Display Server

    I strongly suggest , try to install everything while you are making OEL installation. Its littlehard to try install-add some rpms and other tools on OEL.

    In this article, i assume that you have been installed everything.

    2.The installation size of Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.1 is:

    90 GB for a fresh install with a production database:

    Application tier file system 35 GB (For HP-UX Itanium 50 Gb) Database tier file system 55 GB

    243 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database.

    Application tier file system 35 GB Database tier file system 208 GB (For HP-UX Itanium 210 Gb)

    3. Create stage area folder:

    You need to setups file for can make Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 installation. You can useedelivery.oracle.com site for can download Oracle E-Business Suite the lastest version.

    Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1 setup files almost have 50 GB size(with NLS patch)

    7/18

    1. Edit Host file:

    The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:

    Example:

    [root@test]# more /etc/hosts

    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

    Open your hosts file wiht editor(I will use vi editor in this article),put your info in this file andsave it. In this article my localhost will be test, my localdomain will be helios.com

    PS: If you are using standalone server or pc you can give use any domain name you want.

    But if your server or pc on any domain you must use localdomain.

    [root@test]# vi /etc/hosts

    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

    10.100.x.x test.helios.com test

    2. Set Kernel Parameters:

    Add following line in end of the /etc/sysctl.conf file.

    [root@test]# vi /etc/ sysctl.conf

    #R12.1.1 kern el setti ngs

    kernel.shmall = 2097152

    kernel.shmmax = 4294967295

    kernel.shmmni = 4096

    # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni

    kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142

    fs.file-max = 327679

    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000

    6. Check /etc/sysconfig/network files format:

    Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:

    HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]

    7. If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.

    If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.

    Be sure you have below rmp on your system:

    Oracle Enterprise Linux 5*:

    Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes for Linux x86-64(64-bit) Release 12(12.1.1)//

    OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server (on OEL 5 and RHEL 5 only)

    Download and apply the patch 6078836 from My Oracle Support to fix an issue with the OracleHTTP Server (missing libdb.so.2) bundled with the E-Business Suite technology stack.

    Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be applied beforeinstalling Oracle E-Business Suite.

    8. Link to Motif library for Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (on OEL 5 and RHEL 5 only)

    Perform the following command (as root on your system) to update a required link to a Motiflibrary prior to relinking or patching the 10.1.2 Application Server Oracle Home:

    # unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

    Without this updated link, you may see the following errors during a relink of the 10.1.2 OracleHome:

    /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4'/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__fprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'

    9. Create user and group for installation:

    [root@test]# groupadd dba

    [root@test]# useradd g dba d /home/appltest appltest

    [root@test]#useradd g dba -d /home /oratest oratest

    We will use appltest to can manage Application Tier and we will use oratest for canmanage Database Tier. Our installation folder will be TEST,also our SID will be TEST.

    10. Create folder for Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.1 installation

    Firstly, i want to show you my mount point size of server

    [root@test]# df h

    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted

    /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 355G 55G 300G 6% /data

    As you can see i have 300 GB free space, so i will create my stage folder and my installationfolder on this mount point.

    [root@test]# cd /data

    [root@test data ]#mkdir TEST

    In this article i will make Fresh Installation (Normaly, I f i will make DEM O installation, I lik e tocall i nstallation folder VI S, if i wi ll make fr esh install ation(TEST or PROD) i lik e to callin stallation folder TEST or PROD)

    Give 777 to installation folder

    [root@test]# chmod 777 /data/TEST

    Option 1:

    Create related folder for Application and Database tier(optional)

    If we want to put application tier installation folder together(also database tier instalaltionfolder) together we can create 2 subfolders under my main installation folder TEST.

    [root@test]# cd /data/TEST

  • 8/10/2019 R12 Installation 64 Bit on OEL 5 Update 5

    12/18

    [root@test TEST]# mkdir apps

    [root@test TEST]#mkdir db

    We must give permisson to our user for can make installation of those folder

    [root@test]# chown R appltest:dba /data/TEST/apps

    [root@test]# chown R oratest:dba /data/TEST/db

    Option two:

    Just create TEST folder and give it 777 and use it for installation and application and db tiersfolders will be created under this main folder.

