EBS Cloud Admin Tool in OCI
Lets first talk about EBS Cloud Admin Tool on OCI. As we all know OCI is Generation 2 IaaS offered by Oracle and is way ahead of any Cloud Vendor. For Provisioning and Managing Oracle Application on OCI, we have Cloud Admin Tool at OCI. A recent update from Oracle related to E-business suite is we can now have 12.2.7 instance using Cloud Admin Tool.
Forgetting EBS Cloud Admin Tool at OCI here is the high-level overview:
- Create Oracle Compute Instance in the respective AD.
- Use Image Oracle-Provisioned OS Image – Oracle Linux 7.4
- Make sure all these you are deploying in the same Compartment and VCN which you have created for EBS.
- Once above setup is done then we need to download the V978719-01.zip file from Oracle Software Delivery cloud (e-delivery) under “Oracle E-business Suite Release 12.2.7” for Linux x86-64 OS. This has Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Automation Archive 18.2.1. You need to untar the file EBSCloudAdminTools_v18.1.2.tgz.
- Also to get the latest version of the script you need to download Patch 28189453 and copy ProvisionOCInfra.pl script.
- Once done you are set to use the EBS Cloud Admin Tool on OCI.
- You can deploy Cloud admin tool in an Automated VCN too in case you are using for demo as the creation of Automated VCN is simple but the name of the network resource cannot be changed in this case.
