sap ecc6.0 installation struck with share_pool_size problem

[Former Member]

hello gurus,

I am tying to install SAP ECC 6.0 IDES on win 2003 SERVER WITH ORACLE.

I AM DOING IT IN A VMWARE AND I HAVE ONLY 2 GB RAM AND 340 GB HDD.

Installation stopped at import abap phase, 14 jobs completed and 4 failed

i had checked the log, and it says "unable to allocate 4108 bytes of shared memory"

I searched the forums, and came to know that it is a "SHARED_POOL_SIZE" problem.

i had only 85 MB of shared pool, so i changed the size from ORACLE DIRECTRY

in file INITSID.ORA: SHARED_POOL_SIZE 85 mb to 400mb manually and saved it. restarted the system and started DB and installation.

but now it shows a new error " CONNECT FAILED WITH SQL ERROR 1034 "

i had checked the services of oracle they are running fine.

any suggestions

Hi,

INITSID.ORA is the installation template file. As you already entered the loadphase, I doubt, that

it will chang anything to edit this file at this stage.

Login with "sqlplus / as sysdba" and issue

show parameter shared_pool

to validate that your corrected value is active.

If not, change %ORACLE_HOME%\database\init<SID>.ora and restart the DB.

And as already said, runnning SAP with 2 GB of RAM aint no fun at all,

allthough it will do, as long as you run ABAP only and have enough swap. But given that you will need

~400-600MB for OS

200MB db_cache

250MB shared_pool (now way to use SPAM with that value, this is just to click around)

200MB pga

300MB ABAP programbuffer (no fun)

A couple of MB for other buffers.

A couple of MB for program memory.

So there is not much left for stuff like extended memory, so every click, that retrieves some data

will bring you directly into paging.

Hi,

You must use at least 4GB RAM for SAP.
