Download the software from http://edelivery.oracle.com. It comes in zip format.


 

NETWORKING

Please add the below format foe the /etc/host file

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

It is recommended to use 4GB of memory for the database and 6GB for the application (0 -10 users). So, for a single node installation in PRODUCTION, a minimum of 10g RAM is recommended.

The table below shows the recommended hardware requirements based on the number of users.


OS User and Group Creation

# groupadd dba

# useradd -g dba oracle

# useradd -g dba applmgr

# passwd oracle

Directory Creation

# mkdir -p /u01/oracle

# mkdir -p /u01/applmgr

# chmod -R 775 /u01/*

# chown -R oracle:dba /u01/oracle

# chown -R applmgr:dba /u01/applmgr

VERIFYING HOST NAMES

1. vi /etc/hosts

2. vi /etc/sysconfig/network

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

4. vi /etc/security/limits.conf  - file and change the existing values for "hard" and "soft" parameters.

* hard nofile 65535

* soft nofile 4096

* hard nproc 16384

* soft nproc 2047


Create the oraInventory

# vi oraInst.loc

inventory_loc=/u01/oraInventory

inst_group=dba

 

PREPARING STAGE AREA

Download all required Parts

Unzip startCD for getting buildStage.sh

Execute bulildStage.sh script for creating Stage


Installation steps

PREPARING STAGE AREA

Download all required Parts

Unzip startCD for getting buildStage.sh

Execute bulildStage.sh script for creating Stage


Unzip startCD for getting buildStage.sh

Create directory for R12 Stage.

# mkdir Net_stage


unzip parts of StartCD in R12 Staging directory.

# unzip V100052-01_1of3.zip

# unzip V100052-01_2of3.zip

# unzip V100052-01_3of3.zip

After unzipping all three parts it will create directory startCD.

Execute bulildStage.sh script for creating Stage

This script will be located under “startCD > Disk1> rapidwiz > bin”

[root@dbtest ~]# cd /u01/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin







Place the location where the stage files has been installed.






Ensure the privileges to stage directory (755 or 775)

INSTALL ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE R12.2

# cd /u01/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz

# ./rapidwiz







This is a new option in R12.2 that allows you to select different ports on two different file systems.


The RAC option was added in R12.2







Choose two different locations for the database and application file systems (New option R12.2)

Database File system      - /u01/oracle/PROD (DB Base Dir)

Application File system - /u01/apps (APPS Base Dir)


You can enter the required password for all listed users here. I've selected to use default password. (R12.2 is a new option).








The installation process has been successful.

  • Install the application tech stack fs1&fs2 file system

 

What is difference between EBS Standard/Express install?

 

Express Install

It's using for demo purpose and its using one OS user for apps and DB

Very limited installation option is available

 

Standard Install

 

Its live production implementation its supporting multi user support

Multi user option is use full for segregate apps & dB tier one team monitoring the apps and another team monitoring the DB

 

 

Difference between fresh database/vision database?

 

Fresh Database

Default option is fresh database its production kind of environment. Its available only default configuration after installation functional team do the functionality setup

Ex:- GL,HR,etc

 

Vision Database

Its mainly using for demo activity. Vision database having some default set is available(Gl,HR)

Its consuming more disk space.

 

If you want to install 19c database in EBS which start CD version you will use?

How to troubleshoot long running concurrent request in R12.2

By -
Normally we are getting concurrent program running longer and concurrent request not picking jobs, etc. those are very frequent issue we expected from development team. Collect below basis level of information to development team 1 Oracle seeded program/Custom program? 2 How much time it used earlier? 3 Is there any recent code change done in concurrent program? 4 Is this program fetching higher data compare to last run? 5 Does this job running any specific time/ It can be run any time? 6 Does this job fetching data using DB link? 7 Does the problem happen on both the test and production instance? Once asked above questions to development team in meanwhile we need to start basic sanity check in our environment. 1 Verify the status of the concurrent program select REQUEST_ID,phase_code,status_code,ORACLE_SESSION_ID from apps.fnd_concurrent_requests where request_id=’1234567’; 2 Find which concurrent manger ran a specific concurrent request select b.USER_CONCURR
