Oracle Application Server 10g Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.1.2.0.0 to 10.1.2.3.0
Linux x86-64
What is being announced?
This document provides supplemental instructions and requirements for installing Oracle Application Server
10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) on the Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 5.x or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.x
operating systems. It is necessary to then apply Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2, Patch Set 3
(10.1.2.3), to comply with certification provided from the following location:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) Certification Information
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/as_certification_r2_101202.html]
Oracle has tested this combination and provides this document to list additional requirements, complementing
the Linux Installation Guide and Release Notes:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) Release Notes and Installation Guides
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/getstart.htm]
22
23. SwiftConfigurator – Installation Manual
Important:
•
As per the footnotes within Table 1 of the OTN Certification Guide, the following installation
types for the Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure are not supported on OEL 5.x or
RHEL 5.x:
- Identity Management and Metadata Repository (co-located Infrastructure)
- Metadata Repository (non-colocated with a 10.1 DB)
This is because the Oracle Database Server 10g release 1 (10.1) is not certified on these
platforms. If requiring these Infrastructure installation types with an Oracle Database, the
recommendation is to install Oracle Database Server 10g Release 2 (10.2). After this the
Metadata Repository Creation Assistant (MRCA) version 10.1.2.0.3 can be run, followed by
an Identity Management installation type. (Alternatively, the MRCA 10.1.4.0.1 and Identity
Management 10.1.4.0.1 may be installed for the non-colocated Infrastructure with Oracle
Database 10.2). Therefore, when using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
media, only the middle-tier and Identity Management installation types are
certified/supported.
•
In addition to initial installation requirements, the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2,
Patch Set 3 (10.1.2.3) is required to be fully certified on OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x.
•
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.0.0 or 10.1.2.0.1 versions are not supported
with Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 5.0 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.0. It is
recommended that version 10.1.2.0.2 be obtained and installed.
Note 433061.1 How to Obtain Application Server Media, Patchsets, and Patches
What do you need to do?
Follow Operating System Requirements for OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x
1. The following packages (or later versions) must be installed on your Linux x86 or Linux x86-64 system:
binutils-2.16.91.0.5-23.4
gcc-4.1.0-28.4
gcc-c++-4.1.0-28.4
glibc-devel-2.4-31.2
libgcc-4.1.0-28.4
libstdc++-devel-4.1.0-28.4
libstdc++-4.1.0-28.4
make-3.80-202.2
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm
[http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/Enterprise_Linux/openmotif21-2.1.3011.EL5.i386.rpm]
xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm

24. SwiftConfigurator – Installation Manual
[http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/Enterprise_Linux/xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.21.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm]
2. Ensure that libXp has been installed. The package libXp was not installed in RHEL 5/OEL 5 with default
RPM packages, so it will need to be installed manually. In RHEL 4 this file was provided by the package
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs which is installed with default package installation but this is not the case for
RHEL5/OEL5 and is now provided with a different rpm, the libXp rpm. Install the package libXp by the
command:
# rpm -ivh </path/to/>libXp.<version>.i386.rpm
Note: libXp.so.6 can be found by installing the package /Server/libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.i386.rpm under Disk3 of
the OEL5 media.
Issue the following to confirm:
% rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})n" | grep libXp
[ Reference Note 443617.1 ]
3. When installing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) within the OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x
operating systems, you will need to create the following symbolic link as root prior to doing any installations:
# ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
If an error occurs stating that libdb.so.2 already exists, it may be from a previous 10.1.3 installation. In this
case, either move the file for backup and create the symbolic link or skip this step to see if the following
problem occurs.
•
Without this symbolic link, httpd will give the following error:
httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
With this link in place, httpd should start up successfully in OEL 5.0 or RHEL 5.0
4. The installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) requires the correct openmotif
package to be installed on your OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x box. Without the correct package, you will run into
installation errors for those components that require openmotif (such as reports and forms). You may
download the RPM package from the following location:
[http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/Enterprise_Linux/openmotif21-2.1.3011.EL5.i386.rpm]
24
25. SwiftConfigurator – Installation Manual
As root, you can install this RPM package by issuing the following command:
# rpm -i openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm
5. Any installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) on OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x in which
Reports is getting installed will fail with reports relinking errors unless you apply the required RPM listed
below.You may download the RPM package from the following location:
[http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/Enterprise_Linux/xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.21.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm]
As root, you can install this RPM package by issuing the following command
# rpm -i xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm
After the RPM, is installed, you will also need to override the /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 with the one from
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6. As root, issue the commands:
# mv /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.ORG
# ln –s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
Note:
On future OEL 5.x and RHEL 5.x versions, these packages may be cumulative to newer packages.
Consult operating system vendor documentation for details.
Follow Installation Requirements for OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x
1. Before installing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) , apply Patch 6687768 in order
to start the installer. If you do not apply this patch, pre-req check for the OS Version will fail when
you invoke the runInstaller.
2. Follow all other instructions from the Installation Guide and Release Notes. This Metalink Note is
only for specific OEL 5.x and RHEL 5.x requirements.

Known Issues
1. When performing any Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) installation, a pop-up error
message box may appear indicating “opmn not started”. The error message box appears just before the
root.sh phase of the install. From the command line, issue the command “opmnctl status” and it should
show that opmn is up and running. Hence, you can ignore this pop-up error message and continue with
the installation.
2. Apply Patch 6690831 if you are performing an Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
installation which includes Discoverer. Without this fix, the installation will fail during the OPMN
Configuration Assistant phase because it cannot start up the Discoverer processes. The Discoverer
processes fail to start because there is an LD_ASSUME_KERNEL setting that needs to be removed in
opmn.xml for Discoverer. The issue can be fixed following the below steps:
