Oracle Linux 5* Update 1 or higher of Oracle Linux 5 is required (5.1 or higher).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5* (base and Advanced Platform) Update 1 or higher Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 is required (5.1 or higher).

The following i386 packages are not part of the OS distribution media and must be downloaded
separately (from http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux for both Oracle
Linux 5 and RHEL 5) and installed manually:

openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i3861
xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386
For Update 1 or 2:
binutils-2.17.50.0.6-6.0.1.i3862
For Update 3:
binutils-2.17.50.0.6-9.0.1.i3862
For Update 4 (5.4) or higher, see workaround listed below in the 'After Installing or
Upgrading' section.
The following i386 packages must be installed from the Oracle Linux 5 or RHEL 5 distribution media:
compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26
gcc-4.1.2-14.el5
gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5
glibc-2.5-12
glibc-common-2.5-12
glibc-devel-2.5-12
glibc-headers-2.5-12
kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.el5

check the rpm in your os
[root@panora03 ~]#  rpm -qa  |grep <rpm name>
For exp:-
[root@panora03 ~]#  rpm -qa  |grep kernel-headers*
if it is not there install through  following command
[root@panora03 ~]# yum install <rpm name>
For exp:-
[root@panora03 ~]# yum install kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.el5

1) – set the IP address

[root@panora03 ~]# netconfig
[root@panora03 ~]# service network restart





2)- set the network
[root@panora03 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=panora03

save &exit

3)-   set the hostname permanantly
[root@panora03 ~]# vi /etc/hosts


192.168.1.3           panora03.lab.com   panora03

save $exit

4)-   create group and user for oracle apps.
We will create two user for oracle application
1-oracle
2- applmgr

[root@panora03 ~]# groupadd dba

[root@panora03 ~]# useradd -g dba -d /u01/home/ -m oracle
[root@panora03 ~]# useraddd -g dba -d /u02/home/ -m applmgr

5)- give permission to them

[root@panora03 ~]# chown -R oracle:dba /u01/

[root@panora03 ~]# chown -R applmgr:dba /u02/

[root@panora03 ~]# chmod -R  775 /u01/
[root@panora03 ~]# chmod -R  775 /u02/

[root@panora03 ~]# passwd oracle
[root@panora03 ~]# passwd applmgr



6)-  set kernel parameter

[root@panora03 ~]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.shmall = 268435456

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648



kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

save & exit

check these parameters are runing or not
[root@panora03 ~]# sysctl -p

7)- set the security limits
[root@panora03 ~]# vi /etc/security/limits.conf

hard      nofile         65535
soft       nofile         4096
hard      nproc         16384
soft       nproc         2047

save &exit


8)- restart the system






The Oracle Applications R12 single-node installation is done with the oracle account (or root account for making applmgr user owner of the appsTier ).

9)- now we have to run rapid installer
[root@panora03~]# xhost +
[root@panora03~]# cd  /u01/home/StageR12.4/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz

[root@panora03 ~]#  ./rapidwiz


Here are the windows which appears and the responses we have to choose:


Installation Process :

This option is very helful, if you have got any error during installation and you want to  restart the installation again. In that case you can use the previous selected configration.

Screen 5: Global System settings.


Screen 6: Database Node setup : Provide the DB node details e.g. DB SID, HostName, Domain Name, OS, OS User and Group, and Installation Base Directory.
Please note that the installation is done by root user and you need a seperate user for DB account e.g. oracle with dba group.

Congratulations.. your Oracle Applications R12 Installation is successfully done. Now you can just type the URL(http://panora03.lab.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin) in the browser and see beautiful screen of Oracle Apps R12. You can do the initial login with User : SYSADMIN and passowrd : sysadmin. Then create new users with System Administrator Responsibility and PLAY/WORK :).
U can find Url by two ways-
1-connect to sql with apps user and use following command-
sql>select home_url from icx_parameters;
2- through os level use following command-
cat $CONTEXT_FILE |grep login
