Installation of Oracle Applications R12.1.1 on Linux and vmware
This is a single node Installation. (All services will be hosting on same machine 0 db, conc, web, forms etc)
I have Installed it on a virtual machine with 4gb ram, 120 GB of local disk space and 1 core cpu.
- Requires 80 GB of free space for fresh installation (excluding stage area)
- Requires 100+ GB of free space for vision installation (excl. stage)
I will split this configuration in 5 steps:
1) create and configure virtual machine
2) Install linux operating system
3) create stage Area
4) Perform all operating system per-requisites
5) Install oracle E-business suite R12.1.1
create and configure virtual machine:
>> Login to vmware Server console
>> click on add virtual machine
>> Here i have selected iso image for OS Installation, you can select local cd drive if u want.
>> Now the virtual machine is created and ready for Linux Installation
Install Linux operating system:
Here steps to Install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6 (32-bit). The below demonstration is for host orerp3 (another virtual machine created for R12 Installation). All steps are similar for all linux hosts.
>> Follow step by step screens:
Perform all operating system per-requisites:
>> create OS group, user and directories:
[root@oraerp1 ~]# groupadd dbaerp
[root@oraerp1 ~]# useradd -G dbaerp applerp
[root@oraerp1 ~]# useradd -G dbaerp oraerp
[root@oraerp1 ~]# passwd applerp
Changing password for user applerp.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@oraerp1 ~]# passwd oraerp
Changing password for user oraerp.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

- This is because there is missing library file which is required for R12 Install
>> Run xhost + command to enable GUI windows:
[root@oraerp1 ~]# xhost +

>> Create stage Area:
There are two ways we can create stage for R12
1. Stage using script adautostage.pl from start here CD
2. Manual stage - create directories and copy media as listed below
[root@oraerp1 Dumps]# cd R12.1.1_X86/
[root@oraerp1 R12.1.1_X86]# ls
oraAppDB oraApps oraAS oraDB startCD
[root@oraerp1 R12.1.1_X86]#
startCD - copy Start Here Disk
oraApps - copy APPL_TOP Disk1, Disk2
oraAS - copy TOOLS Disk
oraDB - copy RDBMS Disk
oraAppDB - copy Databases Disk1 to Disk9
- I have created the stage area in an external drive
