As my teams have to involve in some Maximo – Oracle EBS integration projects, I decided to download the latest Oracle EBS demo VM to learn a bit more about the system. Downloading and deploying the environment from edelivery.oracle.com is straightforward.
The good thing about Oracle EBS 12.2.5 or later is that the Oracle team decided to install everything in only one VM box. As such, the download file size is very small, only 60GB. And after deployment, the VM only takes 300GB (much smaller compared to 700-800GB in the previous version). The VM only requires 8GB RAM, thus, it fits very well into my laptop with 16GB RAM and 1TB HDD. I still can run one Maximo environment to try out some integration code if necessary.
One difficulty I got after deploying EBS was that I couldn’t log in using the standard SYSADMIN/welcome username and password. EBS kept returning a “failed to login” error message.
After some investigation, I found out that I have to go into the /u01/install/APPS/scripts folder and run the enableDEMOusers.sh and enableSYSADMIN.sh scripts in order to log in.
