Footnotes:
*After installing these patches, run ldconfig -v.
** Some Oracle Applications product modules (Discrete Manufacturing
(WPS, WIP, ENG) and Advanced Planning & Scheduling (MSC, MSO, MSR)) are
written in C++ and require the C++ compiler to perform the link. If the system
where Oracle Applications is being installed has no other use for the C++
compiler, you can download and install the 60-day trial version of the HP C/aC++
Developer's Bundle rather than purchasing the full C++ compiler. The linker
included in the Developer's Bundle does not expire and can be used beyond the
60-day trial limitation. For more information, review the HP C/aC++ FAQ here.
1 IBM XL 7.0C/C++ or IBM XL 8.0C/C++ runtime libraries are required for Discrete Manufacturing (WPS, WIP, ENG) and Advanced Planning & Scheduling (MSC, MSO, MSR). 2 The XL C/C++ runtime utilities are not needed if you are using the full version of XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition v7.0 or 8.0 for AIX. If needed, the XL C/C++ runtime libraries are available from:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24007696
(7.0)
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24010670 (8.0)
3
These compilers are currently past their End of Support dates (as published by
IBM) - we recommend that XL 8.0 be used if issues arise due to the use of these
older tools..

After you have installed Oracle Applications, you can subsequently
migrate the database tier of Oracle Applications to other operating systems.
This is called a split configuration database tier.
For a list of operating systems available and instructions on how to
create a split configuration database tier, refer to Certify on My Oracle
Support.
Rapid Install installs the Java 2 Standard Edition 1.4.2
automatically for systems running on Solaris, Linux, or Windows operating
systems.
If your system runs on HP-UX PA-RISC, HP-Tru64, or IBM AIX, you must download
and install J2SE before you continue with the installation or upgrade.
Step 1 Download Java 2 Standard Edition
J2SE 1.4 is available from a download site provided by your OS
vendor. Use this site to download J2SE for the operating system on the node(s)
where you deploy your application tier servers (forms, Web, concurrent
processing, and administration servers).
|
Note:
Download the Java 2 Development Kit, Standard Edition, not
the Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE), Standard Edition.
|
Find your application tier operating system in the following table.
Go to the URL listed and download the latest available patch release provided.
Maintenance releases are indicated by the third digit, such as 1.4.2. Patch
releases are designated with the fourth set of numbers, such as 1.4.2.03.

| ||
Follow the instructions from the download site to install J2SE on
each node that contains an application tier server. Note the new J2SE 1.4
installation top-level directory. Insert the full path as <JDK14_TOP> when
instructed to do so.
|
Note:
Review the installation instructions and Release Notes for the J2SE
you download to ensure that the OS version you are running is supported with
J2SE 1.4. You may have to upgrade to a later, certified version of the OS or
apply other system patches before you can install the J2SE.
|
Type the following command to verify that you have installed the
correct version:
<JDK14_TOP>/bin/java -version
The version should read "1.4.x.y", where x
is the certified maintenance level, and y
is the patch level you installed. When the Rapid Install wizard prompts for the
J2SE location, enter <JDK14_TOP>.
The Discoverer 4i product has been de-supported effective November
2006 and all Oracle E-Business Suite customers must upgrade to Discoverer 10g if
they intend to use the Discoverer product with EBS. Please refer to My Oracle
Support Document 313418.1 'Using Discoverer 10g with Oracle Applications
11i'.
Users should check Certify on My Oracle Support for currently
supported operating systems for the Discoverer 10g product.
This section outlines requirements that apply to all UNIX/Linux
operating systems. Specific requirements are listed under separate headings.
Dynamic libraries are used as part of the relinking and execution
processes. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is used by Oracle
Applications to locate the required dynamic libraries at runtime. Rapid Install
sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in three places:
- $APPL_TOP/admin/adovars.env
- $ORACLE_HOME/<CONTEXT_NAME>.env, in both the 8.0.6 and iAS Oracle home directories
To change the value in any of the application tier locations, use the
Edit Parameters function of the OAM AutoConfig tool to update the following
fields (as required). Then, run AutoConfig (adautocfg.sh) to implement the
changes.

