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