This appendix contains details of the fields in the various screens of the Rapid Install wizard. It pays special attention to the configuration values that are not visible in the sample screen shots, and also discusses additional system requirements.
This appendix covers the following topics:
This section lists and defines configuration parameters on the Database Install Information screen, the node-specific configuration information screens, and the Global Settings screen in the Rapid Install wizard. Rapid Install uses these values during an installation or upgrade to set up and configure your system.
Additional Information: See File System Structure,Oracle E-Business Suite Concepts for more information about the directories and subdirectories discussed in this section.
This section lists and describes the values you enter on the database install information screen in the Rapid Install wizard. Rapid Install uses this information to set up the top-level directory and the subdirectories on the database node.
Additional Information: For more information, see Tablespace Management in Oracle E-Business Suite Concepts.
This section lists and describes the fields on the application tier node screens in the Rapid Install wizard. You enter configuration details for these nodes (one or more) on the Primary Applications Node Configuration screen.
Additional Information: For more information about required platform-specific maintenance tools, refer to the Installation and Upgrade Notes for your platform listed in Operating System.
This section lists and describes the fields on the Global Settings screen in the Rapid Install wizard. Rapid Install uses them to identify the fully qualified domain name, and derive port settings that your system will use to connect all services and listeners.
Database tier node
The host name for the database tier node must be no longer than 30 characters.
The Rapid Install wizard displays a warning message if the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) exceeds 30 characters. If the host name for the database tier node is no longer than 30 characters, then you can ignore the warning and proceed with the installation. Otherwise you must update the host name before you proceed.
Additionally, the host name must begin with an alphabetic character. The host name cannot include an underscore (_
) character.
Application tier node
The node name returned by the operating system 'hostname' command for the application tier node must be no longer than 30 characters. If you configure your system to return only the host name for the node, without the domain name, then the host name must be no longer than 30 characters. If you configure your system to return the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), then the FQDN must be no longer than 30 characters, including the host name, domain name, and periods (.) used as separators.
The Rapid Install wizard displays a warning message if the FQDN exceeds 30 characters. If your system returns only the host name as the application tier node name, and the host name is no longer than 30 characters, then you can ignore the warning and proceed with the installation. Otherwise you must update your configuration before you proceed.
Additionally, the host name must begin with an alphabetic character. The host name cannot include an underscore (_
) character.
Rapid Install saves the log files associated with the installation or upgrade.
Named <timestamp>.log, they are located as follows.
<APPS_BASE>/12.1.0/temp
<APPS_BASE>/12.1.0/appsutil/log/<CONTEXT_NAME>
For example:
/u01/oracle/VIS/12.1.0/appsutil/log/<CONTEXT_NAME>
<APPS_BASE>/fs1/inst/apps/<CONTEXT_NAME>/logs
<APPS_BASE>/fs2/inst/apps/<CONTEXT_NAME>/logs
For example:
/u01/R122_EBS/fs1/inst/apps/<CONTEXT_NAME>/logs
In Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0, the fresh database installed by Rapid Install is Oracle 12cR1 (12.1.0.2). It can be used for any purpose, such as a production system or a test system. It is minimally sized, with 100% sizing factor. The default character set is US7ASCII, and the default database block size is 8192 bytes.
Important: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0 requires a database block size of 8K. No other size may be used.
The initialization file for the database is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory, and is called init<SID>.ora.
In Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0, all base products are fully installed. However, only basic technology products are automatically registered as being licensed and active. You register all the products in your Oracle licensing agreement using the Rapid Install wizard. During the process of entering initial configuration values on the wizard screens, you can change the character set, and Rapid Install will convert your database accordingly.
The database utilizes the Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM). This streamlined model consists of locally managed tablespaces based on the objects' input/output characteristics. OATM also provides support for implementing Oracle Real Application Clusters on Linux.
Additional Information: For further details of OATM, see Oracle E-Business Suite Setup Guide.
The tablespace sizes shown below are approximate, and may vary from platform to platform.

The Vision Demo database provides a sample set of transaction data for a fictitious company (Vision Corporation). It uses most Oracle E-Business Suite products and is configured for multinode systems. It is installed with the AL32UTF8 (universal) character set to maximize the number of supported languages.
The database initialization file is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory, and is called init<SID>.ora.
Note: The sizes shown in the table are approximate, and may vary from platform to platform.
