Oracle EBS learning

Hi,
I am newbie to Oracle EBS. I read the concepts document (actually onlly the first chapter). I have installed a vision demo instance in my server and did an upgrade to 12.1.3.
We have HRMS in my company, and we are going to implement financials also.
Now If I want to become an apps DBA, Please guide me with the documents that I should be looking into. Also I am a person who learn by doing things, thats why I installed the vision demo and upgraded it. But I dont know where to go from there.
Thank you,

Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 Installation Steps

Although this is by no means exhaustive or the most accurate, all contributions and/or corrections are welcome
As I attempt to reply the numerous calls and emails I have been getting, firstly sorry guys, I have been settling down at a new job, and haven’t had time to locate my implementation notes, however find below the steps I followed with a successful result.
Installing Oracle E-Business (EBS) Release 11i (version 11.5.10.2)
Linux Installation – SLES 9 Rel 1
•     Please follow these instructions – I could not have written a better set of instructions :
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16009.html
NOTE: Although this is written for SLES 9.1, I believe this will work for any Linux variant.
Also, make sure you have installed openmotif 2.0 or higher to make sure the forms server starts and remains running
Windows 2003 Server SP 1
Environment:
Windows 2003 Server was installed as an environment on VMWare Server (The free one).
Hardware Spec:
P4 800 Mhz CPU
2GB (Physical RAM) and 1GB (Virtual RAM)
250 GB (Physical HDD), 120GB (Virtual HDD)
DVD RW
DECLARE
At this point I have to say a few things:
1.     I have not attempted installing on any other version of Windows, so if you try with another version, I may not be able to answer your questions, although I believe it should not be any different.
2.     I would believe you can or have access to the internet and can download or find most of the resources needed.
3.     I would assume you have installed the Windows 2003 Server with SP 1, Internet Explorer and Outlook. Also, have included an IP address, a server name with its domain extensions in the host file.
4.     I would assume that you have created one group – dba , two users applmgr and oracle and included them in the dba and administrator groups
5.     I would assume that you are at least familiar with the terms and usage of abbreviations in this sort of environments.
6.     I would also assume you have reviewed and have made allowance to meet the required specification in terms of hardware (I did not attempt an installation on the USB HDD, so may not be able to help, if this applies to your situation)
BEGIN
     Prepare Environment
Download and have read the following software:
1.     Java Development Kit 1.3 (or higher version)
http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html
2.     Active Perl – This is needed for the staging script adautostg.pl http://www.activestate.com/store/productdetail.aspx?prdGuid=81fbce82-6bd5-49bc-a915-08d58c2648ca
3.      Visual C++ - This is needed for many of the real-time code compilation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/
4.      CYGWIN
http://www.cywin.com/setup.exe     (Free open source, never expires!)
OR
MKS Toolkit (Evaluation copy, 30 Trial or get a licence for about $500)
http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
This is necessary for certain unix-only available utilities required to implement/compile Oracle E-business Suite, such as which, make, cc, etc.
5.     The DVDs or downloaded zipped copy of the entire Oracle E-Business Suite software for Windows 32-Bit ( I did not attempt on a 64-Bit processor, though I believe it should not be different, but see the necessary documentation if that is your situation)
http://edelivery.oracle.com
6.     Jinitiator – This is required to run the forms on your system (Although a first attempt to view any of the form interfaces downloads and requests this be installed first) http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?url=http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/developer/htdocs/jinit.htm
NOTE:
•     DO NOT Install into the default directories and do not allow spaces in file directories/path when installing the software, somehow experience has shown that the Oracle EBS does not handle spaces in file directories well, and results in untold hardship if ignored. E.g Default installation folder for an software installation may suggest C:\Program Files\ JDK 1.5, MAKE SURE you alter this to something like C:\JDK15. DO THIS FOR ALL SOFTWARE INSTALLED
•     After each software installation, please reboot the system before installing the next piece.
•     Make sure that all the paths to the bin folders for all software installed is included in the environment variables, and verify by typing path in the command prompt to display all paths listed
