Oracle: oui is valid but for a machine type other than current

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am installing SAP ERP 6 on a Windows 2008 r2 server. I have Intel Xeon CPUs 64bits. However, as I start "oracle Universal Installer" (ou)i on it, I got a message that says "that oui is valid but for a machine type other than current". I guess is beacuse of the CPU, but I am not completely sure,

Thank you in advanced for your help

Hello Domingo,

You have opened other 2 threads with the same question:

http://scn.sap.com/message/13353029
http://scn.sap.com/message/13352966

Try to keep your questions only in one space.

Checkin the PAM we can see only X64 machines are supported.

Hi, Eduardo, I will try not to open more than a thread at once.

Anyway as I post above, my machine is a 64 bits. On PAM it is said that Oracle 10.2 on a Windows 2008 server r2 (on a 64 release) is possible for ERP 6.0, so what´s wrong?

Thanks again

Hi Domingo,

Oracle 10.2 is out of support, you should install the latest version that is 11.2.0.3.

Maybe you have downloaded by mistake a 32bits version of the OUI that cannot run on X64 platform

Thanks Yves,

I did that and it worked but again (now in the Sapinst exe ) it seems that the software finds AMD  64bits processors instead of Intel Xeon 64bits¿?

Can you help me on that? May I keep on telling the installer to take AMD configuration?

No problem on that point, for SAP Intel or AMD are just the same (x64).

[Former Member]

Hi Yves, are toy sure about that? The sapinst don´t let me keep on:

Archive E:/NW70-Kernel/51039652/DATA_UNITS/K_720_U_WINDOWS_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPCRYPTO.SAR is not a valid SAPCRYPTO.CAR archive for architecture NTAMD64. SOLUTION: Enter the path to a correct archive file

As you see, it wants the SAPCRYPTO for AMD....

Thank you again,

Hi Domingo,

All the Windows installations I made were on Intel CPU and I never had such problem.

SAP labels some packages NTAMD64 because historically AMD was the first to came out with a 64 bits processor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_64).

The media must be wrong but for another reason than processor archi.

What Netweaver version are you installing (700, 701, 702...) ?

If you are installing ECC6 without any Ehp you are in NW 700 and you should install a 700 kernel and after upgrade to a 720 kernel.

I'm not sure it is possible to jump directly to 720 with sapinst, thus the media you should use is :

51033508_15 NW 7.0 SR3 UC-Kernel 7.00 Windows Server on x64 64bit

Hi Yves, and thanks for your speed:

It is a n ERP 6.0 EHP5 with 7.0 Kernel

My CPUs are Xeon x5675 64bis...

[Former Member]

Do not worry about CPU...

Ehp5 is running on NW 702 thus the media should be :

51039352_8 BS7i2010 UC-Kernel 7.20 Windows Server on x64 64bit

and not 51039652

I tried this:

Sapinst asks for  Path to SAPCRYPTO.SAR:

(I entered the 3 options but didn`t suceed. But I see it asks for a ".SAR" file instead of ".CAR". Could this be the problem? )

Here are the messages:

Option 1

Archive E:/NW70-Kernel/51039652/DATA_UNITS/K_720_U_WINDOWS_IA64/DBINDEP/SAPCRYPTO.SAR is not a valid SAPCRYPTO.CAR archive for architecture NTAMD64. SOLUTION: Enter the path to a correct archive file.

Option 2

Archive E:/NW70-Kernel/51039652/DATA_UNITS/K_720_U_WINDOWS_I386/DBINDEP/SAPCRYPTO.SAR is not a valid SAPCRYPTO.CAR archive for architecture NTAMD64. SOLUTION: Enter the path to a correct archive file.

Option 3

Archive E:/NW70-Kernel/51039652/DATA_UNITS/K_720_U_WINDOWS_X86_64/DBINDEP/SAPCRYPTO.SAR is not a valid SAPCRYPTO.CAR archive for architecture NTAMD64. SOLUTION: Enter the path to a correct archive file.

Thanks again Yves. May be I should take the new Kernel as you said

Hi,

Have you try to download the sapcrypto in SMP?

SAP Software Download Center -> Installation and Upgrade ->  Browse our Download Catalog-> SAP CRYPTOGRAPHIC SOFTWARE

Thanks,

You might have miss typed the media ref of the kernel, I cannot find any '51039652' package on SMP.

You should get media 51039352 or try as Nicholas said to directly download crypto package.

You should use X86_64 only

.SAR and .CAR are 2 possible extendions for SAP archives.

[Former Member]

Ooooo sorry, yes  I copied 51039652  as 51039352 at the beginning of installation. But does not matter.

Finally, I decided to skip this point and keep on without installing...

Thank you both!!!

See you
