INTRODUCTION:

The document is the complete install documentation for EBS 12.2 on Oracle Linux 6. We have tried to get every possible issue and scenario that could arise. Please follow the documentation step by step and you will have a successful install of EBS 12.2. If there are any questions or you would like to contract us out for your EBS install please contact [email protected]

Installing EBS 12.2 on Oracle Linux 6

1. Review the sysctl parameters in note: 1330701.1. If you are using Oracle Linux there are only a few changes to be made. In our case we had to do kernel.sem and limits.conf (/etc/security/limits.conf). I also had to configure /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network. Review below:

Location: /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 142

restart sysctl to grab the changes

sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

You should see output like below after the change is done:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1

net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0

kernel.sysrq = 0

kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1

kernel.msgmnb = 65536

kernel.msgmax = 65536

kernel.shmmax = 68719476736

kernel.shmall = 4294967299

kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 142

Adjust limits.conf now (“*” means default changes) If it is correct it will look like below

Location: /etc/security/limits.conf

# Change made for Oracle EBS install

* hard nofile 65536

* soft nofile 4096

* hard nproc 16384

* soft nproc 2047

* hard stack 16384

* soft stack 10240

Configure your /etc/hosts file is set up correctly. (IP host.domain host)

[root@oraclust yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

10.1.10.97 oraclust.mhaus.com oraclust

Configure your /etc/sysconfig/network. Look that HOSTNAME is there

[root@oraclust yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=oraclust.mhaus.com

NTPSERVERARGS=iburst

[root@oraclust yum.repos.d]#

1. If you have YUM installed it will make life much easier. This is because Oracle has preinstall for EBS and DATABASE. You have to have the packages below in order to not only run the application server but also the database server as well.

Review note: 1330701.1. Install the RPMs below

openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL6.i686 (32-bit)1

xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386 (32-bit)

Additionally, the following rpm needs to be installed from the Oracle Linux 6 or RHEL 6 distribution media on the application tier:

libXrender-0.9.5-1.el6.i686

If not using the pre-install rpm, the following packages must be installed from the Oracle Linux 6 or RHEL 6 distribution media on both the application and database tiers:

binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.20.el6.x86_64

compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686

compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686

gcc-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64

gcc-c++-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64

glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 (32-bit)

glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64

glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64

glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 (32-bit)

glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64

libgcc-4.4.4-13.el6.i686

libgcc-4.4.4-13.el6.x86_64

libstdc++-devel-4.4.4-13.el6.i686

libstdc++-devel-4.4.4-13.el6.x86_64

libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686

libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.x86_64

libXi-1.3-3.el6.i686

libXp-1.0.0-15.1.el6.i686

libXp-1.0.0-15.1.el6.x86_64

libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.i686

libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.x86_64

libgomp-4.4.4-13.el6.x86_64

make-3.81-19.el6.x86_64

gdbm-1.8.0-36.el6.i686

gdbm-1.8.0-36.el6.x86_64

redhat-lsb-4.0-3.0.1.el6.x86_64

sysstat-9.0.4-11.el6.x86_64

util-linux-ng-2.17.2-6.el6.x86_64

Additionally, the following RPMs are required for the database tier (running Oracle Database 11gR2):

compat-libcap1-1.10-1.x86_64

compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64

elfutils-libelf-devel-0.148.1-el6.x86_64

libaio-devel-0.3.107-10.el6.i686

libaio-devel-0.3.107-10.el6.x86_64

unixODBC-2.2.14-11.el6.i686

unixODBC-devel-2.2.14-11.el6.i686

xorg-x11-utils-7.4-8.el6.x86_64

Alternatively you can do the steps below to solve this very easy and be ready for the install in no time

This is the step I did and trust me it makes life easier

Yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64

Yum install oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall

NOTE: If the preinstall is not working do not get frustrated. You have to add the addons to the YUM public directory. Do the steps below to solve this:

Add the lines below to your /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo

[ol6_latest]

name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)

baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/

gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1

[ol6_addons]

name=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)

baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/$basearch/

gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1

2. Link the motif library in Oracle APP server with the command below. (ONLY on Linux 5 or 6)

[root@oraclust profiles]# unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

[root@oraclust profiles]# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

1. Check the correct threading model. It must be NPTL. Do not focus on the number too much.

[root@oraclust profiles]# getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION

NPTL 2.12

1. Create the users and dba group. If you look around everyone says to separate out the DB and APP user. I could not agree more with this. So we are going to do it here also.

[root@oraclust ~]# groupadd dba

[root@oraclust ~]# useradd oradba -g dba

[root@oraclust ~]# useradd oraapp -g dba

[root@oraclust ~]# groups oradba

oradba : dba

[root@oraclust ~]# groups oraapp

oraapp : dba

[root@oraclust ~]# passwd oradba

Changing password for user oradba.

New password:

Retype new password:

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

[root@oraclust ~]# passwd oraapp

Changing password for user oraapp.

New password:

Retype new password:

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

1. Create the directories and confirm space. We also have to create the oraInst and oraInventory. Note: This is very important. Before you move on make sure there is at least 400GB if you are installing VISION DB. The install will fail and you wasted a bunch of time if you do not have at least that for the vision database. If you are doing a blank install you will be better off for now.

