have you checked the installation guide at

http://service.sap.com/instguides

?????

on UNIX systems the DB is not installed BEFORE than the SAP system, it is installed during the SAP installation. SAPINST takes care of creating the oracle user and setting the environment variables.

Please, read the installation guide(s)

Hi Pavan,

I've recently installed ECC6 on RHEL5 and can probably help you if you tell me exactly in which step you are struggling. Have you completed your installation already but you can't startup Oracle, or you are still in the middle of the installation.

Let me know when you can.

Cheers,

Please read Note 1048303 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5: Installation and upgrade

Environment variables : JAVA_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Just follow the Installation Guide, it will instruct you when to install Oracle.

Dear Pavan,

please make sure, that you have read SAP Note <a href="https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1048303">1048303</a> - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5: Installation and upgrade. This note does have a special paragraph related to Oracle setup on RHEL5...

Furthermore (as Fidel already mentioned), <a href="http://service.sap.com/instguides">http://service.sap.com/instguides</a> for general information how to install sap software...

Thanks,