    11. I assume that you will not make installation on server room, you will try to make installation

    on your local laptop or on your pc. So we need to set our xdisplay settings. If this is your firsttime on server you need to start vncviwer services,before start sevices please follow below steps:

    Open /root/.vnc/xstartup file with vi and edit it as:

    [root@test]# vi /root/.vnc/xstartup

    Delete # from below lines

    unset SESSION_MANAGER

    exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

    [root@test]# service vncserver status

    12. Open your vncviewer from your local machine and follow installation wizard (if you donthave this program please download it from http://www.realvnc.com )

    C. Installation wizard steps:

    When you run vncviewer from your local,than you will see installation screens,For can seescreen shoots, Please follow C. I nstall ation wi zard steps part on my previous post which isavaliable here

    D. After Installing or Upgrading:

    Perform the following steps after installing or upgrading to Release 12.1.1 and before allowingusers to access the system.

    Relink Advanced Supply Chain Planning executables (for SLES 10 andOEL/RHEL 5.4 or higher only)

    During the relink phase of the installation of EBS Release 12 (12.1.1) on SLES 10 orOEL/RHEL 5.4 (Update 4 or higher), failures will result while relinking the Advanced SupplyChain Planning (ASCP) executables. To fix this problem, users are required to replace thefollowing line under the Linux section of the $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh:

    CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh'

    with

    CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh -Wl,--noinhibit-exec '

    After making this change, users are then required to run the adadmin utility and relinkapplication executables.

    Installing Oracle E-Business 12.1.1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 64-bit By V.J. Jain, December 2009 ([email protected] ) Varun Jain, Inc. (an Oracle Consulting Firm)

    A portion of this article has been shared on OraFAQ.com

    My Background (Are you Technical or Functional, Apps or DB?)

    I am an Oracle Database Consultant and an Oracle Applications Consultant. My area of expertise formost on-site projects that I personally work on is a Functional role for Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle

    Applications) with a focus on Financials and Distribution. However, I work on remote projects that are notrelated to the E-Business Suite, such as database design, development, XML DB and ETL, performancetuning, etc. I have written many database-related articles and even been a co-author of an Oracle 11gbook. As a result, my skill-set ranges from pure database to ERP Functional. Till recently, I had notdeveloped my skills with system administration or Applications DBA. The goal of this in-house project was

    http://www.realvnc.com/http://www.realvnc.com/http://www.realvnc.com/http://heliosguneserol.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/r12-installation-2/http://heliosguneserol.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/r12-installation-2/mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]://www.orafaq.com/node/2318http://www.orafaq.com/node/2318http://www.orafaq.com/node/2318http://www.orafaq.com/node/2318mailto:[email protected]://heliosguneserol.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/r12-installation-2/http://www.realvnc.com/

    twofold. First, I needed to provide my consultants with a testing environment. Second, I wanted toexpand my knowledge of Apps DBA and Linux.

    I want to emphasize that I am not an Applications DBA and I am not a Unix system administrator.

    Why I think this is Valuable

    As a Functional Consultant, I have the responsibility of translating business requirements from my clientsinto solutions. When designing solutions to business requirements, it is important that the person whoarchitects the solution understands the available components and tiers to the solution. For example, if aclient had a requirement to manage a large amount of XML data, one solution might be (very high level)to load the data into Oracle. I can think of hundreds of other possible solutions based on many differentcriterion. For each business requirement, there are usually many sub-optimal solutions. Ultimately, theability to design an optimal solution depends greatly on the awareness of the solution architect. Anincreased "awareness" increases the number of potential solutions for any requirement and I think thatwithout exception, this leads to the optimal solution. Generally, this will save time and money whileoutperforming the other potential solutions.

    The Adventure Begins

    I started by purchasing a brand new enterprise server without an OS. My first goal was to install the latestrelease of Oracle Enterprise Linux for the operating system and then to install the latest release of OracleDatabase (11.2). My next goal was to install the latest release of Oracle E-Business Suite for Linux x86-64 (12.1.1).

