There are a few more pkg listed in the R12.1.1  release notes to install

Download the R12.1.1 disks from Oracle E-Delivery

1. Update the Linux kernel witth the required pkg's per note : 761566.1 or use the ULN and follow all the step.

*After installing these patches, run ldconfig -v. if you do it manually.

I updated my OS both ways. I applied all the packages manually & I used the UNL. It was easier to do it manually until I figured out the ULN. I added directions here

It was a breeze using the ULN after I figure it out.

I'm particular about the UID's created for my OS users so I created my users and groups first before updating the OS from ULN.

Once I updated the OS I added the extra patch and library config's from the read me It will remove your changes if you do it before ULN.

2. Download the R12.1.1 installation disks from edelivery

2. Update your startCD RapidWiz with the latest rapidwiz patch to run the install

4. Run md5 check sum

3. Apply OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server 6078836

4. Run Rapidwiz to start the installation. You have to create the /etc/oraInst.loc file manually if it's not already there. The R12 installation no longer creates this.

January 28, 2011

The most current version of the Rapid Install wizard is 12.1.1.11. You can obtain this version by applying <Patch 8639046>

8639046

check your version of Rapidwiz:

$ cd /Stage12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
$ ./RapidWizVersion

Version that came with disks downloaded from edelivery:

Oracle Applications Rapid Install Wizard

Version 12.1.1.9

To use the new startCD, uncompress the pactch in the staging directory and over write the old startCD

use wget to get the patch

download patch 6078836. It's a copy of libXtst.so.6

To apply the patch, backup /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 if it exists, then copy libXtst.so.6 to /usr/lib

# unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

1. Verify that you have a /etc/oraInst.loc file created before starting rapidwiz. Oracle used to supply a script /tmp/root.sh that would create this directory.. By design they no longer supply this script. You have to create the directory yourself. :

cd /etc.

touch oraInst.loc

then update the oraInst.loc with a pointer to where you want the global inventory.

inventory_loc=/u01/oracle/oraInventory

2. Touch a file as oracle and applmgr under each mount point you've created to install the software.

3. Run rapidwiz

cd <R12stage>/startCD/rapidwiz

./rapidwiz