This section describes requirements that are specific to Linux x86
and Linux x86-64 (AMD64/EM64T). Oracle Applications (11i)
is supported on Linux x86 or Linux x86-64 (AMD64/EM64T) running the 32-bit
version of the operating system only.
|
Note:
You can only install Oracle Applications on an x86-64 architecture
server if the operating system is 32-bit Linux or Windows. If your operating
system is 64-bit, contact your operating system vendor to obtain a 32-bit
operating system before installing Oracle Applications.

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. If this happens, add or update the following entries to these
minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file on each server node:
options attempts:5
options timeout:15
Net Service Listeners in Multi-user Installations
Give all users in a multi-user installation write privileges to the
.oracle directory:
$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/.oracle
Oracle Linux 4 and 5, Red Hat Enterprise
This section describes requirements that apply only to Oracle Linux 4
and 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 and 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9
and 10.
Use the following to verify host name settings:
- Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.
<!--[endif]-->127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
localhost
<ip_address> <node_name>.<domain_name>
<node_name>
- Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.
<!--[endif]-->HOSTNAME=<node_name>.<domain_name>
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.
<!--[endif]-->
- If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.
- If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.
- Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.
<!--[endif]-->127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
localhost
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.
<!--[endif]--><ip_address> <node_name>.<domain_name>
<node_name>
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.
<!--[endif]-->
- If you changed any files in the previous step, restart the system.
Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing
values for "hard" and "soft" parameters as follows. Restart the system after
making changes.
For Oracle Linux 4 and 5, Red Hat Enterprise
* hard nofile 65535
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 32768
* soft nofile 32768
Open the /etc/sysctl.conf file and change the value of
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range as follows. Restart the system after making
changes.
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000
Please note that this range is a recommended range, and may need to
be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user's environment in order
to avoid port conflicts.
Perform the following tasks to set the environment before you run
Rapid Install.
- Rename the /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ files.
For Red Hat Enterprise
# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 only:
# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc41
# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++41
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 only:
# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc322
# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++322
- Create symbolic links.
For Red Hat Enterprise
# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
# ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 and 10 only:
# ln -s /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc
# ln -s /opt/gcc295/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 only:
# ln -s /usr/bin/ld215 /usr/bin/ld
# ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 /usr/lib/libdb.so.3
# ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2
# ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2
For Oracle Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise
# ln -s /usr/bin/ld215 /usr/bin/ld
Download and apply the OS library patch 6078836 from My
Oracle Support and create the following symbolic link:
# ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 /usr/lib/libdb.so.3
# ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 /usr/lib/libdb.so.3
- Verify that the host name setting is correct. The command should return a fully qualified host name. For example: <host_name>.<domain_name>.
# hostname -f
Complete these tasks after you set the environment variables and
before you begin the installation steps described in Installing Oracle Applications.
- Unset the NLS_LANG environment variable, if it is defined prior to installation.
- For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, apply the OS library patch 3006854 (downloadable from My Oracle Support).
- For Oracle Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 customers, the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable should be unset before starting the installation. The installation fails when the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable is set by the adgetlnxver.sh file during the course of the installation. Patch 6365595 contains the fix for adgetlnxver.sh file. The procedure below is a guideline for replacing the adgetlnxver.sh file in the Oracle Applications 11i shiphome.
- Download the patch 6365595 from My Oracle Support.
- Follow the Oracle Applications Installation guide and set up the stage area.
- Set the STAGE_TOP environment variable to the top level directory of the stage area that contains the subdirectories startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraiAS and oraAppDB. Make sure that the stage area is read writable.
- Create the following directories in the stage area.
# mkdir -p $STAGE_TOP/oraDB/Disk3/db/stage/appsutil/bin
# mkdir -p $STAGE_TOP/oraApps/Disk5/appl/stage/bin - Copy the adgetlnxver.sh file in the patch 6365595 to the following
directories created in earlier step.
# cp -p 6365595_PATCH_TOP/ad/bin/adgetlnxver.sh $STAGE_TOP/oraDB/Disk3/db/stage/appsutil/bin
# cp -p 6365595_PATCH_TOP/ad/bin/adgetlnxver.sh $STAGE_TOP/oraApps/Disk5/appl/stage/bin - Update the zip archive with the fix (adgetlnxver.sh file).
# cd $STAGE_TOP/oraDB/Disk3/db/stage
# zip -u dboh0_appsutil appsutil/bin/adgetlnxver.sh
# cd $STAGE_TOP/oraApps/Disk5/appl/stage
# zip -u ad_CORE bin/adgetlnxver.sh - For Oracle Enteprise Linux and Red Hat Enteprise Linux 5 Update 3 (5.3), users will see a failure when running Rapid Install. Users must edit the file $STAGE_TOP/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin/runWizard.sh and comment out lines 122-125, as in:

