Oracle Database Installation
In the context of installing a SAP system underlying Oracle Database software, install (bin-
aries/executables install) is required. This can be done ahead of the time or it can be done
during the course of the SAP installation. In this chapter we will cover Oracle installation as
part of a SAP install process. However, installing Oracle Database software ahead of time
will save time on the SAP install. Regardless of the option chosen, basic installation and
patching of Oracle Database is the same. 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.
The following figures and illustrations show how Oracle software is installed. During the
course of the SAP installation, the sapinst program will stop as shown in
Figure 19-2
and
ask the administrator to perform the Oracle install.
