Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 has a restriction on the lengths of the host names you can use.  The exact restriction depends on which of the following EBS Release Update Packs you have applied:

  • EBS Release Update Pack 12.2.5
  • EBS Release Update Pack 12.2.4, 12.2.3, 12.2.2, 12.1.3, 12.1.1

Each of these will be considered in turn.

Restriction in EBS Release Update Pack 12.2.5

When you run Rapid Install, you must ensure that the host names of your database node and primary applications node do not exceed 30 characters in length.  

Restriction in EBS Release Update Packs 12.2.4, 12.2.3, 12.2.2, 12.1.3, 12.1.1

The node names returned by the operating system for the database tier and application tier nodes must be no longer than 30 characters. If you configure your system to return only the host name for the node, then the host name must be no longer than 30 characters. If you configure your system to return the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), then the FQDN must be no longer than 30 characters, including the host name, domain name, and periods (.) used as separators.
