This section contains information you need to install and configure Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 or later. Before proceeding with the installation, refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite documentation and relevant MOS notes that are listed in the References section.
The configuration requirements in this section apply only to HA for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 or later.
![]() | Caution - If your data service configuration does not conform to these requirements, the data service configuration might not be supported. |
Note the following configuration requirements, if you are installing or upgrading to a new Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.4 or later system.
The Primary Applications Node must be installed using an Oracle Solaris Cluster logical host.
The Apps Base Dir, must use a Shared Application Tier File System such as a Cluster File System or NFS from a NAS storage system. For example, the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance.
The Shared Application Tier File System must be managed within Oracle Solaris Cluster by either the SUNW.HAStoragePlus (Cluster File System) or SUNW.ScalMountPoint (NFS) resource type. For more information, see the SUNW.HAStoragePlus(5) and SUNW.ScalMountPoint(5) man pages.
Furthermore, Applications Nodes must be installed after the system has been upgraded to Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.4 and AD/TXK C.Delta.6 or later.
This section describes additional configuration requirements that you must follow while installing or upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2 or later.
Symbolic links - You must create the symbolic links as the Primary Applications Node is installed with a logical hostname.
As the root user on each Oracle Solaris Cluster node, create the following symbolic links:
# ln -s /usr/cluster/lib/libschost.so.1 /usr/lib/secure/libschost.so.1 # ln -s /usr/cluster/lib/64/libschost.so.1 /usr/lib/secure/64/libschost.so.1
Environment variables - If you need to source Apps Base Dir/EBSapps.env run|patch for the Primary Applications Node or any Applications Node, that uses an Oracle Solaris Cluster logical host, you must ensure that the following environment variables are set.
As the Oracle E-Business Suite Apps user, set the following environment variables:
$ export SC_LHOSTNAME=logical host $ export LD_PRELOAD_32=/usr/lib/secure/libschost.so.1 $ export LD_PRELOAD_64=/usr/lib/secure/64/libschost.so.1
In the following command, replace logical host with the Oracle Solaris Cluster logical hostname used for the Primary Applications Node. Replace global_db_name with the entry from the context file.
${INST_TOP}/appl/admin/customglobal_db_name_logical host.env
The Oracle Solaris Cluster resource type ORCL.ebs needs to retrieve passwords for the WebLogic Administrator and APPS user. These passwords must be saved by issuing the following command as the root user from an Oracle Solaris Cluster node. For the WebLogic Administrator password, provide the WebLogic Administrator password when prompted to enter a string value.
# /usr/cluster/bin/clpstring create -b db_name -t resource global_db_name_WLS Enter string value: Enter string value again: #
For the APPS password, provide the APPS password when prompted to enter a string value. In the following command, replace global_db_name with the entry from the context file.
# /usr/cluster/bin/clpstring create -b db_name -t resource global_db_name_APPS Enter string value: Enter string value again: #
Whenever an online patch is being applied, before running the cutover phase you must stop the Oracle E-Business Suite services using Oracle Solaris Cluster commands.
For example:
# /usr/cluster/bin/clresource disable resource
When executing the cutover phase, you must specify the mtrestart=no parameter and then manually start the Oracle E-Business Suite services using the Oracle Solaris Cluster commands.
For example:
$ adop phase=cutover mtrestart=no
Once the cutover phase has completed successfully, start the Oracle Solaris Cluster resources.
# /usr/cluster/bin/clresource enable resource
