MULTI NODE INSTALLATION OF ORACLE APPS(R12)

Once unzipped you need to navigate to 

startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz directory.

Here you will be able to see rapidwiz executable 

# ./rapidwiz

Select the Oracle Applications Release 12.1.1

Select suitable option if you need to download updates

Select [New Configuration]

Select the port pool, I have chosen the default i.e. 0, for my env.

Enter DB host info along with user and group

Select [Suite Licensing]

Install the languages if you need multi-lingual support

Enter Application Node info along with owner and group

Review the info you entered for hosts. You can also add 

Additional Nodes here for Application tier file system

Now the OUI will perform the pre-checks before the actual installation kicks in

Review the Validation Report. check the failed ones and click 

on Retry

Installation will kick in, keep an eye on it. It will usually take around couple of hours depending on the speed of your machine

Once installation completes, the post install validation box will 

reappear. Make sure everything is green before going further

At the end, click on Finish to end the installation of DB tier.

Next step is to install the application tier on appsnode host.

Before you start the install of the App tier you need to copy the 

config file from DB tier to apps tier.

To do this there are two ways

    1. Copy <sid>_<host>.xml file aka context file to appsnode

    2. start the install by issuing ./rapidwiz and provide the DB 

details to copy the config from DB


One can copy context file as follows

[oracle@appsdbnode appsutil]$ cd 

/u01/app/oracle/visr12/db/tech_st/11.1.0/appsutil

[oracle@appsdbnode appsutil]$ scp conf_visr12.txt 

 appsnode:/home/oracle/

conf_visr12.txt                                                                               

   100%   13KB  12.8KB/s   00:00

click on [Saved configuration] option, and enter the path 

copied 

context file 

check the validation report to make sure everything is healthy.

Click on [Next]

Review the progress of the installation

After install was finished, my post install checks failed as my 

HTTP server failed to start hence all other dependencies failed

Cause - 
After a bit of research I found out that the start failed due to the 

fact it failed to locate on library component and fix is the create 

the link for that missing component 




Solution -

[root@appsnode ~]# ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 

/usr/lib/libdb.so.2

[oracle@appsnode scripts]$ adstrtal.sh  apps/apps

[oracle@appsnode scripts]$ adopmnctl.sh status

You are running adopmnctl.sh version 120.6

Checking status of OPMN managed processes...

After manually start the opmn stack, I click on [Retry] on 

validation page of installer and there you go. Everything came 

up

click on [Finish] to end the install

Post install, I tried to login to Apps console using following 

URL. 

URL Format : http://<hostname.domain>:<port_pool_no>

URL - http://appsnode.localdomain:8000

use default credentials - sysadmin/sysadmin to login console

That's it. You have now successfully installed the EBS R12.1.1 

successfully.

Next -

Apply 12.1.2 or 12.1.3 RUP to Apps R12 (12.1.1)
