SAPINST not detecting DB Server Version Oracle 11.2

[Former Member]

I'm trying to complete a homogeneous copy of our QA system back to a sandbox.

We have successfully completed this procedure in the past but since last time we have upgraded our Netweaver 2004s system (ECC 6.0) database from Oracle 10.2 to 11.2. When we run sapinst we get to a screen where database instance parameters are asked for. The tool finds the oracle 112 home but the DB version on the next line is pre-filled with 102. I can't change this in the drop drop down.

Should I be using a more up to date version of the Installation Master CD? If so, which one?

Currently we are using INST_MAST_51032260_13.

Thanks in advance.

you should use SWPM as your primary installation medium alias SLTOOLSET -> Software Logistic Toolset 1.0 -> System Privisioning Manager 1.0 SP6 -> Download Tool -> <your_os> -> and then either 70SWPM.. für Netweaver 7.0-based installations or SWPM... for newer ones...

Hi ,

You are using the installation master is not supporting Oracle 11.X. You can use Installation master D51040125 or use SWPM. I also faced the same issue and after used the installation master D51040125 then it was resolved.

Thanks everyone, I was able to get past this issue by downloading the DVD Installation Master part number 51043841 whos sapinst was able to recognize oraclke 11.2.

HI,

Please try to use the latest SAPINST . You can edit the xml files and change it. But you should be sure of the places where you need to change.

Hence IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use the latest SAPINST to get the oracle 112 version .

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Scott,

Can you try clicking on "revise" on the last screen? I think you will be able to select 112.

Hi Scott,

You may do the following

1) Look for control.xml & keydb.xml files in the installation master DVD or the installation directory.

2) Search for entries "102"

3) replace it with "112"

4) Save the file and re-start the sapinst process.

Sapinst will read the updated control.xml file and provide you with an option of oracle 11g installation.

Hi Scott,

yes your SAPINST (7.0 SR2) is too old. Direct Oracle 11g R2 installations are implemented and supported since NW 7.0 SR3 (Sapnote #1478350).
