2. buildStage.sh

After creating the stage area directory it is required to manually unzip only the "Oracle
E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0 Rapid Install Start Here" or unzip Patch 22066363 files.
Do not manually unzip the other stage files. After unzipping the startCD,
the buildStage.sh script should be run to unzip the rest of the installation software.

Running the buildStage.sh script is a mandatory pre-installation step. To create a

successful R12.2 stage, you must run buildStage.sh as suggested below with "Option 1"
first "Create new stage area" followed by "Option 2" "Copy new patches to current
stage area.". The buildStage.sh script is run as follows:

$ cd /u01/StageR122/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin
$ buildStage.sh

[oracle@erp]$ ./buildStage.sh

cause the installation to fail during the Oracle Home patching phase.

Important: Please review the R12.2 installation documents and make sure that all OS
pre-requisites has been met prior to installing R12.2.

3. Cleaning Up A Failed Install Attempt

There is no rapidwiz -restart option available with R12.2 and hence once the installation
fails then perform the below steps to clean up failed installation first. And then perform
the installation.

A. Restart the server or make sure to kill ALL oracle and applmgr processes.

B. Delete the install directory, oraInventory and /tmp.

Note: If there are multiple EBS Instances or Oracle homes are present on server then
central inventory needs to be cleaned up properly so that other existing environment
should not get impacted. De-register Oracle homes first for the failed installation and
then remove the install directory of failed installation. Also if some other process is
running in /tmp directory then make sure that only process and files related to failed
installation from /tmp directory needs to be deleted.

C. Run rapidwiz to start installation again.