•     If using CYGWIN (like I did, as I could not afford a software expiring on me nor could afford $500 for a test). You may choose all the modules available, but you do not need all (it will be an overkill to have the entire unix utilities and libraries on your windows box, unless you plan on learning unix commands or into heavy development requiring a unix environment, without wanting a unix machine) MAKE SURE you choose all the library options, all the development options and that should be OK. Then confirm after the installation by typing which, cc (or gcc), make(gnumake), ls, gawk(awk), grep (egrep) (IMPORTANT:Where one of the other in brackets exists, copy and rename the copy as the alternative). As a double sure – copy all of these into C:\Bin directory.
•     If the Oracle EBS is downloaded, unzip all the files into the folder and ignore any suggestions that it will over-write other files such as the component.label files
Installation Proper
•     Run adautostg.pl – which you will find in the StartCD i.e the first file downloaded and unzipped. This will attempt to rearrange the installation files in the order in which the installation wizard – rapidwiz prefers and identifies the folders. (Saves you hand-holding the wizard by having to interact during the installation, pointing it to the relevant folders/files if not run) to create the staging area.
•     Run Rapidwiz – either by double clicking the rapidwiz.cmd in the startcd folder (this would be the one in the staging area) or from the command prompt
•     As required, point rapidwiz, to the bin folder of cygwin e.g C:\cygwin\bin (if this is as installed) in the place where it requires the MKS Toolkit
•     Pre-installation Checks – rapidwiz intelligently tests all the necessary software and requirements before installation starts. A corresponding message to each parameter suggests the opinion of the rapidwiz whilst a green tick indicates the parameter is sufficient, other indicators may need reviewing. Please make sure you resolve each issue before progressing with the installation. This may lead to a waste of time if not resolved.
•     Choose a single-node installation
(if just testing or practicing, you may also choose a multi-node if this is what you want.)
•     If all the modules are not needed (I installed all), you may have to choose which modules you require, and state where you want the modules installed.
•     Assuming all parameters are passed and installation begins, the different stages of the installation steps can be followed by the on-screen messages or log file reviews (each logfile directory will be displayed on the screen during the installation of each context).
•     Post Installation Checks – Rapidwiz does some checks after an installation, whether successful or not, and provides a report. When an installation is successful. It confirms and provides the url to login. The default username and password for the system administrator is usually sysadmin / sysadmin. You are encouraged to create another user immediately.
For all who asked, depending on how far up your hardware scales in terms of specifications, the installation may take about 3 hours (at least mine did) or more.
Login on to Oracle EBS !
The URL required for logging on to the OAM (Oracle Application Management - For the Apps DBAs) and OEBS (Oracle E-Business Suite - essentially for the Functional Implemeters/Consultants ) - The entire gamut (They are shown as hyperlinks), should be as follows;
http://hostname(servername.domainname.com):8000/
where hostname is the same as specified in your host file e.g servername.domainname.com or .whatever-u-like
and
8000 - is the default port, but you may have chosen your own port and that should be used in such a case.
N.B - The Forms server is often started when an attempt is made to access such an interface after login in to the OEBS. However, in my own case, it did not until I made sure openmotif 2.1 was installed on my SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.1. The windows installation started without any issues.
If all attempts fails….
You may have to try and try again by deleting all installation files and starting all the installation steps again. It will help if you know how to edit your registry settings to delete all reference to oracle e-business (not all reference to oracle though, as some odbc-related entries have been installed by Microsoft and require your registry settings to function)
Alternatively, send me your box, your mailing address and a token (money of course, and I may be able to set it all up for you) – JOKING!
CAVEAT: I will not be held responsible if anything unsavoury happens to your system in the course of you following the steps I have highlighted above either correctly or incorrectly. However, if you are successful, please sing my praises all over the forum and ask that I be rewarded by Oracle!

