Symptom

Other Terms

Reason and Prerequisites


The currently used Oracle Instant Client is not up-to-date.

Solution
1. Download the latest supported Oracle Instant Client (see also SAP note 819829) from SAP Service Marketplace at:
http://support.sap.com/software/databases.html > Oracle
a. Select one of the following:
n Oracle 12.1 Software (<your platform>) for the Oracle 12.1 Instant Client

n Oracle 11.2 Software (<your platform>) for the Oracle 11.2 Instant Client

n Oracle 10.2 Software (<your platform>) for the Oracle 10.2 Instant Client.

b. Choose Installation -> Microsoft Windows -> ORACLE database.


c. In the list of the downloadable objects, you can find Oracle Client <your Oracle version> DVD containing the archive named
OCL<RELEASE><WORDSIZE>.SAR e.g. OCL112164.SAR, OCL11264.SAR or OCL10264.SAR.

By default, the installation stores the Oracle Instant Client in the $(DIR_CT_RUN) directory. During the startup of an SAP instance, it is copied
to the $(DIR_EXECUTABLE) directory.

2. Delete the Oracle Instant Client:


Since the contents of a newer Oracle Instant Client might differ from the client version you are currently using, you first have to delete the
current Oracle Instant Client as follows:
a. Download deldbclient.vbs, which is included in the deldbclient.zip file attached to this SAP note.
b. Get the value of instance profile parameter DIR_EXECUTABLE for every application server instance and DIR_CT_RUN. For more
information, see SAP note 997848.
c. Stop all application servers, including the central instance.
d. On the central instance host, open a command prompt as <SAPSID>adm, change the current working directory to DIR_CT_RUN, and
run cscript.exe //nologo deldbclient.vbs in this directory.
If you use an MSCS configuration with SAP kernel release 700 and clustered SCS instances, the DIR_CT_RUN directory is located on
the SCS instance host.
e. Repeat the previous step on every application server instance DIR_EXECUTABLE directory.
Note: On SAP application servers with a kernel version lower than 700, the DIR_EXECUTABLE directory of the central instance might
be the same as DIR_CT_RUN.
3. Unpack the Oracle Instant Client using SAPCAR -xvf <OCL SAR Archive> as follows:
a. Open a command prompt on the host where DIR_CT_RUN is located.
b. Change the working directory to DIR_CT_RUN.
c. Unpack the Oracle Instance Client to this directory.
4. Start your SAP application servers.

The Oracle Instant Client is automatically distributed to the instance-specific DIR_EXECUTABLE directories.
