Oracle EBS R12.2.x Vision Instance Installation

This is a step by step detailed article for Installing Oracle E-business suite R12.2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit) Operating System.
Minimum Hardware requirement to install Oracle EBS 12.2.x version is:
CPU=2 cores
RAM=8GB
HDD=400GB for Vision Instance or HDD=200GB for Fresh Production Instance.

Firstly prepare a Hardware or a Virtual machine with the above configuration and with Operating system of Oracle Linux 5.7 64-bit installed.

Then follow the below installation steps,

1. OS Pre-requisites
2. Prepare Stage Area
3. Install Oracle EBS R12.2 software
4. Verify Installation

1. OS Pre-requisites
- create OS group, user and directories:
[root@ed-olerplin1 home]# groupadd -g 501 oinstall
[root@ed-olerplin1 home]# groupadd -g 502 dba
[root@ed-olerplin1 home]# useradd -u 555 -g oinstall -G dba soradba
[root@ed-olerplin1 home]# passwd soradba
[root@ed-olerplin1 home]# useradd -u 556 -g oinstall -G dba sapplmgr
[root@ed-olerplin1 home]# passwd sapplmgr

- Create directories and change permissions:

[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# mkdir -p /u04/vis_ora
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# mkdir -p /u04/vis_appl
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# chmod -R 775 /u04/vis_*
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# chown -R soradba:dba /u04/vis_ora
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# chown -R sapplmgr:dba /u04/vis_appl
- configure kernel parameters (Edit /etc/sysctl.conf file):

#All below kernel parameters are related to oracle EBS12.2
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.shmall = 268435456
kernel.shmmax = 429496729
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
fs.file-max = 327679
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 4194304


[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# sysctl -p

Now edit /etc/sysctl.conf file for soradba & sapplmgr users,
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# vi /etc/security/limits.conf

# Oracle-Validated setting for nofile soft limit is 131072
soradba   soft   nofile    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for nofile hard limit is 131072
soradba   hard   nofile    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for nproc soft limit is 131072
soradba   soft   nproc    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for nproc hard limit is 131072
soradba   hard   nproc    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for core soft limit is unlimited
soradba   soft   core    unlimited
# Oracle-Validated setting for core hard limit is unlimited
soradba   hard   core    unlimited
# Oracle-Validated setting for memlock soft limit is 50000000
soradba   soft   memlock    50000000
# Oracle-Validated setting for memlock hard limit is 50000000
soradba   hard   memlock    50000000


# Oracle-Validated setting for nofile soft limit is 131072
sapplmgr   soft   nofile    131072

# Oracle-Validated setting for nofile hard limit is 131072
sapplmgr   hard   nofile    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for nproc soft limit is 131072
sapplmgr   soft   nproc    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for nproc hard limit is 131072
sapplmgr   hard   nproc    131072
# Oracle-Validated setting for core soft limit is unlimited
sapplmgr   soft   core    unlimited
# Oracle-Validated setting for core hard limit is unlimited
sapplmgr   hard   core    unlimited
# Oracle-Validated setting for memlock soft limit is 50000000
sapplmgr   soft   memlock    50000000
# Oracle-Validated setting for memlock hard limit is 50000000
sapplmgr   hard   memlock    50000000

- swap memory should be 16GB or more
- Verify /etc/hosts file. It should be configured with fully qualified domain name

- Create Inventory and Grant 775 permission to Inventory directory,
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# more /etc/oraInst.locinventory_loc=/u04/vis_ora/oraInventory
- Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
[root@ed-olerplin1 ~]# more /etc/sysconfig/networkNETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=ed-olerplin1.oracle.com


- Create soft link for library as below for 10.1.2 Server:
[root@ed-olerplin1 lib]# ln -s libXtst.so.6.1.0 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

[root@ed-olerplin1 lib]# ls -ltr /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 18  2014 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 -> libXtst.so.6.1.0
- Threading model in Linux should be NPTL
[root@ed-olerplin1 lib]#  getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSIONNPTL 2.5

3. Install Oracle EBS R12.2 software

Now start the EBS 12.2 installation by running rapidwiz utility as root user.
[root@ed-olerplin1 stageR1225]# ./rapidwiz

Screen 1: Welcome Screen
Screen 2: Select Radio Button "Install Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0"  
Screen 3: Oracle Configuration Manager Details
 Screen 4: Select Radio Button "Create a new Configuration"
Screen 5: Global System Settings. This is the new option introduced in R12.2, you can select different ports on 2 File systems i.e., for the Dual File System.

It is important to distinguish between the Dual file system (fs1 or fs2) itself and its current role, which alternates between 'patch' and 'run' with every patching cycle.

Along with fs1 and fs2, there needs to be a non-editioned file system  (fs_ne), which is used to store files containing data that is needed across all file systems.
The non-editioned file system is designed to store files which will never be changed by run and patch file system life cycles.The most notable examples of this are transactional data and certain log files.
Screen 6: Database Node details

 Screen 9: Nodes Information
Screen 10: Validate System Configuration

 Screen 13: Validate Completed Installation
 Screen 14: Finish screen
4. Verify Installation:  Now we can launch the application URL http://ed-olerplin1.oracle.com:8010


Login to Weblogic Console to verify middle layer services:
In VIS_ed-olerplin1.xml context file check the value for 's_wls_adminport' variable to get the weblogic console port. Context file is in /u01/vis_ora/fs1/inst/apps/VIS_oiamsrv1/appl/admin directory.
<wls_adminport oa_var="s_wls_adminport" oa_type="PORT" base="7001" step="1" range="-1" label="WLS Admin Server Port">7011</wls_adminport>

From EBS Application you can start the Weblogic Console as follows,
System Administrator (Responsibility)-->Oracle Applications Manager-->Hosts (Link)-->Site Map-->Monitoring (Tab)-->Weblogic Administration Console

URL: http://ed-olerplin1.oracle.com:7011/console
Login as weblogic user.
All middle Tier services are now managed in weblogic domain "EBS_domain_VIS" (New option - R12.2)

[sapplmgr@ed-olerplin1 scripts]$ cd /u04/vis_ora/fs1/inst/apps/VIS_ed-olerplin1/admin/scripts
[sapplmgr@ed-olerplin1 scripts]$ sh adopmnctl.sh status -l
You are running adopmnctl.sh version 120.0.12020000.2

Note that in above output, when we check status of opmn process its just listing the domain of weblogic server (New Option - R12.2)

I hope this article is helpful to you to prepare an EBS 12.2 Vision Instance.
