See: Appendix A: Downloading, Reconstructing, and Staging the Downloaded Appliance. Deployment Options Once you unzip the downloaded files and concatenate them to create the Oracle VM virtual appliance, you can have the following deployment options:
See: Section 2: Deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite VM Virtual Appliance on Oracle VM Server.
See: Section 3: Deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite VM Virtual Appliance on Oracle VM VirtualBox. Section 2: Deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite VM Virtual Appliance on Oracle VM ServerThis section contains the following topics:
Section 2.1: Preparing to DeployThis section explains how to deploy the Oracle VM virtual appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8 on the Oracle VM Manager. It includes the following topics:
Section 2.1.1: Understanding Oracle VM and the Oracle E-Business Suite DeploymentAn Oracle VM provides a fully equipped virtualization platform. An Oracle VM virtual appliance enables you to deploy operating systems and application software such as Oracle E-Business Suite within an Oracle supported virtualization environment.An Oracle VM virtual appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite facilitates rapid deployment of ready-to-run Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Linux virtual machine for demonstration. The appliance delivers the full software stack, including the operating system, required technology components, and Oracle E-Business Suite itself. Furthermore, the appliance consists of a configuration file and one or more disk images. The disk images contain the operating system and software application upon which the appliance has been built.Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 deployment is on a single node by utilizing the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 Single Node Vision appliance. Before deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite appliance, you must install Oracle VM Server and Oracle VM Manager. See Section 1.4: Reviewing the Oracle VM Setup. We recommend you install the latest version of the Oracle VM server and VM manager. The deployment requires users with the following roles:
The Oracle VM Administrator is responsible for management of the Oracle VM server pool and user accounts, including the user accounts for the Oracle E-Business Suite domain and installation administration. The Oracle VM Administrator is authorized to create virtual machines and assign hardware resources to a virtual machine. The Oracle VM administrator should have root access on the Oracle VM Server machine.
The users managing the Oracle E-Business Suite environment should be familiar with Oracle E-Business Suite software administration. The users can be local to the virtual machine or domain users. These users only have access to the resources assigned by the Oracle VM Administrator. While these are listed as separate roles, both sets of skills are needed to complete the deployment process in very close coordination. Section 2.1.2: Planning the Oracle E-Business Suite Appliance DeploymentDeployment ArchitectureThe following diagram shows the Oracle VM architecture with deployed Oracle E-Business Suite appliances. In this example, both Oracle E-Business Suite appliances are deployed in a single server pool on a single Oracle VM server, but other server pool configurations are possible. A server pool is an autonomous region that contains one or more Oracle VM Servers. Sample Oracle VM Architecture with Deployed Oracle E-Business Suite AppliancesThe components represented in the above diagram are described below:
The Oracle VM Manager is a web application that provides the user interface to manage Oracle VM Server, virtual machines, and resources.
The Oracle VM Server is a self-contained virtualization environment designed to provide a lightweight, secure, server-based platform to run virtual machines. Oracle VM Server is based on an updated version of the underlying Xen hypervisor technology, and includes Oracle VM Agent.
The Oracle VM Agent is installed with Oracle VM Server. It communicates with Oracle VM Manager to manage virtual machines.
This is an abbreviation for domain zero, which is the management domain with privileged access.
