Sapinst: Database Instance: Oracle Client not installed? Listener not found

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm installing a Database Instance (NW7.0 ABAP) on Solaris SPARC with Oracle 10g. During installation sapinst terminates with the following error code. Installation is done as root. In my opinion the oracle client should get extracted by sapinst but it isn't. The directories for oracle are adapted in order to meet customer needs:

ORACLE_HOME: /orasoft/ora10g/SID/102

Oracle Stage Directory: /oracle/sap_orasoft/

Sapdata Home Directory: /oracle/SID/

Do you have any hints?

Thank you and kind Regards,

Raphael

did you install Oracle prior to start the installation of the SAP system?

Hi Raphael,

I am getting the same error while installing 4.7(Production) on windows 2003 server, database 9.2 and oracle client 10.2. If have the solution kindly reply.

Hi,

the error message you get has nothing to do with the oracle client.

The problem is the environment variable ORACLE_HOME.

Please set it to /oracle/<SID>/102_nn and try again (nn = 32 for 32-bit system or 64 for a 64-bit system).

Regards,

Konstantina
