This blog provides some information on how to assemble the Oracle EBS R12.2.6 zip files into one .ova file to be imported into OVM or VirtualBox etc.
Use Oracle support doc for more info: “Oracle VM Virtual Appliance for Oracle E-Business Suite Deployment Guide, Release 12.2.6 (Doc ID 2254565.1)”
Provides access to the assembly tool that concatenates many zips into ONE .ova that can be imported with OVM or VirtualBox
Two options – download the assembly zip from Doc ID 2254565.1 unzip it and use assembly.sh to build the .ova – I used this technique multiple times – so far so good.
2254565.1 also provides a more manual build process, it says this (I have not tested this – looks reasonable):
for i in *.zip
do
unzip $i
doneNote: If you have constraints on disk space, you may delete the downloaded zip files before creating the final, combined OVA file.
