Oracle RDBMS Screen is missing.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Our Problem is, while Installing ERP6.0 it asks for Oracle Client instead of Oracle RDBMS.

That Oracle RDBMS Screen is missing.

So it doesn't create database and subsequent folder under /oracle/stage/102_64.

We have Downloaded the file RDBMS_SAP_64.zip and unzipped as well but of no use, as document said "SAPinst extracts the Oracle RDBMS software to the staging area". However in our case while running SapInst it ask for Oracle Client.

OS=HP-UX 11.31 PA-RISC

Database=Oracle 10.2

ERP6.0

Please help to resolve the Issue.

Warm Regards,

Ajit

Hello Ajit,

> Our Problem is, while Installing ERP6.0 it asks for Oracle Client instead of Oracle RDBMS.

Of course ... SAPINST also needs the oracle client installation package.

Just download and unzip it with SAPCAR - then add it to SAPINST. The package has the number 51033272 (just search for this number in the Software Distribution Center).

Dear Stefan,

Thanks for your promt reply.

We all ready have Oracle Client with 51033272. When we run SapInst it must ask for Orcale RDBMS as well right. But is doesn't ask for Oracle RDBMS.

Then We gone ahead with Oracle Client Option and try to instal but, at Phase 8 of 28 it says "RDBMS file not found" then we click on OK again next pop up says-

1. login with oradvd 2.Set the DISPLAY 3. change Directory to /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP 4. ./RUNINSTALLER.

when we find in our System it only create /oracle/stage/102_64 and oracle/client.

So during Installation it never promt for Oracle RDBMS. There we got stuck.

I will be realy thankfull to you if you help me to resolve this serious problem.We are strugling for past 3-4 days.

Warm Regads,

Hello Ajit,

No, you will never be asked for the Oracle RDBMS DVDs. Have you read the installation guide?

That's correct. At this step you have to install the oracle RDBMS by your own with the runInstaller. This is described in the installation guide on page 98. As a prerequisite of this you need to extract the oracle RDBMS installation files to the folder /oracle/stage/102_64/. That is also described in the guide on page 98.

Dear Stefan,

First of all thanks a lot for your prompt help.

Earlier I have Installed Orcale on linux and Solaris and it asked for Oracle RDBMS Path then Oracle Client path.Then SapInst automatically extracted the oracle RDBMS installation files to the folder /oracle/stage/102_64/database.From there we executed ./RUNINSTLLER and successfully installed.

Did you mean SapInst on HP-UX does n't ask for Orcale RDBMS Path during Intallation.As i understand now we have to go ahead with only Oracle Client installation.When it prompts for Database Installation we need to extract Oracle RDBMS to the folder /oracle/stage/102_64/ and Download the file RDBMS_SAP_64.zip attached to SAP Note 819830.am i right?

Please help me out.If possible please provide your contact so that i can explain you better.

Ajit

Hello Ajit,

sorry i misunderstood you before.

> Then Sapinst automatically extracted the oracle RDBMS installation files to the folder /oracle/stage/102_64/database.From there we executed ./RUNINSTLLER and successfully installed.

Yes, that is true and also the way like it is described in the installation guide. Afaik you can set a flag in the SAPINST dialog, if you want to extract the files or not. Also the dialog for the RDBMS installation DVDs is just coming up by the database instance installation. Maybe you have select the wrong installation path in SAPINST?

> When it prompts for Database Installation we need to extract Oracle RDBMS to the folder /oracle/stage/102_64/ and Download the file RDBMS_SAP_64.zip attached to SAP Note 819830.am i right?

Yes, you can also do that stuff manually. You also need the zip file from sapnote #819830.

This is described in sapnote #972263 (Inst.NW 7.0(2004s)SR2/Business Suite 2005 SR2-UNIX/Oracle).

Updating SAP-Specific Files in the Oracle stage area
Use SAPinst extracts the Oracle RDBMS software to the staging area, usually /oracle/stage/102_64/database. The "SAP" folder located in /oracle/stage/102_64/database contains SAP-specific scripts as well as the response files. Before starting the Oracle software installation, you need to update this SAP folder so that the newest versions of the scripts or response files are used.
Procedure
      1. Rename the original "SAP" folder by performing one of the following:
mv /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP
      /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP_ORIG
mv /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP
      /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP_ORIG
      2. Download the file RDBMS_SAP_32.zip (for 32-bit platforms) or RDBMS_SAP_64.zip (for 64-bit platforms) attached to SAP Note 819830 and copy it to a temporary location such as /tmp
      3. Extract the zip file by performing one of the following:
cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database
      unzip /tmp/RDBMS_SAP.zip
cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1
      unzip /tmp/RDBMS_SAP.zip
You should now see the directory "SAP" extracted with the updated
version of SAP-specific files.
