Linux Containers (LXC)
Linux Containers (LXC) is a lightweight virtualization solution that
enables running multiple Linux instances that are isolated from each
other on the same host. These LXC instances have processes that have
their own private view of the OS with its own process id (PID) space,
file system structure and network interfaces. LXC allows the use of
container OS versions that are different from that of the host - for
example, one can run OL 5, 6 or 7 Containers in an Oracle Linux 6.6
host.
Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2's application tier is certified with LXC
with the UEK R3 (QU6 or higher) - users must review associated
documentation and meet the following requirements:
- Operating Systems requirements - see 'Supported Oracle Linux Container Versions' in the Documentation References section below
- Kernel Requirements - Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) Release 3 Quarterly Update 6 (3.8.13-98) or higher
- Host RPM requirements for the following x86_64 lxc userspace packages:
- lxc-1.0.7-2.0.8 or higher
- lxc-libs-1.0.7-2.0.8 or higher
- Check and configure kernel parameters, ulimit settings (in
limits.conf) and swap size requirements on the host as documented in the
'Other Requirements' section of this document
- The LXC container running 12.2 must be created with the "--privileged" flag
- Install all required RPM packages on the Container following the 'Operating Systems Requirements' section of this document
- Check and configure certain container-specific kernel parameters and
ulimit settings (in limits.conf) on the Container as documented in the
'Other Requirements' section
of this document. These values should be equal to or less than the
values set on the host (see Linux documentation in the section below). Specific kernel parameter values to be configured on the Container are:
- kernel.sem
- kernel.shmall
- kernel.shmmax
- kernel.shmmni
- kernel.msgmax
- kernel.msgmnb
- kernel.msgmni

SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux)
SELinux is a security enhancement to Linux allowing system
administrators finer control over access to system resources by users
and applications.
Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Oracle Linux version 6,
SELinux is enabled by default during OS installation with a mode of
'enforcing'. The status of SELinux in a system can be checked by running
the 'sestatus' command - other modes are 'disabled' where SELinux is
disabled completely, and 'permissive' where warnings are logged to a
file but is not strictly enfored. The file /etc/selinux/config is the
main SELinux configuration file that sets the mode and policy of SELinux
in a system, while warnings are logged to /var/log/messages. Please
check and review vendor-specific documentation for further details on
SELinux administration and maintenance.
Release 12.2 has not yet been fully tested or certified with SELinux on
RHEL/Oracle Linux 6 or higher with the use of the 'enforcing' mode
enabled. Users may find issues currently with the 'enforcing' mode with
12.2 - the use of the 'permissive' mode should be used as an
alternative.
Java Requirements
A number of Java Development Kits (JDK) and Java Runtime Environments
(JRE) are included with Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2, the
associated Oracle Database (11gR2), and the bundled Application Server
components (
10gR2 Forms/Reports, WebLogic Server 11gR1).
The E-Business Suite's use of the Java runtime environment for
application tier (WLS) processing is with JDK version 6 bundled in the
"<FMW_HOME>/jrockit64" directory for startCD 46 and JDK version 7
in "<COMMON_TOP>/util/jdk64" for startCD 47 and higher.
For more information regarding the use of Java, refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1530033.1, Using the Latest JDK 7.0 Update with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.

Additional Information: Check the Oracle Java website for any updates to the JDK requirements for Linux x86-64 (64-bit): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index.html
and review the need to upgrade the above listed Java versions for
particular Linux x86-64 systems if necessary. Please review the My Oracle Support Note 418664.1 ('Overview of Using Java with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12') for requirements and instructions. |
Note: Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 users should upgrade their JDK versions to officially certified versions (1.7.0_67 or higher).
Customers are advised to review and follow the instructions
posted in the documents below to upgrade to the latest available JDK
versions either prior to a clone or after a fresh install:
|
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.
- ar
- gcc
- g++
- ksh
- ld
- linux32
- make
- X Display Server
Other Requirements
The following are other requirements for Linux x86-64 (64-bit).
Swap Space
It is recommended that the swap space on the system be 16 GB or more. To
determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following
command:
If necessary, see the operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.
