13- Enable AutoConfig on Applications Database Tier

Steps to be done on all oracle database nodes:
1- Ensure that you have applied the Oracle Applications patches listed in the prerequisites
section above.
2- Execute $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl on the applications tier to generate an

appsutil.zip file for the database tier.
3- Copy (e.g. via ftp) the appsutil.zip file to the database tier in the 11gR2_ORACLE_HOME.
4- Unzip the appsutil.zip file to create the appsutil directory in the 11gR2_ORACLE_HOME.
5- Copy the jre directory from SOURCE_ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil to

11gR2_ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil.
6- Create a <CONTEXT_NAME> directory under <11gR2_ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin.

Use the new instance name while creating the context directory. For example, if your
database name is VISRAC, and you want to use "vis" as the instance prefix, create the
<CONTEXT_NAME> directory as vis1_<hostname>.
7- Set the following environment variables :
ORACLE_HOME =<11gR2_ORACLE_HOME>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<11gR2_ORACLE_HOME>/lib, <11gR2_ORACLE_HOME>/ctx/lib
ORACLE_SID = <instance name for current database node>
PATH= $PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin;
TNS_ADMIN = $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<context_name>
8- Copy the tnsnames.ora file from $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin to the $TNS_ADMIN

directory, and edit the aliases for SID=<new RAC instance name> and <SID>_local.
9- As the APPS user, run the following command on the primary node to de-register the
current configuration: SQL>exec fnd_conc_clone.clean_setup;
10- Set local_listener parameter to <SID>_local and verify that the instances are registered
in EBS database listener.
SQL> alter system set local_listener='<SID>_local' sid='<SID>';
11- From the 11gR2 ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, create an instance-specific XML

context file by executing the command:
adbldxml.plappsuser=<APPSuser>appspass=<APPSpwd>
12- Edit the following parameter in DB CONTEXTFILE


PCP Configuration
s_db_listener to LISTENER_EBS
s_virtual_hostname to Your virtual hostname
s_clusterInterConnects to Your Private hostname
if you are going to use scane change the following parameter also:
<scanNameoa_var="s_scan_name">scan-zitst.ziic.net</scanName>
<scanPortoa_var="s_scan_port">1570</scanPort>
<scanUpdateFlagoa_var="s_update_scan">TRUE</scanUpdateFlag>
s_sqlnet_expire_time to 1
12- From the 11gR2 ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, execute AutoConfig on the

database tier by running the adconfig.pl script.
13- Check the following log (autoconfig.log and Netservicehandler.log)
Note:
First time you will run autconfig on first node it will not generate the correct tnsnames
so ignore and run autoconfig on second node using the same above steps then
return to the first node and check all above parameter then rerun adconfig.pl script
second time will generate correct tnsnames entries
14- Now shutdown RAC listener that created before as you are going to use E-Business
Listener.
15- Stop all Database and listener processes then startup E-Bus listener and Database.


PCP Configuration
14- Establish Applications Environment for Oracle RAC

1- Edit tnsnames.ora entries at all Database Nodes as the following:
from
scan-zitst.ziic.net:1570=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=scan-zitst.ziic.net)(PORT=1570))
)
)
to
scan-zitst.ziic.net:1570=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=172.16.4.106)(PORT=1570))
)
)
then as sysdba make the following:
SQL> alter system set remote_listener='';
System altered.
SQL> alter system set remote_listener='scan-zitst.ziic.net:1570' SID='*';
System altered.
2- Source the Oracle Applications environment.
3- Edit SID=<Instance 1> and PORT=<New listener port > in $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora file,
to set up connection one of the instances in the Oracle RAC environment.
4- Confirm you are able to connect to one of the instances in the Oracle RAC
environment.
5- Edit the context variable jdbc_url, adding the instance name to the connect_data
parameter.
6- Run AutoConfig using the command:

$$AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.sh contextfile=$INST_TOP/appl/admin/<context_file> .
7- Check the $INST_TOP/admin/log/<MMDDhhmm> AutoConfig log file for errors.
8- Source the environment by using the latest environment file generated
9- Verify the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files. Copies of both are located in the
$INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/network/admin directory and
$INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/network/admin directory. In these files, ensure that the correct TNS
aliases have been generated for load balance and failover, and that all the aliases are
defined using the virtual hostnames.


