Oracle Instalation error (You do not have sufficient permissions to access)

[Former Member]

Hi

my enviroment is SAP ECC6/Oracle 10g/ SUN Solaris 10 SPARC

I'm installing SAP but run into the error below. I don't understand why the inventory file is pointing to /home/prodora which does not exist. this directory is owned by root and ownership cannot be changed to user oraq11.

Is it possible to change the location of the inventory ?

kindly assist

regards

You do not have sufficient permissions to access the inventory +'/home/prodora/oraInventory'.+ Installation cannot continue. Make sure that you have read/write permissions to the inventory directory and restart the installer.: No such file or directory

Hi,

Yes, Solution describe in 350251 - Creating a New or 2nd Oracle SID with runInstaller

"THE SOLUTION"

The good news is the solution is very simple and takes a few seconds

First cd /var/opt/oracle

You will find a file called oraInst.loc # cat oraInst.loc

inventory_loc=/oracle/PR1/oraInventory

inst_group=dba

Use vi or emacs to edit the file and change the inventory_loc to the directory of the oracle instance you are currently installing. ie inventory_loc=/oracle/PR2/oraInventory

Restart your oracle installer eg. su - orapr2

cd /oracle/stage/816_64

setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0

./runInstaller

I believe you created the ora<SID> users by hand and not by sapinst?
