Oracle e-Business Suite Documentation: Discoverer Setup - Non Standalone Sever Installation Page 2 of 25
Purpose
This document describes the installation of non standalone server discoverer installations
and Steps to Integrate with E-Business Suite .
Prerequisite for Discoverer setup:

1. Ensure that OID has been setup before starting the installation.
System Requirements
Check if the following RPM’s have been installed in the server
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
compat-db 4.1.25-9
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm
Ensure that libXp has been installed

Issue the following to confirm:
$ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" | grep libXp
On 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 xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm is already existing 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
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.
Steps for Discoverer Setup:

Invoke RunInstaller from DUMP.

Post Install Steps

Apply Patch
Apply patch 7198716 (CUMULATIVE PATCH 2 : MLR ON TOP OF 10.1.2.3 FOR BUG
7111842 + NEW BUG FIXES) on Discoverer Home. This is the latest patch compared to
7111842 mentioned in note 373634.1
Stop all discoverer service using opmnctl & emctl and apply the patch on Discoverer oracle
home using opatch.
Copy DBC file:

Copy DBC file from $FND_TOP/secure in Oracle EBusiness Suite applications to the
Discoverer server at $ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/secure
Update tnsnames.ora file

Update the tnsnames.ora file in the discoverer Oracle Home location to connect to the
EBusiness database.
Repeat the above installation steps in second node.
Create Discoverer Tablespace

On DB node:
SQL> create tablespace DISCOVERER datafile '/disk2/oradata/CRP2/discoverer01.dbf'
2 size 500M autoextend on next 500M maxsize 5G;
Tablespace created.
SQL> select file_name, bytes/(1024*1024*1024) from dba_temp_files where tablespace_name =
'TEMP2';
FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BYTES/(1024*1024*1024)
----------------------
/disk4/oradata/CRP2/temp02.dbf
1
SQL> alter database tempfile '/disk4/oradata/CRP2/temp02.dbf' resize 4G;
Database altered.
Create the Discoverer EUL:

On Discoverer node:
./eulapi -CREATE_EUL -APPS_MODE \
-CONNECT system/manager@DEV -USER EULADPC_US -PASSWORD EULADPC_US \
-DEFAULT_TABLESPACE DISCOVERER -TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE temp2 \
-EUL_LANGUAGE US -APPS_GRANT_DETAILS apps/apps -LOG create_eul.log
In database, the above command has created user “EULBMI_US” and loaded objects into
the schema.
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS,DEFAULT_TABLESPACE,TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE from

dba_users where USERNAME='EULADPC_US';
USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS DEFAULT_TABLESPACE TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE

SQL> select ver_min_code_ver from eul5_versions;
VER_MIN_CODE_VER
------------------------------
10.1.2.45.20
Copy Sun Java plug-in

Copy the Sun Java Plug-in executable from your E-Business Suite Release 12 instance
$OA_HTML/oaj2se.exe
and save the executable to your Discoverer node as:
$ORACLE_HOME/jpi/bin/oaj2se.exe
Edit the Discoverer Configuration file

Backup the discoverer configuration file before making any changes.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/config/
cp configuration.xml configuration.xml.org
Find the plugin attribute within the <plus> element. This will show possible
values "sun" or "jinitiator". Set the value to "sun":
