(l) Enable and run the Autoconfig on the DB Tier for the 11gR1 RAC HOME.
(m) Run the AutoConfig on the APPS Tier to generate the new RAC enabled connect strings.
(n) Take the Complete Backup of the Entire System.
(o) Check whether the enabled services on application nodes are running appropriately.
(p) Login to the application Login Page to see if login to the application is successful.
(q) Open Forms (like Concurrent Manager) to see if forms are opening up successfully.
(r) Verify the Configuration in OAM.
(t) listnener.ora and tnsnames.ora from both the application nodes.

ForwardX11 no
(c) Suppressed the Terminal output on STDOUT and STDERR to prevent Installation errors:
Modified the file ~/.bashrc (or .cshrc for C shell) with below entry.
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
if [ -t 0 ]; then
stty intr ^C
fi
C shell:
test -t 0
if ($status == 0) then

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65500
(f) Repeated this process for the second app node appsnode2.hingu.net.
This step is not required but I would always set up the ssh user equivalency for ease of maintenance.
On All the Apps Nodes:
su - applmgr
mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
Generate the RSA and DSA keys:
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa
On appsnode1:
touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cd ~/.ssh
(a) Add these Keys to the Authorized_keys file.
cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys
(b) Send this file to appsnode2.
scp authorized_keys appsnode2:.ssh/
On appsnode2:
(a) Add these Keys to the Authorized_keys file.
cd ~/.ssh
cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys
(b) Send this file to appsnode1.
scp authorized_keys appsnode1:.ssh/
On both the Apps Nodes:
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh appsnode1 date
ssh appsnode2 date
ssh appsnode1.hingu.net date
ssh appsnode2.hingu.net date
Entered 'yes' and continued when prompted
Download and Stage the R12 Software on one of APPS as well as DB Node:
(1) Downloaded the E-Business Suite software Release 12.1.1 from otn.oracle.com and copied them to the /tmp directory as shown here.
(2) Created the Staging Directory /u01/StageR12 to stage the R12 Software.
(3) Created the script called /u01/StageR12/unzip.sh to unzip the downloaded software to the Stage Directory.
mkdir /u01/StageR12
cd /u01/StageR12

[applmgr@appsnode1 StageR12]$
(4) Ran the unzip.sh script from the Stage directory (/u01/StageR12)
cd /u01/StageR12
./unzip.sh
During the unzipping process, when prompted, the dvd.label and component.label files were replaced. You can choose not to overwrite them as well because the dvd.label is same for all the DVDs belonging to the same category. For e.g, Databases has 9 DVDs and each of these DVDs dvd.label file is same.
cd /u01/StageR12
rm ora*/component.label
rm unzip.sh
After unzipping all the DVDs by running the unzip.sh script, the following directory structure was created.
With this, the pre-Installation steps are completed successfully and are ready to proceed with the Fresh Install of EBS R12 Next.
Install EBS R12 on Database Node using Rapid Install:
The Fresh Installation of R12 Database using Rapid Install cannot be directly installed on RAC HOME. It comes with non-RAC single instance binaries. So, I connected to one of the RAC Nodes (node1.hingu.net) and started the Rapid Install which installed the local non-RAC 11gR1 (11.1.0.7) Database. During the later stage, this database was then converted to RAC.
Using the X Terminal, Invoked the /u01/StageR12/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz.

This patch needs to be applied to use the named listener on the DB tier. Without this patch, the listener name has to be LISTENER and I wanted to use the name LABDB_LISTENER for the application database listener so I decided to apply this patch.
a) Downloaded the patch 8919489.
b) Downloaded the Patch 9583541 (post requirement for the patch 8919489).
c) Stopped the Application on both the nodes.
d) Applied the patch 8919489 using adpatch by following its README on appsnode1
e) Applied the patch 8919489 using adpatch by following its README on appsnode2
f) Ran the AutoConfig again on Admin Node (appsnode1.hingu.net) after applying the patch on appsnode2.
g) Tried to start the Application on appsnode1.hingu.net and it got warning message saying it could not deploy the latest EAR file.
The Forms were manually deployed by following the Metalink note “Deploying a New forms.ear File in Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 397174.1]”. While running the script to deploy the forms, it got errored out with the below error message complaining it could not find the opmnctl executable.

