The Linux Pre-Install RPM for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 and 12.2 on Oracle Linux 7 is now available for use by customers.
The package (oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall) is available on the 'addons' channel on the Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN, which requires a support contract) or from the Oracle public yum repository. It is recommended that this x86_64 Pre-Install RPM be installed on top of a 'minimal' installation of Oracle Linux to provide just the necessary packages to install and run Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.
As with the Oracle Database Pre-Install RPMs, this RPM provides all required E-Business Suite packages for both the application and database tiers, while configuring the systems with particular kernel and other values to meet requirements published in our Linux x86-64 Installation and Upgrade Notes (see below).
This Pre-Install RPM will significantly reduce the preparation time of an environment prior to installing, upgrading or cloning an E-Business Suite R12 instance by performing the following tasks:

• Downloading and installing all software package versions and dependencies required for installing E-Business Suite R12 (12.1, 12.2)
• Creating the users oracle and applmgr for use as owners of the database and application tiers respectively, while setting hard and soft shell resource limits
• Updating kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf to recommended values
• Sets DNS resolver parameters in /etc/resolv.conf to minimum recommended values
• Sets 'numa=off' in the kernel in the kernel commandline
• Disables 'Transparent Huge Pages (THP)' if enabled
