Configuration Tasks for SAP systems below 6.40

Procedure
1. Edit the file <NEW_ORACLE_HOME>networkadminsqlnet.ora by inserting the line: tcp.nodelay = true 2. In the directory for 9.2.0, create the subdirectory SAP. From the Oracle RDBMS CD3, copy all the files from the directory :NTI386SAP to the new SAP directory. 3. Copy the init.dba and init.sap file from the old Oracle home to the new Oracle home. The location of the init.* files under the new Oracle Home is: DATABASE 4. The Database Upgrade Assistant switches the profile mechanism to the new SPFILE mechanism, which is not fully supported by SAP at the moment. Therefore we have to revert this step manually: a. Startup the database and run the following commands: sqlplus /nolog sqlplus> connect / as sysdba sqlplus> create pfile from spfile; sqlplus> exit b. Delete the file databaseSPFILE.ora. 5. Edit the init.ora file in DATABASE with the SAPPad editor as follows: a. Choose Options Save As NT TextFile b. Delete *. in front of the parameter names. You can achieve this by replacing *. in the whole document with nothing. c. Make sure that the following parameters point to the correct directory: o background_dump_dest has to point to <drive>:oraclesaptracebackground o core_dump_dest has to point to <drive>:oraclesaptracebackground o user_dump_dest has to point to :oraclesaptraceusertrace d. Search for the parameter compatible and set it from 8.1.7 to 9.2.0. The environment variable saptrace normally points to the directory :oraclesaptrace. If not, %sapdata_home%saptrace points to this directory. Be aware, that you cannot use the names saptrace or sapdata_home as environment variables in the init.ora file. For example you cannot use: user_dump_dest = '%saptrace%usertrace' or '$saptraceusertrace'. 6. Change the parameter values with the Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows NT Windows NT only: The Administration Assistant is not available if you have not installed the MMC. In releases prior to 4.5B, you can change the parameters in the Registry. Both procedures are explained in the following. Changing the Parameters with the Administration Assistant i. Start the Administration Assistant with Start Programs Oracle Configuration and Migration Tools Administration Assistant for Windows NT The Assistant opens.

ii. Choose Oracle Managed Objects Computers Oracle Homes iii. Open the context menu with the right mouse button and choose Properties. iv. In the Properties dialog box, change the entry for ORA__PFILE to: <NEW_ORACLE_HOME>DATABASEinit.ora v. Set the entry for ORA__AUTOSTART to FALSE and confirm with OK. Changing the Parameters in the Registry i. Choose Start Run and then enter regedit. ii. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE ORACLE Where iii. Change the parameters as required. 7. Start the Oracle Services, if not yet started. Set the startup type of OracleService and OracleTNSListener to automatic to ensure that they are automatically restarted after booting.
