Hi,

I'm installing now R12 on linux redhat 4 machine. i have enough space (175GB FREE). I ran the RapidWiz and it was interrupted. When i checked the log it looks like this
<<
Enter the location of the CD labeled Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Databases Disk 1 :

Checking Disk contents in - /mnt/temp/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
Checking Disk contents in - /mnt/temp/StageR12/oraAppDB/Disk1
Checking Disk contents in - /mnt/temp/StageR12/oraAppDB/Disk1


Unzip Count:195

Processing Disk1....
....2..3.4....10

Processing Disk11....

Unzip Failed:

Unable to complete install of database
>>

When i checked Disk11 in the stage area, it has many zip files. I did UNZIP -T to test the zip files and i found this corrupted one:

--> unzip -t data_dat1172.zip
Archive: data_dat1172.zip
testing:
tx_data51.dbf bad CRC
50fdc778 (should be defcddda)
At least one error was
detected in data_dat1172.zip.
!!!!

Zip tool version is: UnZip 5.51

I'm trying to replace it by the same file from the original DVDs but couldn't dind it. Should I manage to unzip it manually? If yes, will it work ?

Appreciate your help
Firas

 

Firas,
From where you staged CD ? (downloaded or from Oracle's DVD pack) source or while staging zip might be corrupted . Unzip manually or download this CD again from edelivery

 

Hi Atul,
I created the Stage area from DVDs pack from Oracle.

i tried to unzip the file manually, it created the file but is it a valid one as when i tested the zip file (post above) I gor a BAD CRC problem ??
Could i keep the current stage area and change only the oraAppDB/Disk11 ?? How ??

Please advise
Thanks
Firas

 

Hi again,

Actually i have unzipped the file manually and the rapidwiz continued. Now when it reached the post-install checks screen, there was a problem in the database availability. When i tried to open the database, i got this error im alert.log:

ORA-00202: control file: '/u01/oracler12/db/apps_st/data/cntrl01.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
Fri Mar 2 23:20:02 2007
ORA-205 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE MOUNT...

I really can't find the control files in the data directory or anywhere!!!

Now i'm doing egrep to fetch the stage area zip files and get them from there. Is that OK?

Any ideas?
Please advise.

Thanks a lot in advance
Firas
Any ideas

 

Firas,
This should not be the case , I did installation after downloading CD's from edelivery & it went smooth . You can try copying cntrol file from staging area.

Make sure your prereq. steps are done & you have required zip & other operating system RPM's

 

Hi Atul,

Thanks for taking time to reply.

I have done all the pre-steps required. Anyway i'll double check and see. Then i will update this post

Thanks a lot
Firas

 

Hi Atul,

Actually i downloaded all required rpms but when i tried to install them. It failed ( Install and upgrade as well) because of conflict with old ones.

Please notice that i have Vision 11.5.10.2 Vision on this server too. Now all old vision processes including DB are down to install R12.

Anyway, it seems that one of the files in the DVDs is corrupted. That's why i started staging again using new DVDs pack. Of course i have to clean and restart as you said. Hopefully it will work.

Appreciate your help Atul.

Regards
Firas

 

Hi Atul/All,
I hav an assignment wherein i have to make a report on the problems we could face when we install Oracle Apps single node multi installation(say 3) on a single server. Example we can have problems when we have to login using the same userid unlike unix where we can set bash profile.Would expect some response soon
Thanks

Hi Atul,

My Qn:
Regarding R12 installation:
In the PC first you installed Windows-Vista, then installed VMware so it become virtual-machine, then you installed LINUX under the Virtual-machine, then R12 installed under LINUX.

Could you tell me this system is become dual-booting?

When we start the system, is it wait for to select Win or Linux, or Virtual Machine?

Also,
Why you installed R12 under VMware? Is it for RAC environment?


Thanks and Regards,

Jo.

Jo,
I installed VMWare on top of windows operating system & in windows operation system using VMware I created a linux virtual machine (So this is not dual boot) Boot is single only i.e. Windows. each time I start my machine on windows then start VMware software from programs on windws & then start linux machine on this VM software . Advantage of installing this way is that I got windows & linux at same time & I prefer apps on linux

 

Thanks Adul for the answer.

