I've installed Atrium Web Services 7.6 Patch 1 on an Oracle 11 database; I don't think it's a RAC though.
Are you installing this on a separate server/zone as per BMC recommendation? If so, Have you got the Oracle client installed on the Solaris box? Have you set the Oracle variables in the profile of the user you are installing under, e.g. export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/client10g export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin With these set the installer should be able to find the tnsnames.ora file. I guess the tnsnames.ora file contains the connection that you entered the SID for?
