SAP Database installation on Oracle ASM database

[#1]

Hi Experts,

I have successfully installed the oracle software 11g of oracle ASM database and its been installed as per my previous oracle softwares with oracle:oinstall user and group.

Now I am installing the DB instance before that I am performing ASM preparation. As a part of that I have choseen the general options ->

oracle-> DB tools->

RAC/ASM/EXadata database isntance preparation ABAP - Kernel 7.4X ->

Database identification section given the new DB sid and selected the single instance on Oracle ASM ->

DB administration (OS User) password given ->

home directory somehow choosen as /home/orasid - but changed manually it to /home/oracle/ but we do not have any user called orasid in server. we have only oracle and sidadm of system.

we have started installing with root user but really wondering how it got it picked up orasid. 

Apart from this in SWPM Sp08 there is one option to choose to install with orasid/oracle - so we can choose with oracle but in SWPM SP17 there is no option such like this.

We cant use SWPM SP08 as we need Kernel 7.4X which was not appearing in SWPM SP8.

Kindly suggest me here ?

Your kind help much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi ,

To answer your questions, 1 by 1,

how it got it picked up orasid:-

Generally whatever you set the database password, when accepted(Note:generally database password should not contain @ in between the password), that password remains stored in the table called SAPUSER, which the WorkProcesses retrieves to connect to the Underlying databse.

Does it contain any impact of the systems ?

As you have mentioned that you have manually changed, so while using the corresponding files of database, it might show error like not getting the data properly. For this matter, there is a helpful content in the below,