Patching Oracle E-Business Suite
| Note: When querying for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 patches on My Oracle Support and
selecting Linux x86-64 in the Platform dropdown list, it will
re-direct you to a Linux x86 patch. This patch may be applied to 64-bit
Linux operating systems. |
Patching Fusion Middleware in Oracle E-Business Suite
When applying OPatch patches to Fusion Middleware, users must run opatch with the '-jdk <
$FMW_HOME/webtier/jdk>' option due to a bug with opatch. For example,
Kernel Settings
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings to the
minimum values shown below. 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 that should be set for the OS:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|
| kernel.semmsl | 2561 |
| kernel.semmns | 320001 |
| kernel.semopm | 1001 |
| kernel.semmni | 1421 |
| kernel.shmall | 20971524 |
| kernel.shmmax | Half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least 42949672952 |
| kernel.shmmni | 4096 |
| kernel.msgmax | 8192 |
| kernel.msgmnb | 65535 |
| kernel.msgmni | 2878 |
| fs.file-max | 6815744 |
| fs.aio-max-nr | 1048576 |
| net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range | 9000 655003 |
| net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle | 05 |
| net.core.rmem_default | 262144 |
| net.core.rmem_max | 4194304 |
| net.core.wmem_default | 262144 |
| net.core.wmem_max | 1048576 |
1: set using the following entry in the /etc/sysctl.conf file
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
2: If running the database tier separately, the kernel
parameter on the server hosting the Database must be the higher of half
the size of the physical memory (in bytes) and 4294967295
3:
The values recommended for the local port range may need to be adjusted
according to the specific needs of the user's environment in order to
avoid port conflicts.
4: The listed value is the minimum
requirement - we recommend an actual setting that is at least equal to
the sum of all the SGAs on the system, divided by the page size.
5:
The value of this parameter is recommended to be 0 (disabled, which is
the default value) for most modern systems. This parameter can also be
omitted from the sysctl.conf file for this default value to be in
effect. This resolves an issue previously documented with Forms
potentially hanging on Windows when switching between desktop
applications.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 10 and 11, ensure that you set
the following kernel parameter to the gid of the group used as the dba
group. For example, on a system using a group named dba with the
dba:!:104:oracle entry in the /etc/group file, the hugetlb_shm_group
kernel parameter should be set to the following value:
vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 104
Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameters
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 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 Host Names
Use the following to verify host name settings:
For Oracle Linux 5, 6 and 7, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7:
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]
- Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]
or as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name]
NISDOMAIN=[domain_name]
- If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.
- If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.
For SUSE Linux SLES 10 and 11:
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]
- If you changed any files in the previous step, restart the system.
Modify ulimit settings in limits.conf
Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing ulimit
settings 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 below, do not change the value of
that parameter as the following are suggested minimum values. |
* hard nofile 65536
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nproc 2047
* hard stack 16384
* soft stack 10240
Threading Model in Linux must be NPTL
There are two threading models implemented in Linux - LinuxThreads (an
older implementation which is not supported starting in glibc 2.4) and
the modern NPTL (Native POSIX Threads Library). In order to install and
run the E-Business Suite on Linux, the NPTL model must be the configured
threading implementation for the operating system. This can be checked
with the command:
# getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.3.4
E-Business Suite Pre-Install RPM (available for Oracle Linux 5 and 6)
The package (oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall) for Oracle Linux 5 and 6 is available on the
Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN, which requires a support contract) or from the
Oracle public yum repository
for both Oracle Linux 5 and 6. It is recommended that this rpm be
installed on top of a 'minimal' install of Linux to provide just the
necessary packages to install and run Oracle E-Business Suite.
As with the Oracle RDBMS Pre-Install RPMs, this package installs all
required E-Business Suite RPM packages for both the application and
database tiers while configuring the environments with particular kernel
and other values to meet most of the requirements published in this
document.
