To use Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 in Linux

To make Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 in Linux you need to have sun jre 1.5_12 installed in your system. The jre version should be exactly 1.5_12 , by default Linux distributions does not come with sun jre . You need to download it and install it . It can be downloaded from “http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_12/index.html”
Follow the following steps
1> Download jdk or jre from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_12/index.html
2> move the downloaded file to /opt directory
3> chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586
4> ./jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586
this will istall jdk in opt directory
Now what we need to create a “soft link” for the firefox browser
5> cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
6> from “/usr/lib/mzilla/plugins” give “ln -s /opt/jdk1.5.0_12/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so”
Above command makes a soft link to javaplugin

Now we need to change the path parameter so that java executable is the path
7> “cd /etc/profile.d/ “
8> create any file , I created “myjavapath.sh” . You can create with any name
inside the file it should have the following
# !/bin/sh

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12
export PATH=/opt/jdk1.5.0_12/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin


Now after restarting or log off and log-in will make the path parameters reflected and you will be able to use Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2
