IDES ECC 6 Setup : sapinst and Oracle services

[Former Member]

Hello,

I 'm on SAP IDES ECC preparation steps (network conf, Win 2k3 DLLs update, SWAP, JDK...) when i get to oracle setup i followed the guide ( using the sapsrv.cmd, i entred the SID, the Disk drive of oracle....)

After the oracle setup finishes, theOracle Net Configuration Assistant didn't run and Oracle installation seemed to finish successfully,

In the guide they said if the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant run, i have to choose "Typical Installation", but it didn't run.

After this step, i moved to Oracle patching step even i felt that somehting is missing, but i don't know what,;

After that i went to Windows Services i noticed that there is no Oracle service there, because following the guide i have to stop Oracle Agent, oracle Lister and the MS TDC to patch oracle, Even that i Run Oracle Universal installer setup i have in the Oracle patch folder, it finished with Oracle Patch Set Successefelly installed message,

After That, i used sapinst to run preprequisites check process, for ABAP stack installation, it said that everything is OK,

i Run again the sapisnt, i noticed that there is no ABAP Central Instance Nodes in the sapinst first screen, it proposes only Dialog Instances,

So i thought about the step of Oracle, maybe sapinst didn't detect required installation of oracle ( missing services or Environment variables...),

Do sapinst really proposes installation nodes in it's first screen depending of what it detects in the machine?

How can i detect and i fix the problem, in order to continue the currend installation?

OS = Win 2003 SP2 English, 32bit,

DB= Oracle 10g

SAP System = SAP ECC IDES 6

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,

I suspect the problem of missing Central Instance entry in SAPInst is due to your OS/hardware. Because irrespective of the Oracle installation issue, atleast the entry should come up. If issue, then SAPInst should report an issue during installation.

Entry itself not showing up is a different issue. Which Installation DVDs are you using for the IDES installation?

If the DVDs are based on Netweaver 7.0 SR3, then 32 bit platforms are not supported SR3 onwards for central instance installation. You need a 64 bit platform. Hence only dialog instance option is shown.

Hi,

Yes, you could safely follw the blog steps. As mentioned the Data from the IDES export would be platform independent. Just that you need an Installation program which is compatible to your hardware/OS. Downloading a 32-bit Installation Master having SAPInst and feeding it with the IDES Export DVDs should address your issue.

The Installation master DVD you need to download should be below SR3 release. It would show you the Central Instance installation option.

All the best
