EBS -- EBS 12.2.5 - 12C DB installation on Linux

In this blog post, we will see an example EBS 12.2 installation , which is done on a Linux x86-64 system.
The aim of this installation is to obtain an EBS 12.2.5 instance running on Oracle Linux 6 64-bit. We will use the latest startCD, so we will have an 12C database in our newly installed EBS 12.2.5 instance. This document involves some post upgrade steps, which may be required or changed according to your needs. The underlying server system used for this installation is based on a single node server environment. However, the steps are quite similar in a multi node system. The general overview of the process is to install Oracle Linux, install EBS 12.2.0 and upgrade it to EBS 12.2.5. This blog post is a little different than my earlier post, as it will be like a compilation, but still it will give the valuable filtered information required for EBS 12.2. installations. Please do not take the configuration values, licensed products as well as the post upgrade steps used in this document as the orders :), because they are only there for giving you the general explanation of the installation process, as they may vary according to your environments and needs.
Let 's see, how we do it.
Main Document: Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 1330701.1)

1. Installation Linux 6.5

2. Installing rpms for EBS 12.2 and RDBMS 12C

[root@ermantest yum.repos.d]# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo

Note : use vi editor to open repo and change enable 0 to 1 for addon and latest repositery

yum install -y oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall

yum install -y oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall

3. Check all rpms

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n" | grep openmotif21

4. Run ldconfig -v command to relink all symbolic libraries

5. Disable selinux and shutdown iptables,ip6tables services also on run levels

vi /etc/selinux/config ( change SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled )

service iptables stop

service ip6tables stop

chkconfig --level 0123456 ip6tables off

chkconfig --level 0123456 iptables off

6. Check kernel settings for the parameters are correctly set

Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in the following table, then do not change the value of that parameter.

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.semmsl 256

kernel.semmns 32000

kernel.semopm 100

kernel.semmni 142

kernel.shmall 20971524

kernel.shmmax Half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least 42949672952

kernel.shmmni 4096

kernel.msgmax 8192

kernel.msgmnb 65535

kernel.msgmni 2878

fs.file-max 6815744

fs.aio-max-nr 1048576

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range 9000 65500

net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle 05

net.core.rmem_default 262144

net.core.rmem_max 4194304

net.core.wmem_default 262144

net.core.wmem_max 1048576

Note : Parameter kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 is changed to kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 142

7. Check Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameters , it should be below

options attempts:5
options timeout:15

8. Verifying Host Names

· Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:

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:
HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]
or as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name]
NISDOMAIN=[domain_name] · If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.

· If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system

9. Modify ulimit settings in limits.conf
vi /etc/security/limits.conf

# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for nofile soft limit is 1024

12. Start E-Business Installation / EBS 12.2.0 installation
[root@ermantest rapidwiz]# pwd

/ebssetupfiles/EBS1225/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
[root@ermantest rapidwiz]# ./rapidwiz

13. Now follow the screens

If we encounter some errors for database pre-install checks and/or for filesystems, fix them as documented below ;

Open new terminal with root user and run xhost + Database Pre-installchecks; Create oraInst.loc file and point it to the inventory location, which can be ORACLE_BASE directory.
ORACLE_HOME==/u01/oracle/TEST/12.1.0
ORACLE_BASE==/u01/oracle/TEST So the orainventory should be in ora base directory [oracle@ermanrtest app]$ cat /etc/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/u01/oracle/TEST/oraInventory
inst_group=dba
For filesystem check error ;
chmod -R 777 /u01 (or any appropriate file permissions)

After installation is completed we can connect to the EBS and check the version 12.2.0 and go for next step...

At this point, EBS 12.2.0 installation is complete, so we continue with the EBS 12.2.5 upgrade.

--PREPARING for 12.2.0 to 12.2.5 upgrade--
APPLYING TECHNOLOGY PATCHES FOR 12.2.0 Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.5 Readme (Doc ID 1983050.1) Master Note
1. EBS Technology Codelevel Checker (ETCC) (Doc ID 1594274.1)

Note: This patch verifies the missing bugfixes which is not applied for db and middle tiers. You can apply the patches directly to the related component but I recommend you go for the next steps and crosscheck the output of the log with the table you will see in section 3.2

Download patch 17537119

Upload patch to DB and APP node

For DB Node :

mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/etcc
copy all files in the patch to the directory "mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/etcc"
cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/etcc
./checkDBpatch.sh

