** 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.

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.

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:
2. 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:
4. HOSTNAME=<node_name>.<domain_name>
5.
- 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:
2. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
localhost
3. <ip_address>
<node_name>.<domain_name> <node_name>
4.
- 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:

# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
6. # export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
# fi
- 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

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

$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.
|

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