- Restart your system
After the installation is complete, perform the following tasks in
addition to the ones described in Installing Oracle Applications:
- For Oracle Linux 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1,
3 and 4 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 and 9 only:
Apply patch 4632932 to all the application tiers, then re-source the applications environment file to refresh the environment variables. - For Oracle Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10 only:
Apply patch 6365595 to all the application tiers, then re-source the applications environment file to refresh the environment variables. - Oracle Database Server 9i is not supported on Oracle Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. Follow the instructions in My Oracle Support Document 362203.1 and upgrade your database to 10g Release 2
- Relink Advanced Supply Chain Planning executables (for Oracle Linux/RHEL 5.4 or higher only)
Relinking Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) executables MSO, MSC,
MSR and FEM will fail on Oracle Linux/RHEL 5.4 (Update 4) and higher. To fix
this problem, users are required to replace the following line under the Linux
section of the $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh:
CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib
-L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh'
with
CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib
-L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh
-Wl,--noinhibit-exec'
After making this change, users are then required to run the adadmin
utility and relink application executables.
|
Additional Information:
The application of an EBS Release Update Pack (RUP) or AD family pack could
over-write the adrelinknew.sh
file - users must then re-edit and make changes to the above file in order to
avoid relinking failures.

The following are known issues for Linux
x86/x86-64:
- For Oracle Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 the use of SSL (https) with Forms Listener Server (see My Oracle Support Doc: 123718.1) is currently not supported due to an issue with the use of Oracle Wallet Manager (version 2.1) on these operating systems. Users must use https with Forms Listener Servlet instead.
This section describes requirements that are specific to Solaris
SPARC.
Give all users in a multi-user installation write privileges to the
.oracle directory:
$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/.oracle
If you are experiencing intermittent shutdown delays with the rotate
logs feature in Oracle 9iAS, apply Oracle Critical Patch Update July 2005 for
Oracle Application Server (patch 4393827) or superseding patch to resolve this
issue..
If you have installed a 64-bit RDBMS either with a full installation
of Oracle Applications release 11.5.10.2 or by using the 'rapidwiz -techstack'
command of Rapid Install, you must download and apply patch 5354588 to your
release 9.2.0 Oracle home.
Solaris SPARC Known Issues
The following are known issues for Solaris SPARC:
- After applying "TXK AUTOCONFIG AND TEMPLATES ROLLUP PATCH
U", the following ignorable warning might be encountered when trying to

ILOG libraries must be optimized for the PA-RISC 1.1 architecture to
increase performance for products based on C++ (MSO, WPS, WIP, ENG, and MRP).
The default libraries are already optimized for PA-RISC 2.0, and are located in
the $SHT_TOP/lib/ilog/5.1 directory on all servers except the RDBMS.
If your servers use PA-RISC 1.1 architecture, replace the default
libraries with the PA-RISC 1.1 versions. The ILOG libraries are available in SHT
patch 4297568.
To verify the PA-RISC version, type the following command. It
produces a numeric output that identifies PA-RISC versions.