For APP Node :

cd
./checkMTpatch.sh

2. Apply RDBMS (12.1.0.2) Patches

Note: Shutdown database before apply patches

7. Apply Oracle Reports and Forms Pathes ( 10.1.2.3.0 )

Note : Any configuration file changes suggested in post-install steps can be skipped, as those changes are controlled through technology stack templates initialized by AutoConfig. Any recommendation in any Forms patch readme to redeploy Forms ear file can be skipped as it is automatically deployed by Oracle E-Business Suite service control scripts before starting services. Please regenerate jars from adadmin after applying any of the forms patch, do not opt to force the regeneration of all JAR files. If the patch is being applied in the patch file system then ensure Online Patching prepare phase (adop phase=prepare) has completed successfully first before running adadmin. If the patch is being applied in the run file system, run adadmin after applying the patch

Note: The 10.1.2.3 distribution is 32-bit, even on 64-bit platforms. Download the available patch for your platform.

Default Oracle Home path is already set to 10.1.2 directory but if you need to set or to be make sure use below command

export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/TEST/fs1/EBSapps/10.1.2
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
opatch lsinventory

[applmgr@ermantest~]$ opatch lsinventory

14. Source the run edition applications environment. It is already set in .bash_profile
15. Stop Weblogic AdminServer and Node Manager services.

Applying the patch in downtime mode requires all application tier services to be down. Therefore, Weblogic AdminServer and Node Manager that were started previously when applying the latest Release Update Packs for AD and TXK for Release 12.2 need to be shut down.

sh $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adadminsrvctl.sh stop
sh $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adnodemgrctl.sh stop
16. Set the "optimizer_adaptive_features" database parameter to FALSE (required for Database version 12.1.0.2).

sqlplus "/as sysdba"
alter system set optimizer_adaptive_features=false scope=both;

System altered.

show parameter optimizer_adaptive_features

19. Start all Application tier services on the run file system. sh $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh
20. Perform adop cleanup action. adop phase=cleanup
21. Synchronize file systems Synchronize the file systems using the command shown below. This action will copy the new run edition code and configuration to the other file system, to ensure that both file systems are in sync before applying patches using the regular adop cycle on the other file system.
adop phase=fs_clone
--POST UPGRADE STEPS--

22. Apply Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.5 Online Help Patch 19676460 using adop hotpatch mode on the run file system.

23. To apply NLS ( Turkish ) Language patch follow the instructions in correct order

· Activate the new language using the Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) License Manager.

· Maintain snapshot information

· Run the AD Administration utility to maintain multi-lingual tables from the Maintain Applications Database Entities menu.

· Log on to your Applications' administration node as the APPLMGR user and source the APPL_TOP environment file. If you are on Release 12.2.0 or above, make sure you are connected to the RUN edition. Use the manifest generation tool to generate a manifest file by executing the following command:

perl $AD_TOP/bin/adgennls.pl

The manifest generated from the tool is located at :
$APPL_TOP/admin/$TWO_TASK/out/adgennls.txt
Request a translation sync path using "https://updates.oracle.com/TransSync"
Upload and apply patch with adop through an online patching cycle (prepare,apply,finalize,cutover,cleanup)
24. Apply Localizations patches and implement localizations if necessary.

At this point, we reached the end. That is our EBS 12.2.5 is ready for use. But, before I put an end to this blog post, I want to share some useful documents with you.

Hi Erman!
I would like to apply on top of 12.2.5 Financials and SUpply Chain reccomended critical patches .. How do you search for them ? Patch Wizard ? I tried manual search in Metalink.. It just show 12.2 and not show is it applicable or not for 12.2.5. Any hints?
Thanks,Linda

Also note that, there is no guarantee for RPC patches.
For example: as for the Payables 12.2.X, at the moment, there are no available Recommended Patch Collection (RPC)

Also, 2 facts for you:

1)All patches available for versions 12.2 can be found on: My Oracle support > Patches & Updates > Select Product: Payable > Release: 12.2
2)latest patch news: https://community.oracle.com/community/support/oracle_e-business_suite/e-business_patching

Hi Misba,

StartCDs are just for the installation. Initial installation.
However the startCD version is also important for the upgrades, because using a higher version of startCD for the initial installation, will make your job easier during the upgrade.
I mean afher 12.2.0 installation, you need to do the prereqs for the EBS 12.2.5 right?, so that prereqs will change according to your startCD version.
That is, if you did the installation using an old version startCD, then you will have to do more preregs. FMW 11.1.1.7 upgrade for example.
So the answer for your question is yes. you can perform upgrade from 12.2.0 (installed with startCD 46) to 12.2.5.

