APPS 11i on Linux

Has anyone worked on Apps 11i on Linux ?
What version of Linux is required to install R11i ?
Thanks in advance.

You need Kernel version 2.2 or higher. I installed 11i on Redhat 6.1 which has 2.2.12-20 with out much problem. The only thing you might want to down load is the Motif Open Libraries from www.metrolink.com.
These libraies will be needed for bringing up the forms server after installation. Redhat does not ship these lib's with it.

  • Running Apps 11i on Linux with 200 concurrent users

    Hi,
    Is there anybody out there running a large apps 11i installation (with the
    database and middle tier) on Linux ?
    We are currently running 11.5.9 Apps with a 9.2 database on Sun kit but I'd
    like to investigate Linux/Intel as we are planning to replace our hardware.
    We have about 200 concurrent users, with a total of 1800 registered users, using
    Financials, i-Procurement and HR.
    Thanks
    Tony Vallis

    Having worked extensively on Linux, its true that is is limitied in 32 bit mode to addressing a few GB of memory for each application (It is at least better than windows with its 2/3GB limit), although you can play around with it and memory windows to get more out of it for the database tier.
    We have used 1 * 6650 with 8GB RAM running AS 2.1 DB Tier
    and 2 * 2650 with 8 GB RAM ruuning AS 2.1 Apps Tier with conc mgrs too.
    This was with 11.5.10 and it comfortabley supported 200 users. The servers were 2.8GHz Dual core Xeons. Redhat 3 or 4 would have been better becuase of a file cache issue on the database tier.
    Also rememeber to consider Oracle licensing, A faster CPU might cost alot more but when oracle licenses are based on core/cpus then you may save alot more by having the highest power cpus u can (MHz rating not ness cores). Sun T2000 servers are quite nifty too if you want to stay with traditional unix kit but not want the price tag.
    When workign at internally in Oracle We quoted one client a 3 * 4 CPU 6650 with 8GB in RAC config with 12 * 2 CPU 2650 with 4GB to support 5000 concurrent users. I wasnt convinced this would work at the time but the client had massively over estimated the number of users they would actually have so all was fine.
    If I was doing this now I would go for a single 64bit DB tier with 4 CPUs and lots of memory, I would have lots of small8gb mid tiers 2850's, with a hard ware load balancer in front and a dedicated GB backend network. I would ony go for RAC if I needed the resiliance or had a large number of users e.g. 1000+
    All in my opinion and I am in no way suggesting this as a solution for any other customers. Always perform a hardware siazing exercise in conjunction with your hardware vendor (remembering they always want you to buy more hadrware than u need).

    Hi,
    As per the doc 357006.1, I downloaded a patch but even patch installation gives the same error.
    As per the 2nd doc 1076893.1, following is the output:
    # uname -a
    Linux orcl 2.6.9-89.0.25.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP...EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Not sure if 64-bit OS is causing this or not.
    Thanks

  • Install instructions for Search Modeler and integrating with Apps 11i

    Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
    Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
    There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
    I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
    o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
    o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
    o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
    o SES CPU patch apply
    o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
    o Search Modeler installation and configuration
    o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
    o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
    using aussearchdev initially

    Next need to install various oracle needed RPMs.

    we're going to go with the standalone OC4j 10.1.3.3 and Oracle ADF 10.1.3.3 method
    The URLs for these products are
    http://blogs.oracle.com/ebssearch/2009/10/available_now_oracle_search_modeler_11_for_oracle_e-business_suite_11i.html

    ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
    OC4J install
    First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
    as root on aussearchdev
    cd /usr/local

    So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
    doing this on ausernieapp
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    Country US
    State Texas
    Locality Austin
    Organization Name Corporation
    Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
    Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
    Email address [email protected]
    No challenge password
    No optional company name
    Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
    cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
    openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
    Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
    openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
    Install the private key and certificate
    cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt

    you can modify the logLevel from the default of 4 to 2 to get better debug data. No services need to be restarted, it will become active with the next crawl.
    While talking with Oracle, they mentioned the following patches

    Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
    Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
    There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
    I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
    o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
    o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
    o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
    o SES CPU patch apply
    o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
    o Search Modeler installation and configuration
    o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
    o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
    using aussearchdev initially
    rh4 x86, default oracle build
    ** htop and collectl are open source free performance monitoring packages we utilize**
    --start
    install htop and collectl

    rpm -ivh collectl-3.4.0-4.noarch.rpm
    chkconfig collectl on
    service collectl start
    **We still need to install the necessary rpms so that collectl logs are compressed
    --end
    useradd -u 501 oracle
    groupadd -g 504 dba
    usermod -G 504 oracle
    verification:

         uid=501(oracle) gid=501(oracle) groups=501(oracle),504(dba)
    passwd oracle
    ** /mnt/oraclebackup is a network dumpspot we use to hold Software installs, RPMs, etc
    ** /mnt/rpms is a network dumpspot we use to hold ISOs for OS software such as Redhat Linux
    mkdir /mnt/oraclebackup
    mkdir /mnt/rpms
    add the following to /etc/fstab
    XXXXXXX:/patches/oraclebackup /mnt/oraclebackup nfs defaults,hard,nolock 0 0
    XXXXXXX:/esxpress/nfs /mnt/rpms nfs rw,addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 0 0
    mount /mnt/rpms
    Next need to install various oracle needed RPMs.
    cd /mnt/rpms/rh40_upd8/RedHat/RPMS/
    rpm -ivh perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.el4.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh libaio-devel-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh sysstat-5.0.5-25.el4.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-1.RHEL4.1.i386.rpm
    service collectl restart
    cd /tmp
    wget http://oss.oracle.com/el4/oracle-validated/oracle-validated-1.0.0-18.el4.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh oracle-validated-1.0.0-18.el4.i386.rpm
    Now we should have all the RPMs we need.

    So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
    doing this on ausernieapp
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
    PEM key is ausernieapp
    Country US
    State Texas
    Locality Austin
    Organization Name Corporation
    Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
    Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
    Email address [email protected]
    No challenge password
    No optional company name
    Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
    cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
    openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
    Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
    openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
    Install the private key and certificate
    cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt
    cp server.crt server.crt.backup.03102010
    chown applmgr:applmgr server.crt.backup.03102010

  • Oracle 10g AS  pacth for Oracle Apps 11i

    Hi everyone,
    I have installed Oracle 10g AS (10.1.2.0.2) for Oracle Business Intelligence on Sun Solaris 10 (64 bit) and integrated it with Oracle Apps 11i (11.5.10.2).
    Everything seems fine but i am facing problems like
    1) Toolbars not appearing correctly sometimes like it is disabled and enables by itself.
    2)sometimes clients come accross "Connection with Server lost..." error while taking export (very few).
    3) Its giving the error (mentioned at the end) only on one client machine while taking export to Excel.
    I have tried installing Oracle 10g AS patch set 2 10.1.2.2 for Solaris but the problem persisits. Is patch set 2 compatible or certified with Oracle Apps 11i? if not then is there any other work around or do i have to wait for some new patch.
    Thanx for your inputs.

    Hi
    The last I heard is that 10.1.2.2 is not yet certified for use against E-Business Suite unless your operating system is Linux. Please take a look at this posting on Steven Chan's blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/2007/04/23
    The issues you are encountering, particularly the one with the toolbars disappearing, were fixed in patch 5345528 as described on my blog here: http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2006/08/more-to-toolbar-icons-graying-out.html
    I would advise you to go for this patch first until Oracle certify 10.1.2.2. for Sun.
    Best wishes

  • ORACLE APPS 11i Installation

    RW-50011 Error is coming while starting Apps 11i installation in linux(RHEL-ES)
    with 30G for WindowsXP and 130G for Linux. I gave partition as 104G for Oracle,12G for root, 1.5G for Swapspace. I checked all the required RPMs to be installed. But while running the start CD I am getting an error.while completion of RDBMS - Disk 1, I am getting error RW-50004 Error. Kindly resolve this issue whoever has mastered over it.
    I extend my gratitude in anticipation.
    Awaiting reply
    Vijay

    Other people has had this problem before, you may want to check for it Re: Error RW50004/RW50011.
    Most common solution for this issue has to do with the way ksh is being called from the path envrionment variable, and where the install script assumes where it is.
    1. Make soft link of the file from /usr/local/bin/ksh to /usr/bin/ksh and before you start your installation start a session in a ksh environment.
    or
    2. Alter the search path used by the install script. Not advisable, as you are not suppossed to tamper with Oracle code.
    or
    3. Copy ksh From /usr/local/bin/ksh to /usr/bin
    It is recommended to read the metalink this document Doc ID: 287453.1 "Oracle Applications 11.5.10 - Installation Update Notes for Linux x86 ...".

