Lessons learnt from fresh ebs r12.2 installation on Oracle Linux 7



1. Preinstaller rpms are great and your files are backed up under /var/log/oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall/backup
sysctl.conf
resolv.conf
grub.cfg

2. orakernel.log often ignored should be reviewed after installing both rpms
oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall
oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall

3. applmgr and oracle have oinstall as common primary OS group. applmgr does not have dba as secondary group.

4. Starting from OL7, user limits are not stored in /etc/security/limits.conf. There will be .conf files created under /etc/security/limits.d 
that are read by systemd during server startup 

5. resolve.conf file will be overridden if you have DNS1/2 directives in your network configuration files -
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
You can make resolv.conf immutable to changes or remove directives DNS1/2 in your network configuration files.

Compile all JSP files in Oracle ebs r12.2

Before you start compiling jsps and following below steps, I recommend understanding some key differences between 11i, r12.1 and r12.2 when it comes to compiling jsps. Please follow below link and then proceed further - One-stop shop to Compile JSPs in 11i, r12.1 and r12.2 1. Take a backup of _pages directory that will be modified due to jsp compilation - $ cd $EBS_APPS_DEPLOYMENT_DIR/oacore/html/WEB-INF/classes/ $ cp -R _pages _pages29dec2019 $ ls -ld _pages* drwxr-xr-x 5 applmgr oinstall 249856 Dec 29 16:36 _pages drwxr-xr-x 5 applmgr oinstall 249856 Dec 29 16:56 _pages29dec2019 2. Stop apache, oacore and oafm services - adapcctl.sh stop admanagedsrvctl.sh stop oacore_server1 admanagedsrvctl.sh stop oafm_server1 3. Compile the jsps manually using the below command - $ cd $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/ $ perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/ojspCompile.pl --compile --flush -p              4. Check class file last mo...
