This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Oracle Applications R12 on RHEL AS 4.0. Document also explains Installation of Vmware on Linux and setup of Vmware to host Linux operating system.
This document is intended to serve as a installation guide for the Oracle Application Release 12 and installation of Vmware software on Linux platform.
- CPU Requirements
CPU requirements for running Oracle Applications depend on:
- Number of concurrent users and their usage profiles
- Number of concurrent manager processes and the types of jobs that they are
- running
- Load for activities other than Oracle Applications
- Size of the database
- Desired response time
- Disk Space Requirements
Rapid Install installs the file system and database files for all products, regardless of
their licensed status. The approximate file system requirements in a standard
installation are:
| Applications node file system (includes AS 10.1.2 ORACLE_HOME, AS 10.1.3 ORACLE_HOME, COMMON_TOP, APPL_TOP, and INST_TOP) | 28 GB |
| Database node file system (Fresh install) | 45 GB |
| Database node file system (Vision Demo database) | 133GB |
The total space required for a standard system, not including the stage area, is 73 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 161 GB for a fresh install with a Vision
Demo database.
Stage area:
For a production database install, running Rapid Install from a stage area requires at
least 33 GB to accommodate the file system and database files in the stage area.
- Memory Requirements (RDBMS and forms server)
RDBMS
To calculate the memory requirements on the machine where the RDBMS is installed,
consider the following:
Oracle database overhead
Size of System Global Area (SGA)
Number of concurrent users
Note: Also, Ensure that the swap is twice the Size the physical memory.

- Software Requirements
The following maintenance tools must be installed on all machines, and their locations specified both in the PATH of the account that runs Rapid Install and in the PATH of the accounts that will own the database tier and application tier file systems. (For all Linux 32-bit operating systems.)
- ar
- gcc
- g++
- ld
- ksh
- make
- X Display Server
The following are other requirements for Linux (32-bit).
- Kernal Setting
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings. After editing the file, use the "sysctl -p" command or restart the system to invoke the new settings.
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.
The following table lists the kernel settings for Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.0, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0, 4.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9:
| Parameter | Value |
| kernel.semmsl | 256 |

- Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameter
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
- Verifying HostNames
- Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.50 ina007.inatech.com ina007
- Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=.
HOSTNAME=ina007.inatech.com
- If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.
- If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.
- Modifying the Number of Open File Descriptors
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.
Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in this document, then do not change the value of that parameter.
hard nofile 65535
soft nofile 4096
hard nproc 16384
soft nproc 2047
- Creating Operating System Account:
- Login as root user,
- Create Oracle directory.
$ mkdir /u01/oracle - Create Oracle Installation Group, oinstall:
$ groupadd –g dba - Create user for Oracle software, oracle:
$ useradd –g dba –d /u01/oracle oracle - Set password for oracle user:
$ passwd oracle - Assign write permissions on /u01/oracle folder to oracle user:
$ chown –R oracle:dba /u01 /oracle - Switch to oracle user:
$ su – oracle
- Creating Stage Area:
To create the stage area directory, run the adautostg.pl script. If the script cannot
create the directories, or if there are other system parameters that require modification,
it prompts you to amend the parameters. You must fix any problems before you
continue with the setup process.
Follow these steps to set up a stage area installation:
1. Log in as the operating system user with sufficient privileges to mount, unmount,
and eject the DVD. This user must also have write privileges to the stage area thatyou set up.
2. Insert the Start Here disk in the DVD-ROM drive.
3. Mount the DVD (conditional).
If your system runs on a UNIX platform, and if you do not use AutoMount, you
must mount the Start Here disk now.
4. Verify software version (perl).
You must have perl 5.0053 or higher installed, and it must be in your PATH. Use
the following commands to identify the perl version and its location. The command
is the same for both UNIX and Windows platforms:
perl -v
If perl is not installed, you may download it from http://www.perl.com.
5. On UNIX, set the environment variable DISPLAY to an active and authorized
display.
6. Run the adautostg.pl script.
UNIX:
$ cd
$ perl /mnt/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl
7. Set up the stage area directory.
At the prompt for the stage directory, enter the name of the system top-level
directory. The Rapid wizard stage12 directory will be created in this path. For
example, if you enter /u01 as the top-level directory, the resulting directory path
will be /u01/stage12.
8. Indicate the components to be staged.
The script prompts you to choose the components that you want to stage:
1. Oracle Applications
2. Oracle Database technology stack (RDBMS)
3. Oracle Applications database (Databases)
4. Oracle Applications technology stack (Tools)
5. APPL_TOP
Enter one or more components, separating each one with a space. You can indicate
that you want to stage only the database technology stack, only the APPL_TOP, and
so on.
If you choose 1 (the default), all the main components will be staged.
9. Insert the Rapid Install DVD.
Insert the relevant DVD, as required in the prompt. The system message lists the
files it has copied and their location in the stage area directory.
To begin an installation of the Relase 12 applications and database, perform the following steps:
1. At the prompt, invoke the Installation wizard by executing the following command:
>$ cd /stage12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
>$ ./rapidwiz
2. The rapid install wizard page appears and check for the products to be installed and Click Next to continue.
3. Select wizard appease. Select the Install Oracle Applications Release 12. Click Next.
4. Accept the Oracle Agreement in order to continue with installation:
5. Enter the CSI Number and metalink id and also mention the country name as below. Click next
6. For new installation select the option Create a new configuration and click Continue.
7. Specify the port pool number for the application. Here port pool is mentioned as 50. Click Next.
8. Mention the Database type, SID, Host name, domain name, databse OS user and database OS group. Click Next.
9. Specify all the Datbase node paths. Click Next.
10. Enter the primary application node details. click Next.
11. Enable all the services for the primary node. click the ok button.
12. Mention the paths of the application paths. Click Next to continue.
13. Click Next.
14. Monitor the System check status for any errors.
15. Check for all validations. Fix related issues if any check fails.
16. Click Next.
17. This completes your setup task for installation & installer will prompt you to confirm Oracle Applications R12 Installation. Click ok.
18. Start of installation.
19. Review the Post install checks screen and click Next.
