Oracleâ E-Business Suite Certified Configuration

Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration Overview

The Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration consists of the following main components:

• Oracle Applications 11i

• Oracle Database Certified Configuration

• Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

• Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)

You can install each component independently of the other components.

Before you can deploy Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration components, you must fulfill the certified operating system and hardware requirements that this guide specifies. This guide provides instructions on performing the following tasks:

1. Run setup.sh to install the auxiliary E-Business Suite Outsourcing (ebso) scripts to your machine and update the operating system.

2. Run setup_oap.sh to install OAP tools and utilities.

3. Install the volume manager software and configure disk group vg00.

4. Run the ocheck validation script to make sure you have the proper operating environment.

Naming Conventions

The Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration release 11.5.8 distribution contains zip files for the default GOLD environment. The default GOLD environment consists of the IGOLD, DGOLD, SGOLD and IOLAP components. These components are deployed using /admin/ebso/install/deploy.sh. You can use the default GOLD naming, or you can specify a new name for your environment. You can update (rename) the environment at a later time.

Before you begin, gather the following information:

• Customer short code - This is a four-character code uniquely identifying the customer on the system.

• Environment type - Test, Development, Stage, or Production.

The name of your environment determines the database system identifier (SID), mount points, and user names and groups. You can deploy each component as one of the following four environment types: Test, Development, Stage, or Production. Each environment type has its own set of port numbers.

The name of an environment consists of six characters. The first letter must be the initial letter of the type of environment that you want to deploy, for example, (T)est, (D)evelopment, (S)tage, or (P)roduction. The next four characters represent the unique customer short code. And the last letter identifies the software component.

Configuration Options

The following are possible configuration options:

• Oracle Applications 11i

• Oracle Database Certified Configuration

• Oracle Internet Directory

• Online Analytical Processing

Table 9 Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration Components

Minimum Requirements

This section contains information on minimum operating system, hardware, and configuration requirements. You must make sure that you fulfill these requirements before you deploy Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration. This section includes the following topics:

• Minimum Operating System Requirements

• Minimum Hardware Requirements

• Other Configuration Requirements

Staging the Installation Environment

Perform the following procedure to stage the HP 9000 Series HP-UX 11.11 environment:

1. Log in as the root user.

2. Copy the auxiliary Oracle E-Business Suite Outsourcing (ebso) files to the /admin/ebso directory from an NFS mount location or from the CD-ROM.

   • To install from an NFS mount location, enter the following commands:

     # mkdir /stage
     # mount psd-sun.us.oracle.com:/image/1158/HP_UX/CD/Start_Here\
      /stage
     # cd /stage/admin/ebso/install
     # ./setup.sh
     
     

     When prompted for the location of the EBSO_HOME, press Enter to accept the default value, /admin/ebso.

     Unmount the /stage directory, using the following commands:

     # cd /
     # umount /stage
     
     

   • To install from CD-ROM, insert the Start_Here CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and start the install, using the following commands:

     # pfs_mount cd_raw_device /cdrom
     # cd /cdrom/oap/install
     # ./setup.sh
     
     

     When prompted for the location of the EBSO_HOME, press Enter to accept the default value, /admin/ebso.

     Unmount the CD-ROM, using the following commands:

     # cd /
     # pfs_umount /cdrom
     

Installing the Outsourcing Automation Platform Distribution

The Outsourcing Automation Platform (OAP) distribution contains files for installing the following products:

• APPSAUTO

• AutoVerify

• OEM Intelligent Agent

• PTS Client

• Serviceability

• Support Agent

After you perform the procedure in the Staging the Installation Environment section, you can install the OAP distribution from an NFS mount location or from the CD-ROM.

• To install from an NFS mount location, enter the following commands:

  # mount psd-sun.us.oracle.com:/image/1158/HP_UX/CD/Start_Here/oap\
   /stage
  # cd /stage/install
  # ./setup_oap.sh
  
  

  When prompted for the location of the OAP_HOME, press Enter to accept the default value, /admin.

  Unmount the /stage directory, using the following commands:

  # cd /
  # umount /stage
  
  

• To install from CD-ROM, insert the Start_Here CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and start the install, using the following commands:

  # cd /mnt/cdrom/oap/install
  # ./setup_oap.sh
  
  

  When prompted for the location of the OAP_HOME, press Enter to accept the default value, /admin. Then, return to the root directory and eject the CD-ROM.

Validation Script

You can install Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration on existing hardware with an existing operating system, if the hardware and operating system meet the minimum requirements. The media kit includes the validation script, ocheck, that checks the hardware and operating system before you install Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration.

Deploying Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration

Perform the following tasks to create the Oracle E-Business Suite Certified Configuration:

1. Log out of the system, and then log back in as the root user.

2. Verify that you set the EBSO_HOME environment variable.

3. Perform one of the following tasks:

   • Deploy the image from an NFS mount location, using the following commands:

     # mkdir /stage
     # mount psd-sun.us.oracle.com:/image/1158/HP_UX/NFS /stage
     
     

   • Deploy from CD-ROM, making sure that you mounted the /stage partition with 20 GB of available space in order to unload the contents of the CD-ROM.

4. Run the deploy.sh script, using the following commands:

   # cd /admin/ebso/install
   # ./deploy.sh

   Table 16 describes under what conditions you should perform each action and what additional steps you need to take to accomplish the action.

   Table 16 Installation Actions

   Action	Condition
   1	If the vg00 volume group does not already exist. A volume group is a grouping of physical disk partitions. vg00 must exist before you create logical volumes for mounting file systems. When prompted, enter the external storage device (For example, sdb).
   2	If the vg00 volume group already exists.
   3	If you want to NFS mount the directories. Depending on the product that you are deploying, enter the mount points for some or all of the following, when prompted: /interface /mount_point/oracle /mount_point/oradata /mount_point/arch /mount_point/applmgr /mount_point/applcsf