Each domU (dom1, dom2) is an unprivileged Oracle VM domain with no direct access to the hardware or device drivers. Each domU is started by Oracle VM Server (which itself is in dom0). In this example, each domain holds a single Oracle E-Business Suite virtual machine.Before deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite appliances, you need to decide upon the deployment architecture. Instead of deploying the database tier appliance and the application tier appliance in a single server and pool as described in the above example, you can choose to place the database appliance on one server (and server pool) and the application tier appliance on another. Or, you can distribute the appliances to create virtual machines on different physical servers, and place them in the same server pool. For guidance on designing your system, refer to the Managing Server Pools chapter, Oracle VM User’s Guide available in the Oracle VM Server and Oracle VM Manager Documentation Library. Please note that it is possible to combine a deployed Oracle E-Business Suite appliance with a conventional installation. For example, you can deploy an application tier appliance and connect it to a traditional, non-virtual database instance. The environment set up by the deployment of the Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle VM virtual appliances can be used as a starting point that can subsequently be enhanced and tuned to fit the requirements of the target system. For more information, refer to Section 11: Managing the Virtual Environment Life Cycle. Sizing Requirements When planning the deployment, consider the following minimum hardware requirements shown in the table below:
Note: This is the minimum required configuration for the initial installation. The memory, disk, and CPU allocation can be increased using the Oracle VM Manager interface for patching and large scale hosting. See: Appendix C: Prerequisites for Applying Oracle E-Business Suite Patches.
You also need to reserve disk space for downloading and staging the appliance. You can stage the appliance on a file or web server, and use Oracle Virtual Machine Manager to import the appliance.For more information on Oracle E-Business Suite release 12.2 sizing, refer to the Database and Application Tier Sizing Guidelines section, Getting Started chapter, Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install. For more information on tuning the system for better performance, refer to Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 396009.1. For information on downloading the appliance, refer to Appendix A: Downloading, Reconstructing, and Staging the Downloaded Appliance. For information on importing the appliance, refer to Section 2.2: Importing the Oracle E-Business Suite Appliance. Additional Requirements
Refer to the Oracle VM documentation for information on downloading a plug-in, or use a VNC client of your own choosing. Refer to Starting a virtual machine and connecting to the console, Oracle VM Manager Getting Started Guide (or Connecting to a Virtual Machine, Oracle VM User's Guide) available in the Oracle VM Server and Oracle VM Manager Documentation Library.
Section 2.1.3: Reviewing the Oracle VM SetupThe Oracle VM Administrator must have completed the following tasks before you begin the Oracle VM for Oracle E-Business Suite appliance deployment:
Refer to the Oracle VM Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Refer to the Oracle VM Manager Getting Started Guide (or the Oracle VM User's Guide).
Refer to the Oracle VM Manager Getting Started Guide (or the Oracle VM User's Guide).
Section 2.2: Importing the Oracle E-Business Suite Appliance Using Oracle VM ManagerThere are several methods of importing virtual machine appliances. This section guides you through one such method. Refer to the Importing a Virtual Machine Template section, Oracle VM Manager Getting Started Guide (or the Oracle VM User's Guide) for more information.Perform the following tasks to import the appliance directly into the Oracle VM Manager repository:
After successfully importing the virtual appliance Oracle E-Business-Suite-12.2.8_VISION_INSTALL.ova to the repository, you can perform the following steps to create the virtual machine for Oracle E-Business Suite:
Section 2.4: Starting the Oracle E-Business Suite Virtual MachineLog in to the virtual machine via the administration console to verify that it was successfully created and is accessible. At the end of the first VM boot, you will get a console screen. Log in as the root user and follow the configuration prompts.
Note: The virtual machines use a fully virtualized installation. This virtual machine is configured with a virtual host name apps.example.com. The virtual machine by default use dynamic host configuration protocol for the network. The VM on boot will automatically capture an IP address from the DHCP server available on your network and assign it to the VM. This is the default configuration. If there is no DHCP server available on your network, you will be prompted to enter a static IP address for your VM. If you bypass this screen, run the script (configstatic.sh) provided in the /u01/install/scripts directory.
Starting the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 Vision Demo Virtual MachineBe aware that if you supply incorrect network information in response to these prompts, the virtual machine will not function and you will need to either re-create the virtual machine or perform a machine configuration cleanup. Starting a virtual machine is analogous to starting a computer by pressing the Power On button. Ensure that the virtual machine is powered off before you start it.
Note: Ensure that the database server is running before starting the Oracle E-Business Suite application processes in the virtual machine.