[root@oraclust home]# mkdir -m 775 oraInventory

[root@oraclust home]# chgrp dba oraInventory

[root@oraclust home]# chown oradba oraInventory

[root@oraclust home]# echo “inventory_loc=/home/oraInventory” > /etc/oraInst.loc

[root@oraclust home]# chmod g+w /etc/oraInst.loc

[root@oraclust home]# chgrp dba /etc/oraInst.loc

Create the EBS directory and also the stage directory. This is where we will keep all the files we download from Oracle for the EBS install. There will be many and it will take the whole day to download them all. Trust me.

[root@oraclust home]# mkdir -p /home/ebs

[root@oraclust home]# chmod -R 775 /home/ebs

[root@oraclust home]# chgrp -R dba /home/ebs

[root@oraclust home]# mkdir /home/stage

[root@oraclust home]# chmod -R 775 /home/stage

[root@oraclust home]# chgrp -R dba /home/stage

[root@oraclust home]# ls –al

total 48

[root@oraclust home]# chown -R oradba /home/ebs

[root@oraclust home]# usermod -G dba oracle

[root@oraclust home]#

1. Now download all the files needed to create the staging area for the EBS system. This will take you pretty much the whole day to get all these files. Please review below the list of files needed.

[root@oraclust stage]# ls

V18772-01_1of4.zip V35215-01_2of3.zip V35804-01_1of2.zip V35812-01.zip

V18772-01_2of4.zip V35215-01_3of3.zip V35804-01_2of2.zip V35813-01.zip

V29764-01.zip V35802-01.zip V35808-01.zip V39571-01.zip

V29856-01.zip V35803-01_1of3.zip V35809-01.zip V39615-01.zip


V35215-01_1of3.zip V35803-01_3of3.zip V35811-01.zip V43704-01.zip

[root@oraclust stage]#

2. Once the files are all there build the stage area. You do this by unzipping v35215-01*

[root@oraclust stage]# unzip -q ‘/home/stage/V35215-01*.zip’ -d .

3 archives were successfully processed.

[root@oraclust stage]# ls

V29762-01_2of2.zip V35802-01.zip V35809-01.zip V43444-01.zip


V29856-01.zip V35803-01_2of3.zip V35811-01.zip

V29883-01.zip V35803-01_3of3.zip V35812-01.zip

V35215-01_1of3.zip V35804-01_1of2.zip V35813-01.zip

[root@oraclust stage]#

1. Notice the startCD is in the directory. Build a staging area for the install with the command below

[root@oraclust stage]# cd startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin

[root@oraclust stage]# ./buildStage.sh

Screenshots below:

Choose: 1

Choose: Whatever you have (2 for me)

NOTE: I was getting this when I was staging. I basically had to download the files again that had this. I did them one at a time.

1. I installed GNOME here so I just go in and do it from the desktop. You can use VNC if you want. I just find it easier if you go ahead and install gnome and then just change the inittab to run in level 3 after the install.

1. Now we start the install. /home/stage/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz

Note: if you get the error above you have to run the commands below to solve the issue.

Yum install glibc.i686

Yum install libXext.i686

Yum install libXtst-devel.i686

You can also solve this by the YUM commands above. With the database and app preinstall

1. Now that the packages are installed we can go ahead and start the install. I just put that error in because I am sure others might see it. Lets start the install.

Screenshot 1: Standard start screen shot

Screenshot 2: Install. Note: if installing as root, you can’t use express

Screenshot 3: Standard support update screen. It is up to you.

Screenshot 4: Use new unless the install failed. Then you can use load

Screenshot 5: Just take the default ports here

Screenshot 6: Here you want to change the database user and location of database

Screenshot 7: Change the app user and also location. Changed this to the app location separate from the database. This is just for cleanliness.

Screenshot 8: Add the passwords for WLS and Apps

Screenshot 9: Use the defaults for this unless you want to add a server

Screenshot 10: Now the system goes through and does a pre-check before the install

Screenshot 11: I put this on so you can see what it looks like when the pre-install fails. Fix the errors and then hit retry.

Screenshot 12: Once everything is fixed you should see this. Click next to start the install

Note: During the install in the pre checks you might see some errors. You have to fix the errors and then click retry. In my case I had to add oraclust to /etc/hosts and also do a chmod 777 on the staging area. It is basically permission issues to

First make sure the host is correct in /etc/hosts

Second make sure you have the correct permissions in the staging area.

chmod 777 –R /home/stage

1. Post-Install. Once everything is done installing and running you should see a screen shot like this one below.

Screenshot 1: This is the finished install screen. You want all check marks.

Screenshot 2: This is the final screen with connect to EBS on the bottom or finish. Go ahead and test the connection.

Screenshot 3: You should be able to log into EBS and test now. Explore the EBS system and ask any questions you may have. http://oraclust.mhaus.com:8000

2. All set to explore your new EBS system. Let me www.rogerlenihan.net know if you run into any issues. We are here to help with any EBS, OpenText or Oracle installs.
