Can't select my oracle_home in sapinst

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am installing NW Mobile 7.1 on Windows/Oracle.

I expierence a strange problem.

1. First i install Oracle 10g

2. Then I install path 10.2.0.2 (if I remember correct)

3. Then I Start SAPINST

When SAPINST reach the step u201COracle Databaseu201D u2013 Enter the parameters of the database system.

Then i get a drop down box where I have to select the Oracle_Home which I want to use for the installation. My problem is, that I can NOT select the newly installed Oracle_Home. I can choose the other running SAP instanceu2019s Oracle_Home though, but not the new one.

I install Oracle as the local Administrator, and I continue to install SAP with the same user.

Oracle_Home is set correct in the environment for the user, and oracle_home\bin is also in the PATH environment variable.

Why cant I choose the newly installed Oracle_Home for my new SAP system?

Regards,

Kenneth

It will show automatically ORACLE_HOME if the environment variables are set correctly. Please use capital letters for environment varibles and set for the user with which you are installing SAP.

Hello,

It is set with capital letters!

See this picture, i can select a lot of oracle_homes, even though they are not known for the user, but not the one actually known in the environment...
