[Former Member]

_Post thread reason_

I have only Windows 2008 R2 while it's not officially certified by SAP. See Note 1383873.And I have no other version Windows system. I faced problem to install SAP on this platform. I think someone maybe need this help

Root Cause

It's compatible issue. Please PAY SPECIAL NOTE THAT THIS IS JUST FOR TEST CASE. IT CAN BE USED FOR DEMO & TEST CASE. any production should be certified by SAP or ORACLE. For my case, I just make it happen. I cannot assure your production run well. It JUST WORK. Not assured.

How do I fix this issue

Check message from www.google.com and service.sap.com/notes

Solution

1 download the proper Oracle 10G installation CD. You should download this version Oracle as below

ZIP 51036975 ORACLE 10.2.0.4 Failsafe Server 3.4.1.5 Windows 2008 Info 1094024 06.04.2009

This CD contains proper oracle installation image

2 Edit two files and then you can eliminate Oracle installation issue

File 1

..\51036975
NT\AMD64\database\stage\prereq\db\refhost.xml

add following lines

<OPERATING_SYSTEM>

<VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>

</OPERATING_SYSTEM>

File 2

..\51036975
NT\AMD64\database\install\oraparam

Change following lines

[Certified Versions]

#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE

Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0

as these lines

[Certified Versions]

#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE

Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1

Add following lines at proper position

[Windows-6.1-required]

1. Minimum display colours for OUI to run

MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS = 256

1. Minimum CPU speed required for OUI

2. CPU = 300

SPECIAL NOTE, the last edit line please reference the ORAPARMINI FILE Format, The [Windows-6.1-required] format is wrong .Seems SAP POST cannot write correctly, I don't know why. Add the line to be similar with other record. FAINT

There is a 'quote' button above the edit field, if you press the

button the text will be posted without "interpreting" it.
