• If you intend to install Oracle and SAP on the same system, please, do not install the “Oracle Server Base” pattern (i.e. the “orarun” RPM package) on the system. Doing so, will prevent “sapinst” from doing a correct installation of the SAP system parts.
• If your SAP component requires the java jdk 1.4.2 you need to install the java JDK from the additional SDK media.
