Reason For The Error

There are two reasons why this error can occur:

Cause 1: If you are continuing EBS installation after a failed attempt, and there are some residue files from the previous installation.

There were some files or inventory references remaining from the previous installation due to which the current installation failed. This can be confirmed in the uploaded log file $ORACLE_HOME/temp/$CONTEXT_NAME/logs/oracle.apps.fnd.txk.install0.log which contains the errors:

Cause:

The chosen installation conflicted with the software already installed in the given Oracle home.

Action:

Install into a different Oracle home.

Solution:

The errors in the txk.install0.log file indicate that the previous installation was not completely removed before the current installation was initiated.

Ensure the previous install is completely deleted including any specific inventory references.

Remove the PROD122 directory from /u01/oracle and inventory.xml file from /u01/oracle/oraInventory/ContentsXML completely.

Also, refer to the troubleshooting section 20.8 of Module 2 AG: R12.2 Installation.

Cause 2: If you are starting with a fresh installation, then it is definitive that some prerequisite RPMs are missing.

Note: Prerequisite RPMs are different for Linux 6 and 8 version. Check if you have the exact same version required for RPMs.

There are 2 ways of checking the missing RPMs.

1. Manual check:

• In this method, you check all the required RPMs by crosschecking the installed RPMs in Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux x86-64 (My Oracle Support Document 1330701.1).
• You can download the pre-requisite RPMS from the link Click here

2. Using the Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA): 

• RDA gives a detailed diagnostic report that we can use to find out what RPMs are missing in the Environment.
• You can download RDA for Linux x86 (64-bit).

Installation Instructions for RDA

• Make sure you have sufficient space for the RDA output (~150MB). It doesn’t matter where you create this directory or what it is named, but the same user that runs the RDA must own it. Do not use a directory that contains an older version of RDA unless you have deleted the previous version of RDA first. If necessary, you can reuse the prior setup files.
• Note: The rda.zip creates a directory named ‘RDA’ containing all the required files when you extract it.
• Extract the content in the .zip archive into a new directory, preserving the directory structure of the archive. Do not extract into a directory that contains an older version of RDA. For example: unzip rda.zip
• Make sure the RDA command ‘rda.sh’ is executable. To verify, enter the following command:
  ls -l rda.sh
• If the script is not executable, update it using the command mentioned below:
  chmod +x rda.sh
• The following command checks if you have a viable installation of RDA by checking that all the file versions are as expected:
  ./rda.sh -cv
