Hi SAPers,
As part of the NW 7.3 Ehp Pk 1 Implementation Planning - based on Inst Guide, Master Guid and Several SAP Notes + Input From SAP through OSS , what
we conclude is :
It is Advised to Go for Oracle 11.2.0.3 with 720_EXT Kernel for EP NW 7.31 with HP-UX 11.31 ia64;
However
- Direct Installation with 7.20_EXT Kernel is not possible, you have to update the kernel Post Installation !
Q is
- If the base Kernel is not 7.20_EXT during installation and if we try to Install Oracle 11.2.0.3 - how the installation can proceed without any
glitch related to not having 7.20_EXT Kernel during the installation ?
so,
- Pl. provide your inputs from the experience of EP NW 7.31 Installation with Oracel 11.2.0.3 - How did it go ?
#1. Was the installation successfull with base kernel as NON - 720_EXT Kernel AND Oracle 11.2.0.3 on NW 7.31 Platform ?
#2. Was System up and running Post Installation without 720_EXT Kernel Update or Immediate post Installation 7.20_EXT Kernel Update is
must and THEN ONLY System will be up and running (- this is obvious as 720_EXT is must for Oracle 11.2.0.3 ) ?
Alternatively :
As per PAM -- only Oracle 11.2 ver. is mentioned i.e. Oracle 11.2.0.2 or Oracle 11.2.0.3 ( ..no Granular Version Compatibility is Mentioned at
all ! ) i.e. Oracle 11.2 is compatible.
#3. To get rid of the Dillema of " Oracle 11.2.0.3 must have 720_EXT Kernel " ..can we go for Oracle 11.2.0.2 on EP NW 7.31 ?
( As per the PAM Answer for # 3 would be Yes but, just want to know the experience and inputs from the SAPers who have installed
Oracle 11.2.0.2 without EXT Kernel on NW 7.31 Portal )
Appreciate your inputs.
Thank You,
Best Regards,
