1 Introduction

This document covers installation of VMware, import Oracle Applications R12, start/stop
Oracle Applications R12 and SOA/AIA

Steps mentioned in 1-5 are one time setup task. Step 6 “Start Applications R12”
should be done each time you start virtual machine.

AIA & SOA start/stop is optional component and if you don’t want to use SOA/AIA
then there is no need to start SOA/AIA services.

2 Content in External Hard Drive

Plug-in external Hard Disk (USD Disk) to your computer and access it

Start Menu -> My Computer -> FreeAgent Drive

Right Click on FreeAgent Drive and click on explore

Folder R12_Vmware contains – Virtual Disk which contains R12 images on Linux
Folder vmware contains – Vmware server software and license key for vmware server

http://focusthread.com/training 5
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

3 Install VMWare server on your windows machine

If VMWare Server is already running on your machine then skip this step and go to
step 4 import virtual machine “focusthreadr12.com”

(Installation of VMware is simple and similar to any other software installation on

windows machine)

1. Open directory vmware and double click on VMware-server-2.0.0-122956.exe

2. Click on Run

Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

4 Create virtual machine focusthreadr12.com

4.1 Change location of Disk in vmx (VMware configuration) file

If your external hard disk drive name on your system is K then skip this step and go to
next step

(Disk Name in below drive is F )

Open file focusthreadr12.com.vmx file using Notepad and change location of vmdk
file from K drive to drive in your case

http://focusthread.com/training 13
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

http://focusthread.com/training 15
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

In this example our external hard drive name is H so changing value in configuration
file (focusthreadr12.com.vmx) from K to H (Change this value to D , E or F
depending drive name at your system)

Save vmx file after changing scsci0:0.filename location

4.2 Import Virtual Machine focusthreadr12.com

4.2.1 Login to VMware Console

Start VMware Server Console by

Clicking on image like on Desktop

Or by typing URL on browser (IE or Mozilla)

https://localhost:8333/ui

When prompted for username/password, enter your windows administrator username and
password (administrator/<password of your windows>)

http://focusthread.com/training 17
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

Here administrator is user on local machine with admin privileges (You can use other
user as well)

4.2.2 Add Datastore

Click on “Add Datastore” on right side under commands

http://focusthread.com/training 18

Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

H is drive where external hard disk is attached and r12_vmware is directory under
this.

Change H drive in directory path to Drive Name as per your external Harddisk Drive

13.1.2 Fix 2: Check status of OC4J

(Bounce of OC4J using OPMN should fix issue, if not then check Java Cache Logs
and other things given below)

• Check application.log

http://focusthread.com/training 66
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

If you see error message in logs then restart OC4J’s using adopmnctl.sh script

Try again accessing application from client, if you still can’t login then go to next
step

• Check Java Cache log

http://focusthread.com/training 67
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

Entry like above means java cache is working fine

If you see last entry as javacache shutdown then contact Focus Thread Team and ask
them to run AutoConfig on system

If you are unable to ping focusthreadr12.com from your windows machine then one
reason could be that there is no gateway from windows machine to connect to Linux

14 Appendix

14.1 Change Network Adapter from Bridged to NAT

Change in network adapter from Bridged to NAT is required only if you can’t
connect from your Windows machine to Linux machine because of missing Gateway

(Ignore this step if you can connect from Windows machine to Linux machine using
putty)

1. Login to your Vmware console and shutdown machine “focusthreadr12.com” (if

already running)
2. Select “focusthreadr12.com” on left and then click on arrow sign under “Network
Adapter 1” and select “Edit”

http://focusthread.com/training 99
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

3. In next screen from drop down menu select “NAT” and click OK

4. Start virtual machine “focusthreadr12.com”

http://focusthread.com/training 100
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

5. Access console

6. Type “netconfig” on command prompt in Linux machine

http://focusthread.com/training 101
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

7. Restart Network card by typing “service network restart” on Linux machine

Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

8. Run “ifconfig” on Linux machine to find new IP address of Linux machine. In

this example new IP is 192.168.106.128 (This could defer in your case so change
this value as per your Linux new IP)

9. Open /etc/hosts file on Linux and change line from

192.168.1.12 focusthreadr12.com focusthreadr12

to

<your_new_ip> focusthreadr12.com focusthreadr12

http://focusthread.com/training 103
Oracle R12, SOA & AIA on VMware http://focusthread.com/training

10. In C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file on windows change entry to

192.168.106.128 focusthreadr12.com focusthread

(Change 192.168.106.128 as per your Linux new IP address)

11. Start Database and Application as given in Section 6 Start Applications R12 s
