These are the steps to preparing to upgrade to R12.2.0, beginning with preparing your upgrade filesystem by downloading the appropriate files.
Install Linux 64 bit. I used OEL 6.5 and Red Hat 6.7 and both worked fine. This post uses examples from OEL6.5.
Download all the 12.2.0 zip files from edelivery.oracle.com:
V29856-01.zip V35231-01_5of5.zip V35805-01_1of2.zip V35809-01.zip
V35230-01_1of2.zip V35802-01.zip V35805-01_2of2.zip V35810-01.zip
V35230-01_2of2.zip V35803-01_1of3.zip V35806-01_1of3.zip V35811-01.zip V35231-01_1of5.zip V35803-01_2of3.zip V35806-01_2of3.zip V35812-01.zip V35231-01_2of5.zip V35803-01_3of3.zip V35806-01_3of3.zip V35813-01.zip V35231-01_3of5.zip V35804-01_1of2.zip V35807-01.zip
V37384-01.zip V35231-01_4of5.zip V35804-01_2of2.zip V35808-01.zip
Download the startCD 50 patches, from support.oracle.com:
p21055525_R12_GENERIC_1of2.zip p21055525_R12_GENERIC_2of2.zip
Use MOS Note: Troubleshooting Rapid Install for E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc ID 1378579.1) to build the stage directory.
Create /StageR122 directory, or whatever directory you want to use to stage the software.
Unzip the startCD patches to the startCD directory and copy/move to /StageR122:
cp startCD /StageR122/.
run buildstage.sh from /StageR122/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin
You should now have the following directories in your stage directory, as well as all the zip files you downloaded from edelivery.oracle.com:
The staging area should consist of a top-level directory with subdirectories startCD, EBSInstallMedia, TechInstallMedia, and TechPatches.
The startCD directory contains Rapid Install itself (in a subdirectory called Disk1), plus supporting files and documentation.
The EBSInstallMedia directory should contain the following subdirectories:
- AppDB (Oracle E-Business Suite Database)
- Apps (Oracle E-Business Suite products)
- AS10.1.2 (Oracle Application Server 10.1.2)
The TechInstallMedia directory should contain the following subdirectories:
- database (Oracle11gR2 ORACLE_HOME)
- ohs11116 (Oracle HTTP Server)
- wls1036_generic (Oracle WebLogic Server, part of Oracle Fusion Middleware)
The TechPatches directory should contain the following subdirectories:
- MiddleTier (Application tier patches)
- DB (Database Tier patches)
If you have any problems installing the R12.2.0 software, run md5sum:

Or, download the md5sum_Linux64.txt file from note: MD5 Checksums for R12.2 Rapid Install Media (
Doc ID 1505510.1 ) and run the following:
$ cd /StageR122
$ md5sum –check md5sum_Linux64.txt > md5sum_result.txt
In my case, I had a corrupt file listed in md5sum_result.txt:
startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/template/restore-single2.sql: FAILED
I re-downloaded the startCD50 patches and the install worked.
Additionally, you can follow Metalink note 250262.1 ,to install the RDA diagnostic test and then run option 4 to check the database or option 21 to check the application tier.
Make sure you run it using the following syntax:
rda.sh -T hcve

From MOS Note 1330701.1,
- disable selinux
- check swap space is at least 16 GB or equal to your physical memory, whichever is greater.
- Make sure the following are in your PATH:
- ar
- gcc
- g++
- ksh
- ld
- linux32
- make
- X Display Server
- 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
5. 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]
6. Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]
or as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name]
NISDOMAIN=[domain_name]
7. The kernel parameters and ulimits should be changed when you run:
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64
yum install oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall
as shown below.
Before running Rapidwiz:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
I altered the /etc/yum.repos.d directory to add the ol6_addons, public_ol6_u5_base and ran the yum commands:
from MOS Note 1330701.1
[ol6_addons]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/$basearch/
gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
[public_ol6_u5_base]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/5/base/$basearch/
gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
Then run:
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64
yum install oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall
This section should not be necessary, but you can check /usr/lib for the correct symbolic links:
Then relink the motif libraries:
unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
before running Rapidwiz:
run as root, set directory base to 777:
xhost + as root in the window you will run Rapid Install
cd /StageR122/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
./rapidwiz
Screenshots of rapidwiz.
The figure below shows the components that are installed. In our case, we have already upgraded the database to 12.1.0.2, so we won’t use the 11.2.0.3 database that comes with rapid install. Also, notice the Fusion Middleware is 11.1.1.7. We will upgrade this to 11.1.1.9 after the upgrade to 12.2.5. Refer to MOS Notes:
Announcing Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.9.0) (Doc ID 2003468.1)
Fs_clone Is Failing After Applying AD/TXK Delta-7 Patches And FMW Upgrade To 11.1.1.9 (Doc ID 2082408.1)
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Download, Installation, and Configuration ReadMe
11g Release 1 (11.1.1.9.0)
After the install, these are the Rapid Install Configuration Logs:
Configuration file written to: /d05/oracle/VIS/fs1/inst/apps/VIS_rh14/conf_VIS.txt Configuration file written to: /d05/oracle/VIS/fs2/inst/apps/VIS_rh14/conf_VIS.txt Configuration file written to: /d03/oracle/VIS/12.1.0/appsutil/conf_VIS.txt Configuration file written to: /d03/oracle/VIS/12.1.0/appsutil/conf_VIS.txt Configuration file written to: /d03/oracle/VIS/12.1.0/appsutil/conf_VIS.txt Configuration file written to: /d03/oracle/VIS/12.1.0/appsutil/conf_VIS.txt Database logfile – /d03/oracle/VIS/12.1.0/appsutil/log/VIS_rh14/01071923.log Second File System logfile – /d05/oracle/VIS/fs2/inst/apps/VIS_rh14/logs/01071923.log First File System logfile – /d05/oracle/VIS/fs1/inst/apps/VIS_rh14/logs/01071923.log
Database node configuration – since we already have upgraded the database to 12.1.0.2, we check the box for Use Existing Oracle Home, and specify the location of the new Oracle Home.
Check your existing Database Character Set and set this accordingly.
These four checks won’t work, because the database connectivity doesn’t yet exist. Even though the database may be up and running, the port is not defined and the upgrade file systems doesn’t know how to connect to the database. Therefore, these should be the only acceptable failures during the install of the 12.2.0 upgrade file system.
