I'm not an OS administrator, but I would think in general a best practice would be to install as non-root, from a security perspective. But it's true that doing so requires a few extra steps for AR System, and I imagine also for ITSM.

We are not facing any problem. But You have to manually export or enter all export entry in .profile file in linux like LD_LIBRARY_PATH,ORACLE_HOME,TWO_TASK, etc. for Installation. To install as a non root user you have to follow some steps before installing as suggested in BMC docs.
