Install 11g (11.2.0.3) version

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Operating System: AIX

Dtabase used:  Oracle

we are using  one Solman Server ONLY. In this Solman Server , we have two database used namely IDS and SMI.

• SID used for Solution Manager is SMI . 
• SID used for IDOC is IDS.

Both the above SIDs ( SMI & IDS ) are installed in a single Solman Server.

/usr/sap/smi & /usr/sap/SMD

Currently we are doing fresh Solman installation 7.1  in SOLMAN Server ( thatis;   Inst. SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SR1 AIX - Oracle).

/oracle is the oracle base directory used for SMI and IDS . The below are the Files used in /oracle.

NOTE:  Before doing Solman installation, the SID used for Solman is SMD. Now we planned to change SID of Solman dfrom SMD to SMI.

Set the ORACLE_BASE according to this SAP note

1521371 - Oracle 11.2.0: Setting of ORACLE_BASE in SAP environments

su - orasid

setenv ORACLE_BASE /oracle/SID

Hello RB,

Thanks for the SOLUTION.

Already user home directory of orasmi  is /oracle/smi. Anyway we are proceeding with the Oracle installation by giving the oracle base directory as /oracle/SMI and user home directory also /oracle/SMI.

In  SAP Note # 1521371 , We have given the oracle base directory as
/oracle/SMI  and we are getting a Warning Message as

"INS-32008: Oracle base location cant be the same as the user home
directory".

But as mentioned in the SAP Note # 1521371, we are ignoring this warning and continued with the Oracle installation.

ALSO, Since we are not using SOLMAN as production System, We  have also taken the backup of below folders in /oracle for safer side. .
