How To Create A Clean OraInventory in Release 12 (Doc ID 834894.1)

This document provides steps to recreate the oraInventory directory in all Oracle Homes (10.1.2, 10.1.3, and DB) in a Release 12 environment. It involves backing up the current oraInventory, creating a new empty directory, and adding each Oracle Home to the new oraInventory location by running a cloning utility and validating the registration.

Oracle Applications Technology Stack - Version 12.0.6 to 12.1.3 [Release 12.0 to 12.1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

GOAL

This document explains how to recreate the oraInventory in all Oracle Homes (10.1.2, 10.1.3 and DB) in a R12
environment.

SOLUTION

1. Backup the current oraInventory directory and recreate a new empty directory as the example:

Edit the oraInst.loc file:

vi /etc/oraInst.loc

Change the inventory_loc to a new location:


inventory_loc=/d01/oraInventory_new

Create the new directory:

mkdir /d01/oraInventory_new

Give permissions to the new directory:

chmod -R 777 /d01/oraInventory_new

2. Add the 10.1.3 Oracle Home to the new created oraInventory:

Login as applmgr user and go to the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3 and source the enviornment:

cd $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3
. ./<SID>_<hostname>.env

Go to the $ORACLE_HOME:

cd $ORACLE_HOME

Edit the oraInst.loc and point it to the same location ad done in step 1:

inventory_loc=/d01/oraInventory_new

Add the 10.1.3 Oracle Home to the new oraInventory location:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone
./ouicli.pl
Verify if the 10.1.3 is added to the new oraInventory directory:

cd /d01/oraInventory_new/ContentsXML

cat inventory.xml

If it's not added, check the /d01/oraInventory_new/logs file.

Verify the oraInventory has the information about the 10.1.3 Oracle Home, and all previous patches are present (if not
reinstall any patches as required)

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
opatch lsinventory -detail

3. Add the 10.1.2 Oracle Home to the new created oraInventory:

Login as applmgr and go to the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2 and source the enviornment:

cd $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2
. ./<SID>_<hostname>.env

Stop the Database and go to the $ORACLE_HOME:

cd $ORACLE_HOME

Edit the oraInst.loc and point it to the same location ad done in step 1:

inventory_loc=/d01/oraInventory_new
Add the 10.1.2 Oracle Home to the new oraInventory location:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone
./ouicli.pl

Verify if the 10.1.2 is added to the new oraInventory directory:

cd /d01/oraInventory_new/ContentsXML

cat inventory.xml

If it's not added, check the /d01/oraInventory_new/logs file.

Verify the oraInventory has the information about the 10.1.2 Oracle Home:

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
opatch lsinventory -detail

4. Add the DB Oracle Home to the new created oraInventory:

Login as oracle user and go to the $DB ORACLE_HOME and source the enviornment:

cd $ORACLE_HOME
. ./<SID>_<hostname>.env

Go to the $ORACLE_HOME:

cd $ORACLE_HOME
Edit the oraInst.loc and point it to the same location ad done in step 1:

inventory_loc=/d01/oraInventory_new

Add the DB Oracle Home to the new oraInventory location:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone
./ouicli.pl

Verify if the DB Oracle Home is added to the new oraInventory directory:

cd /d01/oraInventory_new/ContentsXML

cat inventory.xml

If it's not added, check the /d01/oraInventory_new/logs file.

Verify the oraInventory has the information about the DB Oracle Home:

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
opatch lsinventory -detail

Since ouicli.pl is created and used during database cloning process, for new Oracle Homes, there is a workaround to
create it, as follow:

- Copy the file :

$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/template/adouidb.pl
to
$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/clone/ouicli.pl
- Replace the following lines in the new ouicli.pl created with the values from the database context xml file:

# context args
my $appctx = '%s_contextfile%';
my $appctxname = '%s_contextname%';

e.g.
# context args
my $appctx = '/.../oracle/R121PROD/db/tech_st/11.2.0/appsutil/VIS_emeaicm04.xml';
my $appctxname = 'VIS_emeaicm04';

5. The new oraInventory is complete.

Please be aware :

For a RAC-enabled database the CRS $ORACLE_HOME needs to be registered in the new oraInventory. This must be
repeated on all cluster nodes.
