Abstract This white paper introduces the process of upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 on AIX® 7.1. The Oracle Rapidwiz installer allows installation of EBS 12.1.1 Database and Application tiers on a single or multi-node configuration. An upgrade to EBS 12.1.3 must be done by upgrading the two tiers and services on an existing EBS 12.1.1 configuration. This document outlines the upgrade process and provides tips and hints to help make the process simpler and more predictable.

Prerequisites The document assumes a working knowledge of Oracle E-Business Suite.

Introduction Oracle E-Business Suite primarily consists of three tiers:

Database Tier Application Tier Desktop Tier

The database tier holds the application metadata along with the transactional data. The database tier could be a single or multi-node Oracle RAC setup. With the default EBS 12c RapidWiz installation, Oracle Database 11g Release 1 11.1.0.7 gets installed.

The application tier consists of two Oracle Application Server instances with 2 different versions. Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 runs the Oracle Web Services and renders the HTML web pages while Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 hosts and services the Oracle Forms and Reports. These two application server

instances share the file system. The application tier can as well be single node or multi-node providing seamless scalability to Oracle EBS.

The desktop tier in Oracle EBS runs in compatible browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. The

EBS end user interface is a combination of JSP/HTML pages and Applet based Oracle Forms. Depending upon the module selected, the respective pages are launched. It is mandatory to have compatible version of Sun J2SE Java™ plug-in enabled in the browser to be able to run Oracle E-

Business Suite Forms.

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 upgrade In this document, we provide instructions, tips and guidelines for a 2-node configuration (i.e. database and app tiers on different nodes) on AIX 7.1 TL1.

The following configuration settings were used in this whitepaper; wherever not mentioned, use the default settings such as users, passwords, service ports etc.

Users/Groups

Database tier user/group: oracle/dba

Applications tier user/group: applmgr/dba

Installation base locations

Database tier: /d01

Applications tier: /d02

Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 installation

Detailed instructions about Oracle EBS 12.1.1 installation on AIX can be obtained from the whitepaper

titled Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 Installation and Tips for IBM AIX - Erik Salander, Erik Kane (Mar 2009).

Also, refer to the Oracle Support Note: Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release

12 (12.1.1) for IBM AIX on Power Systems (64-bit) (Doc ID: 761569.1)


3

Hint: Certain EBS 12.1.3 patches require latest filesets to be available. So, on AIX 7.1 we recommend upgrading to at least 7100-01-08-1334.

Hint: Apply the Rapid Install startCD patch 12.1.1.13 or later – patch 11072566.

After the installation, please make sure that there are at least three Oracle Home entries in the inventory. The steps to check this are as follows:

1. Login to the node where the database server is running. The inventory is typically maintained in a directory parallel to the directory where database is installed.

2. Navigate to the directory .../oraInventory/ContentsXML/ and open the file inventory.xml.

3. This file should have at least three entries corresponding to the different Oracle Homes for database and the two application server homes. E.g: <INVENTORY>

<VERSION_INFO> <SAVED_WITH>10.2.0.1.0</SAVED_WITH> <MINIMUM_VER>2.1.0.6.0</MINIMUM_VER>

</VERSION_INFO> <HOME_LIST> <HOME NAME="TEST_DB__oracle_db_tech_st_10_2_0" LOC="/oracle/db/tech_st/10.2.0"

TYPE="O" IDX="1" REMOVED="T"/> <HOME NAME="TEST_WEBOH__oracle_apps_tech_st_10_1_3" LOC="/oracle/apps/tech_st/10.1.3" TYPE="O" IDX="2"/>

<HOME NAME="TEST_TOOLS__oracle_apps_tech_st_10_1_2" LOC="/oracle/apps/tech_st/10.1.2" TYPE="O" IDX="3"/> <HOME NAME="TEST_DB112__oracle_db_tech_st_11_2_0" LOC="/oracle/db/tech_st/11.2.0"

TYPE="O" IDX="4"/> 4. If there are less than three entries, please follow the steps below to add the respective Oracle

homes:

Run the command below with correct parameters to make the Oracle Home entries:

<OUI_Directory>$./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -attachHome –invPtrLoc <OraInst.loc_Directory> ORACLE_HOME=”<Oracle_Home_Dir>”

