But the servers are new, I do not understand because it detects a database, when I have not installed anything yet.

We appreciated your help.

Best regards,

Erika

Is there an Oracle database installed here? Maybe that could be the reason. But this is found under the root user environment variables. Moreover these values cannot be considered for SAP installation as they are not based on SAP recommendations. As you are doing a distributed installation (DB on different host and I assume that you provided the correct hostname for the database) you should now connect to the DB host and check for any existing Oracle installations. Is the hostname for Oracle is alester? Check if there is another database installed.