Perform the following tasks to start and initialize the Oracle E-Business Suite database virtual machine:
Section 3: Deploying the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8 VM Virtual Appliance on Oracle VM VirtualBoxThis section contains the following topics:
Section 3.1: Reviewing Hardware RequirementsThis section describes the hardware requirements for deploying the Oracle VM VirtualBox appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite. Keep in mind that individual performance varies depending upon the specific hardware, CPU speed, disk type and speed, and disk fragmentation in your configuration.
Note: This documentation uses "virtual appliance" or "image" to refer to the archive that is imported into the VirtualBox Manager. The term "virtual machine (VM)" is used in this documentation to refer to the environment that the VirtualBox creates from the virtual appliance.
The requirements listed below apply to the machine used to host the Oracle VM VirtualBox appliance used with Oracle E-Business Suite.
You need a physical host computer to install VirtualBox and deploy the Oracle E-Business Suite. Refer to Chapter 1 First Steps, Oracle VM VirtualBox User Manual for more information on the host computer requirements.
The host operating system must be one that is supported to run VirtualBox. Refer to Chapter 1 First Steps, Oracle VM VirtualBox User Manual for more information on the host operating system requirements.
The processor must be a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization capabilities. These features must be enabled in the BIOS before the machine is booted. The host computer on which the Oracle E-Business Suite VirtualBox appliance will run must have a 64-bit processor that can support hardware virtualization.
The minimum hardware requirements for hosting the Oracle E-Business Suite VirtualBox appliance are:
The default installation of the Oracle E-Business Suite VirtualBox appliance is configured for "Bridged" network configuration. You can change the default setting to other networking types from the VirtualBox machine manager. For example, you can change that to a "Host-Only" network adapter configuration for your home network before the first boot if you wish. Section 3.2: Reviewing Software RequirementsBefore deploying the Oracle VM VirtualBox appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite, you must install Oracle VM VirtualBox.For deploying Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 Vision Demo Virtual Machine, you must be on Oracle VM VirtualBox version 5.2.18 or higher. It is recommended that you download the latest version of VirtualBox from Oracle Technology Network. Section 3.3: Making the VirtualBox Appliance Accessible to the Host ComputerThe VirtualBox appliance image file needs to be accessible on the host computer that runs the Oracle VirtualBox VM Manager. It can be hosted on a shared network drive or physically copied to the local disk of the machine running the VirtualBox Manager.Section 3.4: Importing the VirtualBox Appliance Using Oracle VM VirtualBox ManagerPerform the following tasks to import the VirtualBox appliance:
After the process completes successfully, the imported virtual machine is listed in the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager.Once you have imported the VirtualBox appliance, you may optionally remove the OVA (virtual appliance archive) file if you are not planning to create more virtual machines. Section 3.5: Configuring the Virtual MachineAfter the import and before the first boot, you have the opportunity to adjust the number of CPUs and the amount of RAM that the VM will have. To configure the VM, select the imported virtual machine and click the Settings icon from the toolbar.Note that the configuration of the network settings depends on the number of CPUs and the size of the RAM you have. For example, you can get by with one CPU and 14 GB of RAM, but the system performs better if you have two to four CPUs and 14 GB to 16 GB in size of RAM to spare. The OS in the VM would be able to get an IP address and network settings from DHCP. If it can, the setup will be simpler. If DHCP is not available, the VM prompts you for static IPv4 information.
Before starting the VM, you can optionally create a snapshot of the imported VM disk. This allows all changes to the disk to be written to a separate disk file containing deltas. In case unexpected situations occur, you can return to the just-imported state without importing it again. To make a snapshot, select the imported VM from the list and then click the Snapshots icon in the toolbar. Select the Current State line and then click the snapshot camera icon. In the pop-up dialog, save the snapshot, such as "Just Imported". For information about snapshots, see the Oracle VM VirtualBox User Manual. To start the VM, select the imported virtual machine from the list, and then click the Start button in the toolbar. Section 4: Using the Virtual Machine for the First BootThis section describes the first boot and some initial configuration of user passwords for both Oracle VM and VirtualBox hosted VMs. It includes the following sections:Section 4.1: Starting the First BootAs the VM boots, you will see a red progress bar at the bottom of the screen. Press the ESC key to see the detailed boot progress. At the end of the boot process, the output will pause for about 10 seconds displaying the IP address and host name information before ending with a login prompt.
