NW 7.3 Installation - Oracle Database connection issue.

[p330068]

Dear SDN,

I am trying to install the SAP NW 7.3 but fail due the connection to oracle database. (My System details : Windows 7, 64 bit, 4gb ram - copyied NW7.3 server for 64 bit)

I hvae installed the Oracle database and client. I have checked and stated the services, updated the host file, started the database with SQL editor, checked the Oracle Enterprise Manager, all looks fine.

When I run the Sapinst, it finds the database but unable to process next due to connection error. error message looks like :

Cannot connect to jaiswal

Error(s) returned:

SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

SOLUTION: Check that you specified the correct name for the database server, that the server is running and you are authorized to log on to it.

Please advice on the issue.

Best Regards

Are you using Oracle or MS SQL for your installation media ?

The "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." seems to be MS SQL related.

Dear Vincent

I am using the Oracle as database. When I extract the part-1-5 folder for Oracle database and started the run the sapinst under extracted folder > data units > _MSS.

H Arun,

The MSS directory would imply MSSQL database for the installation. Perhaps the corresponding directory for Oracle should be chosen.

MSS stands for Microsoft SQL Server. I suppose you choose the wrong one.
