Add Cygwin Bin Directory to PathAdd the cygwin bin directory to
the system path. For instance:
C:\> set path = %path%;C:\cygwin\binNote: When using Cygwin
with Oracle E-Business Suite, use the make utility installed with
Cygwin. The system path must contain only the gnumake.exe in the
Cygwin bin directory.
No JDK installation is required, JDK is bundled with Oracle
Applications R12 installation.
Set Up the Stage Area:
Stage Area (D:\Stage12.1) requires 38 GB hard disk space.
Extract the zip files (25 files) which have been downloaded from
(http://edelivery.oracle.com). Nothing special to do since the
extracted files will create the stage area directory structure by
itself. You should see the following structure under
'D:\Stage12.1.' once you are done with the files extraction:
- startCD > Disk1- oraAppDB > (Disk 1 to Disk 49)- oraApps
> (Disk 1 to Disk 11)- oraAS > (Disk 1 to Disk 3)- oraDB >
(Disk 1 to Disk 5)
Start the installation:
D:\> cd
Stage12.1\startCD\Disk1\rapidwizD:\Stage12.1\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz>
RapidWiz.cmd
The installation wizard is similar to 11.5.10 RapidWiz. For
'VC++' and 'Cygwin' I have provided the following paths:
UNIX toolkit directory=C:\VCPlus\VCVisual Studio
Directory=C:\cygwin\bin
- It took almost 4 hours to install the Vision instance- Total
space required to install almost 220 GB for Vision instance
After successful installation, login to Application without
having any problem, but when tried to run a concurrent request
there is no concurrent manager is active.So, I have changed the
concurrent request services properties..Log-On -> Allow service
to Interact with desktop
And decided to autoconfig both dbtier and application tierFirst,
source the environment using the following command (start -> run
-> cmd and press
OK)C:\oracle\VIS\inst\apps\apps_st\appl\APPSVIS_visr12.cmdThe
change to Instance script directory usingcd
%ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME%Adautocfg.cmdAfter completed successfully, stop
the application serviceAdstpall.cmdThen did the autoconfig for DB
Tier ( start -> run -> cmd and press OK)soure the environment
usingc:\oracle\VIS\db\tech_st\11.1.0\VIS_visr12.cmdcd
%ORACLE_HOME\appsutils\scripts\VIS_visr12\Adautocfg.cmdAfter
successful completion stop both database and listenerAddbctl.cmd
stopAddblstl.cmd stop VISRestarted the machine.Now everything back
to normal, concurrent managers are up and running.
