Installing Oracle EBS 12.1.1 on Oracle Linux 6 (64-bit)

Env:

EBS: 12.1.1
O/S:  Oracle Linux 6 (64-bit)
-------------------------------------------

Prerequisites:

• Edit ‘/etc/hosts’ file and add the hostname in the below shown format

[root@apps12 rapidwiz]# cat /etc/hosts



127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1              localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

192.0.0.28 apps12.ora.com apps12

[root@apps12 rapidwiz]#

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and configure the kernel settings as shown below. After editing the file, use the
•  “sysctl -p” command or restart the system to invoke the new settings.

[root@apps12 rapidwiz]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf
# Kernel sysctl configuration file for Oracle Linux
#
# For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled.  See sysctl(8) and
# sysctl.conf(5) for more details.

# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

# Controls source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1

# Do not accept source routing
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0

# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
kernel.sysrq = 0

# Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename.
# Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications.
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

# Controls the use of TCP syncookies
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1

# Disable netfilter on bridges.
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 5203054592
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
fs.file-max = 9815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000
kernel.msgmni = 2878
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
kernel.msgmax = 8192
kernel.msgmnb = 65535
net.core.rmem_default = 10485762
net.core.wmem_default = 10485762
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_max = 10485762


[root@apps12 rapidwiz]#  /etc/sysctl.conf/sysctl -p

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for “hard” and “soft” parameters as below.

hard nofile 65536
soft nofile 4096
hard nproc 16384
soft nproc 2047
hard stack 16384
soft stack 10240

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• 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. Add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

options attempts:5

options timeout:15

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create oraInst.loc if not exists and add below entry.

[root@apps12 etc]# ls -l oraInst.loc
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 oracle dba  59 Jul 18 14:02 oraInst.loc


[root@apps12 etc]# cat oraInst.loc

inventory_loc=/ora/oracle/CRP/oraInventory
inst_group=dba

• Create users and assign default groups as shown below. ‘oracle‘ user is the owner of database tier and ‘applmgr‘ is the owner of application tier and these users belong to ‘dba’ group. We follow these notations through out the installation process. Also create required directories and change permissions as shown below.

# groupadd dba
useradd -g dba oracle
useradd -g dba applmgr
mkdir /ora/apps121stage
chmod -R 777 oracle:dba /ora/apps121stage
chown -R oracle:dba /ora/apps121stage
chgrp -R dba /ora/apps121stage





Error: 


AC-00402: Unable to read driver file: /opt/oracrp/db/tech_st/11.1.0/appsutil/template/addbtmpl.drv


Solution:

First of all rename the unzip version 6 because unzip ver 6 does not support staging of EBS 12.1.1 so we need download and install ver 5 for staging EBS 12.1.1

Rename the unzip version 6

# mv /usr/bin/unzip  /usr/bin/unzip6

Download unzip version 5 for staging below the steps

https://oss.oracle.com/el4/unzip/unzip.html

unzip utility
unzip-5.51-10.el5.src.rpm

Installation

• Download tar archive containing unzip utility

• Extract the unzip utility from the tar file
# tar -xf unzip.tar

• Copy this utility to /usr/local/bin


• Provide execute permission to downloaded file using command :
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/unzip

• Make sure you run unzip as /usr/local/bin/unzip

Creating Staging Area (All Zip files in apps121stage folder)


 # cd /ora/apps121stage

 # unzip \*.zip


[root@apps12 apps121stage]# pwd
/ora/apps121stage

[root@apps12 apps121stage]# ls
