Performing Pre-Configuration Setup

This section describes pre-configuration requirements for Oracle Rapid Planning. The tasks mentioned below need to be completed after applying Rapid Planning patch and before starting the installation.

Verify that WebLogic 11gR1 is installed.

Release 12.1.3.4 and later needs ADF PS3 [ADF 11.1.1.4 , WLS 10.3.4 - 11g R1 PS3]. Upgrade your WebLogic installation before you upgrade Oracle Rapid Planning.
Cross mount the location for logs and files written by the concurrent programs with the WebLogic Server used for Rapid Planning.
The following profiles should be set up in EBS at site level (the EBS instance which the data source points to):
- User Profile Name: MSC: Oracle Rapid Planning URL
  
  Internal Profile Name: MSC_RP_HOST_URL
  
  The port number provided in the profile value should be same as the port number for the User Interface Domain that is defined in Creating the User Interface Domain.
  
  Example Format:
  
  http://domain_name:port_number
  
  Example:
  
  http://rws60144rems.us.oracle.com:6087
- User Profile Name: MSC: Rapid Planning UI Refresh Timeout
  
  Internal Profile Name: MSC_RP_UI_TIMEOUT
  
  Example:
  
  5000 (Number in milliseconds)
- User Profile Name: MSC: Rapid Planning WebLogic Server Home
  
  Internal Profile Name: MSC_RP_WLS_HOME
  
  Provide the installation path to the <WLS_Home> directory.
  
  Example:
  
  /slot/user3536/wls/wlserver_10.3
  
  Make the Rapid Planning WebLogic Server and Oracle e-Business Suite Server URLs in the same domain/subdomain for proper Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication.`
- User Profile Name: MSC: Rapid Planning Scripts Home
  
  Internal Profile Name: MSC_RP_SCRIPTS_HOME
  
  This profile should point to the directory where all the WLST_scripts will be kept.
  
  Example:
  
  /slot/ems5910/appmgr/WLS/user_projects/domains/WLST_Scripts
After applying the respective patches for Rapid Planning User Interface, Rapid Planning Administration, and Rapid Planning Engine, verify that the following ZIP files appear in the directory path $MSC_TOP/dist/orp.

Example:

/slot/ems4928/appmgr/apps/apps_st/appl/msc/12.0.0/dist/orpRPAdmin.zipui.zipengine.zip
- RPAdmin.zip
- ui.zip
- engine.zip
Create a folder named ORPTEMP in a user-defined directory (example: /tmp/ORPTEMP) on the host machine where WebLogic is installed. This folder is referenced as ORPTEMP in this document.
Copy the ZIP files to the folder ORPTEMP.
Extract all the ZIP files in the same folder.

Each unzipped file contains a respective EAR file. The EAR files will be selected from this location during deployment.
To copy the class files, run the script InitialEngineSetup.sh in the folder WLST_scripts as shown in the following example:
- Log in to the machine where EBS is installed with username as APPL manager user or APPL TOP owner.
- Set the environment variable $MSC_TOP to the path where you copied the patch.
  
  Example:
  
  /slot/ems4928/appmgr/apps/apps_st/appl/msc/12.0
- Set the environment variable $JAVA_TOP to the path having Java classes.
  
  Example:
  
  /slot/ems2947/appmgr/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes
After unzipping the file RPAdmin.zip, all the scripts are located in the folder RPAdmin/WLST_scripts. Copy the folder WLST_scripts to the path where Engine domain has been created:

Example:

<WLS_HOME>/user_projects/domains

If the directory domains is not present, create it manually.

All scripts should be run from this path only.

Ensure that the copied WLST_Scripts folder and the contents have rwx permissions for the UNIX session user launching the WebLogic Server.

Example:

chmod 777 *

<WLS_HOME> refers to the name of the directory where WebLogic has been installed.

The WebLogic admin user should have write permissions on the <WLS_HOME> folder and subfolders.
Use the following steps for enabling the Rapid Planning application access through EBS:

cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin

perl ojspCompile.pl --compile -s 'MscRPRedirect.jsp' --flush
After compiling, verify that the timestamp of file _MscRPRedirect.class under $COMMON_TOP/_pages is current.
After compilation, restart the EBS Middle Tier.
Once Rapid Planning patch is applied, assign Oracle Supply Chain Simulation Planner responsibility to the user account.
Assign Planning Organizations to Oracle Supply Chain Simulation Planner Responsibility.
- Navigate to Advanced Planning Administrator > Admin > Organization Security.
- Select Oracle Supply Chain Simulation Planner Responsibility.
- Assign Organizations by moving the required organizations to the Selected list.
- Save the assignments.
