Delete Oracle database software

[Former Member]

Hi people,

I´ve uninstalled a central instance, now I want to uninstall the database software, but in the installation guide in chapter 6 (Additional information) It says the next:

The Oracle software is installed on all hosts where an SAP instance is running, for example, on a central instance host, database host, or dialog inst ance host. Do not delete t he Oracle database software, if another SAP inst ance is running on the same host.

But the uninstalled instance was in the oracle home --> oracleCH1102 and the other instance that is up and running is in another oracle home --> oraclePES102. I have to follow the guide or can uninstall the oracle database software because in your oracle home there aren´t any instance up and running?

More thanks

Hello,

Please follow the guide.

If you will uninstall the database software then it will impact the oracle instance PES as well.

However you can think of removal/uninstallation of only the oracle instance CH1.

Even when each system oracle sap in their own oracle home?

Hello,

Yes, just remove/de-install the particular oracle home CH1.

When you will invoke Oracle universal installer program, select de-install option and select the particular oracle home - for e.g. /oracle/CH1...

Thanks

hi,

make a backup for your oracle central directory before any detachment.

if your oracle version is 11g, you can no longer launch OUI to detach oracle home. please have a look on Note 1525025 - Oracle 11.2.0: Oracle Software Deinstallation.

Cheers,

Thanks,

then If I select the oracle home in the OUI for uninstall, It should´t to modify the binaries or installation of the other oracle homes in the same machine,no?

Yes correct, it wouldn't modify/affect other oracle homes.

Thanks
