Step-by-Step Installation of an EBS 12.2 Vision Instance
R12.2 is the latest release in Oracle applications. Here we will be giving the snapshots and steps for the R12.2.0 installation. I will be giving here steps for multi-node installation of an EBS 12.2 Vision Instance
The installation is similar to the previous release except for some weblogic steps. First, we would be discussing the prerequisite necessary
Prerequisite for R12.2 Installation
| Platform-Specific Software Requirements | |
| Operating System | Required Maintenance Tools |
| Oracle Solaris SPARC (64-bit) | ar, ld, make, X Display Server |
| Linux x86-64 | ar, gcc, g++, ld, ksh, make, X Display Server |
| IBM AIX on Power Systems (64-bit) | ar, cc, ld, linkxlC, make, X Display Server |
| HP-UX Itanium | ar, cc, aCC, make, X Display Server |
| Microsoft Windows (64-bit) | Microsoft C++, MKS Toolkit*, GNU make |
Operating System Patch Levels
In a multi-node installation:
- All database tier nodes must be at the same operating system patch level.
- All application tier nodes must be at the same operating system patch level
Minimum Memory for an Oracle E-Business Suite Installation
The minimum amount of memory needed to run Oracle E-Business Suite is about 6 GB for the database tier machine and 10 GB for an application tier machine. This kind of configuration would typically support 10 or fewer users in addition to online patching activity.
Disk Space Requirements
Rapid Install installs the file system and database files for all products, regardless of their licensed status. The approximate file system disk space requirements for a standard installation are:
| File System Space Requirements for Standard Installation | |
| Node | Space Required |
| Database node file system (Fresh install) | 90 GB (includes database files and 11gR2 database Oracle Home). |
| Database node file system (Vision Demo database) | 200 GB (includes database files and 11gR2 database Oracle Home). |
| Applications node file system (OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle Home, Oracle FMW Oracle Home, COMMON_TOP, APPL_TOP, and INST_TOP) | 64 GB (for dual file system). Also, see the Note below for language (NLS) considerations. |
Operating System-Supported Versions
The following table lists the supported operating system versions.
| Operating System Name | Supported Version |
| Oracle Linux | 5 – Update 5 or higher (64-bit) |

| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 | 3.0.13-0.27-default |
1: The Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) is certified as well as the Red Hat default kernel (2.6.18). The use of the UEK R1 (2.6.32) is certified on Oracle/Red Hat Linux 5 Update 5 (5.5) or later and UEK R2 (2.6.39) on Oracle 5 Update 8 (5.8) or later.
2: The Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK R1) and the Red Hat default kernel (2.6.32-131) are certified. The use of the UEK R2 (2.6.39) is certified on Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (6.2) or later. The use of the UEK R3 (3.8.13) is certified on Oracle Linux 6 Update 4 (6.4) or later.
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
Pre installation steps
- Create user oracle and group oinstall on the Database side
- Create user applebs and group db on the Application side
- Create the oraInventory directory on both database and Application node

Installation steps
We would be doing a two-node installation where the database would be on Solaris server tserv.com
And application would be on another node tserv2.com
Installation on database Node
1) ./rapidwiz
We took filesystem 1 port as 0 and filesystem port 1
Click finish
Installation on Application Node
On the application Node tserv2.com
./rapidwiz
Provide the configuration we save in the database tier and then click next
After the installation, you should be able to login to the Vision instance
