Summary :
SAP Note advises configurations for Oracle 11g integration with Unix-based SAP NetWeaver using Oracle RAC and ASM. Important steps include the installation of Oracle software following best practices outlined in specified Oracle White Papers. For effective BR*Tools operation, version 7.20 patch 14 is required; higher patches support ASM. Unix environments necessitate specific user (oracle) and group (oinstall) for installation, affecting BR*Tools standard configurations and necessitating ownership adjustments of crucial directories and executables to ensure access and functional integrity. The note also addresses modifications in permissions and environment variables required under various conditions, emphasizing role-based access controls on AIX systems. Caution is advised for configurations on IBM AIX 6.1 or higher to avoid errors.