Section 4.2: Configuring the Application Before the First UseUse the following steps to start the application and database processes:
[root@apps tmp]# service ebsdb start[oracle@apps ~]$ cd ~/log
Note: In this deployment of the Oracle VM virtual appliance, the required setup tasks for enabling Oracle E-Business Suite REST services provided through Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway are already preconfigured. This means that Oracle E-Business Suite integration interface definitions published in Oracle Integration Repository, a component in Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway, are available for REST service deployment.
Note: Interface types enabled for REST services in this VM virtual appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8 are PL/SQL APIs, Java Bean Services, Application Module Services, Concurrent Programs, and Open Interface Tables and Views.
For more information on enabling the ASADMIN user and configuring Oracle E-Business Suite REST services, see Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway, Release 12.2, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1311068.1.For information on deploying Oracle E-Business Suite REST services, see Administering REST Web Services, Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway Implementation Guide. For information abut the supported interfaces for REST services, see the Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway User's Guide. For information on REST service invocations, see the Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway Developer's Guide. You can try to access the web server from the command line: [oracle@apps ~]$ curl http://apps.example.com:8000/robots.txtSection 5: Accessing the Oracle E-Business Suite Home PageOnce you configured the Oracle E-Business Suite system after the first boot, theIf no further configuration, you can access the Oracle E-Business Suite
Note: To provide secured network connections, it is recommended that you enable TLS in Oracle E-Business Suite. See Enabling TLS in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2, My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 1367293.1 for required setup and configuration details.
There are two ways to overcome this:
This option is to edit the /etc/hosts file by adding a line in the /etc/hosts file of the host that runs your browser.
This option is to modify the Oracle E-Business Suite web server's idea of where its web entry point is. That way the system will redirect to that host name, irrespective of the host name that the web server thinks it is running on. [oracle@apps ~]$ host 192.0.2.27[oracle@apps ~]$ . /u01/install/APPS/EBSapps.env runEnter the Web Entry Protocol (Eg: https/http): httpSection 6: Accessing the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration ConsoleEarlier you have performed needed tasks of changing the password for Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) administrator userweblogic. You can now access the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console through Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel.
Note: You cannot access the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console directly from your local workstation. The WLS connection filters established for WLS servers in$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/config/config.xml only allow http access to port :7001 from apps.example.com itself. The SSH tunnel ensures that your http connection to the WLS Administration server is encrypted.
Section 7: Available Directories and Scripts for Use in the Virtual Machine
Note: The oracle user owns the database and application file systems for the single node Vision appliance.
The database file system in the virtual machine includes the following directories owned by the oracle user:
The scripts to manage the Oracle E-Business Suite single node Vision installation are:
The scripts to reconfigure the network for the virtual machine are:
Section 8: Configuring Oracle E-Business SuiteTo configure your Vision demo instance further, refer to the post-installation steps in the Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install.Verify that the installation completed successfully using your usual testing procedures. Section 9: Security UpdatesThe Oracle VM infrastructure including the virtual machines must be kept up to date with the critical patch updates released by Oracle. Check the Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin page and Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page for information on the latest security fixes.Refer to Unbreakable Linux Network (support subscription required) or Oracle Public Yum Server for information on security updates to Oracle Linux and Oracle VM software. Please note that the VM ships configured for public-yum. If you wish to use the Unbreakable Linux Network instead, change the update source. Use the yum utility to apply the updates. Refer to My Oracle Support (support subscription required) to obtain the updates to Oracle E-Business Suite and the included technology stack. Additionally, refer to the Oracle E-Business Suite Security Guide for security related setup and configuration in Oracle E-Business Suite. Section 10: TroubleshootingThe following table lists resources to help you diagnose any issues encountered while deploying Oracle VM for the Oracle E-Business Suite appliance:
Section 11: Managing the Virtual Environment Life CycleAfter you create and initialize your Oracle E-Business Suite virtual machine deployment, you may choose to customize it and save the customized environment as a template if it is on Oracle VM Manager to share within your company. This means that you don’t need to repeat the same customization steps each time you create a virtual machine. Instead, it is possible to install software into a virtual machine or add specific configuration preferences and then save the virtual machine as a new template in Oracle VM Manager. This new template in Oracle VM Manager can be used to create any number of virtual machines.Perform the following steps to create a template from a customized environment:
Refer to Section 11.1: Using the Oracle E-Business Suite Configuration Script for more information.
