Re: oracle installation on AIX pls help

Hi Nilesh,

I believe that you are facing problem with the user. I think you are trying to run the installer as root or someother user. First part, Check whether you have created an Oracle user and included this in to DBA group.Secondly, Login as "Oracle" user and try running the runinstaller.sh, it should work. Even I had similar kind of problem and could resolve the issue by doing this. Let us know if any further problems exists.

reg,
Anant
