3 RPASCE Virtual Machine

RPAS Cloud Edition (RPASCE) Virtual Machines (VMs) provide a way for anyone to be up and running using the RPASCE software as quickly as possible without having to deal with all the steps around setting up the RPASCE server, UI and its applications. The VMs are created for Oracle consultants and partners who want to get a quick feel of the application without having to set up the hardware and software resources necessary for trying out RPASCE solutions.

RPASCE VMs are not a replacement or substitution for pre-production Cloud Environments (STAGE, Dev, and so on). Note that the VMs are only provided to give a quick feel of the application and are not intended to be used as full-blown implementation tool.

This chapter lists the steps necessary to deploy an RPAS Cloud Edition VM, launch the UI and connect to the application included in the VM. All the components - RPASCE server, UI, PDS (Planning Data Store) are all local to the VM. Disregard the version numbers shown in the images in this chapter as the steps are the same across different versions.

Contrary to previous versions of the RPASCE VMs where the RPASCE server and UI software were directly installed in the VM they are now deployed using Docker inside the VirtualBox VM. Therefore, the RPASCE server, UI and database processes are running inside their silos known as containers inside the VM. For more information on Docker, refer to the URL:

https://docs.docker.com/

Note

The VMs do not include Retail Home, Science, or RI components. It only contains the base planning application. Also, the VMs do not use IDCS or Object Storage. Notifications are currently not supported in the VM.

VirtualBox Software

Download the Oracle VirtualBox software that is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris from the following link. For Windows, select the download link for Windows Hosts:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Note

For a straight forward installation, use the VirtualBox version 6.1 from the older downloads section. Version 7 and later versions require Python and certain Python bindings, refer to VirtualBox software documentation for more information.

Troubleshooting

If you have any of the following issues, follow the steps for troubleshooting:

  • Network Issues

  • VirtualBox Error

  • UI Login Issues

  • SQL Developer Login Issues

Network Issues

If you have many network interfaces you might have to make changes to Network Settings screen before starting the VM. The VM image has been tested only with Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If you use power line Ethernet or a network dongle or you have multiple network interface cards in your system you might need to make changes in the VM network settings screen.

Depending on your system configuration, you might need to enable additional adapters.

VirtualBox Error

If you receive the following error shown in Figure 3-20 while starting the image, you might have an unsupported version of VirtualBox. Install the latest VirtualBox software.