Refer to Section 11.2: Resetting Your Oracle E-Business Suite Virtual Machine for more information.
Refer to Section 11.3: Saving Your Virtual Machine as a Template for more information. Section 11.1: Using the Oracle E-Business Suite Configuration ScriptYou can extend the template in Oracle VM Manager with your customizations by adding configuration steps to the delivered configuration script, configdhcp.sh. This script is in the directory /u01/install/scripts.When the template is being initialized, the first boot configuration calls the functions and external scripts defined in the master script configdhcp.sh. After you have modified the script configdhcp.sh to include the customization, it is necessary to reset the template if it is in Oracle VM Manager through a cleanup script. For information on resetting the template, see Section 11.2: Resetting Your Oracle E-Business Suite Virtual Machine. Section 11.2: Resetting Your Oracle E-Business Suite Virtual MachineIt is possible to reset your virtual machine such that the next time it is started, it will appear as a clean, newly started VM in the Oracle VM VirtualBox or template in Oracle VM Manager. This is achieved by using the following commands, in the order given:/usr/sbin/oraclevm-template --cleanupUse these commands when you have customized a virtual machine and want to save it as a template in Oracle VM Manager. Once you have decided that you want to save a particular virtual machine as a template, connect to the virtual machine using the VNC client, execute the two commands above, shut it down using Oracle VM Manager, and then finish by saving it as a template.
Note: Exercise caution when executing this cleanup.sh script. It will wipe out all critical configuration of the VM.
The /usr/sbin/oraclevm-template --cleanup option resets the network stack on the virtual machine and as a result it may hang. If this happens, exit your login session and reconnect to the virtual machine. For deployment on Oracle VM Manager, you can reconnect the VM using the VNC client to invoke the /usr/sbin/oraclevm-template –-enable option. Section 11.3: Saving Your Virtual Machine as a Template (Oracle VM Manager Only)The virtual machine that you create from the Oracle E-Business Suite template can be saved as a customized template.There are a few things to keep in mind when saving a virtual machine as a template.
If you do so, you must make sure that the software that you have installed is virtualization safe. The installed components must be host neutral, and they are not bound to the IP address or host name through any configuration files, database entries, and so on. This way they will be able to run without any problems in new virtual machines that have different host names or IP addresses.

Appendix A: Downloading, Reconstructing, and Staging the Downloaded ApplianceThe instructions in this section guide you through the process of downloading and reconstructing the downloaded Oracle E-Business Suite appliance from the zip files.
Section A.1: Downloading the Oracle E-Business Suite Appliance from Oracle Software Delivery CloudThe Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 VM Virtual Appliance is delivered in a single media pack, "Oracle VM Virtual Appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 Media Pack for x86 (64-bit)". This media pack contains a series of downloadable components or packages. Each component package contains one or more zip files which contain partial appliance files (0 through n) that make up the single node Vision appliance.
Note: The disk space required to download and reconstruct the required OVA file is two or three times of the download size. However, the runtime disk space, the download, and the assembly disk space need not be on the same disk.
