Oracle Applications (12) Installation on Enterprise Linux 4.5
This article is intended as a brief guide to installing Oracle Applications (12.0) on Enterprise Linux 4.5. The article is based on a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux disabled and the following package groups installed.
- X Window System
- GNOME Desktop Environment
- Editors
- Graphical Internet
- Server Configuration Tools
- Development Tools
- Administration Tools
- System Tools
Alternative base installations may require additional packages to be loaded.
- Unpack Files
- Hosts File
- Set Kernel Parameters
- Setup
- Installation
- Post Installation
- Shutdown/Startup
- Rapid Installation Wizard Portal
Unpack Files
Create a staging area for the Oracle Applications software.
mkdir /Stage11i cd /Stage11i # Start Here mkdir startCD # APPL_TOP mkdir oraApps # RDBMS mkdir oraDB # Tools mkdir oraiAS # Databases mkdir oraAppDB
Copy the contents of all the DVDs into the appropriate directories.
Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Set Kernel Parameters
Add the following lines to the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.msgmni = 2878 kernel.msgmax = 8192 kernel.msgmnb = 65535 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 142 fs.file-max = 131072 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 net.core.rmem_default=262144 net.core.rmem_max=262144 net.core.wmem_default=262144 net.core.wmem_max=262144
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:
/sbin/sysctl -p
Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
* soft nofile 65536 * hard nofile 65536 * soft nproc 16384 * hard nproc 16384
Add the following line to the "/etc/pam.d/login" file, if it does not already exist.
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
Setup
The following additional packages are required. Depending on the update/respin version of Enterprise Linux, the exact package versions and locations may vary.
rpm -Uvh binutils-2* rpm -Uvh compat-db-* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-32-3* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-32-c++-3* rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-296-2* rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33-3* rpm -Uvh control-center-2* rpm -Uvh gcc-3* rpm -Uvh gcc-c++-3* rpm -Uvh glibc-2* rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2* rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1* rpm -Uvh libaio-0* rpm -Uvh libstdc++-3* rpm -Uvh libstdc++-devel-3* rpm -Uvh make-3* rpm -Uvh openmotif21* rpm -Uvh setarch-1* rpm -Uvh sysstat-5* rpm -Uvh xscreensaver-4.*
Due to all the package inter-dependencies, it probably makes sense to copy all these packages from the CDs to a single directory, then install then using the following command. For convenience, I wrapped all the necessary packages for an OEL 4.5 installation into a single tar file (12-rh4-rpms.tar), making subsequent installations much simpler.
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper groupadd apache useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle passwd oracle useradd -g oinstall -G apache apache passwd apache
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01 chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
Login as the oracle user and add the following line at the end of the ".bash_profile" file.
# Oracle 10g if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then ulimit -p 16384 ulimit -n 65536 else ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 fi fi
Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Rapid Install Wizard by issuing the following commands.
cd /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/ chmod u+x rapidwiz ./rapidwiz
Follow any instructions and rerun as requested. The Rapid Installation Wizard installation is shown below.

Click the "Yes" button to start the installation.
Wait while the installation takes place.
Assuming all the post-install checks are successful, click the "Next" button.
Click the "Finish button to exit the Rapid Install Wizard.
Post Installation
Adjust the following paths and commands by replacing "play" and "PLAY" with the database name you chose during the installation.
Add the following into the "/home/oracle/.bash_profile" file.
DB_HOME=/u01/oracle/PLAY/db/tech_st/10.2.0; export DB_HOME APPL_TOP=/u01/oracle/PLAY/apps/apps_st/appl; export APPL_TOP COMMON_TOP=/u01/oracle/PLAY/inst/apps/PLAY_testapps01; export COMMON_TOP
To switch environments, move to the appropriate home directory and run the environment script, like.
cd $DB_HOME . ./PLAY_testapps01.env
Shutdown/Startup
Adjust the following paths and commands by replacing "play" and "PLAY" with the database name you chose during the installation.
To shutdown the system issue the following commands.
cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/ ./adstpall.sh apps/apps cd $DB_HOME . ./PLAY_testapps01.env cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/PLAY_testapps01 ./addlnctl.sh stop PLAY ./addbctl.sh stop immediate
To start the system issue the following commands.
cd $DB_HOME . ./PLAY_testapps01.env cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/scripts/PLAY_testapps01 ./addlnctl.sh start PLAY ./addbctl.sh start cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/ ./adstrtal.sh apps/apps ./adcmctl.sh start apps/apps
Rapid Installation Wizard Portal
Once the installation is complete, the Rapid Installation Portal can be accessed using the following information.
- URL: http://machine-name:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
- Username: SYSADMIN
- Password: SYSADMIN
The front screen of the portal is shown below.
To change the SYSADMIN passowrd do the following.
- Log in to the eBusiness Suite homepage as SYSADMIN
- Click on the "preferences" link (top-right).