$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstpall.sh
- Download and follow the README of the ADRELINKNEW.SH patch 9402583 to apply this patch to the Applications tier.
- Relink AD using the command:
% adrelink.sh force=y ranlib=n "ad all" - Use ADADMIN to relink all Applications executables.
Restart the Applications tier services using the command:
$COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<CONTEXT_NAME>/adstpall.sh
HP-Tru64 Requirements
This section describes requirements that are specific to HP-Tru64.
Net Service Listeners in Multi-user Installations
Give all users in a multi-user installation write privileges to the
.oracle directory:
$ chmod 777 /tmp/.oracle
Oracle recommends using Perl 5.6.x or higher for the Applications
Server (iAS). After you install Perl, see My Oracle Support Document 218089.1
for instructions on how to run AutoConfig to reconfigure your instance to use
the new Perl.
For all nodes, check the size of the resource limit of the data area
and the virtual memory with these commands:
$ ulimit -d
$ ulimit -v
If the size of the data area is smaller than the size of the virtual
memory, increase the data area to the same as the virtual memory. For example,
if you are using a Korn shell, set the ulimit data area size to 1048576 KB by
running this command:
$ ulimit -d 1048576
This section describes requirements that are specific to AIX.
Give all users in a multi-user installation write privileges to the
.oracle directory:
$ chmod 777 /tmp/.oracle
Read and follow all the instructions in the AIX-KERNEL-EXT-README in
the Oracle Applications 11i Release 11.5.10.2 Rapid Install Start
Here
DVD before you run Rapid Install. The readme file is located in the
aix_preInstall directory (startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/oui/IBM_AIX/aix_preInstall).
The instructions in the readme file tells users to run the
preInstaller.sh which in turn requires the superuser (root) to run a provided
rootpre.sh script.
|
Note:
Installation on an AIX 6 (6.1) system requires an updated rootpre.sh
file along with associated files for use with 10gR2 of the database. AIX 6 users
must install the database patch 6613550 available from My Oracle Support prior
to installing EBS 11i on an AIX 6 system.
Please backup the contents of the aix_preInstall directory and then
overwrite the contents of the directory with the content of the above database
patch before running the new rootpre.sh.
|
|
Note:
Prior to running the 11.5.10.2 Rapid Install on AIX (5L or 6), you
must download and install the startCD patch 8606387 (available from My Oracle
Support) to the 11.5.10.2 staging area.
|
Before running the AD scripts adadmin or adpatch (which relink
executables), you must have 1GB of data segment size available for relinking the
Advanced Planning executables MSC, MSO, and MSR. To check the current size, run
the following command:
$ dump -X64 -o /usr/ccs/bin/bind64
If the last line returns 0x00000000 for maxDATA, the current maximum
size is 256 MB (the default for AIX 32-bit applications).
To set the data segment size to 1 GB, set the LDR_CNTRL variable to
LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x40000000@DSA:
$ export
LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x40000000@DSA
When generating large form files through AD Administration or
applying a patch, the Forms generation executable can crash and form files fail
to be generated. This problem is caused by the size of the form files increasing
and the memory space being allocated. To work-around this problem, set the
environment variable LDR_CNTRL to MAXDATA=0x40000000@DSA.
For example (in ksh):
$ export
LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x40000000@DSA
This section describes requirements that apply to all supported
Windows operating systems. Requirements for specific operating systems are
listed under separate headings.
|
Note:
The information in this section addresses the operation of the
database tier and the application tier servers only. See My Oracle Support for
information about client desktop issues.
|
User documentation examples use a command prompt syntax and make use
of environment variables. This syntax is used in all documentation associated
with installing, upgrading, or maintaining your system. If an example makes
reference to an environment variable %<var_name>%, check to see if it is
set in the environment:
C:\> echo
%<var_name>%
For example, if the <var_name> is GL_TOP, and echo %GL_TOP%
returns a valid path name, you can use GL_TOP on the command line:
C:\> cd
%GL_TOP%\admin\sql
On Windows platforms, Rapid Install
requires Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 Service Pack 4 (or later) in order to set up
and start services. Before you begin your installation, follow these steps to
determine if the correct version of the XML Parser is installed on your system,
and take action as necessary.
- Open the Windows Explorer
- Navigate to the system root directory (default is C:\winnt\system32).
- Right-click msxm13.dll. Select Properties. them click Version.
- If XML Parser is not already installed, or if the version on your system is not 3.0 SP4 (or later), go to the following URL and download the Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 SP4 Software Development Kit:
- After installing MSXML 3.0 SP4 SDK, copy msxm12.lib from <Microsoft XML Parser SDK>\lib to <Visual C++/C>\lib, where <Microsoft XML Parser SDK> is the installed location of the MSXML 3.0 SP4 SDK, and <Visual C++/C> is the installed location of Visual C++/C 6.0.
Users are expected to acquire and install the release maintenance
tools listed in this section. Follow these guidelines when installing the target
installation directories:
- Do not install the tools in the Program Files directory, or any other target directory with blank spaces in its name.
- Do not install the tools under the APPL_TOP.
You will encounter problems relinking if the executables are in a
\bin directory under any of the Oracle Applications product tops. Make sure each
of the executables is in the PATH after installation.
Version 6.0 + Service Pack 3 or higher. Visual C++.NET editions,
available separately or as part of Visual Studio, are not supported. See
How to Obtain Visual C++ for Release 11i on Windows
on My Oracle Support Document 201392.1 for information on obtaining
this software.
Note that Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (including Visual C++ 2008
Express) is also certified with EBS 11.5.10.2 (see My Oracle Support Document
1095124.1) for use with most EBS products.
This tool is required to be installed on the application tier only.
Version 6.1a or higher. You can use any of the Developer series (for
Developers, for Professional Developers, or for Enterprise Developers). You can
obtain this software from the MKS Web site at http://www.mks.com.
This tool is required for both the application and database tiers
running Windows.
|
Note:
While MKS Toolkit is recommended, Cygwin can now be used in its
place. See "Using Cygwin to Maintain Release 11i on Windows" on My Oracle
Support Document 302859.1 for information.
|
Version 3.77 or higher, excluding 3.79.0. See
GNU Make Requirement for Release 11i for
Windows
on My Oracle Support Document 268776.1 for information.
This tool is required to be installed on the application tier only.
If you run Rapid Install from a read-only media/shiphome, AutoConfig
may report an error while executing the txkGenExtSecConf.pl script. Check the
log file for AutoConfig errors after you finish running Rapid Install. If this
error is reported, run AutoConfig from a writable directory to correct the
problem.
|
Additional Information:
See AutoConfig in Oracle Applications Maintenance Utilities.
|
Your system must meet the requirements in this section to use Oracle
Alert.
Oracle Alert requires Exchange Server 2000 or higher.
Windows Messaging, also known as Messaging Application Programming
Interface (MAPI), is required. You can install Microsoft Outlook 2000 to obtain
Windows Messaging, or you can obtain it directly from Microsoft Support. See
Microsoft Web document Q254458 at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q254/4/58.asp

