Hi All,
I am in the process of installing NW 7.4 SR1 on Oracle 11.2.0.3... Completed the pre-requisite check & went through the steps normally till the prompt for installation of Oracle database software. Installed the database software successfully and restarted sapinst. Now, when I try to proceed from the Oracle database step, I get the below error (screenshot attached as well).
Oracle database software is not yet installed.
SOLUTION: Install the Oracle database software using the RUNINSTALLER.
Can someone please advise any solution on how to move forward?
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Amer.
Hello
Create a folder 112_64 under /oracle/SID
You don' need to to create a directory called 112_64 under /oracle/SID instead it should be a symbolic link. You install Oracle under /oracle/SID/11203 file system. To create a symbolic link follow this.
su - orasid
cd /oracle/SID
ln -s 11203 112_64
A directory by the name of Oracle exists with the below permissions.
drwsr-s--x 2 oragpr dba 96 Feb 18 17:10 oracle
Within this Oracle directory, there is an Oracle file with following permissions.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oragpr dba 553609648 Feb 18 17:10 oracle
The installation of Oracle is not done properly. The oracle should be a binary file and not a directory.
Delete everything under /oracle/SID/11203
Create the symbolic link as suggested above.
Re-install Oracle and after this the SAP installer will work for sure.

RB

Hi All,
The issue has been resolved. I deleted everything under /oracle/SID/11203, recreated the soft link and restarted the Oracle installer but got the below error.
Please use another Oracle home
Therefore, I additionally deleted the oraInventory directory under /oracle and was able to install Oracle successfully. Re-executed ./sapinst and this time, was able to proceed further. Right now, the import ABAP phase is being executed.
Many thanks to all who replied to my post and tried to help. Appreciate the guidance!
Kind regards,
Amer.

Hi Abhi,
I have followed the steps in the guide. To install the software, I used the ora<sid> user. I believe it is not possible to login to Oracle at this time as the database is not populated but when I tried, I got the below error.
xxxxxrd1:oragpr 1> sqlplus /nolog
sqlplus: Command not found.
Before I wrote this post on the forum, I also simulated re-installing the Oracle software but got the error
"Oracle is already installed in home /oracle/XXX/11203. Please use another home to install Oracle database software".
Kind regards,
Amer.

Hi Amer,
As per the logs
TRACE 2014-02-19 11:16:15.650
NWDBora._isDbSwInstalledOnUnix(found filename: /oracle/GPR/112_64/bin/sqlplus)
TRACE 2014-02-19 11:16:15.650
WARNING: file not found: /oracle/GPR/112_64/bin/oracle
Could you check whether /oracle/GPR/112_64/bin/oracle exists. If yes, what is the permission on this file.

Hi Deepak,
A directory by the name of Oracle exists with the below permissions.
drwsr-s--x 2 oragpr dba 96 Feb 18 17:10 oracle
Within this Oracle directory, there is an Oracle file with following permissions.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oragpr dba 553609648 Feb 18 17:10 oracle
I feel something is wrong here. The QA system that I installed previously without any errors does NOT have an Oracle directory. Rather, it only has an Oracle file with permissions as under.
-rwsr-s--x 1 oragqa dba 553609648 Feb 4 09:40 oracle
The difference between both files that I can see is the execution permission. The QA file has -rws while the PRD one has -rwx. Any idea what may be wrong where?
Kind regards,,
Amer.