  • Tuning Oracle APPS 11i Start with

    Hi Hussain/Helios,
    I am new to Oracle APPS, and am working oracle apps 11i 11.5.10.2 with 10.2.5.0, the database and application was upgraded by previous dba. which left almost 3-4 months before.
    now my question is i want to have a performance tuning for Oracle apps environment, can you please suggest some key points for starting with and some good links for future usage.
    Other thing is i have used find command on my linux box and found many log files which are greater than 1000K on apps tier (forms/reports/web), and similiarly db tier (db/admin/concurrent).
    can i just remove all these logfiles using os (rm) command and is it feasible with production environment on running mode or is it not feasible and i should use some other ways/etc.

    1). Compile APPS Schema in maintenace which i will take.
    2). I have checked some Gather Stats/Purge jobs are already scheduled for maintenance.
    Please tell me what other Jobs i can schedule using OAM for weekend for All tiers in APPS.
    I have been also asked to apply latest patches on PROD APPS/DB/* system, I can check using sql, which patches are applied, but how can i know which patches are required, (don't know about the licensed products with never ask policy here).

    can you please suggest some key points for starting with and some good links for future usage.Please check below MOS doc:-
    A Holistic Approach to Performance Tuning Oracle Applications Systems [ID 69565.1]
    Configuring various JVM tuning parameters for Oracle E-Business suite 11i and R12 [ID 567551.1]
    Tuning is something that require more analysis less action, first you need to answer:-
    1) Why do you need tuning? is it proactive or some incident happend?
    2) Where are you facing issues? i.e. which module, form, report or whole application.
    3) Number of users facing issues? i.e. is it single user, user at one location or all users.
    4) Has something changed in past that might have triggered this need?
    Theri are various components involved in tuning that start from :-
    1) user machine
    2) network
    3) Application tier.
    4) Database tier.
    Application tier can be further divided into:-
    1) Apache server(JVM, modplsql, jserv etc etc
    2) Form Server
    3) Concurrent processing server
    4) Discovered if using,
    5) XML publisher..
    and like wise other component using.
    If you are looking to tune then i believe start from application tier first, pick one by one componets, like if your users are facing issues with login then use note that i have provided, if users are not satisifed with time taken to complete concurrent request then you might have to tune it and likewise.
    can i just remove all these logfiles using os (rm) command and is it feasible with production environment on running mode or is it not feasible and i should use some other ways/etc.Do not rm files because it might be in use by some process and ti might then not be able to release space, its better to trim the file. do cat file >
    Log file you have mentioned can be removed depedning upon your company policy if any.
    Thanks,
    JD

  • How to access Oracle Apps 11i forms using Vmware Player?

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Apps 11i on native OS OEL5 Server and guest OS Windows XPP using Vmware Player.Now how to access Oracle Apps 11i forms from Windows XPP using Vmware on my OEL5 Server Desktop?
    Thank's
    Regard's
    Rerry

    Hi,
    If you mean how to access eBusiness Suite from within the Virtual Machine, then you just navigate to the same URL you normally would. You may need to put the machine alias in your hosts file if you are referencing it via machine name rather than IP address.
    If you mean that you want to load the form in forms builder (for example) then you need to FTP the form from server to client (as you normally would) and then open it in your client (XP virtual machine).
    If you want to use Workflow Builder (as per your original requirement) then you need to ensure that the TNSNAMES.ora file in the Workflow Builder home has an entry for your instance on Linux, and then you should be able to connect to the database directly.

