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 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. 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 for Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4 and 5, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10:

Verifying Host Names

Use the following to verify host name settings: For Oracle Linux 4 and 5, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4 and 5: 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. Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:

HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]

3. If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it. 4. If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system. For SUSE Linux SLES 9 and 10: 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.

OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server (on Oracle Linux 5 and RHEL 5 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 st Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be applied before installing Oracle E-Business Suite.

Link to Motif library in Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (on Oracle Linux 5 and RHEL 5 only)
Perform the following command (as root on your system) to update a required link to a Motif library prior to relinking or patching the 10.1.2 Application Server Oracle Home:

# unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 # ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

Without this updated link, you may see the following errors during a relink of the 10.1.2 Oracle Home:

/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to

`__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4' `__fprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4' `__sprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'

Since the ldconfig command overrides this link, the above link command (ln) will have to be re-issued after running the ldconfig command.

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 Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 (My Oracle Support 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 .

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 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 (for SLES 10 only)

Unset the ENV environment variable prior to installing (to avoid failure of the registration of the 10.1.2 Oracle Home during install):

$ unset ENV

Manually fix database dbf file

If you installed 12.1.1 with a startCD of 12.1.1.9 or earlier (see Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 My Oracle Support Document 798258.1), you must run the foll particular corrupted dbf file:

$ 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;

Relink Advanced Supply Chain Planning executables (for SLES 10 and Oracle Linux/RHEL 5.4 or higher only)
During the relink phase of the installation of EBS Release 12 (12.1.1) on SLES 10 or Oracle Linux/RHEL 5.4 (Update 4 or higher), failures will result while relinking the Advanced executables MSO, MSC, MSR and FEM. To fix this problem, users are required to replace the following line under the Linux section of the $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh:

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh'

with

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh -Wl,--noinhibit-exec'

After making this change, users are then required to run the adadmin utility and relink application executables.

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 requ 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 Admi under 'Oracle Applications Manager', and clicking on the 'Environments' tab): On each application tier server node: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in three places:

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.

Net Service Listeners in Multi-user Installations

Net Service Listeners use the /var/tmp.oracle directory to store temporary files. To give all users in a multi-user installation write privileges, update /var/tmp/.oracle with 777

$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/.oracle

LD_PRELOAD setting on Oracle Exalogic machine incompatible with E-Business Suite

Customers installing Oracle E-Business Suite on the Oracle Exalogic machine running Oracle Linux 5 may see the following error when performing administration or cloning tasks

Can't open ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libsdp.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.: No such file or directory

This error is due to the LD_PRELOAD environment being set by default on Exalogic machines (in the /etc/profile file) to "/usr/lib64/libsdp.so". Users should unset this variable in th E-Business Suite administration or cloning tasks (AD utilities) with the command:

$ unset LD_PRELOAD
