lsnrctl: Parameter dbHome has to be a valid ORACLE_HOME.

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am installing the SAP Netweaver 2004 SP13 on Solarsi with Oracle as the backend database.

The installation started sucessfully .

even Oracle (9.2 with patch )was installed sucessfully.

But during the 10th step ,

Database Network Configuration.

I got the following error:

ERROR 2006-11-07 18:20:49 CJS-00030 Assertion failed: lsnrctl: Parameter dbHome has to be a valid ORACLE_HOME.

My Oracle home is at

JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_08

ORACLE_HOME=/local/home/oraj2e/OraHome1/

ORACLE_SID=orcl

What can be the problem

the SID used for Oracle is ORCL

the users created are oraj2e and j2eadm

Can the differnt SID be the problem

Hi Manoj,

Sorry I detailed the account names incorrectly. The users you have look syntactically correct.

How do you mean that the oracle SID is different, it should be the same as the app SID.

Did you install the database prior to installing the app?

You can do this but you need to ensure that it is installed correctly and the users environment variables are set up correctly. Normally the installer will do this for you.

Have you checked the permissions on the file systems and ensured that they are readable by the admin users?

Are you able to start the listener?

Hi Manoj,

Have you checked that the variable is set correctly for the users?

use the env command to see what variables have been set for your users <sid>ora and <sid>adm

If you use these users can you execute lsnrctl?

Also check permissions on the oracle home directory, ensure that your users have permission to read the contents.

if required use chmod to adjust.
