1:Oracle Linux/Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versions 4 and 5 and SLES versions 9, 10 and 11 were previously certified with
12.1 but are no longer actively supported by the vendors. See Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy page, Red Hat's RHEL Life Cycle
page and SUSE's Product Support lifecycle page for more information. Customers should upgrade to later OS versions for use
with EBS 12.1.
2:Technology components bundled with E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 (such as the Oracle Database 11gR1 and Application
Server 10gR3) must be upgraded either prior to cloning or after a new installation of 12.1.1 (see sections below) on these
operating systems.
3: Oracle Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and SLES 15 are only certified through the use of cloning (from Linux
environments) or a platform migration (from non Linux environments) - new or fresh installations using Rapid Install (12.1.1) are
not supported. The use of Rapid Install as part of an application tier platform migration to these operating systems (i.e. rapidwiz
'-techstack') is supported, and may require upgrades of embedded components (see the 'After Installing or Upgrading' section
below).
Note: In-place major OS upgrades (such as from Oracle Linux version 6 to 7) are not currently certified with Oracle E-
Business Suite. Customers running E-Business Suite who are planning to upgrade to a later OS version are advised to install
the OS on a separate target environment that meets all requirements listed in this document before cloning their E-
Business Suite instance to it.
Minor OS version in-place upgrades such as from Oracle Linux 7 Update 1 to Oracle Linux 7 Update 2 (or higher) are
certified.
An in-place major OS upgrade for the Oracle Exadata database tier is supported and certified as part of the Exadata
software update process as documented here.

Required Packages
The following table lists the required packages and the minimum required versions for Linux x86-64 (64-bit). The versions listed
below are associated with the minimum version of the operating system shown - later updates of the operating system may have
newer versions of packages that are also certified for use with E-Business Suite unless noted otherwise.
Additional Information: Refer to your vendor's operating system installation manual or the operating system media for
information on obtaining and applying packages.
Note: Customers on Exadata (Database Machine, Cloud Machine, Cloud Service) should not install the packages listed
below as the system already contains all required packages and settings needed to run the Oracle Database.
The existence of rpms can be checked on Linux with the following command (using libgcc as an example):

$ rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n" | grep libgcc

versions of this package (such as binutils-2.37) have also been tested and certified for use with EBS
in conjunction with required EBS patches - see the appropriate 'Before Installing or Upgrading' or
'After Installing or Upgrading' sections below on SLES 12 requirements.
2: This package should be downloaded from: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/partners/oracle/EBSR12/rpms
3: This package is available from the Legacy channel of the SLES distribution
4: This package is available from the SLES Workstation Extension distribution:
https://www.suse.com/products/workstation-extension/
5: This unzip package (available from a SLES 10 distribution) is only required for purposes of
running Rapid Install to unzip the required EBS files as part of the installation and should be
reverted after the install of EBS. Alternatively, users can backup the existing unzip 6.0 in /usr/bin,
copy the unzip 5.5 from the EBS staging directory to /usr/bin for purposes of installing EBS, and
then restore the unzip 6.0 when done.
Footnotes:
*After installing these patches, run "ldconfig -v" to create necessary links and cache to the most recent shared libraries. After
running "ldconfig -v", re-create (as root) all symbolic links pointing to system libraries that may have been done manually. For
example, on Red Hat or Oracle Linux 7, /usr/lib/ libdb-4.3.so should be a symbolic link that points to /usr/lib/libdb-4.7.so.
**The openmotif version must be 2.1.30, and the package name must be in the following format: openmotif21-2.1.30.xxx. For
example, openmotif-2.2.3.10.RHEL4.5 is not supported.

SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux)
SELinux is a security enhancement to Linux allowing system administrators finer control over access to system resources by
users and applications.
Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Oracle Linux version 6, SELinux is enabled by default during OS installation with a
mode of 'enforcing'. The status of SELinux in a system can be checked by running the 'sestatus' command - other modes are
'disabled' where SELinux is disabled completely, and 'permissive' where warnings are logged to a file but is not strictly enfored.
The file /etc/selinux/config is the main SELinux configuration file that sets the mode and policy of SELinux in a system, while
warnings are logged to /var/log/messages. Please check and review vendor-specific documentation for further details on SELinux
administration and maintenance.
Release 12.1 has been tested with SELinux on RHEL/Oracle Linux 6 with the use of the 'enforcing' mode enabled and the default
'targeted' policy. Users who find unforeseen issues with the 'enforcing' mode and specific policies should file an Oracle Support
Service Request with details including the SELinux message and their use case. The use of the 'permissive' mode is certified and
can be used as an alternative.
Java Requirements
Oracle E-Business Suite delivers the following Java SE Development Kit (JDK) versions for use by the Oracle E-Business Suite:
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) Version 6.0 on the application tier

Java SE Development Kit (JDK) Version 1.4.2 on the OracleAS 10g 10.1.2 application tier hosting Forms and Reports
services
Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6.0 on the database tier (for AutoConfig)
You can now upgrade to the newer Java 7.0 update on all Oracle E-Business Suite application and database tier nodes and doing
so is highly recommended. If you plan to upgrade your application tier nodes to Java 7.0, the same upgrade in the OracleAS
10.1.2 ORACLE HOME must be performed at the same time. The Java 7.0 upgrade on the database tier is independent and can
be done separately.
Note: Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and 8 users should upgrade their JDK versions to officially certified
versions (1.7.0_67 or later and 1.7.0_231 or later respectively) as noted here.
Customers are advised to review and follow
the instructions posted in the documents below to upgrade to the latest available JDK versions either prior to a clone or
after a fresh install.

Please refer to the following My Oracle Support Knowledge documents for more information:
My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 418664.1, Overview of Using Java with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1467892.1, Using JDK 7.0 Latest Update with Oracle E-Business Suite Release
12.0 and 12.1
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The following maintenance tools must be installed on all machines, and their locations specified both in the PATH of the account
that runs Rapid Install and in the PATH of the accounts that will own the database tier and application tier file systems.
ar
gcc
g++
ksh
ld
linux32
make
X Display Server
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
The following are other requirements for Linux x86-64 (64-bit).
Patching Oracle E-Business Suite
Note: When querying for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 patches on My Oracle Support and selecting Linux x86-64 in
the Platform dropdown list, it will re-direct you to a Linux x86 patch. This patch may be applied to both 32-bit and 64-bit
Linux operating systems.

Kernel Settings
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings to the minimum values shown below. After editing the file, use the
"sysctl -p" command or restart the system to invoke the new settings.
Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in the following table, then do not change the
value of that parameter.
The following table lists the kernel settings that should be set for the OS:
Parameter Value
kernel.semmsl 2561
kernel.semmns 320001
kernel.semopm 1001
kernel.semmni 1421
kernel.shmall 20971524
kernel.shmmax Half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least 21474836482
kernel.shmmni 4096
kernel.msgmax 8192
kernel.msgmnb 65535
kernel.msgmni 2878
fs.file-max 131072
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range 10000 650003
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle 05
net.core.rmem_default 262144
net.core.rmem_max 4194304
net.core.wmem_default 262144
net.core.wmem_max 262144
1: set using the following entry in the /etc/sysctl.conf file: kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
2: On the server running the EBS Database, this kernel parameter must be the lesser of half
the size of the physical memory (in
bytes) and 4294967295
3: values recommended
for the local port range may need to be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user's
environment in order to avoid port conflicts.
4: The listed value is the minimum requirement
- we recommend an actual setting that is at least equal to the sum of all the
SGAs on the system, divided by the page size.
5: The value of this parameter is recommended
to be 0 (disabled, which is the default value) for most modern systems. This
parameter can also be omitted from the sysctl.conf file for this default value to be in effect. This resolves an issue previously
documented with Forms potentially hanging on Windows when switching between desktop applications.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), ensure that you set the following kernel parameter to the gid of the group used as the
dba group. For example, on a system using a group named dba with the dba:!:104:oracle entry in the /etc/group file, the
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
hugetlb_shm_group kernel parameter should be set to the following value:
vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 104
Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameters
Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set by default to low values when the
operating system
is installed. These low values may cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this
happens, add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file on each server node:
options attempts:5
options timeout:15
Verifying Host Names
Use the following to verify host name settings:
For Oracle Linux 6, 7 and 8, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7 and 8:
1. Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]
2. For Oracle Linux/RHEL 6, verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]
3. For Oracle Linux/RHEL 7 and 8, verify that the entry in /etc/hostname is as follows:

[node_name].[domain_name]
and use the hostnamectl command to change it if necessary.

