Installation 235 SAP Basis Installation on UNIX: Oracle Database SAP AG 10 July 2000 SAP Basis Installation on UNIX: Oracle Database Purpose This documentation explains how to install the SAP System on a UNIX operating system when your database is Oracle. Throughout this documentation, the term SAP System is the same as SAP Basis System. Also, SAP stands for SAP Basis in terms such as SAP profile or SAP instance. You c an install t he following types of standard SAP Systems: • Central system, in which the centr al ins tance and th e database instance are on the same hos t m achine • Standalone database system, in whic h the centr al ins tance and the database ins tance are on different hos t machines You als o ins tall dialog and gateway ins tances and ad diti onal compone nts . The ins tallation of frontends for the SAP System is described separately in the documentation Installing SAP Frontend Software for PCs. Read the ins tallation not es before beginning the ins tallation. These not es conta in the m ost recent inf ormation r egarding t he ins tallation, as well as corrections to the ins tallatio n documentatio n. Make sure that you have the most recent ver sion of each no te. You can find the SAP Notes by using SAPNet - R/3 Front end.