While further debugging, it was found out that the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN variables in $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl were pointing to/nfs/bld/d26/PRDXBLD9/apps/tech_st/10.1.3 instead of /u01/app/oracle/ebsR12/apps/tech_st/10.1.3. These variables were correctly modified and then continued with the Note 397174.1 to deploy the forms.ear and after that, it got deployed successfully.
After that, the Application services were started on both the application nodes using $INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adstrtal.sh and tested logging in to the application and forms and the results were all successful.

The Instance Connectivity from each of the RAC instances was verified using SQLPLUS from RAC nodes individually. I would not run adconfig.pl without having successful connection to each of the RAC instances.
RAC Instance Connections Verification:
The Instance Connectivity from each of the RAC instances was verified using SQLPLUS from RAC nodes individually. The connectivity was confirmed before running the adconfig.pl on each of the RAC instances.
node1:
export ORA_NLS10=/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/nls/data/9idata
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12
export ORACLE_SID=LABDB1

Repeated the above process for all the RAC Instances.
Create the nls/data/9idata Directory (on All the RAC Nodes):
On all the RAC Nodes, ran the /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/nls/data/old/cr9idata.pl script to create the /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/nls/data/9idata directory. Without this directory, the adconfig.sh on DB tier may fail on this.
[oracle@node1 old]$ perl cr9idata.pl

Build XML (on all the RAC Nodes):
Ran the /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/bin/adbldxml.pl to build the XML on each of the RAC Nodes and provided the appropriate values of DB Host Name, Database Port, SID, and Service Name. This will generate the context file <SID>_hostname.xml under /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil.