For the single node Vision appliance, you will need the following 9 component packages in addition to the README First Document:
The Selected Software region displays the selected "Oracle VM Virtual Appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8" media pack and the platform information. Section A.2: Reconstructing and Staging the Downloaded ApplianceFollow the instructions described in this section to extract the appliance from the downloaded zip files. Note that a script is provided in this document for this purpose.
Note: Use the script provided in this document to automate the appliance extraction process when the Vision demo packages are downloaded into the desired directory.
You can use either one of two methods to unzip these files and concatenate them to create the Oracle VM virtual appliance that can be imported into Oracle VM Manager or Oracle VM VirtualBox. Method 1: Script-Based MethodWe provide two different scripts, assemble.sh (UNIX) and assemble_OSX.sh (Mac).
Disclaimer: These scripts are provided for convenience only, and may not have been tested on your operating system version. If you encounter difficulty, use the manual method described in Method 2 instead.
Note: Unzipping and assembling using the script in this method requires 200 GB (about 3 times the OVA size) free space in the download directory. That is 65 GB for downloaded zip files, 65 GB for unzipped OVA parts, and 65 GB for the final OVA file.
Perform the following steps to extract and assemble the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.8 VM virtual appliance by using a script:
Refer to the README.txt inside the assemble directory for more details. Method 2: Manual MethodFirst unzip the files that you downloaded earlier, and then concatenate the files in sequence to create the output appliance file.For instance, execute the following commands in the directory where the zip files are present:
Note: If you follow the procedure listed below, you will need to have 130 GB (2 * 65) free space in the file system in addition to the 65 GB used by the downloaded zip files.
If you do have sufficient space but it is in, for example, three different file systems, you can have the zip files on one file system, the unzipped files on another file system, and the final, combined OVA file on the other file system. Just change the unzip and cat commands accordingly.for i in *.zip
Note: If you have constraints on disk space, you may delete the downloaded zip files before creating the final, combined OVA file.
cat Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.8_VISION_INSTALL.ova.00 \> Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.8_VISION_INSTALL.ova
Appendix B: Procedure to Change the Host Name of the Virtual MachineChanging the logical host name of the virtual machine is not mandatory for accessing Oracle E-Business Suite applications. Our recommendation is to continue using the logical or virtual name as set when you install and front end the virtual machine with the virtual machine's public host name or any other device, such as a reverse proxy or a load-balancer, for access from external clients. Administrators can use the configwebentry.sh script shipped in the /u01/install/scripts directory for this purpose.Please note that the instructions described in this section have been validated on the single node Vision instance virtual machine. Perform the following steps to change the host name of the virtual machine:
[oracle@apps ~]$ . /u01/install/APPS/EBSapps.env run[oracle@apps ~]$ $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adadminsrvctl.sh start[oracle@apps ~]$ $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adpreclone.pl appsTier[oracle@apps ~]$ . /u01/install/APPS/EBSapps.env patch[oracle@apps ~]$ $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adadminsrvctl.sh start forcepatchfs[oracle@apps ~]$ $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adpreclone.pl appsTier[oracle@apps ~]$ /u01/install/APPS/scripts/stopapps.sh[oracle@apps ~]$ /u01/install/APPS/scripts/stopdb.sh[root@apps ~]# /u01/install/scripts/configstatic.sh[root@apps ~]# chkconfig apps off[root@apps ~]# /u01/install/APPS/scripts/dbconfig.shdbconfig.sh script completes, the database is left running with its new SID, such as "VIS1228", in this example.[root@apps ~]# /u01/install/APPS/scripts/appsconfig.sh[oracle@apps ~]$ . /u01/install/APPS/EBSapps.env run[oracle@apps ~]$ adop phase=fs_clone force=yes[oracle@apps ~]$ /u01/install/APPS/12.1.0/oui/bin/attachHome.shAppendix C: Prerequisites for Applying Oracle E-Business Suite PatchesBefore executing the adop actions including applying patches on the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.8 Vision virtual appliance environment, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
