Fusion Applications - How to get Sizing Requirement?

In the last year many of us struggled with the unknown sizing requirements for Fusion Applications. I have had many comments on the my posts and read tons of other posts from different people stating what the hardware requirements for Oracle Fusion Applications are. None of the documentation state the overall hardware requirements needed for Oracle Fusion Applications. You can find the hardware requirements for the individual components, but you can not simply sum up these requirements.

Some say 60GB RAM, some say 90GB RAM, latest I have heard was 128GB RAM.

I have heard sounds like minimum of three servers up to 14 servers.

Well let's set it clear by what Oracle is saying on Oracle Support document 1379929.1
Oracle wants to ensure that each customer is successful with Fusion Applications and as it has over a hundred different components giving a sizing estimate has proven to be a bit of a challenge. So instead of giving a one-size fits no-one estimate Oracle has a special process in place that will lead to a proper sizing advice. It consists of contacting your Oracle Sales / Account person who in turn engages the Oracle Fusion Applications environment sizing experts team. Based up on your inputs they will provide a proper sizing report recommending the disk and memory requirements and CPU sizes for your configurations and usage level.

So let's stop guessing, if you want to know the hardware requirements, you need to contact Oracle.

One thing is sure, Oracle Fusion Applications is not like any other ERP system and consists of many components. Creating a local sandbox is not something that can be done on a single "simple" server.

    I am doing Oracle Fusion Applications 11g Installation while Running Fusion Applications Repository Creation Utility (Apps RCU) after the Tablespaces creation phase

    I am getting the following error while creating the required Schemas which is the last steps of rcu.

    ora-24010: Queue fusion.acr_ads_ims_queue does not exist
    ora-06512 at SYS.DBMS_AQADM LINE 270
    ORA-6512 AT LINE 98

    Can we Ignore the Error.

    Here is the content of fusionapps_postimport_latest.sql which is the Error file under/oracle/fusionapps/installers/apps_rcu/lrcu/integration/fusionapps/sql Direct.
    132 FA_DBINSTALL_CREATE_TRIG('logon_trigger_for_fusion after logon on
    133 fusion_runtime.schema
    134 ','begin
    135 execute immediate ''ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = FUSION'';
    136 end;
    137 ');
    138 FA_DBINSTALL_CREATE_TRIG('logon_trigger_for_fusion_bi after logon on fus ion_bi.schema
    139 ','begin
    140 execute immediate ''ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = FUSION'';
    141 end;
    142 ');
    143 END;
    144 DECLARE
    145 num_cpus NUMBER;
    146 BEGIN
    147 --################################# RECOMPILE SCHEMAS ################## ###############
    148 SELECT value INTO num_cpus FROM v$osstat WHERE stat_name = 'NUM_CPUS';
    149 SYS.UTL_RECOMP.RECOMP_PARALLEL(threads => num_cpus, schema => NULL);
    150 END;
    151 END;
    152 /

    Appreciate if anyone could suggest ... Can we Ignore the Error ?
    Thanks & regards