This pre-install rpm will significantly reduce the preparation time of
the environment prior to installing, upgrading or cloning an
E-Business Suite R12 instance by performing the
following tasks:
- downloading and installing all software package versions and dependencies required for installing E-Business Suite R12
- creating the users oracle and applmgr for use as owners of the
database and application tiers respectively, while setting hard and soft
shell resource limits in /etc/security/limits.conf for Oracle Linux 5
and in /etc/security/limits.d/oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall.conf for
Oracle Linux 6
- updating kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf to recommended values
- sets DNS resolver parameters in /etc/resolv.conf to minimum recommended values
- sets 'numa=off' in the kernel commandline
- disables 'Transparent Huge Pages (THP)' for Oracle Linux 6 if it is enabled
The following are steps needed to install the rpm using public-yum, with sample output from an Oracle Linux 6 installation:
1. As an authorized user (such as root), retrieve the file that configures repository locations:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
For Oracle Linux 5, users should replace 'public-yum-ol6.repo' with 'public-yum-el5.repo' above.
2. Using a text editor, change the field 'enabled=0' to 'enabled=1' for
the repositories corresponding to the machine's operating system while
also enabling the 'addons' channel. Here's an example of a repo file's
entries:
[ol6_latest]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/
gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
[ol6_addons]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/$basearch/
gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
3. Install the rpm for Oracle E-Business Suite by running yum:
# yum install oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall

Complete!
Detailed log and backup files are available under /var/log/oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall.
| Note: Users of the pre-install
rpm on Oracle Linux 5 should check to ensure that the unixODBC rpm was
installed as there is a known issue with the inclusion of this in the OL
5 repository. If this rpm is missing, users need to download and
install it manually. |
4. While the above installation of the pre-install rpm
includes all required packages and sets kernel parameters and other
system values, it is still necessary to perform a few additional steps
prior to using this environment for an E-Business Suite installation:
4a. Ensure that swap space meets the requirements as documented in the 'Swap Space' section.
4b. Ensure that the hostname settings meet the requirements as documented in the ' Verifying Host Names' section.
4c. Check threading model as documented in the 'Threading Model in Linux must be NPTL' section.
4d. Check for OPMN port conflict.
4e. Check /etc/services for size as documented below .
5. Users can now install the E-Business Suite using the Rapid Install by
using the rapidwiz utility after correctly downloading and staging the
E-Business Suite media as documented in the 'Oracle E-Business Suite
Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install' available from Oracle Documentation:
$ cd /u01/StageR122/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin
$ buildStage.sh
$ cd ..
$ ./rapidwiz
Users should review the Installation Guide for further details, as well as Release Update Pack (RUP) READMEs as applicable.
Before Installing or Upgrading
| Note: If the Release 12.2
installation or upgrade is performed with the Rapid Install wizard
(either a new R12 installation or upgrade from 11i, 12.0 or 12.1 to
12.2), it is recommended to use the latest startCD version in
order to obtain the newest set of patches and other technologies
required to successfully install and run E-Business Suite. Please review
the 'Current Version of startCD ' section of the My Oracle Support Document 1320300.1 ('Oracle E-Business Suite Release Notes, Release 12.2 ') for more information. |
Complete all operating system requirements, software requirements, and
other requirements before installing or upgrading Oracle E-Business
Suite.
Upgrade Oracle Database and Oracle Web Tier (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
Customers on existing 12.2 systems who are cloning to the above
operating systems must first upgrade the Oracle Database to 11gR2
(11.2.0.4 or higher) or 12c (12.1.0.2 or higher) on the source 12.2
environment following the respective documents:
Customers on existing 12.2 systems (who installed with a startCD version
of 49 or ealier) who are cloning to the above operating systems must
first upgrade the Oracle Web Tier to 11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) or higher on
the source 12.2 environment following the document:
Note (for upgrades to Web Tier 11.1.1.7 only):1. When installing Web Tier 11.1.1.7, apply patch 19854840 and follow the patch README to start the installer
2. Apply patch 21081177 as a post install step (to fix the issue
with OHS start up failing with missing library libpcre.so.0)
3. Apply patch 19458142 as a post-upgrade step
4. Run preclone to update files in the <COMMON_TOP> directory |
Customers who installed 12.2 starting with startCD 50 or later do not
have to upgrade Oracle Web Tier prior to a clone as startCD 50 delivers
version 11.1.1.7.