  • Which Processor Good for Oracle Apps 11i

    Hello Folks,
    I am planning to buy dell laptop to install oracle Apps 11i,
    The dell laptop come with the two processor.
    1.AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core Processor
    2.Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor
    So pls advice me to choose the best one.
    Thanks, Raghu.K

    The real bottleneck will be disk and memory. I liked the server Opteron processors but was never a fan of the mobile ones. I have always had fantastic performance running 11i and R12 on Centrino or Core 2 duo processors. Get a machine with the latest Santa Rosa chipset, and you can install 4 GB of RAM and have it visible to the OS (at least for Linux). I just recently configured a ThinkPad T61 with OpenSuse 10.3, 4 GB of Ram, 240 GB of disk that is running Apps 11.5.10.2 with 10.2.0.3 database and Apps R12 and Demantra Demand Planning 7.1.1 in an OAS 10.1.3 J2EE and Web Server concurrently. This is also running a KVM Windows virtual machine.

  • Sizing hardware for 11i on linux

    Does anybody have any experience/insight sizing hardware for a new 11i install on linux? We've estimated that we'll have about 300 named users, using finance, manufacturing and hr modules. How big/many servers do we start with?

    Based on the document provided by Oracle corp. for sizing stated that
    70 users per CPU and 8mb memory is required for each user to access Oracle Apps 11i.
    So, you can think of 8 processors of 900 MHZ and 16 Gb of memory.
    Swap space could be created and single time of physical memory because the physical memory is huge.
    Upgradeable option has to be take care in near future requirement.
    If you running Production and Demo and Test on the same server in sense that again configuration require to increased up.
    The hard ware sizing is only for Apps 11i.
    Based on the other requirement to access to the legacy systems and all let me know version of the Oracle enterprise database and no of users could access that and then I can give the requirement.
    You can reach me through email: [email protected] so that I could be able to fill your expectation.

  • Developer tools for Apps 11i

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Oracle Apps 11i on Oracle Linux. I am using this installation to learn about Oracle applications and in particular HRMS.
    Now I would like to install the Oracle developer tools (Forms, Reports, SQLPLUS, etc) on a windows PC so that I can access the 11i installed database (I believe version 9i Oracle enterprise 9.2.0.6.0).
    I have the following questions
    1. Is there a single install that would install all the tools on the PC?
    2. Since the database is 9.2.0.6.0, should i install the 9i version of the tools or should i go straight to 10g
    3. Which tools should i be installing and is there a link for downloading them?
    4. Do i need to install oracle client 9i?
    5. Do i need to install anything on the server side (oracle linux) for the tools to work? and are there any links to installation instructions?
    I have spent about 3 hours looking up information about what to install and with the different versions, etc it is a bit confusing.
    I am not a dba, so my knowledge is not extensive.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Steve

    1. Is there a single install that would install all the tools on the PC?Oracle Developer 6i
    2. Since the database is 9.2.0.6.0, should i install the 9i version of the tools or should i go straight to 10gYou are looking for a development tool, so you need to download/install Oracle Developer 6i (which has nothing to do with the database version).
    3. Which tools should i be installing and is there a link for downloading them?Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/htdocs/winsoft.html
    4. Do i need to install oracle client 9i?No.
    5. Do i need to install anything on the server side (oracle linux) for the tools to work? and are there any links to installation instructions?You need to register your host through OAM or disable the SQLNet restriction so that you can connect to the database.

  • Migrating Apps 11i to new server

    Hi Guys,
    I have recently been appointed as the DBA at a site that ran Apps 11i for more than a year, without as much as a patch update. Suddenly they needed clones, and all sorts of things to happen. Instead of taking a 3 month patch by patch process, does someone have a methodology, if I build a new server from scratch, install SuSE Linux 9, then a blank 9i DB, and the new patched application layer on top of that, can I "clone" the current system to a new server, data only - is there a white paper / methodology around I can use?
    Tx
    Willis

    I beleive in your case you can easily make the clone by applying the rapid clone patch on your 11.5.9 instance. Check the metalink note Note:230672.1. Since you are on 11.5.9 and autoconfig enabled there won't be much complication.
    we had a similar kind of situation with one our client. Their hard disks crashed and don't have backup of application tier. What they have is database backup.
    What we did is :
    -Made a fresh installation of apps withe same instance name and paths
    -backedup the new database to different path
    -Restored the old database of crashed instance from backup and got the llist of all patches applied previously
    - Remove the restored database.
    -again restored the fresh database backedup
    -Applied all the patches
    - Restored the old database of crashed instance from backup
    - Did all customization and workarounds
