SAP 4.6D Kernel with Oracle 9.2.06

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have done a test install of SAP 4.6c with 4.6D kernel with Oracle 9.2 on Solaris 5.9 for a project. It is my first attempt at installing SAP and the procedure I took is as follows:

- Installed Oracle 9.2

- Applied Patch to 9.2.06

- installing SAP 4.6C with Kernel 4.6D.

Now the SAP installation asks about which database to install from a series of Oracle 8.1.x. It does not contain a list for Oracle 9.2.x. The project requirement was to have Oracle 9.2.06 with the SAP system mentioned above. However, i selected 8.1.7 and it attempts to create/access an Oracle directory with nothing in it. Is there any way i can tell SAP that Oracle DB is already installed and to use that. I am attempting a central instance installation with db and SAP on a single server machine. It would save me some time rather than installing oracle 8.1 then applying patches to bring it up to 9.2.06.

Hi Markus,

I have the SAPEXEDB.SAR file but it seems i cannot find the SAPEXE.SAR file on the list. could it be something to do with the maintenance from SAP or can i find it somewhere else?

Thanks,

Mani

You need to check the "database independent" part.

Hi all,

i have applied oss note 557255 as Markus has mentioned - Thanks!

The installation has gone as far as creating the data dictionary, tablespaces etc but when it logs into sql*plus and tries to run a file called oradbusr.sql which does not exist under <sapcd>/UNIX/SUNOS_64/. i found a copy on another system and ftp'd it across. but its giving error messages about some library it cannot find:

libclntsh.so.8.0

Oracle client 92x_64 is installed under /oracle/client/92x_64 and links are there to the library directory /oracle/<xxx>/920_64/lib and jdbc. The library directory contains libclntsh.so.9.0 and i don't know why it is not picking this up.

Does any one know why this might be the case.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Please install Oracle 8 and install SAP ... upgrade oracle

or

try to get oracle 8 library files and specify library path.

You are using the standard kernels from the CDs, those are linked against Oracle 8.

you need to download the 4.6D_EXT kernels as mentioned in the note. Download the newest SAPEXE and SAPEXEDB, unpack them into your kernel directory and repeat the installation step.

Check

557255 - Inst./Sys Copy. SAP Systems on UX/Oracle 9.2.0 with R3SETUP

You will need special CDs to install with Oracle 9.

Follow the informations given in the note.