Customers who are performing a fresh install of the E-Business Suite on
these operating systems using Rapid Install may need to upgrade these
technology components after the installation of EBS 12.2 (see section
below in '
After Installing or Upgrading').
Upgrade JDK (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
Customers on existing 12.2 systems (who installed with a startCD version
of 46) who are cloning to the above operating systems must review and
follow the instructions posted in the doucments below to upgrade to the
latest available JDK versions if necessary:
Apply EBS Patches (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
Customers on existing 12.2 systems who are cloning to the above
operating systems must first apply the following patches on the source
12.2 environment:
| 1:These
two patches are only required if the existing EBS 12.2 system is 12.2
RUP 4 (12.2.4) or earlier as these patches are included in 12.2 RUP 5
(12.2.5). |
OPMN port conflict
| Attention: By default, the OPMN service of the
Application Server technology stack listens on port 6000 when started
up during Rapid Install. This can conflict with the X11 port used for
the graphics console on Linux servers and prevent Rapid Install from
completing. |
To address this issue, perform the following steps before installing or upgrading:
- Check if the port 6000 is being used ("netstat -a | grep 6000")
- If so, you should disable the graphics console login process on the
Linux server. This can be accomplished by logging in as root and
issuing the following commands:
- Find the process that uses port 6000 by the command "lsof -i TCP:6000".
- Use "kill -9" to abort the process found in the previous step
- Confirm that nothing is listening at port 6000 ("netstat -a | grep 6000")
- Modify /etc/inittab by changing "id:5:initdefault:" to "id:3:initdefault:"
- Run "/sbin/init 3" to restart dtlogin
Unset environment variable before installing (for SLES 10 and 11 only)
Unset the ENV environment variable prior to installing (to avoid failure
of the registration of the 10.1.2 Oracle Home during install):
Check /etc/services for size
To avoid a Java stack overflow during the registration of the 10.1.2
Oracle Home while installing 12.2, it is necessary to backup the
/etc/services file, remove commented lines in the file and then restore
the file after installing 12.2 if there are a large number of
commented lines (> ~1300) in the file.
Installing or Upgrading
Perform the installation or upgrade following the documentation (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install, Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.2 or Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide: Release 12.0 and 12.1 to 12.2) relevant to the specific installation or upgrade scenario described above.
Ignore Web Server Install Pre-requisite check failure in startCD 49 or earlier (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
While installing EBS 12.2 and its required technology components (Fusion
Middleware and Database) using startCD 49 or earlier on the above
operating systems, Rapid Install may report pre-requisite check failures
such as:
Check Name:CertifiedVersions
Check Description:This is a prerequisite condition to test whether the Oracle software is certified on the current O/S or not.
Expected result: One of redhat-6,oracle-6,oracle-5.6,oracle-5.7,oracle-5.8,enterprise-5.4,enterprise-4,enterprise-5,redhat-5.4,redhat-4,redhat-5,SuSE-10,SuSE-11
Actual Result: oracle-7.0
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
This error can be ignored as the issue will be addressed after the Web
Tier is upgraded to 11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) as a post-install step (see
below).
Starting with startCD 50, this error will not be seen.
Ignore link error during Web Server Install in startCD 49 or earlier (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
While installing EBS 12.2 and its required technology components (Fusion
Middleware and Database) using startCD 49 or earlier on the above
operating systems, users may see link errors such as:
Error in invoking target 'install' of makefile '/d1/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/webcache/lib/ins_calypso.mk'.......

/d1/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/lib/libdms2.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ]]
These errors can be ignored as the issue will be addressed after the Web
Tier is upgraded to 11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) as a post-install step (see
below).
Starting with startCD 50, this error will not be seen.
