Upgrade EBS R12.1.1 to R12.1.3

This post will cover the steps to upgrade EBS 12.1.1 to 12.1.3

I have already installed EBS 12.1.1 on Linux x86-64 bit platform.

DB version : 11.1.0.7.0

EBS: 12.1.1

Patches to be applied

9239089- R12.AD.B.DELTA.3

9239090- Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3

9239095- Consolidated online help

Post-Applying above patches

9817770- POST-R12.ATG_PF.B.DELTA.3 CONSOLIDATED PATCH

9966055- TRANSLATED VERSION OF FNDSCSGN NOT LAUNCHED

Start the steps:

1) Put Application in Maintenance mode using adadmin

2) Download 12415211 and unzip.

Then perform the below steps for Oracle Linux 6

cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib

cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG

cd stubs

cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .

ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1

ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so

The instructions for the 10.1.3 Oracle Home are:

cd <12.1_INSTALL_DIR>/apps/tech_st/10.1.3/lib

cp -p -R stubs stubsORIG

cd stubs

cp <PATCH_INSTALL_DIR>/12415211/files/lib/stubs/libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so .

ln -s libgcc_s-2.3.2-stub.so libgcc_s.so.1

ln -s libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so

3) Before Applying Patch: 9239089

Copy adgrants.sql to $DB_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin, if the admin directory doesn't exist please create.

[oracle@ebsr12 admin]$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 – Production on Fri Feb 28 14:53:28 2020

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin/adgrants.sql apps

Also, add the below parameter in database level and restart.

_disable_fast_validate=TRUE

Note:

For 11gR1 and 11.2.0.1 databases, before performing any Applications upgrade or maintenance operations, customers must add the following to the database initialization file to disable fast validation for PL/SQL recompilations:

_disable_fast_validate=TRUE

The line should be commented out during the normal operation of the Applications system

4) Now Apply patches using adpatch utility.

9239089
9239090- Please perform the below steps before applying this patch.

Replace the following line under the Linux section of the $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh:

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh'

with

CPP_LDFLAGS=' -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -lclntsh -Wl,--noinhibit-exec'

Run the adadmin utility and relink application executables

Please note the upgrade patch will take time depending upon on what hardware you are using.

Context File  /ebs121/oracle/DEV121/db/tech_st/11.1.0/appsutil/DEV121_ebs122.xml
 already exists.

Overwriting Context File may cause loss of existing settings, hence
 backing it up as: /ebs121/oracle/DEV121/db/tech_st/11.1.0/appsutil/DEV121_ebs122.xml.bak



The context file has been created at:
/ebs121/oracle/DEV121/db/tech_st/11.1.0/appsutil/DEV121_ebs122.xml

Run autoconfig on DB-Tier

Run autoconfig on Apps-Tier

Remove the application from maintenance mode and bring up Application services and check the application version.

6) Validate the New EBS version

SQL> select release_name from apps.fnd_product_groups;

RELEASE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------
12.1.3

If forms are not opening

Stop the application tier services

Run adadmin regenerate JAR file

Compile all the forms.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib

make -f ins_forms.mk install