Hi user3726038,
I have seen posting about the installation of EBS R12/i11 saying it does not work with Windows Vista (64 bit). I went ahead and tried it anyway to see what kind of errors I get and to confirm if the errors I get are consistent with other people using Windows Vista. FYI, my installation went as far as 99% complete of step 2 of 5 before it errored out. I checked and noticed that many components of EBS have been installed with status equal zero which is good.
When I got the "TNS-12541: TNS: no listener", I went to Windows services, located the Oracle TNS service that was created by the EBS installation and tried to start it. Then I got this error: "error 1053 the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". I googled the error message and the resolution is: "To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.". I have tried this but it does not work because my Windows Vista uses a higher version of .Net Framework 1.1. I have done more research but to no avail. However, it is fun as I learn many things about the EBS intallation and Windows Vista.
By the way, these are the steps when I run the rapidwiz on Windows Vista. Click on Start => Click on command prompt => right click on command Prompt => select run as administrator => CD to the path where the rapidwiz reside. Somehow if I use the regular command prompt the installation will die on step 1 of 5 even when I log in as administrator.
In your case you are using Windows 2k3. Make sure your OS is not 64 bit. Whenever you get an error and it does not say much, google it to see the resolution and make sure you read the Installation Guide. Hope this helps.

HTTP check RW-5001 - Oracle EBS 12.1.1 Rapidwiz on RHEL 5 VMWARE Fusion

Dear All,
I have been attempting to install Oracle EBS 12.1.1 Using Rapidwiz on RHEL 5 VMWARE Fusion for the past month, i have run through the install on a few occaisions now just to ensure that i have followed all the pre-reqs correctly and also set up the guest OS as described in several posts including (http://www.oraclenerd.com/2009/12/ebs-install-guide-part-1.html, http://gerardnico.com/wiki/ebs/installation and always refering back to My Oracle Support Doc ID 761566.1: Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64.
I have installed (prior to running rapidwiz) the oracle recommended patch p6078836_101330_LINUX.zip and confirmed from the install that the Database listener and Database are up and running (checked by running the db.env script and running addbctl.sh and addlnctl.sh respectively). However, the rapid install completes with an error for HTTP, java, Login Page, Help files, in the post intall checks.
The error displayed for the HTTP check 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've found posts relating to this message, and proceeded to check the status and try and start the apps services manually; however, i'm experiencing another error message;
You are running adopmnctl.sh version 120.6

I'm not a DBA and i'm just starting out to learn how ebusiness suite is installed and how the applications run in parralel to the database. (my history of oracle ebs front end development and functional support)
I know there are a few posts out there within these forums that go into some details on what this issue may be, however, i cannot find any that specifically address my type of install and OS setup, and sometimes find it hard to understand the terminology and techniques used to diagnose these kinds of issues.
What i'm looking for is for some help in diagnosing and trouble shooting my issue, i will be happy to provide any output that is required to help address the issue and will be online regularly until i can have this issue resolved.
So, if you can help, please let me know where we can start.
Many thanks
Simon

Hi All,
Problem solved, although not on RHEL 5. I started over with a clean install of OEL 5.4, completed all the pre-reqs and applied reccommended patching, install completed fine, not experienced same issues with http. Differing install steps;
A) Selected different Port pool - 67 instead of 55
B) in OEL 5 when installing, if gives you the option to turn off SELINUX, which i compelted.
C) Checking the OS, i noticed the rpm versions were quite different (probably somewhat obvious, but im not sure if this had an impact)
Although, this was a fristrating set up, i have (i think) learnt a bit more about linux and installing ebs.
Thanks all for your guidance and help
Simon

Oracle EBS R12 Advice

Hey Community,
I have 2 years of experience as an Apps DBA. I recently took a new job working under a consultant as jr. apps dba. Well the consultant was fired and well now I'm the only dba. So far things are great and I'm really enjoying this challenge. I have been studying my behind off daily to catch up on a lot of stuff that is new to me. I had a few questions I would like to ask and get advice from experts here.
One of my questions are what are some daily tasks I need to do as an apps dba? This is a fairly new shop and right now, there isn't any procedures on doing much. I am creating procedures now. Right now I just check to make sure the applications are up, if they are down, I go from there. We have a core dba so I don't have to do much on the database side. I need info for the application side.
Also, I don't know RAC but will have to learn it. I do have my own home environment. I know how to install Oracle EBS finally. At the moment, I am upgrading my database to 11.2.0.3 and after that I will upgrade my applications to 12.1.3 and then the latest version. After I complete these tasks, I am going to take time to learn as much as I can about RAC, then I will do my own implementation of RAC. I will then need to install Oracle EBS on RAC (Not sure how to do that yet) I also need to learn to clone on RAC, Patch on RAC and how to maintain EBS on RAC. If you all could give me any documentation, videos, or anything else I can study it would be greatly appreciated.
Also do you all have any advice for me that will help me rise to the challenge. I know its a huge one but its one I believe I can do as long as I put in much hard work and dedication. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Oracle EBS Workflow Options

Hi,
Anybody has ideas about Oracle EBS workflow strategy in the near future?
I would like to customize the workflow for GL (parallel approval) in Oracle EBS (11i/R12) and need suggestions on each option.
Options:
1. Custom Standard Oracle Workflow
This is a short term high effort customization solution.
2. Utilize Oracle Approval Management (AME)
It is available for limited modules and functions. GL module is not part of the supported modules in the near future.
3. BPEL for Oracle Apps
Not sure whether it is integrated with Oracle Apps. Need more information.
I saw a doc about migrating WF processes to Oracle BPEL but it does not have any detail info. (Doc ID: Note:394387.1)
Regards,
Jeremy

Jeremy,
The suitable choice would be either oracle workflow or the BPEL but it still depends on a lot many other factors.
The standard oracle workflow is still going to be around for many more years and is the default choice as of now.
BPEL is more versatile, more detailed but there is no apps standard for it. So even if you develop now in BPEL, there are chances that it might not be compatible/feasible with the Fusion Apps standards which we don't know yet. And there are other factors like learning a new tech and the ones Gareth has mentioned.
Read through http://shiv-saroj.blogspot.com/2008/03/oaf-vs-adf-with-respect-to-oracle.html
Its not exactly what you are looking for, but will help you in decision.