4. If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.

5. If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.
For SUSE Linux SLES 12 and 15:
1. Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]
2. If you changed any files in the previous step, restart the system.
Modifying the Number of Open File Descriptors
Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for "hard" and "soft" parameters as follows. Restart the
system after making changes.
Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in this document, then do not change the value
of that parameter.
* hard nofile 65535
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nproc 2047
OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server (on Oracle Linux 6, 7 and 8, RHEL 6, 7 and 8, SLES 12 and 15 only)
Download and apply the Patch 6078836 from My Oracle Support to fix an issue with the Oracle HTTP Server (missing libdb.so.2)
bundled with the E-Business Suite technology stack.

Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be applied before installing Oracle E-Business
Suite.

Link to Berkeley DB library for HTTP server (on Oracle Linux 7 and 8, RHEL 7 and 8 only)
For Oracle Linux 7 and RHEL 7, perform the following command (as root on your system) to create a required link to the
Berkeley DB library:
# cd /usr/lib

# ln -s libdb-4.7.so libdb-4.3.so
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
For Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL 8, perform the following command (as root on your system) to create a required link to the
Berkeley DB library:
# cd /usr/lib

Since the ldconfig command overrides this link, the above link command (ln) will have to be re-issued after running the ldconfig
command.
Link to Berkeley DB library for HTTP server (SLES 12 and 15 only)
Perform the following command (as root on your system) to create a required link to the Berkeley DB library::
# cd /usr/lib

Since the ldconfig command overrides this link, the above link command (ln) will have to be re-issued after running the ldconfig
command.
Create required link to Motif library (Oracle Linux 7 and 8, RHEL 7 and 8, SLES 12 and 15 only)
Perform the following command (as root on your system) to create a required link to the Motif library for Oracle Forms and
Reports:
# cd /usr/lib

# ln -s libXm.so.4.0.4 libXm.so.2
Oracle E-Business Suite Preinstallation RPM (available for Oracle Linux 6, 7 and 8)
The Oracle E-Business Suite Preinstallation RPM (oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall) for Oracle Linux 6, 7 and 8 is available on the
Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN, which requires a support contract) or from the Oracle Linux yum server (under the
'Add-ons' channel) for these Oracle Linux operating systems. It is recommended that this rpm be installed on top of a 'minimal'
install of Oracle Linux to provide just the necessary packages to install and run Oracle E-Business Suite.
As with the Oracle Database Preinstallation RPMs, the Oracle E-Business Suite Preinstallation RPM provides all required Linux
packages for both the EBS application and database tiers, while configuring the environments with particular kernel and other
values to meet most of the requirements published in this document.
Note: Customers on Exadata (Database Machine, Cloud Machine, Cloud Service) should not install the E-Business Suite
Preinstallation RPM as the system already contains all required packages and settings needed to run the Oracle Database.
This preinstallation rpm will significantly reduce the preparation time of the environment prior to installing, upgrading or cloning
an E-Business Suite R12 instance by performing the following tasks:
downloading and installing all software package versions and dependencies required for installing E-Business Suite R12
creating the users oracle and applmgr for use as owners of the database and application tiers respectively, while setting
hard and soft shell resource limits in /etc/security/limits.conf for Oracle Linux 5 and in /etc/security/limits.d/oracle-ebs-
server-R12-preinstall.conf for Oracle Linux 6, 7 and 8

updating kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf to recommended values

sets DNS resolver parameters in /etc/resolv.conf to minimum recommended
values
sets 'numa=off' in the kernel commandline
disables 'Transparent Huge Pages (THP)' for Oracle Linux 6, 7 and 8 if it is enabled
The following are steps needed to install the rpm using public-yum, with sample output from an Oracle Linux 6 installation:
1. As an authorized user (such as root), retrieve the file that configures repository locations:

