Installation of oracle apps 11.5.10.2

Installing Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3

Description :

This Documentations covers the details about the patches which we need to download and the process of applying patches and also step by step installation process for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 on OEL5.3d

• Install the following non-standard packages:
  
  The following packages are not part of the OEL 5 or RHEL 5 distribution media and must be installed manually:
  
  * compat-libstdc++-egcs-1.1.2-11
  * compat-libcwait-2.1-11
  * compat-oracle-el5-1.0-51
  * openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL51
  * binutils-2.152
  
  The following packages must be installed from the OEL 5 or RHEL 5 distribution media:
  
  * libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5
  * compat-libgcc-296-2.96-138
  * compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61
  * compat-db-4.2.52-5.1
  
  → Comment out the /lib/libcwait.so line from /etc/ld.so.preload
  
  For Oracle Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 customers, the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable should be unset before starting the installation. The installation fails when the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable is set by the adgetlnxver.sh file during the course of the installation. Patch 6365595 contains the fix for adgetlnxver.sh file. The procedure below is a guideline for replacing the adgetlnxver.sh file in the Oracle Applications 11i shiphome.
• 1. Download the patch 6365595 from OracleMetalink.
  
  2. Follow the Oracle Applications Installation guide and set up the stage area.
  
  3. Set the STAGE_TOP environment variable to the top level directory of the stage area that contains the subdirectories startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraiAS and oraAppDB. Make sure that the stage area is read writable.
  
  # export STAGE_TOP=/stage/software/stage11i10.2
  # export PATCH_TOP=/stage/software/stage11i10.2/oel5rpms/6365595
  
  4. Create the following directories in the stage area.
  # mkdir -p $STAGE_TOP/oraDB/Disk3/db/stage/appsutil/bin
  # mkdir -p $STAGE_TOP/oraApps/Disk5/appl/stage/bin
  5. Copy the adgetlnxver.sh file in the patch 6365595 to the following directories created in earlier step.
  # cp -p $PATCH_TOP/ad/bin/adgetlnxver.sh $STAGE_TOP/oraDB/Disk3/db/stage/appsutil/bin
  # cp -p $PATCH_TOP/ad/bin/adgetlnxver.sh $STAGE_TOP/oraApps/Disk5/appl/stage/bin
  
  6. Update the zip archive with the fix (adgetlnxver.sh file).
  # cd $STAGE_TOP/oraDB/Disk3/db/stage
  # zip -u dboh0_appsutil appsutil/bin/adgetlnxver.sh
  # cd $STAGE_TOP/oraApps/Disk5/appl/stage
  # zip -u ad_CORE bin/adgetlnxver.sh
• Download and apply the OS library patch 6078836 from OracleMetaLink and create the following symbolic link:
  # ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 /usr/lib/libdb.so.3
  
  # Verify that the host name setting is correct. The command should return a fully qualified host name. For example: <host_name>.<domain_name>.
  
  # hostname -f

• add the following to .bash_profile for oracle and applmgr users and execute in the root session doing the install:
  
  export LD_PRELOAD32=/lib/libcwait.so
  export KSH_VERSION='PD KSH'
  export LDEMULATION='elf_i386'
• For Oracle Enteprise Linux and Red Hat Enteprise Linux 5 Update 3 (5.3), users will see a failure when running Rapid Install. Users must edit the file $STAGE_TOP/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin/runWizard.sh and comment out lines 122-125, as in:
  
  # if test "$exit_code" == "0" ; then
  # LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
  # export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
  # fi
• If we get the Error RW-50004: Error code received when running external process

Create Softlink for a library file shown as below

# cd /usr/lib

# ln -sf libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

• Reboot the system and start the rapid installation process