    A few months ago I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4) on the brand newserver. This was relatively easy and being comfortable with Unix probably helped. My next step was toinstall the latest Oracle Database which was (and still is) 11.2. This step was slightly more difficult asbeing "comfortable with Unix" does not translate to "proficiency with Unix". After dealing with a few issues(dependencies top the list), I successfully installed and configured my 11.2 instance.

    In my opinion, the performance of Oracle 11.2 on RHEL5 (OEL) is extremely good. I have instances onWindows, HP-UX, and Solaris; RHEL is the fastest and most stable. Obviously, my experience is limitedto the features that I use and transactions that I perform.

    The Adventure Continues

    Im finally getting around to installing Oracle E -Business Suite 12.1.1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4(RHEL 5). This is being built on an Oracle 11.2 Database and so far things are going smoothly. I'm kind ofsurprised with how smooth the installation has been so far.

    The only bump that I ran into was because I didnt have Xming program installed. I was trying to get theX11 port forwarding (in Putty) to work f or the GUI needed for the Oracle Rapid Install since I didnt feellike hooking up the monitor directly to the server. It worked like a charm once I installed Xming.

    Im looking forward to having a fully functional R12 Vision instance in this hardware/OS/d atabaseconfiguration. From my experience with the 11.2 Database in RHEL5 so far, I have a feeling theperformance will be excellent.

    Installation and Post-Installation Challenges

    Probably my most obvious challenge is that I am not an Apps DBA and I don't know Linux. With thatsaid...

    15/18

    Ever since Oracle migrated from Metalink to Oracle Support, my Metalink account has had problemslogging in. I called Oracle Support to get help with it but after holding for 15 minutes, I had to hang up.Since then, I've avoided calling again and now I really regret not checking the Metalink Notes for theparticular installation that I did. Oracle Apps Release 12.1.1 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 64-bit hasquite a few issues since it is still a relatively new configuration.

    Missing Disks/Files My first specific challenge was during the installation, the installer kept prompting me for the location ofDisks. Since I downloaded the software from Oracle E-Delivery, this was confusing. Eventually, I realizedthat you need to download and extract almost all of the 54 files that are in the Media pack. Originally, Ihad only downloaded the first set of files for the rapid installation. I won't make that mistake again.

    The files can be downloaded from http://edelivery.oracle.com/

    Port Unavailable

    After the installation was complete, the post-installation checks occur. My first failure was that the portwas not available. This was because I already installed Oracle 11g a few months ago. The default port1521 was already in use and consequently, it was not available for the Vision database. I went into myoriginal Oracle home and changed the listener and the tnsnames to 1522 and resumed the RapidInstallation.

    Environment not Working

    I had several issues that were probably related to having a previous Oracle database installation. Thepost-installation step for database availability kept failing even after the port was available. I logged intothe server and tried to SQL Plus into the database but the environment was still set for my original DB.

    After some digging, I found the Apps generated .env file and used it in my session. I started up thelistener, connected to the idle Vision instance, started up the database and RETRIED the post-installation. The error in the log said:

    Finally, I was able to see the login page and log in as sysadmin. I went to open the Applications byclicking on one of the forms and I faced yet another problem. When opening the forms I received thiserror:

    FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalidconfiguration

    Please look into the web-server log file for details Details Java Exceptionoracle.forms.net.ConnectionException:Forms sessionfailed during startup:no response from runtimeprocessat oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException.createConnectionException(Unknown Source)at oracle.forms.net.HTTPNStream.getResponse(Unknown source)at oracle.forms.net.HTTPNStream.doFlush(Unknown Source)at oracle.forms.net.HTTPNStream.flush(Unknown Source)at java.io.DataOutputStream.flush(Unknown source)..

    I looked into the forms server log file which is given below$LOG_HOME/ora/10.1.3/opmn/forms_default_group_1/formsstd.out

    and found the following error

    After installing this, the a similar error appeared showing: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