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget https://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
For Oracle Linux 7, users should replace 'public-yum-ol6.repo' in the command above with 'public-yum-ol7.repo'.
For Oracle Linux 8, review the documentation on DNF and repository configurations, perform the following
commands to install the preinstallation rpm using the DNF utility, and then skip to Step 4:
# dnf install oraclelinux-release -y
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol8_addons
# dnf install oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall.x86_64
2. Using a text editor for Oracle Linux 6 or 7, change the field 'enabled=0' to 'enabled=1' for the repositories
corresponding to the machine's operating system while also enabling the 'addons' channel. Here's an example of a
repo file's entries:
[ol6_latest]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/

Versions listed above are an example - actual versions may be different based on updates to the packages.

Detailed log and backup files are available under /var/log/oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall.
4. While the above installation of the preinstallation rpm includes all required packages and sets kernel parameters
and other system values, it is still necessary to perform a few additional steps prior to using this environment for
an E-Business Suite installation:
4a. Ensure that the hostname setttings meet the requirements as documented in the ' Verifying Host
Names' section.

library patch for HTTP Server.
4b. Install the OS

4c. Create link to Berkeley DB library for HTTP Server.

4d. Check for OPMN port conflict.
4e. Check /etc/services for size as

documented below.
5. Users can now either clone an existing E-Business Suite environment to the new Linux system or install the E-
Business Suite using the Rapid Install by using the rapidwiz utility after correctly downloading and staging the E-
Business Suite media as documented in Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install:

$ cd /u01/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/
$ ./rapidwiz
Users should review the Installation Guide for further details, as well as Release Update Pack (RUP) READMEs as
applicable.
BEFORE INSTALLING OR UPGRADING
If the Release 12.1.1 installation or upgrade is performed with the Rapid Install wizard (either a new R12 installation or upgrade
from 11i to R12), ensure you have the latest Rapid Install patch as described in Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release
12.1.1 (My Oracle Support Knowledge <Document
798258.1>) before you begin your installation or upgrade.
Complete all operating system requirements, software requirements, and other requirements before installing or upgrading
Oracle E-Business Suite.
Upgrade Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server (Oracle Linux 6, RHEL 6, Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7, Oracle
Linux 8, RHEL 8, SLES 12 and SLES 15 only)
Customers who are cloning to the above operating systems must first upgrade the Oracle Database to 11gR2 (11.2.0.3 or higher
for OL/RHEL 6, 11.2.0.4 for OL/RHEL 7 and SLES 12), 12c (12.1.0.1 or higher for OL/RHEL 6, 12.1.0.2 for OL/RHEL 7 and SLES
12) or 19c (for Oracle Linux/RHEL 7 and 8 and SLES 12 and 15) and the Oracle Application Server 10gR3 to 10.1.3.5 on the
source 12.1 system following the respective documents:
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1058763.1, Interoperability Notes Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 with
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0)
My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1524398.1, Interoperability Notes Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0 or 12.1
with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0)
My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2580629.1, Interoperability Notes Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with
Oracle Database 19c
My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 454811.1, Upgrading to the Latest OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-
Business Suite Release 12
Note: Customers upgrading to Oracle Database 12c or 19c on the above OSes must first apply the 12.1.3 (RUP 3) patch on
their 12.1 environments prior to upgrading their Database following the Interoperability Notes above.
Customers who are installing the E-Business Suite on these operating systems using Rapid Install must upgrade these
technology components after the installation of EBS 12.1.
Upgrade Java
Customers who are cloning their EBS environments should upgrade Java on the source 12.1 system following the document:
My Oracle Support Document 1467892.1, Using JDK 7.0 Latest Update with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0 and
12.1
Apply EBS Patches (Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7, Oracle Linux 8, RHEL 8, SLES 12 and 15 only)
Customers who are cloning or performing a platform migration to the above operating systems must do the following on the
source 12.1 system:
Apply the 12.1.3 (RUP 3) patch following the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Readme (My Oracle Support
Knowledget Document 1080973.1)
Apply the following EBS patches:
Patch 19671435:R12.WIP.B
Patch 19863797:R12.ENG.C
Patch 33122367:R12.AD.B (for cloning or migration to Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL 8)
Patch 33690911:R12.AD.B (for cloning or migration to SLES 12)
Patch 33492474 (for cloning to SLES 15)
OPMN port conflict
Attention: By default, the OPMN service of the Application Server technology stack listens on port 6000 when started up
during Rapid Install. This can conflict with the X11 port used for the graphics console on Linux servers and prevent Rapid
Install from completing.
To address this issue, perform the following steps before installing or upgrading:
Check if the port 6000 is being used ("netstat -a | grep 6000")

