Error is swpm while installating

I face the following issue while installing a fresh SAP System on Linux/Oracle with SWPM.

The LOG says:


Standard System( Last error reported by the step: System call failed. Error 13 (Permission denied) in execution of system call 'openU' with parameter (/root/SAP/Media/SWPM/COMMON/INSTALL/ORA/STARTDB, O_RDONLY), line (291) in file (syuxcfile.cpp), stack trace: EJSController.cpp: 183: EJSControllerImpl::executeScript()

JSExtension.hpp: 1064: CallFunctionBase::call()

iaxxbfile.cpp: 493: CIaOsFile::copyFromPath_impl()

syuxcfile.cpp: 255: CSyFileImpl::copy(const CSyPath & /usr/sap/SRX/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/startdb, ISyNode::CopyMoveMode_t 0x3, ISyProgressObserver*) const

I set the permissions on /root/SAP/* to 777.

Furthermore I see that this file "/usr/sap/SRX/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/startdb" does not exist at all.

Even If I place it manually, while retrying SAPinst it gets removed and I'm stuck with the error above.


Please advice? unrgently

/root/Desktop/sapdums/swpm/>./sapinst

Thanks in advance,

Hi Indranil,

Please set following permission

chmod -R 777 /root/SAP

Hello indranil roy,

The permission denied error could be related to the user account you are using to execute the installer. As described in the installation guide, you must execute the installer as "root" user.

Additionally, make sure the <sid>adm user belongs to the groups:


Primary group: sapsys

Additional Group: oper, dba and sapinst

Also, there are the groups below. They are always required for Oracle 12, but for Oracle 11 only if you want to use Oracle ASM: asmoper, asmdba


Also, make sure you are using the latest version of SWPM available in the SAP Marketplace, as described in SAP note:

#1680045 - Release Note for Software Provisioning Manager 1.0

If the issue remains afterwards, please attach the sapinst_dev.log for my analysis.
