Oracle EBS Installation
INSTALLING ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE 1. Staging the software
a) Log in as the operating system user with who has mount, unmount and eject the DVD privileges. The user should have a write privilege to the stage area that is being set up. b) Insert the DVD labelled as Start Here c) Verify the perl version (perl5.0053 or higher) using the command:
perl -v
If perl is not installed, it is possible to download it from http://www.perl.com d) Run the staging script using the command
#cd /media/cdrom/Disk1/rpidwiz/ #perl adautostg.pl
e) Provide storage location and all the DVD one by-one as the script asks
2. Starting Rapid Install
The Oracle Applications Rapid Install Wizard, more commonly called RapidWiz, drives the EBS installation process. The software has to be available on a media or can be copied from a server. To copy the software from another machine you can use the ssh command:
ssh remoteuser@{IP ADDRESS OF REMOTE MACHINE} scp r /{SOURCE LOCATION} localuser@{LOCAL _IP}:/ {DESTINATION LOCATION} Step 1: Launching RapidWiz
Log in to your Linux server's desktop as root. Open a terminal window and change to the startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz subdirectory of the software staging area. Run the rapidwiz utility in that directory:
[root@londo R12stage]# cd startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/ [root@londo rapidwiz]# ./rapidwiz
You should see a few launch messages in your terminal window, and the welcome screen of the installer will appear. Click Next:

Step 2: Select installation type
In the Wizard Operations window, make sure that "Install Oracle Applications" is selected, but do not check the Express Install box. Click Next:
Figure 38: Oracle Applications Wizard Operation window
Step 3: OCM configuration
In the Oracle Configuration Manager window, leave all the fields and options blank, and click Next.
Figure 39: Oracle Configuration Manager Details window
Step 4: Configuration Choice
Since this is a new install, select "Create a new configuration" in the Configuration Options window and click Next.
Figure 40: Configuration Choice window
Step 5: Port pool assignment
Select a number between 0 and 99 from the port pool list in the Global System Settings window, then click Next. The default port pool is 55.

Step 6: Database node configuration
In the Database Node Configuration window, verify that the following fields have correct values:
Database type is either "Vision Demo Database" or Fresh Database Hostname and domain name match the host and domain names on your Linux server. If you've configured this correctly in /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network, RapidWiz should pull the correct values. The Operating System value should match your server's platform (Linux x86 or Linux x86-64)
Change the following fields as necessary:
Database SID: Database OS user: The OS user you created as the owner of the Oracle software Database OS group: Change to dba Base Directory: This should be set to /d01/oracle.

Step 7: Licensing Selection On the license selection page select Suite Licensing and click next.
Figure 43: Licensing selection window
Step 8: License Additional Products Page
In the license additional products page select the additional applications you want to register.

Step 9: Select Country-specific Functionalities
Just click next on the country-specific functionalities page.

Step 10: Internationalization selection
On this page select the database character set to AL32UTF8.

Step 11: Applications node configuration
The next window, "Primary Applications Node Configuration," takes most of its values from the database node configuration. You'll need to change the value of Apps OS user.

Step 12: Node information review
The Node Information window presents a review of the servers you've configured so far, and offers the option to add an additional server. Click Next:

Step 13: Pre-install system checks
RapidWiz will pop up a window showing the system checks it is performing prior to installation. Basically, it's making sure that the necessary ports are open for the applications and database to run, that there's enough disk space to install, that it can write to all its directories, etc. After the checks are done, a Pre-Install Checks results window will appear. Hopefully you'll see all green checkmarks, as below. If you see red X's next to any of the test categories, click on the X to see a log from the test run, find and fix the errors, and click the Retry button to re-run the tests. Once all tests have been run successfully, click Next.

Step 14: The actual installation part
Click Next at the Install Review window, then Yes in the inevitable "are you sure you want to install?" box. You'll notice that the terminal window from which you launched RapidWiz will display some information about where it's writing out log files.

Step 15: Post-install checks
After a while (probably a few hours, depending on how speedy your server is) the installation will complete, and post-install checks will begin. If some of the post-install checks are listed as failed initially, don't be too worried. The initial startup of E-Business Suite can pretty resource-intensive, and it's not unusual for some of the post-install checks to time out waiting for responses from web pages, or for application server components themselves to time out when starting up. Keep in mind that you're installing software intended to run on server-class hardware, and your server might be under spec somewhere (disk speed, CPU, memory).

Step 16: Grand Finale
Click Finish, open a web browser, and go the URL http://server.domain:80nn. The value for nn is the "port pool" value you selected in the early stages of the installation.

Tip:-If you want to start looking around a little bit, the "superuser" for Oracle Applications is SYSADMIN, and the default password for the account is the same as the username.
