Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15 Fresh Install on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Introduction
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Marketplace makes it easy to deploy Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) without going through a complex manual installation process. With just a few configuration steps, you can quickly provision an Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15 environment with Oracle Database 19c on a single Compute instance.
In this blog, we’ll go through the steps to deploy Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15 on OCI.
Deployment Options
OCI Marketplace provides two deployment options for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15:
Demo Deployment
This option comes with sample business data and is useful for learning, demonstrations, and exploring Oracle EBS features.
Fresh Install
This option provides a clean Oracle E-Business Suite environment without demo data. It is suitable for development, testing, and configuring the application according to your business requirements.
Environment Details
| Component | Version |
| Operating System | Oracle Linux 8.10 (64-bit) |
| Oracle Database | 19c |
| Oracle E-Business Suite | 12.2.15 |
| Deployment Type | Single Node |
Step 1: Log in to OCI
Log in to your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.
From the navigation menu, go to Marketplace and select All Applications.
Search for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15 Fresh Install.
Select the listing and click Launch Instance.
Accept the terms and continue.
Step 2: Configure the Instance
Enter a name for your Compute instance or keep the default name.
Choose the Compute shape based on your requirements. The default configuration uses 1 OCPU, but you can increase it if you need better performance. In this example, the shape was changed to 6 OCPUs.
Step 3: Configure Networking
Choose the Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) and subnet.
You can either create a new VCN or use an existing one. In this example, an existing VCN and subnet were selected.
If an IPv6 warning appears, you can ignore it if IPv6 is not required.
Step 4: Add Your SSH Key
Upload your SSH public key so that you can connect to the Compute instance after deployment.
Make sure you keep your private key in a secure location.
Note: Never share your private SSH key.
Step 5: Configure Storage
Keep the default storage configuration unless your environment requires additional storage.
Review the configuration and click Create.
OCI will start provisioning the Oracle E-Business Suite environment.
Step 6: Wait for Provisioning
The instance status will initially show Provisioning.
After a few minutes, the status changes to Running, indicating that the deployment has completed successfully.
Step 7: Connect to the Server
Once the instance is running:
- Navigate to Compute > Instances in the OCI Console.
- Select your instance.
- Copy the Public IP address.
- Connect to the server from your local machine using SSH.
Example:
ssh -i private_key.pem opc@<Public-IP>
Replace <Public-IP> with the public IP address of your Compute instance.
Benefits
Deploying Oracle E-Business Suite through OCI Marketplace offers several advantages:
- Quick and simple deployment
- Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 19c are already configured
- Suitable for development and testing
- Less manual installation effort
- Easy to customize based on business needs
Conclusion
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a simple and efficient way to deploy Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.15. Using the Fresh Install option, you can quickly provision a clean EBS environment with Oracle Database 19c and Oracle Linux.
Once the deployment is complete, you can connect to the server, configure the application, and begin your development or testing activities. This approach saves time and simplifies the overall deployment process compared to a traditional manual installation.