Ignore Web Server Install Pre-requisite and Database Pre-install check warnings (SLES 11 only)
While installing EBS 12.2 and its required technology components (Fusion
Middleware and Database), users can ignore specific warnings pertaining
to missing rpms such as:
- libgcc43-4.3.3_20081022
- libstdc++43-4.3.3_20081022-11.18
- libstdc++43-32bit-4.3.3_20081022
Ignore HTTP server check failure in post Rapid Install checks (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
During post-install checks, the HTTP server checks might fail with the following errors:
/d1/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/ohs/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
httpd.worker: Syntax error on line 1042 of
/d1/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/webtier/instances/EBS_web_PROD_OHS1/config/OHS/EBS_web_PROD/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 30 of

/ohs/modules/mod_security2.so into server: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
These errors can be ignored as the issue will be addressed after the Web
Tier is upgraded to 11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) as a post-install step (see
below).
After Installing or Upgrading
Perform the following steps after installing or upgrading to Release 12.2 and before allowing users to access the system.
Create dynamic linker runtime bindings for Oracle Reports (SLES 10 and 11 installs using startCD 46 with Java 6 only)
When running Reports such as 'Active User' Concurrent Reports, the
shared library libmawt may not be found for the executable rwrun and can
error out. One way to fix this is to perform the following as superuser
or root on the application tier system:
- Create a rwrun.conf file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d and add "<10.1.2 OH>/jdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt" to this file where <10.1.2> is replaced with the actual 10.1.2 (Forms/Reports) Oracle Homes. For example:
# cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
# touch rwrun.conf
# echo "/d1/oracle/PROD/fs1/EBSapps/10.1.2/jdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt" > rwrun.conf
# echo "/d1/oracle/PROD/fs2/EBSapps/10.1.2/jdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt" >> rwrun.conf
- Run the ldconfig command to load the library path configuration:
This issue does not arise when installing using startCD 47 (which
includes Java 7) or higher, and so the above commands are not needed for
12.2 environments created with the startCD 47 or higher.
Upgrade Oracle Database
Customers who have performed a fresh installation of EBS 12.2 must now
upgrade the Oracle Database to 11gR2 (11.2.0.4 or higher) or 12c
(12.1.0.2 or higher) on the new 12.2 environment following the
respective documents:
Note:1. When installing 11.2.0.4
on Oracle Linux 7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the warning regarding
missing package 'pdksh-5.2.14' during pre-requisite checks can be
ignored.
2. When installing 11.2.0.4 on Oracle Linux 7 or
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, users may see the installer error in
invoking target 'agent nmhs' of makefile with the log file showing an
undefined reference to symbol 'B_DestroyKeyObject'. Users should review
and implement the workaround noted in the document:
|
Upgrade Oracle Web Tier (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
Customers who have performed a fresh installation of EBS 12.2 on OL/RHEL
7 using startCD 49 or earlier must upgrade the Oracle Web Tier to
11.1.1.7 (11gR1 PS6) or higher following the document:
The Web Tier should be upgraded after applying the latest 12.2 Release
Update Pack (12.2.3 or higher) to the newly installed12.2.0 environment.
Note (for upgrades to Web Tier 11.1.1.7 only):
1. When installing Web Tier 11.1.1.7, apply patch
19854840 and follow the patch README to start the installer. If an error
window pops up ("Error in invoking target 'install' of makefile '<FMW_HOME>/webtier/webcache/lib/ins_calypso.mk'"
), click 'Continue' and ignore the error. This will be addressed
during the application of the patch 19458142 below.
2. Apply the following patches as a post install step for Web Tier:
- 21081177(to fix the issue with OHS start up failing with missing library libpcre.so.0)
- 19458142 |
Customers who are cloning an existing EBS environment (installed with
startCD 49 or earlier) to a new OL/RHEL 7 system must upgrade Oracle Web
Tier prior to performing the clone (as noted above in the '
Before Installing or Upgrading' section).
Beginning with startCD 50, this Web Tier upgrade step is not necessary
as the Oracle Web Tier version delivered with EBS Rapid Install is
version 11.1.1.7.
Upgrade JDK (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
Customers who have performed a fresh installation of EBS 12.2 with
startCD 46 must review and follow the instructions posted in the
doucments below to upgrade to the latest available JDK versions:
Starting with startCD 47, this upgrade step is not necessary as the JDK version delivered with EBS is JDK 7.
