Dear Victor,

please remove the sapinst_instdir/ECC04SR1/WEBAS_ABAP_ORA_UC/DB/REPOSRC.TSK from tmp folder and u can delete it in Safe Mode then you try to install db,

You´re saying that if you logon as ora and start RUNINSTALLER, then sapinst will stop?

Hi Victor,

Check ur Swap size, by which user loged on to system?

use SIDadm user.

Also may be a DVD dump problem.

Is it due to permission on folder .

Can you check the permission on

/tmp/sapinst_instdir/ECC04SR1/WEBAS_ABAP_ORA_UC/DB/REPOSRC.TSK

hope it help you..

Thanks

thanks

the permission is right , I have checked that,

the sequence of my installation is that:

1. central instance

2. oracle db

3. database instance

is my sequence right?

when I install the db instance, I get this error:can not create task file.

[markus_doehr2]

There can be (only) two reasons for this error:

- you filesystem is full

- permissions are incorrect

Try to

- logon as adm

- execute "touch /tmp/sapinst_instdir/ECC04SR1/WEBAS_ABAP_ORA_UC/DB/REPOSRC.TSK"

can you do that?

For the installation sequence this depends on the system you´re installing, you didn´t tell us, what you are trying to install. The easiest things is: read the installation guides.

Hi , thanks for your help

I have another question, when I use sidadm to install the db instance , I get the error: connection to sapinst broken

can you help me?

[markus_doehr2]

Victor,

the database instance must be installed using ora<SID> - please just read the installation guides.

Markus

I am not sure that which user should I use to install the db instance. someone say using sidadm , someone say using orasid, or root user?

and I read the install guide, it only says to intall oracle db using orasid. but do not refer that which user to install db instance?

thanks

> and I read the install guide, it only says to intall oracle db using orasid. but do not refer that which user to install db instance?

ora<sid> IS the user.

If you start sapinst and proceed until database installation, it will tell you in a box "login as user ora<sid>"...

The database is not installed before your start the installation with sapinst but during the installation.

Hi Victor,

maybe a dumb question from my side but did you check if there is enough free space left in your /tmp filesystem?

I have check the space, it is enough. Are there some patchs I must install?