Regards,
Jo.

 

Hi Kumar.

I have installed apps 12 on my laptop using external hard disk as u explained.

I have laptop 1 => windows vista (internal HDD) => VM Ware (internal HDD) = > linux 32 (external HDD) => apps R12 (external HDD).

I have laptop 2 => windows vista (internal HDD) => VM Ware (internal HDD).

1.Can I use my External HDD to run apps 12 using my Laptop 2?

OR

2.If I plug my External HDD onto another Laptop with VM Ware will it work? If YES what configurations are required?

 

Yes you can provided you copy virtual linux server configuration file & virtual disk (If any of this is on laptop1)

If virtual server configuration file and harddisk file are on external hard disk then connect HDD to laptop 2 and then create linux virtual machine on laptop 2 using configuration file created on laptop 1 .

For more info check VMware site on how to move virtual machine across server

HI Atul...
My R12 installation(in linux ver3) was successfull.After the installation i was able to up the listner n database but i encountered "STATUS 4" while trying to up the "APPLICATION(adstrall.sh)"...And cos of this am not able to up the forms on the frontend..

 

Mahesh,
In R12 services are started and stopped using opmn on apps tier. Check log files to see which script/component failed and error message associated with that .

Some solution or help from others can be obtained from forum at http://teachmeoracle.com/forum

Atul

 

Hi Atul...
Now the STATUS 4 error(in Appli Tier) is solved but still facing the same prob... " FRONTEND THE FORMS ARE NOT OPENING (But Web based icons are opening)"...
Is it cos i made any mistake while applying the O.S patch(linux 3)??

 

Was installation successful ?

Can you start forms server ?

Is forms server Up ?

Kindly raise any questions / issues in http://teachMeOracle.com/forum

Do i need to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL = 2.4.19 for installing Oracle EBS R12 also?

 

Hi all!

Stupid Question: if I install the whole "stuff" with the base directory in an external USB disk of my Linux box am I able to use it in another Linux box without further install?

In other words, does the installation remains confined ONLY in the BASE directory?


Many Thanks!

It will work as long as this is on virtual and virtaul linux machine is installed on external hard disk.

If this is actual machine with apps install on external hard disk it may not work when attaching it to other machine because of hostname and various other reason

 

Hi
I gust need to see the result of
fdisk -l , and df on your linux machine
can i ask what you can see on the external usb hard from windows??
thanks in advance,

 

Hi Atul, Pre install check is successful while i'm installing R12 on linux X86. But post installation checks not starting http , virtual dir, login page, help. Error: RW-50015: Error: - HTTP Listener is not responding. The service might not have started on the port yet. Please check the service and use the retry button.

 

I have seen this on my instance as well few times and in most of cases this happens if memory on your system is less as darabase SGA itself is 1 GB then memory is required for various other processes so no need to worry either increase memory on system or reduce sga and memory of various other components and try accessing apps http://host.domain:port (8000 for 0 port pool)

 

Hi,
I am registering host in OAM if I want to access application running in my other machine and would like to know is there a way to give access to all the computers in that network ?

Thanks
Kiyas

Hi Atul,

Can u tell me which VMware u installed on top of ur Windows OS?

I'm looking to install Oracle APPS on my Ext HD after installing Linux on it. But I don't want to remove the internal HD of my laptop (because it's a hassle in mine). Oracle VM Server is an OS by itself and so will have to set for dual boot. But u have mentioned that ur system is a single-boot system only.

So I was wondering.. which VMware did u use?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Srikanth,

Thank you for this great post!

Only one question...

Can you specify exactly the necessary packages that must be installed on Enterprise Linux 5 for a Oracle Apps R12 Installation?

Regards

 

Are you aware of a way to install a Vision instance specifying an ASM diskgroup in rapidwiz?

 

Hi
Wanted to create stage for R12. However my server is not yet ready (hardware changes required), and to save time, I was wondering if I can create the stage on linux 32bit system in the meantime. (server is 64bit).
If i create the stage on a 32bit system is it usable on a 64bit?
