The Oracle database software is not yet installed. SOLUTION:

[former_member184628]

Dear All,

We are installing SAP Solution manager 7.1 on AIX 6.1 with Oracle 11g as database.

Everything went smoothly before oracle installation, now after running oracle 11.2.0.2 (DVD: 51040503 and oracle client 10.2.0.4(DVD : 51039412). Now after installing Oracle and after running orainstRoot.sh and root.sh when we are clicking on continue, it is asking us to install oracle.

The message is "The Oracle database software is not yet installed. SOLUTION: Install the Oracle database software using the RUNINSTALLER.".

I have followed the same DVD which has been mentioned by SAP in Media List for SOLMAN and also I have found that the /oracle/SID/112_64 location is completely empty which is bit strange and I have also found that there is a directory created under /oracle/SID/11202 which contains all the files like(MOPatch, Opatch etc).

My ORACLE_HOME points to /oracle/SID/112_64. Is there any mismatch between the Oracle home variable.

Please help me, as I am stuck in the middle of installation.

regards,

Rableen.

Check

Note 1524205 - Oracle 11.2.0: Database Software Installation

From Oracle 11.x on you always install full versions in "new Oracle homes" and link those to the actual ORACLE_HOME of the instance.

Create a soft link from /oracle/<SID>/11202 to /oracle/<SID>/112 and retry.

Dear Markus,

creating symbolic link between with command

ln -s /oracle/SID/11202 /oracle/SID/112_64 from root user, but this didnt work.

Is there any thing else I need to setup?

Thanks,

What exactly "did not work"?

Hi Markus,

I tried to continue with the normal installation of SAP by clicking on the OK button which prompts to continue with the SAP installation, but that didnt work.

Throws the message again "The Oracle database software is not yet installed. SOLUTION: Install the Oracle database software using the RUNINSTALLER."

Also I have downloaded the latest version of script from 11ginstall-11202-029-complete.zip which is attached to this note.

Thanks,

Rableen

Which installation master DVD do you use?

There are new installation master DVDs available to support installations on Oracle 11.x since at the time the "older" ones were created, no Oracle 11 was available.

Hi Markus,

I have used Oracle DVD number: 51040503 and oracle client DVD number 51039412.

Also when I am putting comand ls- lrt in /oracle/SID/ directory I didnt find any symbolic link between 11202 and 112_64.

Shall I go this way?

cd /oracle/SID

and give this command:

ln -s 11202 /oracle/SLM/112_64

Thanks,

Rableen

Sorry Markus!!

I just missed your question.

The installation master DVD is : 51039991.

Thanks,

Rableen.

Hi Rableen,

Use the following command

cd /oracle/<SID>

ln -sf 11202 /oracle/SLM/112_64

Dear All,

Thanks for your reply.

Finally we resolved the issue by OS level mounting. Both the location /oracle/SID/112_64 and /oracle/SID/11202 were mounted and the installation continoued.

Best regards,

Rableen.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

in your case:/oracle/SID/112_64 and /oracle/SID/11202

how to mount that?

[shanakac]

I had a same situation like this and tried below steps to solve the issue I faced.

Goto Oracle_HOME- /oracle/SID Create a symbolic link to /oracle/SID/11204 with name 112_64 under /oracle/SID Execute below command in oracle Home Directory.

ln -s /oracle/SID/11204 112_64

for 12c change the name "112_64" as "121"

[former_member184628]

Hi All,

Also I have found that after login in the ORACLEHOME displays value as /oracle/SID/112_64 but while running root.sh with root user it shows that the Oracle home is set to /oracle/SID/11202.

I guess the problem is here that I made a mistake while installing Oracle, I have given the path for Oracle software location as /oracle/SID/11202 instead of /oracle/SID/112_64.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thnaks,

Rableen

Usually you wouldn't need to enter any path manually if you used the installation script provided by the installation media, please check the note.
