Standard Single Host Installation of SAP ERP 6 EHP8 using Oracle DB 19c on Oracle Linux Host

[HemantVaswani]

Hi Friends,

I am building a fresh SAP ECC system using the ERP 6 EHP8 using Oracle DB 19c.

Cloud Environment: AWS EC2 instance type r5.8xlarge (32vCPU and 256GB RAM.

OS : Oracle Linux 8.9 x86_64 (AWS AMI - ami-076b18946a12c27d6)

I have arranged the following disk partitions

I have updated the OS packages and installed the following:

Unzip, nfs-utils, awscliv2, uuidd,

Performed prerequisites check using the SWPM (sapinst) for

SAP Business Suite 7i 2016 > EHP8 for SAP ERP 6 ABAP > Oracle >Preparations

Installed the Oracle 19c software remotely by using the mobaxterm utility, ssh session & x11 forwarding.

Further proceeded for installation using the SWPM (sapinst) for

SAP Business Suite 7i 2016 > EHP8 for SAP ERP 6 ABAP > Oracle >Installation> Application Server ABAP>Standard System >Standard System

Installed the Oracle DB exports using patch from

Maintained the same SID as for the DB software.

Almost during the end of “define parameters” phase of SWPM process, I am getting the following message.

An error occurred while processing option SAP Business Suite 7i 2016 > EHP8 for SAP ERP 6.0 ABAP > Oracle > Installation > Application Server ABAP > Standard System > Standard System (Last error reported by the step: Execution of the command "rsecssfx/rsecssfx generatekey -keyId 20240516_172333_SBX_INSTALLER -getPlainValueToConsole" finished with return code 1. Output: rsecssfx/rsecssfx: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by rsecssfx/rsecssfx)).

You can now:

Choose Retry

to repeat the current step.

Choose Log Files

to get more information about the error.

Stop the option and continue later.

Log files are written to /tmp/sapinst_instdir/BS2016/ERP608/ORA/INSTALL/STD/ABAP.

Hi,

I don't know to which repository you are connected with this Oracle Linux, but it looks like the "compat-sap-c++" was not updated correctly or the repo is out-of-sync.

Would be great to know how exactly the "compat-sap-c++" was installed. Did you follow point "On OL 8 systems: (only with SAP Kernel 754)" of below SAP note?

 3119751 - Linux Requirements for SAP Kernel 754 and for SAP Kernel 788 and higher

[HemantVaswani]

Hi,

After refering the SAP note 3119751, I downloaded the following file from Oracle enterprise support portal :

compat-sap-c++-10-10.2.1-11.0.3.el8.src.rpm

However while installing this package, I got this warning message:

warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root.

warning: group mock does not exist - using root.

I presume the package is installed.

Kindly suggest. If possible can you please try to share the package here since it's a small filesize. 

Thank you 

Hemant

I have created the user mockbuild and added the  user mock.

executed rpm -i compat-sap-c++-10-10.2.1-11.0.3.el8.src.rpm, didn't receive any error nor any message of installation completed.

However, even after freshly starting the SWPM installation, the error message remains same.