If so, you should disable the graphics console login process on the Linux server. This can be accomplished by logging in
as root and issuing the following commands:
Find the process that uses port 6000 by the command "lsof -i TCP:6000".
Use "kill -9" to abort the process found in the previous step
Confirm that nothing is listening at port 6000 ("netstat -a | grep 6000")
Modify /etc/inittab by changing "id:5:initdefault:" to "id:3:initdefault:"
Run "/sbin/init 3" to restart dtlogin
Unset environment variable before installing (Oracle Linux 8, RHEL 8, SLES 12 and SLES 15 only)
Unset the ENV environment variable prior to installing (to avoid 10.1.2 Oracle Home registration and relinking failures during
install):
$ unset ENV
Check /etc/services for size
To avoid a Java stack overflow during the registration of the 10.1.2 Oracle Home while installing 12.1, it may be necessary to
backup the /etc/services file, remove commented lines in the file and then restore the file after installing 12.1 if there are a large
number of commented lines (> ~1300) in the file.
INSTALLING OR UPGRADING
Perform the installation or upgrade following the documentation (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install,
Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.1.1 or Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Maintenance
Pack (MP) Installation Instructions Document 752619.1) relevant to the specific installation or upgrade scenario described above.
AFTER INSTALLING OR UPGRADING
Perform the following steps after installing or upgrading to Release 12.1.1 and before allowing users to access the system.
Update AS 10g (10.1.2 and 10.1.3) Oracle Homes (Oracle Linux 6, RHEL 6, Oracle Linux 7, and RHEL 7 only)
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
After installation, users must update the stub libraries in the 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 Oracle Homes using Patch 12415211. In following
the instructions below, please note that Opatch should not be used to install this patch.
Users must specifically copy the files in the patch to the specified directories as follows for the 10.1.2 Oracle Home:
$ cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib
$ cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG
$ cd stubs
$ cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .
$ ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1
$ ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so
After this is done and sourcing the APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env file, users should relink all 10.1.2 executables by running the
$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/adlnktools.sh script and ensuring that there are now no errors in the make log file output from
the script.
The instructions for the 10.1.3 Oracle Home are:
$ cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/lib
$ cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG
$ cd stubs
$ cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .
$ ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1
$ ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so
After this, users should relink sqlplus by running the <INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/clone/adlnkweboh.sh script
and ensuring that there are now no errors in the make log file output from the script.
Upgrade Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server (Oracle Linux 6, RHEL 6, Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7, SLES
12 only)
Customers installing E-Business Suite 12.1.1 on the above operating systems using Rapid Install must upgrade the Oracle
Database to 11gR2 (11.2.0.3 or higher for OL/RHEL 6, 11.2.0.4 for OL/RHEL 7 and SLES 12), 12c (12.1.0.1 or higher for