Note:
Windows Messaging is supplied without product support.
|
Do not apply the Outlook E-mail Security Update. If it has already
been applied, follow the instructions in Microsoft Web document Q263444 at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/4/44.asp
Do not use compressed drives for installing any of the Oracle
Applications Release 11i
components. Patching and relinking will not work correctly on a disk drive that
is compressed.
If the concurrent manager service is running on the same node as the
database, it may not start automatically after a restart. If that happens, make
sure that the database service (ORACLEService<SID>) is running and the TNS
listener (ORACLE<SID>_<DB_VERS>_RDBMSTNSListener<SID>) has
started. Then, use the Service Control Panel to start the concurrent manager.
There are a number of technology stack services created by Rapid
Install that are not currently used by Oracle Applications. They are set to
start manually. There is no need to start these services or to change them to
start automatically.
See Default Debugger on Windows NT/2000
on My Oracle Support Document 136627.1 for information on setting up the default
debugger.
Oracle Corporation does not explicitly test or support the
installation of E-Business Suite products from remote clients (such as Terminal
Services Client). We recommend that you install directly on the computer
console, or by connecting to a console session using tools such as pcanywhere
(from pcanywhere.com), vnc (from vnc.com), or Windows 2003 Terminal Services
(available for Windows Server 2003 only).
