Error during installation phase when upgrading from oracle 10 to 11g

[Former Member]

hi,

We have going to upgrade oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3 in SAP ECC 6.4(DB:oracle, OS:AIX6.1). By mistake I run RUNINSTALLER from wrong path oracle/stage/11203 <dump folder>/database instead of SAP folder.it gives some error message during installation but i continue to installation and installation is completed.

now i worried about error and and wrong path selection, i removed manually new oracle home folder 112_64 and continue to new installation from proper path but now i am getting below error when running RUNINSTALLER from SAP folder

"[INS-10008] Session Initialization failed".and log are  as

ERROR)   -  Oracle Database software installation finished with errors.

. The Oracle executable <OH>/bin/oracle is empty or does not exist.

. Possible cause(s): link error, installation was cancelled or interrupted, or fatal error.

1. . (INFO)    -  Fatal error occurred during installation

Like I have said in the other thread you need to first delete the contents under /oracle/SID/11203 and start the installation as described in the Oracle upgrade guide.

Could you share the latest error message?

What is the error you are getting ?

You need to provide more information when you ask for help.

In which file system are you installing the Oracle software ?

Hi Pawan,

If I see the error only and forget that you have done wrong or your failed attempts, my 1st reaction for this error is missing GCC rpms and lost links.

Better you use file system and database backup to build it again and then upgrade oracle.

Check with Stefan, Yves and Reagan on this.

Thanks for replying

but we take only offline db backup nothing else could we recovered it from offline backup

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

1st take a current file system backup.

Now cleanup obsolete directories.

Install Oracle and and restore your backup.

See if that works.
