Certification Information
The latest certification information for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 is available on My Oracle Support's Certification tab: http://support.oracle.com
*: only supported on the application (or middle) tier for upgrade customers in a multi-node system, or for both application and database tiers if the customer is on 10gR2. These OS'es are not supported for a new installation of 12.1.1 because version 11gR1 of the Database is delivered with Rapid Install and is not supported on these OS'es.

JDK 6 Requirements
JDK 6 is bundled with Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.1.1. Additional Information: Check the Sun Web site for any updates to the JDK 6 requirements for Linux (32-bit): http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jdk/install-linux.html#requirements
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++ ld ksh make X Display Server
Other Requirements
The following are other requirements for Linux (32-bit).
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 3, 4, and 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10:
Parameter kernel.semmsl kernel.semmns kernel.semopm kernel.semmni kernel.shmall kernel.shmmax kernel.shmmni kernel.msgmax kernel.msgmnb kernel.msgmni fs.file-max Value 2561 320001 1001 1421 2097152 Half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least 21474836482 4096 8192 65535 2878 131072
: set using the following entry in the /etc/sysctl.conf file: kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142 : 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.
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
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 9 and 10: 1. Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
2. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]
3. If you changed any files in the previous step, restart the system.
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 stack. Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be applied before installing Oracle E-Business Suite.
Link to Motif library for 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.
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: o Find the process that uses port 6000 by the command "lsof -i TCP:6000". o Use "kill -9" to abort the process found in the previous step o Confirm that nothing is listening at port 6000 ("netstat -a | grep 6000") o Modify /etc/inittab by changing "id:5:initdefault:" to "id:3:initdefault:" o Run "/sbin/init 3" to restart dtlogin
Installing or Upgrading
Perform the installation or upgrade following the documentation (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install, Oracle EBusiness Suite Upgrade Guide: Release 11i to Release 12.1.1 or Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Maintenance Pack instructions) relevant to the specific installation or upgrade scenario described above.
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 Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) executables. 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
After making this change, users are then required to run the adadmin utility and relink application executables. Additional Information: The application of an EBS Release Update Pack (RUP) or AD family pack could over-write the adrelinknew.sh file - users must then re-edit and make changes to the above file in order to avoid relinking failures.
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.
