After you installed the Oracle database software, proceed with the database instance

installation by choosing 'OK' in this dialog box.

./RUNINSTALLER

oracle_stage is not set (OK)

oracle_home_name is not set (OK)

oracle_inst_group is not set (OK)

Working in /oracle/stage/102_32/database/SAP ...

Hi

Finaly find the issue, due to my JAVA environment setting for csh.

Corrected as following:

setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_16

setenv PATH $:$/bin

Have you tried to log on ora<sid> directly?

If not, don't switch(su - ora<sid>) user from root but just try to logon with user ora<sid> in your screen of terminal directly.

Thanks,

Matt

Something is hosed...

Check

/etc/csh.cshrc

/etc/csh.login

for possible problems/syntax errors - it's difficult to help without seeing what's in those files...

However, you can switch to bash as shell and use that one - will work too.

Switch shell to bash:

orassm:x:502:503:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/SSM:/bin/bash

[root@csp-p-sm00 ~]# su - orassm

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 ~]$

But when try to run ./RUNINSTALL

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 SAP]$ ./RUNINSTALLER

oracle_stage is not set (OK)

oracle_base is not set (OK)

oracle_home is not set (OK)

oracle_sid is not set (OK)

oracle_home_name is not set (OK)

oracle_inst_group is not set (OK)

from_location is not set (OK)

tmp_netca_file is not set (OK)

tmp_dbca_file is not set (OK)

Hello

I've proceed to a new installation with RHEL 5 instead of RHEL 4

OS: RHEL 5 (32bits)

DB: Oracle

Met the same error on Phase 8 of 44 / Install database server software

[root@csppsm00 ~]# su - orassm

Bad : modifier in $ ($).

[orassm@csppsm00 ~]$

can it be due to the java setting or version ?

Any ideas or support to help me ?

Regards

Eric

What shell did you select for the user during installation? Did you create the user before or did sapinst create the user?

Markus

Hi

I've never created Users and Groups by myself, i've only use SAPINST and nothing to do or using Additional Preparation Users and Groups / Operation System Users and Groups.

Shell used in csh

Regards

Eric

do not install as ROOT but as given user ora<SID>.

- Open a new shell

- su - ora<SID>

- setenv DISPLAY <IP>

then step to /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP and execute

./RUNINSTALLER

Hi

I logon with ora<SID>but witch file must be set with the environment variable ORACLE_HOME ?

$HOME\.sapenv_<HOSTNAME>.csh

$HOME\.sapenv_<HOSTNAME>.sh

$HOME\.profile

???

Thx

Eric

Usually it´s not necessary to modify this files. If you follow the installation guide, the user ora will have all the necessary environment set after sapinst prompts you to install the database.

If you logged on earlier with this user (before the environment was set) - logout and login again and then execute ./RUNINSTALLER in the SAP subdirectory.

Markus

When I connect as ora<SID> I've the following error ? Bad : modifier in $ ($).

[root@csppsm02 ~]# su - orassm

Bad : modifier in $ ($).

[orassm@csppsm02 ~]$

I start ./RUNINSTALL from . /oracle/stage/102_32/database/SAP but same error

Something went wrong during installation - you get an error message from your .profile/.cshrc....

What shell does this user have in /etc/passwd?

Markus

Hi

/etc/passwd for ora<SID>

orassm:x:502:503:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/SSM:/bin/csh

I've created users ans groups via SAPINST : Additional Preparation Users and Groups / Operation System Users and Groups

Regards

Eric

Hello

I've completely restart OS + SAP installation :

- following "install guide inst_solman_40_sr3_lnx_ora" and sap note 722273

- phase 8 of 44 " install database server software"

SAPinst now stops the installation.

To proceed with the installation, install the Oracle database as follows:

Log in as user orassm.

Set the DISPLAY variable.

Change to directory /oracle/stage/102_32/database/SAP.

Start './RUNINSTALLER'.

After you installed the Oracle database software, proceed with the database instance installation by choosing 'OK' in this dialog box.

Same issue when login with ora<SID>

su - orassm

Bad : modifier in $ ($)

/etc/passwd

ssmadm:x:501:502:SAP System Administrator:/home/ssmadm:/bin/csh

orassm:x:502:503:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/SSM:/bin/csh

Regards

Eric

Try the following to find out the statement that seems to be wrong:

su - orassm

csh -x .cshrc

Markus

Hi

su - orassm

Bad : modifier in $ ($).

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 ~]$ csh -x .cshrc

Bad : modifier in $ ($).

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 ~]$

Same issue with <SID>adm

Eric

What happens if you change your default shell to Tenex C-Shell? change the shell to /bin/tcsh in /etc/passwd and try again.

Never seen that problem before...

Markus

Same error with shell /bin/tcsh

ssmadm:x:501:505:SAP System Administrator:/home/ssmadm:/bin/csh

orassm:x:502:503:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/SSM:/bin/tcsh

[root@csp-p-sm00 ~]# su - orassm

Bad : modifier in $ ($).

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 ~]$

Work for /bin/bash

ssmadm:x:501:505:SAP System Administrator:/home/ssmadm:/bin/csh

orassm:x:502:503:SAP Database Administrator:/oracle/SSM:/bin/bash

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 ~]$ su - orassm

Password:

[orassm@csp-p-sm00 ~]$

Hi,

Please use set env ORACLE_HOME= PATH.
