'm starting to think this is related to the way the installer connects to the Oracle installation, it's seems to be using an "oraload" file in the /tmp/xxxxx directory, however, my tsnames.ora seems to be broken so "oraload" replies an Oracle error code. Strange though that the second connection attempts works (when entering all credentials for the database), I'm guessing it must be using sqlplus and using a fixed string such as "sqlplus 'username/password@server/ID'. I will try to dig into this tomorrow.
######################################### I tried creating a new temp space, however, still the same message. ** Oh wait:: there is an additional feature:: if this is the issue with the temp space? There is a know issue since (I don't know when - 3 versions) that if you upgrade it requires you put in a NEW artmpspace and it must be created: and conveniently it will not delete the old one either: you cannot use existing table space for the artmpspace..

I fill out all information (regarding contact details and tables for the database), ARS 7.6.04 SP2 installer successfully establish contact with the database but tells me that an existing ARSystem table exis and my only valid options (which I can't find anywhere) are Upgrade, Overwrite and ServerGroup. And no - I'm always installing as root, however, after the installation is down I do a chown -R ars:ars on the entire /opt/bmc structure to run all services as user ars, however, installation always conducted as root. #################### Anders, I'm a little confused on your second email in response to Freds.. You said and I quote "it's says the only valid options are upgrade, overwrite and server group. I don't see upgrade anywhere". Upgrade is the first option that you see that you mentioned in that list followed by the statement that you donât see upgrade anywhere.. What's the first option then? Assuming your response was a typo, are you installing using the same UNIX system user as the previous install? If the user you are installing as is different and has no access to the installation directories as the previous user, I can see how it may not be able to read the previous installations configuration files. Was the previous installation a root install and you are now attempting a non root upgrade? Was the previous installation owned by some other non root user?

I don't see upgrade anywhere. I saw that when upgrading to 7.6.03 when I didn't re-type all the passwords into the installer. When I re-typed the passwords (even though it looked like it already knew them) it gave me the upgrade option. Apparently if it asks for the DBA info then it couldn't connect as the aradmin user.

Anyone have a suggestion on what might cause this?
