Oracle VM Templates for EBS 12.1.3 for Exalogic Now Available
- by Elke Phelps (Oracle Development)
Oracle VM Templates for Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 for x86 Exalogic Platform (64 bit) are now available on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.  The templates contain all the required elements to 
create an Oracle E-Business Suite R12 demonstration system on an Exalogic server. You can use these templates to quickly build an EBS 12.1.3 demonstration environment, bypassing the operating system and the software install (via the EBS Rapid Install).   
    
  The Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 (64 bit) template for the Exalogic platform is a Oracle Virtual Server Guest template that contains a complete Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Database Tier and Application Tier Installation.  For additional details, please refer to the following My Oracle Support Note:

    The Oracle E-Business Suite system is installed on top of Oracle Linux 
Version 5 update 6. The templates have been optimized for performance, including OS kernel 
settings and E-Business Suite configuration settings tuned specifically for the Exalogic 
platform.  The configuration delivered with this template for a mid-tier
 running on Exalogic will support hundreds of concurrent users.  Please 
refer to Section 2: Performance Analysis in My Oracle Support Note 1499132.1 for additional details.
