Hi,

I think you are not able to start SAPINST GUI , is it rite?

If that is the case: please follow below things to make SAPINST works:

1. Include the java environment variable in PATH environment variable and also with /bin and /jre directory means <javapath>/bin and <javapath>/jre .

2. check whether xmanager is installed or not, if installed set the DISPLAY variable. Give the DISPLAY variable as <IP address>:1.0 or 0.1 or 2.0 or 0.2, if still its not working put <IP address>:0.0

3. Be in root, means : root> cd

afterwards, root> ls -lart

then you can find .Xauthority file, please copy that to your home directory of <sid>adm.

means logon with sidadm and do pwd, you can get the home directory of sidadm, like /home/<sid>adm

copy means : from root > cp .Xauthority /home/sidadm/ ( check home directory)

Then set the DISPLAY variable and then check whether it is working or not using /usr/openwin/bin/xclock

4.And also check ulimit -a, if all are in unlimited then fine.

Please do all the above steps and let me know if still issue persists.

Thanks

Kishore

Hi,

Dont use that path: Host >cd /INST/SAPINST/UNIX/HP11_64/INSTALL, why you are using INSTALL under HP11_64,

You can find sapinst under HP11_64. use that, you will get sapinst, if not send me the error.

I will look into that.

Thanks

It seems you are installing from an OLD CD set - not using sapinst but R3setup - this must be called

./R3SETUP -f CENTRAL.R3S for the central instance and

./R3SETUP -f DATABASE.R3S for the database instance

I HIGHLY suggest you download a new installation CD/DVD set from the service marketplace, the version you seem to use is ancient!

Re: SAPINST

markus_doehr2 — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:00:20 GMT

Please do an "ls -l" on the root of your installation master CD and post the content here.

This CD looks really strange.

What's the CD number of it? Check in the root directory the "LABEL.ASC"

Re: SAPINST

Try a

find . -name "sapinst"

in the root directory of the CD.

find . -name "SAPINST"

/SAPINST -

This is what it has found.

Re: SAPINST

markus_doehr2 — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:45:51 GMT

This is the directory.

It seems that the system did only copy the files with CAPITAL letters, not all files. sapinst is written in lower case letters.

Try to mount the CD and try to find the lower case "sapinst" there.