PCP Configuration
10- Verify the dbc file located at $FND_SECURE. Ensure that the parameter APPS_JDBC_URL
is configured with all instances in the environment, and that load_balance is set to YES.
11- Open application and test that everything working fine (http,forms,report and
concurrent request)
12- Shutdown Application Process now and run preclone script then transfer application file
to second node and run adcfgclone on the second node.


PCP Configuration
15- Set Up Load Balancing and PCP

Note: thatthe Below Configuration should be done on all application nodes:
1- Edit the following parmeter in CONTEXT_FILE to loadbalance forms, self-service with

Databasename_BALANCE alias generated in the tnsnames.ora file.
s_tools_twotask
s_weboh_twotask
s_apps_jdbc_connect_alias
2- Edit the following parmeter in CONTEXT_FILE for PCP Configuration:

s_cp_twotask to DatabaseName_BALANCE
APPLDCP to ON
s_concstatus to disabled - This Configured on second Node Only
3- Execute AutoConfig by running the command:

$AD_TOP/bin/adconfig.sh contextfile=$INST_TOP/appl/admin/<context_file>
4- Check the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora configuration files, located in

$INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/network/admin. Ensure that the required FNDSM and
FNDFS entries are present for all other concurrent nodes.
5- Resource New Application Environment then Restart Application.
6- Ensure that value of the profile option "Application Database ID" is set to dbc file
name generated in $FND_SECURE.
7- Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 using the SYSADMIN account, and
choose the System Administrator Responsibility. Navigate to Install > Nodes
screen, and ensure that each node in the cluster is registered.
8- Verify that the Internal Monitor for each node is defined properly, with correct
primary and secondary node specification, and work shift details. For example,
Internal Monitor: Host2 must have primary node as host2 and secondary node as
host3. Also ensure that the Internal Monitor manager is activated: this can be
done from Concurrent > Manager > Administrator.
9- Set profile option 'Concurrent: PCP Instance Check' to OFF
10- Navigate to system administrator > OAM > Site Map > Parallel Concurrent
Programming Setup and then add secondary node to all concurrent program

PCP Configuration
16- Set Up Transaction Managers

1-Shut down the application services (servers) on all nodes
2-Shut down all the database instances cleanly in the Oracle RAC environment, using the
command:
SQL>shutdown immediate;
3-Edit $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/<context_name>_ifile.ora. Add the following parameters:
_lm_global_posts=TRUE
_immediate_commit_propagation=TRUE
4-Start the instances on all database nodes, one by one.
5-Start up the application services (servers) on all nodes.
6-Log on to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 using the SYSADMIN account, and choose
the System Administrator responsibility. Navigate to Profile > System, change the profile
option Concurrent: TM Transport Type' to QUEUE', and verify that the transaction manager
works across the Oracle RAC instance.
Navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Define screen, and set up the primary and
secondary node names for transaction managers.
Restart the concurrent managers.
If any of the transaction managers are in deactivated status, activate them from
Concurrent > Manager > Administrator.
Connect as sysdba and make the following:
SQL> alter system set parallel_force_local=TRUE sid='*';

System altered.
"Parallel Execution and Oracle RAC parameters
It is recommended to set the parameters PARALLEL_FORCE_LOCAL
on each instance, to ensure that parallel requests do not span instances.As of 11gR2,
EBS customers must set the value of this parameter to TRUE and then are no longer
required to set parallel_instance_groups and instance groups for the purpose of
preventing inter-instance sql parallelism in RAC environments."


PCP Configuration
17- Enable HTTP LoadBalancing and OC4J Cluster

1. Enabling HTTP Load Balancing:
$FND_TOP/bin/txkrun.pl -script=SetAdvCfg \
-appsuser=apps -appspass=apps -enable=HTTPLoadBal \
-t_session_persistent=[y|n] \
-t_dns=[y|n] \
-s_webentryhost=<The HTTP load balancer host name> \
-s_webentrydomain=<The HTTP load balancer domain name> \
-s_webentryurlprotocol=<The HTTP load balancer's protocol> \
-s_active_webport=<The HTTP load-balancer's external port>
* Optional. If not specified, s_active_webport will be set to the value of the web port
(s_webport).
Note: s_active_webport : is the port between user and load balancer, We use port 80 in
test server
2.Enabling OC4J Load Balancing:
$ $FND_TOP/bin/txkrun.pl -script=SetAdvCfg \
-appsuser=apps -appspass=apps -enable=OC4JLdBal \
-s_oc4j_cluster_nodes=<hostName1:onsPort1,hostName2:onsPort2>