Note: Customers upgrading to Oracle Database 12c or 19c on the above OSes must first apply the 12.1.3 (RUP 3) patch on
their 12.1 environments prior to upgrading their Database following the Interoperability Notes above.
Customers who are cloning an existing EBS environment to a new environment with these operating systems must upgrade
these technology components prior to performing the clone (as noted above).
Upgrade Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for Oracle Forms and Oracle Application Server (SLES 15 only)
After performing a platform migration of their application tier from a non Linux environment to SLES 15 (i.e. installing the 12.1
technology stack with rapidwiz '-techstack'), you should upgrade the 10.1.2 Oracle Forms OUI and the 10.1.3 Application Server.
To upgrade the OUI, you should install the Patch 6640838 prior to applying any 10.1.2 patches using the OU with the following
options:
$ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent ORACLE_HOME=<path from oui_inventory_directory> ORACLE_HOME_NAME=<name

from oui_inventory_directory> INSTALL_TYPE="Custom"
You must upgrade the 10.1.3 Oracle Application Server following the document My Oracle Support Knowledge Document
454811.1, Upgrading to the Latest OracleAS 10g 10.1.3.x Patch Set in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 and run the OU
installer with the following options:
$ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent ORACLE_HOME=<path from oui_inventory_directory> ORACLE_HOME_NAME=<name

from oui_inventory_directory>
METALINK_USERNAME=<My Oracle Support user name> DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
If cloning an existing EBS environment from Linux to a new environment on SLES 15, you must upgrade these technology
components prior to performing the clone (as noted above).
Upgrade Java
Customers installing EBS 12.1 (using Rapid Install) should upgrade Java after the installation following the document:
12.0 and 12.1
Apply EBS Patches (Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7, SLES 12 and 15 only)
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
Customers installing EBS 12.1.1 on the above operating systems using Rapid Install must do the following after the installation:
Apply the 12.1.3 (RUP 3) patch following the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Readme (My Oracle Support
Knowledge Document 1080973.1)
Apply the following EBS patches:
Patch 19671435:R12.WIP.B
Patch 19863797:R12.ENG.C
Patch 33690911:R12.AD.B (for SLES 12 and 15)
Apply EBS Patch (Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL 8 only)
After migrating an existing EBS 12.1.3 environment to the above operating systems (either through cloning or platform
migration), apply the following patch if not previously applied on your source envrionment:
Patch 33122367:R12.AD.B
Apply AS 10g Forms Patch (Oracle Linux 7, RHEL 7, Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL 8 only)
Apply the Forms Patch 30427122 in order for Oracle Forms Builder and Compiler to work correctly with later Motif versions.
Manually fix database dbf file for Fresh production (PROD) database installs
For older versions of the startCD prior to the current version 12.1.1.13 (see Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1
My Oracle Support Knowledget Document 798258.1), you must run the following sql commands to fix a particular corrupted dbf
file if installing the production (PROD) database:
$ sqlplus/nolog
sql> connect / as sysdba
sql> alter database datafile '[full path of system09.dbf]' resize 1000M;
sql> alter database datafile '[full path of system09.dbf]' resize 1500M;
This step does not need to be run if Rapid Install was run with the current version of the startCD (12.1.1.13 or higher).
Upgrade Value Chain Planning (Advanced Supply Chain Planning) to latest Patch level (Oracle Linux/RHEL 7 and
8 only)
Customers of Value Chain Planning (Advanced Supply Chain Planning) must upgrade to version 12.1.3.9.2
(R12.SCP_PF.B.delta.4) or higher on the above operating systems - refer to My Oracle Support Document 746824.1 for more
information.
Apply Advanced Supply Chain Planning patch (Oracle Linux/RHEL 6, Oracle Linux/RHEL 7, Oracle Linux/RHEL 8,
SLES 12 only)
During the relink phase of the installation of EBS Release 12 (12.1) on the above operating systems, failures will result while
relinking the Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) executables MSO, MSC, MSR and FEM. To fix this problem, users are
required to apply Patch 28822486:R12.AD.B.
Deactivate unsupported products (SLES 15)
After cloning or migrating an existing Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 installation to the target SLES 15 environment, follow these
steps:
Download Patch 33488563 and follow the patch README to run the script to deactivate EBS products not supported on
SLES 15
The following relink error after the application of the patch can be ignored:
"Relink of module "WPCFSQ" failed.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH Environment Variable
Dynamic libraries are used as part of the relinking and execution processes. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
is
used by Oracle E-Business Suite to locate the required dynamic libraries at runtime - this variable is set by the Rapid Install
wizard during the installation of EBS as well as by the Rapid Clone script (adcfgclone) when configuring the target system.
If you need to change these values, use the Edit Parameters function of the OAM AutoConfig tool (by logging in as 'System
Administrator' responsibility, clicking on 'System Administrator', selecting 'AutoConfig' under 'Oracle Applications Manager', and
clicking on the 'Environments' tab):
On each application tier server node:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in three places:
$APPL_TOP/admin/adovars.env
$ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.2/[CONTEXT_NAME].env, in the 10.1.2 Oracle home directory
$ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/[CONTEXT_NAME].env, in the 10.1.3 Oracle home directory
In the AutoConfig interface, this corresponds to:
Location Parameter
adovars LD_LIBRARY_PATH
tools_home (10.1.2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
web_home (10.1.3) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
On the database server node:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in $ORACLE_HOME/[CONTEXT_NAME].env which corresponds in the AutoConfig