Apply EBS Patches (Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7 only)
Customers who have performed a fresh installation of EBS 12.2 must now apply the following patch on the new 12.2 environment:
| 1:These two patches are not required if installing 12.2 RUP 5 (12.2.5) or higher as they are included in that RUP. |
LD_LIBRARY_PATH Environment Variable
Dynamic libraries are used as part of the relinking and execution
processes. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is used by Oracle
E-Business Suite to locate the required dynamic libraries at runtime -
this variable is set by the Rapid Install wizard during the installation
of EBS as well as by the Rapid Clone script (adcfgclone) when
configuring the target system.
If you need to change these values, use the Edit Parameters function of
the OAM AutoConfig tool (by logging in as 'System Administrator'
responsibility, clicking on 'System Administrator', selecting
'AutoConfig' under 'Oracle Applications Manager', and clicking on the
'Environments' tab):
On each application tier server node:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in three places:
- $APPL_TOP/admin/adovars.env
- $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.2/[CONTEXT_NAME].env, in the 10.1.2 Oracle home directory
In the AutoConfig interface, this corresponds to:
| Location | Parameter |
|---|
| adovars | LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| tools_home (10.1.2) | LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
On the database server node:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in $ORACLE_HOME/[CONTEXT_NAME].env which corresponds in the AutoConfig interface to:
| Location | Parameter |
|---|
| db_home | LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
After making these changes, run AutoConfig (adautocfg.sh) to implement the changes on the application and database tiers.
| Additional Information: See AutoConfig in Oracle E-Business Suite Maintenance Utilities for more information on AutoConfig. |
Net Service Listeners in Multi-user Installations
Net Service Listeners use the /var/tmp/.oracle directory to store
temporary files. To give all users in a multi-user installation write
privileges, update /var/tmp/.oracle with 777 permissions:
$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/.oracle
Known Issues
The following are known issues for this release.
Advanced Supply Chain Planning product (MSO) may crash when increasing number of threads for optimization
The 64-bit Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning executable MSONWL64.exe
may crash when increasing the number of threads for optimization on a
system with insufficient memory (bug 7259631). The following error is
observed when this occurs:
**** glibc detected *** MSONWL64.exe: corrupted double-linked list:
0x00002aaaac0008b0 ****
Patching Application Server Oracle Homes using OPatch (Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 only)
After an installation or clone of Release 12, you will need to set the
OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID to '226' prior to applying patches to the 10.1.2
Application Server Oracle Home. For example, in the "ksh" shell:
$ OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID=226; export OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID
This step is needed to avoid an OPatch Config Assistant failure.
Errors while running ADOP - AD Online Patching (SLES 10 and 11 only)
While running the utility ADOP on SLES, users may see errors such as
sh: mc: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
sh: error importing function definition for `mc'
This is due to the mc ('midnight commander') utility on SUSE being
defined differently as a function with multiple lines. There is no
functional loss or ramifications due to these error messages.
In order to avoid these error messages, users can choose to run the following before running ADOP:
To re-enable mc after running ADOP, they can use the following command::
Error while cloning on Red Hat/Oracle Linux 5.5 with the UEK kernel
While attempting to clone E-Business Suite 12.2 on a Red Hat or Oracle
Linux 5 Update 5 (5.5) with its associated Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
(UEK) version 2.6.32-100.0.19, a failure will be seen during the clone
phase of OHS (Web Tier) as the OUI pre-requisite checks do not include
this version of the UEK.
This can be worked around by upgrading the UEK to the latest available
version that is available on the public yum repository as documented
here.
Errors in log files when starting Admin Server during multi-node shared file installation
Customers who have installed the modules package (environment-modules)
may see errors during multi-node shared file installations in log files
such as:
Starting WLS Admin Server...
sh: module: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
sh: error importing function definition for 'module'
Customers can avoid this by either unsetting the 'module' environment
variable in the shell where they're installing 12.2, or by uninstalling
the environment-modules rpm if they're not using the features of the
modules package.
