Oracle Database Installation for SAP

Oracle Database Installation for SAP

When Oracle Database software is installed, a starter database should not be created, because the SAP install process will create a database for the application and will load data into the tables

During the course of the SAP installation, the sapinst program will stop as shown in figure below and ask the administrator to perform the Oracle install.

When installing the Oracle software, the Oracle Universal Installer tool must be used. The following procedure should be followed before the Oracle Universal Installer tool is started.

Setenv DISPLAY <IP Address:0.0>