ORACLE_HOME_NAME=<Oracle_Home_Name>

For example:

icc-107 EBS-APP /d02/oracle/VIS/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/oui/bin$ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs -silent -

attachHome -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOME="/d02/oracle/VIS/apps/tech_st/10.1.3" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="VIS_TOOLS__d02_oracle_VIS_apps_tech_st_10_1_3"

Upgrade Oracle EBS database from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3

Refer to the Oracle Support Note: Interoperability Notes EBS 12.0 and 12.1 with Database 11gR2 (Doc

ID 1058763.1)

Pre-upgrade

Prepare the applications tier for the database upgrade:


4

1. Login as the applications tier user (e.g. applmgr). 2. Shutdown applications tier but keep database tier up and running.

3. Put the applications tier in maintenance mode using adadmin. 4. Apply the following patches using adpatch:

a. 9062910

b. 8919489 c. 9583541 d. 9868229

e. 11071569 f. 10163753 (apply patch using adpatch preinstall=y)

5. Apply following AutoConfig patches:

a. 9738085 b. 9852070 c. 12686610

6. Make appsutil.zip on the applications tier and copy it on the database tier. 7. Execute adautocfg first on the database tier and then the applications tier. 8. Take the applications tier out of maintenance mode.

9. Restart applications tier and validate Oracle EBS operations.

Upgrade the EBS database from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3

1. Shutdown the application tier services and then the existing Oracle Database 11g Release 1

instance. 2. Install Oracle Database11g Release 2 database software in a new $ORACLE_HOME (in this

whitepaper, Oracle Database 11g Release 2 software is installed under $ORACLE_BASE:

/d01/ora). 3. Post-installation, set the following environment variables in your oracle profile:

ORACLE_BASE=/d01/ora

ORACLE_HOME=/d01/ora/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib

PERL5LIB=$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.10.0:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.10.0:$PERL5LIB

4. Install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 examples database, which can be obtained from:

viii. Take the applications tier out of maintenance mode

6. Update Library Path for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 to Use with JDK 6.0.


16

a. Start applications tier services. b. Modify variable "Tools OH LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in the AutoConfig Context File.

c. Edit the context file by logging in to Oracle Applications Manager and navigate to System Administration > OAM (System Configurations Overview) >

Site Map > Administration > System Configuration >

AutoConfig > Applications Context File > Edit Parameters >

Environments d. Update the value of the environment variable "Tools OH LD_LIBRARY_PATH" (context

variable s_tools_ldlib). This environment variable consists of a list of values of library paths for

the Tools Oracle Home, separated by colons on UNIX and semicolons on Windows. e. Append <10.1.2 OH>/jdk/jre/lib/ppc to the the original (existing) value, replacing <10.1.2 OH>

with the actual path to your 10.1.2 Oracle Home (for example,

/d1/oracle/PROD/apps/tech_st/10.1.2). f. Confirm that the resulting new value of "Tools OH LD_LIBRARY_PATH" looks something like

the following, with a path that reflects your own system: <Original

Value>:/d1/oracle/PROD/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/jdk/jre/lib/ppc where <Original Value> is the existing value of "Tools OH LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

g. Regenerate AutoConfig configuration files

$ su – applmgr $ /d02/oracle/VIS/inst/apps/VIS_oracle187/admin/scripts/adautocfg.sh appspass=apps

h. Restart Oracle E-Business Suite application tier services.

7. Test JDK version a. Create JDKtest.jsp file

Create file under OA_HTML directory containing following line:

Look under /d02/oracle/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/admin/adovars.env to see which directory is OA_HTML The JDK version is: <%= System.getProperty("java.version") %>

b. Compile JDKtest.jsp script oracle187 EBS-APP /d02/oracle/VIS/apps/apps_st/comn/webapps/oacore/html$ export FND_TOP=/d02/oracle/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/fnd/12.0.0

c. Run JDKtest.jsp script from browser

Visit http://[web server]:[port]/OA_HTML/JDKtest.jsp Results should be something like The JDK version is: 1.6.0_15

d. Check JDK version and CLASSPATH

Open the $APPL_TOP/admin/adovars.env file and ensure that the environment variables below are defined. ADJVAPRG=/d02/oracle/VIS/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/jre/bin/java

export ADJVAPRG
