70SWPM10SP18--found the label oracle 12.1 RDBMS********but need the label oracle 10.0G RDBMS

[Former Member]

Hello,

I need your help in one of the issues. I am performing SCM5.1 ABAP homogenous system copy by R3load ( DB independent method) using 70SWPM10SP18. SCM 5.1 is on oracle 12c with AIX 7.1

Export was done successfully from source system. While target system installation, we have used same SWPM, but we noticed that after giving migration export dump, DB version detected by SWPM installer is only oracle 10g and in subsequent screen it only looking for 10g label.asc, instead of 12c label.asc ( which should be ideal case, as our source version is on oracle 12c). hence this is ambigiuos situation, and i am unable to move forward with installer. Is there any bug with this version of SWPM? or if some other issue.

Thanks & Regards.,

Alok

Hi ,

After getting below response from SAP, our issue was solved, and we have proceeded further with sapinst.

as you do the system copy for the upgrade to SCM 7.0 you can install SCM 51 with Oracle 12. To do this please adapt the the entries in ORADBPAR.XML. If you already started sapinst. stop sapinst here and adapt the file in the installation directory.
If you want to start again from the beginning, you can also adapt the file under <directory SWOM is located>/<your platform>/COMMON/INSTALL/ORA.
Search for the row
<row>
<fld name="PRODUCT"><strval><![CDATA[SCM]]></strval></fld>
<fld name="PROD_REL"><strval><![CDATA[51]]></strval></fld>
<fld name="OsFAName"><strval><![CDATA[AIX_64]]></strval></fld>
<fld name="serverVersion"><strval><![CDATA[102]]><<)>/strval><(></fld>
and change 102 to 121 for the serverVersion.
If you also want to install Oracle Client 12 please adapt also the row for the clientVersion:
<row>
<fld name="PRODUCT"><strval><![CDATA[SCM]]></strval></fld>
<fld name="PROD_REL"><strval><![CDATA[51]]></strval></fld>
<fld name="OsFAName"><strval><![CDATA[AIX_64]]></strval></fld>
<fld name="clientVersion"><strval><![CDATA[102]]><<)>/strval><(></fld>
change also 102 to 121.
Save the file and restart sapinst