As for the db; 12c is not a must.
As for the FMW; currently -> Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.5 Release Update Pack requires Fusion Middleware Technology Stack (FMW) 11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) or higher.

However, I recommend you to install EBS 12.2.0 using startCD 51. As I said earlier, It will ease your job.
Also , versions below start CD 51 is not supported for the installation. So if you encounter any problem, Oracle support may say to you " use startCD 51".

You apply these patches on top of 12.1.0.2, because these patches are not included in any installation package.

ORACLEAPPSINFOJanuary 25, 2017 at 11:02 AM

when search this patch at oracle 21967332 lot of patches will come which patch i will choose.

You will install the patch according to your environment.
i.e For Linux intel 64 bit, you will insatall the patch for release 12.1.0.2.0 and platform Linux X86-64

What is the way to install 12.2.6. How do I know which files I have to down load from edelivary.

Erman ArslanMarch 2, 2017 at 9:14 PM

Check this link. It is already answered in my forum.

http://erman-arslan-s-oracle-forum.2340467.n4.nabble.com/not-ablel-to-download-ebs-12-2-5-files-td1342.html

In edelivery, choose Oracle Financial(EBS,FIN,Oracle E-Business Suite,ebusiness) , then choose Oracle EBS 12.2.6. (also choose your OS type)

After this, you will see the files.
Don't bother if the filenames are not like the ones documented in my blog post.
This is normal, as now the latest release is EBS 12.2.6 and the files are new.

What you will do is, download EBS 12.2.0 (all the installation files) + download EBS 12.2.6 (all the installation files), download Oracle Database 12c (all the installation files), download the relevant lanuage installation file + weblogic + webiter files + Oracle E-Business Suite (12.2.5).

It seem there is bug there. Because, the files which is in EBS 12.2.5 category is needed for EBS 12.2.6 install as well.

Hi Emran,
wonderful document!!

I installed EBS 12.2.0 with startCD 47 then upgraded to EBS 12.2.3 successfully. Now i am having 11.2.0.3 DB along with 12.2.3 applications.

Please suggest me the procedure to upgrade the DB from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 (or) 12.1.0.2 so that i can later upgrade EBS 12.2.3 to 12.2.5.

Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Mohammed,

Follow Section 1 "Upgrading an R12 Database to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0)" of Oracle Support document named "Interoperability Notes E-Business Suite Release 12.2 with Database 11g Release 2 (Doc ID 1623879.1)".

AnonymousJune 5, 2017 at 7:02 AM

Hi Ermar,

Thanks for the document, this doc makes the 12.2.5 installation easy.

I installed 12.2.5, I skipped step 11(Apply patch for Oracle Weblogic Server 10.3.6.0) but successfully upgraded to 12.2.5. I thought that it(step 11) is for security bug fixes, please correct me if i am wrong and suggest me that i need to complete the step 11 now.

Erman ArslanJune 5, 2017 at 7:25 AM

The patch versions documented in this blog post belong to the time that this blog post is written.
You need to read this blog post, but follow the oracle documentation while installing EBS.
This blog post is written for showing you the way.
So , the up-to-date patch versions should be gathered from Oracle support.
Bytheway, you can't ignore anything during the installation. Prereq is prereq.

Now, You should check : Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Consolidated List of Patches and Technology Bug Fixes (Doc ID 1594274.1)
Section 4.4: Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.6.0 Patch and Bug Numbers
Actually, check the document above entirely.

You should apply the patches documented in 1594274.1.
If you didn't yet, then you are lucky.
You should apply the patches even if you are upgraded 12.2.5.

In general the documentation you follow should start with EBS readme (EBS 12.2.5 readme in your case). The readme will direct you to all the necessary documents.

-->
apply the latest application tier technology patches documented in 'Section 4: Application Tier Technology Patches and Bug Numbers' of My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1594274.1, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Consolidated List of Patches and Technology Bug Fixes.

Note: Refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1355068.1, Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 Patching Technology Components Guide for instructions on how to apply technology patches.' of My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1594274.1, Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Consolidated List of Patches and Technology Bug Fixes.
