I am migrating from sap ECC 6.0 EHP6 to EHP7 and am receiving the following error during the above phase. ERROR:The new SAP tools in X:\SUM\abap\exe cannot connect to your database. There are a couple of suggestions after this text all of which I have investigated. The Oracle 12.1.0.2 database is all ready running ssfs connection type and all parameters have been verified at the OS and instance level. The registry and the environment variables are set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII. I am not sure where SUM is picking up the AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8DEC value. I remember back in the days of sapinst that this was a variable you set during the configuration. SUM didn't offer me that chance, does anyone know where this value is derived from? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Possible reasons are:
• Environment variables are not properly set for the version of the database client which is used by the new tools.
• Auxiliary files such as language files etc. are not compatible with this version of the database client.
Please check the Database Upgrade documentation for more help. • Connection problem to Oracle via SSFS
