how to restart the failed APPS R12 installation
Objective:
In this post we will show how can we restart the failed APPS R12 installation.
Cookbook:
The installation can fail becuase of any reason, e.g. system hang, system restart etc. In any of the case we can restart the installation from the same point where it got failed.
Following are the points.
1- start the rapidwiz with the option "-restart"
./rapidwiz -restart
2- it will open the install screen and will as the saved configuration file. Here is the catch, the saved configuration file can be found on two places.
a- /tmp/MMDDHHMI/conf_SID.txt
b- $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/conf_SID.txt
3- once you choose the right saved configuration file, the installer will start from the same point where it got failed.

Please note this is not valid for EBS 12.2, Restart Option is not available for 12.2.
Cleaning Up A Failed Install Attempt
There is no rapidwiz -restart option available with R12.2 and hence once the installation fails then perform the below steps to clean up failed installation first. And then perform the installation.
A. Restart the server or make sure to kill ALL oracle and applmgr processes.
B. Delete the install directory, oraInventory and /tmp.
Note: If there are multiple EBS Instances or Oracle homes are present on server then central inventory needs to be cleaned up properly so that other existing environment should not get impacted. De-register Oracle homes first for the failed installation and then remove the install directory of failed installation. Also if some other process is running in /tmp directory then make sure that only process and files related to failed installation from /tmp directory needs to be deleted.
C. Run rapidwiz to start installation again.
Note: Please follow below document to remove R12.2 Windows environment:
