sapinst homogeneous system copy Oracle error

[former_member204618]

Hi All,

I'm trying out a sap system copy using an export of a ERP 6 SPS27 on Oracle 12c on Linux.

However before I get to the Summary page it errors :-

An error occurred while processing option SAP Business Suite 2005 > SAP ERP 6.0 Support Release 3 > Software Life-Cycle Options > System Copy > Oracle > Target System Installation > Distributed System > Based on AS ABAP > Database Instance( Last error reported by the step: Assertion failed: in function (role, readAccountData) { if (readAccountData === undefined) { readAccountData = true; } NWUsers.trace("NWUsers.getAccountData(", role, ")"); this._initAccountData(); ASSERT(arguments.callee, this.haveAccountData(role), "role " + role + " is not created yet."); var ad = this._readAccountDataFromKeydb(role); if (readAccountData) { ad = this._readAccountData(ad); } var masterpwd = this.getMasterPassword(); if (ad.password == "" && this._useMasterPasswordForAccountData(ad) && ad.type == "USER" && masterpwd !== undefined && role != NWUsers.roles.J2EEGuest && !ad.locked) { ad.password = masterpwd; } NWUsers.trace("NWUsers.getAccountData(): ", dump_properties(ad)); return ad; } : role ORA_SID is not created yet.)

It's almost as if it's expecting the oracle groups and users to already exist, but I haven't got that far yet.

The fresh installation works just fine but not the system copy.

I am using the latest version of SWPM just downloaded.  It states it's Patch Level 2, however when I run ./sapinst -v I get this :-

SAPinst build information:

SAP JCo build: 3.0.14

This looks to not be patched!  Shouldn't it show "2016.06.2" ?

Any ideas?

Thanks

UPDATE

Scratch that, I've just tried an installation and same issue!

An error occurred while processing option SAP Business Suite 2005 > SAP ERP 6.0 Support Release 3 > SAP Application Server ABAP > Oracle > Distributed System > Database Instance( Last error reported by the step: Assertion failed: in function (role, readAccountData) { if (readAccountData === undefined) { readAccountData = true; } NWUsers.trace("NWUsers.getAccountData(", role, ")"); this._initAccountData(); ASSERT(arguments.callee, this.haveAccountData(role), "role " + role + " is not created yet."); var ad = this._readAccountDataFromKeydb(role); if (readAccountData) { ad = this._readAccountData(ad); } var masterpwd = this.getMasterPassword(); if (ad.password == "" && this._useMasterPasswordForAccountData(ad) && ad.type == "USER" && masterpwd !== undefined && role != NWUsers.roles.J2EEGuest && !ad.locked) { ad.password = masterpwd; } NWUsers.trace("NWUsers.getAccountData(): ", dump_properties(ad)); return ad; } : role ORA_SID is not created yet.).

I also thought perhaps I'd missed a step and so went back and selected Operating Systems and Groups but similar error!

UPDATE 2

Right so I tried all sorts and same issue every time.  Then thanks to this thread Installation error: role ORA_DBA is not created... | SCN I used command ./sapinst IS_HOST_LOCAL_USING_STRING_COMPARE=true I have got past this error.

Resolved as per SAP Note https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2281011/E and the thread I mentioned above.

Cheers