The context file has been created at:
/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/LABDB1_node1.xml
Once the context file got generated, the below variables were modified (in RED) to their appropriate values.
<!-- host information -->
<oa_host>
<host oa_var="s_hostname">node3</host>
<host oa_var="s_virtual_hostname">node1-vip</host>
<private_address oa_var="s_clusterInterConnects">node1-prv</private_address>
<domain oa_var="s_domainname">hingu.net</domain>
Similar way, the XML file was generated on node2 and node3 by providing their node specific values.
Run autoconfig on all the RAC nodes one by one:
Ran the Autoconfig on all the RAC nodes separately using the script /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/bin/adconfig.sh.
export ORA_NLS10=/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/nls/data/9idata
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12
export ORACLE_SID=LABDB2
export TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/network/admin/LABDB2_node2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/lib:/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/ctx/lib
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:.
cd /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/bin
./adconfig.sh
The AutoConfig was again ran on all the RAC Nodes using below command in the reverse order so that all the nodes’ tnsnames.ora file contains the same information.
/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/scripts/LABDB3_node3/adautocfg.sh ß for node3
/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/scripts/LABDB2_node2/adautocfg.sh ß for node2
/u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/appsutil/scripts/LABDB1_node1/adautocfg.sh ß for node1
Modify the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/<SID>_APPS_BASE.ora on all the RAC Nodes:
The <SID>_APPS_BASE.ora file under the /u01/app/oracle/EBSR12/dbs contains the wrong values for the control_files parameter. So, this file was modified on all the RAC nodes with the correct value of control_files parameter.
control_files = '+DATA/labdb/controlfile/current.267.765911037','+FRA/labdb/controlfile/current.263.765911059'
At this stage, the FND Nodes contained the RAC nodes information in the application database.
Run the AutoConfig on the Application nodes.
After enabling and running the AutoConfig successfully on the DB tier RAC nodes, it is required to run the autoconfig on all the Application nodes so that they can generate the new RAC specific TNS and jdbc_url entry. I followed the below steps to accomplish this requirement.
· Modify $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file and jdbc_url in the CONTEXT_FILE.
· Check the connection to the database after the above modification.
· Run the AutoConfig
· Repeat the above 3 steps on remaining application node appsnode2.
· At last, run the AutoConfig on the Admin Node (appsnode1).
Modify the tnanames.ora and jdbc_url:
The CONNECT_DATA entry in the $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file was modified to have SERVICE_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME value for all the TNS Alias belonging to Database instance. (On both the Application Nodes appsnode1 and appsnode2)
LABDB=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node1.hingu.net)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=LABDB)
(INSTANCE_NAME=LABDB1)
)
LABDB_BALANCE=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)
(FAILOVER=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node1.hingu.net)(PORT=1522))
)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=LABDB)
)
)
Jdbc_url value in the below context file was modified with the same above information as shown on both the application nodes appsnode1 and appsnode2.
appsnode1:/u01/app/oracle/ebsR12/inst/apps/LABDB_appsnode1/appl/admin/LABDB_appsnode1.xml
appsnode2:/u01/app/oracle/ebsR12/inst/apps/LABDB_appsnode2/appl/admin/LABDB_appsnode2.xml
<jdbc_url oa_var="s_apps_jdbc_connect_descriptor">jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(FAILOVER=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node1.hingu.net)(PORT=1522)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=LABDB)(INSTANCE_NAME=LABDB1)))</jdbc_url>
Run the AutoConfig on appsnode1:
$AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.sh contextfile=/u01/app/oracle/ebsR12/inst/apps/LABDB_appsnode1/appl/admin/LABDB_appsnode1.xml
After successful completion of autoconfig and re-sourcing the environment, the $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file was containing the tns aliases for all the RAC instances individually and also had a BALANCE entry containing all the DB VIPs as shown below:
LABDB_BALANCE=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)
(FAILOVER=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node2-vip.hingu.net)(PORT=1522))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node1-vip.hingu.net)(PORT=1522))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node3-vip.hingu.net)(PORT=1522))
)
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=LABDB)
)
)
The new jdbc_url in the CONTEXT_FILE on appsnode1 was reflecting all the 3 VIPs of database RAC nodes at this stage.
Run the Autoconfig on appsnode2:
Same way, I ran the autoconfig on the appsnode2 using below command.
$AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.sh contextfile=/u01/app/oracle/ebsR12/inst/apps/LABDB_appsnode2/appl/admin/LABDB_appsnode2.xml
Re-Run the AutoConfig on appsnode2 and appsnode1:
I re-ran the autoconfig on the both the application nodes using below command before started the applications.
$INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adautocfg.sh
Tested the login page and verified the Nodes information in the OAM as well as database.
FND Nodes Configuration:
At this stage, the configuration has 5 nodes total, 3 are DB nodes and 2 are application nodes.
Start the Applications on both the Application Nodes
Started the Application on appsnode1.hingu.net and appsnode2.hingu.net
$INST_TOP/admin/scripts/adstrtal.sh
Here is the Screenshots of Running the AutoConfig on all RAC nodes as well as on Application Nodes after converting the Database to RAC.
Verified the OS processes on both the application nodes to confirm that the enabled services are started and running successfully.
Logged in to the Application using login page url.
http://appsnode1.hingu.net:8001/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
Verified that the Concurrent Managers are started and running on the Concurrent Node (appsnode2.hingu.net)
OAM Configuration:
(a) listnener.ora, tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and their ifiles from all the RAC nodes.
(b) listnener.ora and tnsnames.ora from both the application nodes.
(c) CONTEXT_FILE from all the 5 nodes.
(d) Pfile of the RAC database.
Here is the Final look of the above Configuration files at the end of the successful Installation of 2-node EBS R12 (12.1.1) on 3-node 11gR1 RAC database managed by 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure.