Oracle EBS Financial Novice.

All,
I am new to Oracle EBS and would be interested' to know more like where to begin to make a career in financial. Are there any books or softwares that I could start with? any other recommendations...? Appreciate any directions...in this. Symon.

I believe the best way to learn is to have your own Vision Demo instance and start reading Oracle documentation. In addition, Oracle blogs and Metalink are also good source of information.
Applications Releases 11i and 12
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html
Applications Blogs - Oracle Corporation

If you can afford attending training courses at Oracle University, go for it as I believe it is worth it. Oracle University provides learning paths which are tailored to job roles so you can see at a glance the courses that are recommended for a specific role. Each path suggests a sequence of courses that provide the knowledge and skills needed for on-the-job expertise.

Getting 404 error when trying to login to Oracle EBS page

Hi,
I had installed Oracle EBS 12.0.4 last year and everything was running fine until last week. Last week, we suddenly started seeing this issue - when trying to login to the Oracle EBS page, we are getting the 404 page not found error.
I have EBS installed on 2 VMs (virtual machines) - one VM has the application server and other VM has the database server. I logged on to the aplpication server to do some debugging and noticed 2 things ->
1.The Oracle Fullfillment service was not running. I started it, it was up for some time but then it stopped on its own. This happens everytime - after successfully starting the service, it shuts down after sometime. There is nothing in the event viewer except this message "The service may have terminated abnormally, please see the log file generated by the service for more details." I checked the log file, but there is nothing significant inside the log file. Maybe I need to increase the log level. Can any one tell me how can I do that?
2. Reviver.exe was crashing intermitently on the application server. I belive reviver tries to establish the connection between the application and database server after its broken.
So I am thinking now that maybe the connection between the app server and the database server is getting broken intermittenlty and this is the root cause of all the problems.
I dont know how to verify whethe my analysis is correct or not? And it it is, how to resolved it? Is there a setting or a configuration file in which you have to specify the database server details (ip address / host name etc). Can you tell me where can I find this setting?
Or culd there be something altogether different that is causing the page not found error?
Thanks in advance,
Megha

Hussein,
The problem is partially solved - I am not getting the 404 error now. The issue was not with the netsvc file. Please see the resolution in NOTE:412980.1 (oafm,forms and oacore not starting up after IP adress change).
The OC4J services are imperative for any URL for java code. With just the Apache listener running, examples of URLS that will work are ->
http://HOST.DOMAIN:PORT/OA_MEDIA/FNDLOGOL.gif
http://HOST.DOMAIN:PORT/
Any URL for Java code will fail at this stage when OC4J services are down. For example this URL will fail: http://myHost.oracle.com:8000/OA_HTML/ServletPing.
But now, I am getting 500 Internal server error. Let me know if you kno anything about this error ->

Unable to open XML report in Oracle EBS r12

Hi,
I have new installation of Oracle EBS r12 (12.1.1) on linux.
To test the XML report, I changed the output of standard report 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML' and defined the data definition and template for this report.
I am unable to see the output for XML reports. The report completes without error, however I cannot open the output file.
The browser opens for fraction of a second and then closes down. My client machine is Windows 7 and I used Microsoft words 2010 to build template
I used the 5.7.201 version of BI publisher to create the rtf template.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks

I changed the output of standard report 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML' and defined the data definition and template for this report.
looks like xml publisher report, so output for concurrent must be 'XML'
******* I have changed the output of concurrent program 'Active Users' from 'Text' to 'XML'
I am unable to see the output for XML reports.
how you see it?
******* I tried to open the report by clicking on 'Output' button from view request screen of EBS.
did you try after concurrent completed check 'diagnostic -> view xml'?
******* I haven't tried this. Will do now.
The report completes without error, however I cannot open the output file
what is error?
******* There is no error, the request completed successfully. When I tried to open the output file by clicking 'output' button, the browser doesn't open.
did you check OPP log?
******* There is nothing in the OPP log.
if concurrent failed so first of all check your code - data template and package (if used)
******* I used the standard EBS report 'Active Users' and just changed the output from 'Text' to 'XML' and attached the rtf template.

Global temp table in Oracle EBS

hi gurus,
i have a GTT with "ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS".
i am populating this table through an OAF page and displaying the data.
as per the documentation it should delete the data from the table once user logs out from the Oracle EBS but it's not happening.
the user still sees the records from the previous session.
please throw some light here.
thanks,

i was wondering if there is any sysadmin level setup/profile setup which can end the session (JDBC) once user logs out?No such profile option exists.

1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
Thanks,
Rp.
Hi,
As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)