interface to:
Location Parameter
db_home LD_LIBRARY_PATH
After making these changes, run AutoConfig (adautocfg.sh) to implement the changes on the application and database tiers.
Additional Information: See AutoConfig in Oracle E-Business Suite Maintenance Utilities for more information on
AutoConfig.
KNOWN ISSUES
The following are known issues for this release:
Certain binutils versions cause sqlplus failure after relink/clone
Certain binutils versions (such as 2.26 and 2.27-27 in RHEL/OL 7) introduced a regression that causes the following failure with a
relinked sqlplus (after a clone operation, for example):

[oracle@apps lib]$ sqlplus <APPS LOGIN>/<APPS PASSWORD>

sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
This was fixed starting in version 2.27-28 in RHEL/OL 7 - customers should upgrade to at least this version of binutils if the
above failure is encountered.
Latest UEK and Red Hat kernel upgrades can cause Oracle Reports to fail
Upgrading to the latest UEK R4 (4.1.12-94.3.8.el6uek or later) and Red Hat kernel (2.6.32-696.3.2.el6 or later) can cause Oracle
Reports to fail with a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error. Users should also upgrade the JDK in the 10.1.2
(Forms/Reports) Oracle Home to the latest JDK 7 (Update 151 or later) in order to avoid this failure by following the appropriate
instructions in:
12.0 and 12.1
Advanced Supply Chain Planning product (MSO) may crash when increasing number of threads for optimization
The 64-bit Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning executable MSONWL64.exe may crash when increasing the number of
threads for optimization on a system with insufficient memory (bug 7259631). The following error is observed when this occurs:
**** glibc detected *** MSONWL64.exe: corrupted double-linked list:

0x00002aaaac0008b0 ****
Patching Application Server Oracle Homes using OPatch (Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 only)
After an installation or clone of Release 12, you will need to set the OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID to '226' prior to applying patches to
the 10.1.2 or 10.1.3 Application Server Oracle Homes. For example, in the "ksh" shell:
$ OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID=226; export OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID
This step is needed to avoid an OPatch Config Assistant failure.
Errors on XFS file system for large disks mounted with 64-bit inode (inode64) option
The use of the XFS file system, the default local filesystem on Oracle Linux/RHEL 7, for larger disks (greater than around 1TB)
with the inode64 mount option may result in errors when using EBS such as:
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from..
Please wait ...Error occurred during initialization of VM

java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
This is due to the use of 32-bit executables in EBS which can result in the accessing of inode numbers on the file system that are
greater than the 2^32 limit of the 32-bit userspace. It is recommended to use the 32-bit inode option (the default for XFS) or
other local filesystems such as ext4 if this problem is encountered.
Warning messages during relink with adadmin (Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL 8 only)
During relinking with adadmin, you may see the following warning messages:
10/21/22, 12:21 PM Document 761566.1
