1.2. Operating System Requirements

Operating System Name Supported Version

RHEL (32 bit) 5.3



1.3.Required Packages

List of required packages with minimum required versions for RHEL5.3 (32-bit).

The following i386 packages are not part of the OS distribution media and must be downloaded separately (from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux for RHEL 5.3 and installed manually:

openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386 xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386 binutils-2.17.50.0.6-9.0.1.i386

The following i386 packages must be installed from the RHEL 5 distribution media:←

compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26 gcc-4.1.2-14.el5 gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5 glibc-2.5-12 glibc-common-2.5-12 glibc-devel-2.5-12 libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5 libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5 libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5 make-3.81-1.1 gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1 libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5 libaio-0.3.106-3.2 libgomp-4.1.2-14.el5 sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5 compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61

Additionally, the following RPMs are required for an 11gR1 Database (which is bundled with the 12.1.1 release) on the database tier:

← elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125 elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.125 libaio-devel-0.3.106 unixODBC-2.2.11 unixODBC-devel-2.2.11 kernel-headers-2.6

1.4. Software Requirements



The following maintenance tools must be installed on all machines, and their locations specified both in the PATH of the account that runs Rapid Install and in the PATH of the accounts that will own the database tier and application tier file systems.

ar gcc g++ ld ksh make X Display Server unzip

1.5. Kernel Settings

Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings. After editing the file, use the "sysctl -p" command or restart the system to invoke the new settings. Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in the following table, then do not change the value of that parameter.

The following table lists the kernel settings for Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 5: Parameter Value

kernel.semmsl 256*kernel.semmns 32000*kernel.semopm 100*kernel.semmni 142*kernel.shmall 2097152 kernel.shmmax Half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least

2147483648 kernel.shmmni 4096 kernel.msgmax 8192 kernel.msgmnb 65535 kernel.msgmni 2878 fs.file-max 131072net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range 10000 65000** net.core.rmem_default 262144 net.core.rmem_max 4194304net.core.wmem_default 262144 net.core.wmem_max 262144 *: set using the following entry in the /etc/sysctl.conf file: kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142**: values recommended for the local port range may need to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user's environment in order to avoid port conflicts.



1.6. Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameters

Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set by default to low values when the operating system is installed. These low values may cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this happens, add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file on each server node:

options attempts:5options timeout:15

1.7. Verifying Host Names

Use the following to verify host name settings:

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 5: Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost10.0.0.4 vis.erp.com vis

Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows: HOSTNAME=vis.erp.com

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

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

1.8. Modifying the Number of Open File DescriptorsOpen the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for "hard" and "soft" parameters as follows. Restart the system after making changes.Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in this document, then do not change the value of that parameter.

* hard nofile 65535 * soft nofile 4096 * hard nproc 16384 * soft nproc 2047

1.9. Oracle HTTP Server Patch (RHEL 5)

Download and apply the patch 6078836 from OracleMetaLink to fix an issue with the Oracle HTTP Server bundled with the E-Business Suite technology stack.Downloaded the patch 6078836 from metalink and performed the steps as per readme of this patch.

Steps performed

As the super-user, copy libdb.so.2 to /usr/lib



## mv /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2.6078836 (if libdb.so.2 exist already in /usr/lib)# cp libdb.so.2 /usr/lib

1.10 Link to Motif library for Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (RHEL 5)

Perform the following command (as root on your system) to update a required link to a Motif library 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 Oracle Home:

/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'

Since the ldconfig command overrides this link, the above link command (ln) will have to be re-issued after running the ldconfig command.

1.11. Create Operating System User accounts and starting vncserverOn the server, create the user group (dba) & user accounts for oracle database file system (oravis) and application file system (applvis).

2. Installation Steps2.1. Creating the Stage Area Directory

Follow these steps to set up a stage area installation:1. Log in as the operating system user with sufficient privileges to mount, unmount, and eject the DVD. This user must also have write privileges to the stage area that you set up.2. Insert the Start Here disk in the DVD-ROM drive.3. Mount the DVD

# mount –t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom4. Verify software version (perl).You must have perl 5.0053 or higher installed, and it must be in your PATH. Use the following commands to identify the perl version and its location. perl -vIf perl is not installed, you may download it from http://www.perl.com.5. Run the adautostg.pl script.

# cd# perl /mnt/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl

The stage script message informs you that you may either stage all the Rapid Install Components or selected components only.



5.1. Set up the stage area directory.At the prompt for the stage directory, enter the name of the system top-level directory. The Rapid wizard StageR12 directory will be created in this path.

/stage/R1211_software/StageR12.5.2. Indicate the components to be staged.The script prompts you to choose the components that you want to stage:

1. Complete Oracle Apps Env (11g Database, 10.1.2, 10.1.3, APPL & COMM)2. Database technology stack only (11g)3. Database Only (Vision or Fresh)4. Applications technology stack Only (10.1.2, 10.1.3)5. APPL_TOP & COMMON_TOP Only

Choose 1 (the default), all the main components will be staged.

Creating the Stage Area

6. Insert the Rapid Install DVD.Insert the relevant DVD, as required in the prompt. The system message lists thefiles it has copied and their location in the stage area directory.For unmount of DVD, use below command

# umount /mnt/cdrom

Stage Area Directory Structure



The stage area created by adautostg.pl looks like this: a top-level directory StageR12, with principal subdirectories startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraAS, and oraAppDB.

The number of DVDs (and hence further subdirectories) varies from component to component.

2.2. Starting the Rapid Install

Once the Stage Directory is created, start Rapid Install in the X Manager session which is started as the root user

# cd /stage/R1211_software/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz # ./rapidwiz

Below Welcome screen lists the components that are included in, or supported by, this release of Oracle Applications.



This Welcome screen shows the information about the components it is going to be install.Click Next to continue.

Choose Install Oracle Applications Release 12.1.1 and click Next.This action sets up a new, fully configured system, with Fresh/Vision Database.



Ignore this screen and click on Next to continue the Rapid Install run.

Choose Create a new configuration, then click Next to continue. If you choose Create a new configuration, Rapid Install saves the configurationParameters you enter on the wizard screens in the Applications database, and in a



Configuration file (conf_VIS.txt), which is stored in your system temporaryDirectory until the installation is completed.

Specify the port pool which is free and click next. We have selected port pool as 3.

Choose Vision Demo Database and enter the base locations where the Oracle Applications Database has to be implemented. Make sure that user has the read & write privileges on that file system.



Specify the primary Apps node information in the above screen. These are stored in cofig_VIS.txt file and will be used while installation is performed on that particular node.

Enable the services which need to be run on that particular Apps node. Enable all the services as we have only one node for all the application services.



In the Next screen System will perform Pre – Install checks like port availability, space requirements, etc…

Following screen will be displayed with all the Passes and Fails. If any fails, try to resolve them before going to next screen.



In Next screen it shows the components installation review

Rapid Install displays the following warning when you click Next. Click Yes to continue



Below screen shows the progress of installation



Above screen appears when installation is complete and it displays the post install checks. Check for any errors and resolve them before start using the applications.



Above is the Final screen in Oracle Applications Installations, it will show all the components installed and their versions. Click on Finish.



3. HealthCheck of the Instance

Login to the Oracle Applications url http://hostname.domainname:port/ (http://vis.erp.com:8003)

User : sysadminPassword : sysadmin

Navigate to Concurrent Manager Administer screen and check if all the managers are up & running fine.Run the Ative Users Concurrent Request and view the out & log files to make sure that applications are running fine with out any issues.
