Oracle EBS & DB Preinstall RPMs for Redhat Enterprise Linux e.g., RHEL7

Oracle EBS R12 Preinstall RPM for Redhat ( RHEL7)

Oracle by default ship preinstall rpms for only Oracle Linux. Even though Oracle Linux is derived from Redhat Linux, we cannot install those preinstall rpms on Redhat Linux, as the rpms has prereq of using UEK kernel. So i have created new rpms for Redhat that acheive the same result using the SRPMs from oracle
