Installing Dialog Instances with ECC 6.0 and SQL Server 2005

[#1]

Hi, I have my ECC 6.0 SAP Server, it is Central Instance, Database instance, all in one. My users are working fine, however we will be adding some new users (15) and we want add a Dialog Instance. Can I add one Dialog instance to my landscape without any changes to my SAP Server ??? ..... My dialog instance will be in a new host.

My hardware SAP Server is: 16 GB RAM, 500 GB RAID 5 for my database, four processors.

What could be my Dialogue Instance hardware?

I have read than I must install with sapinst and select Dialogue Instance and follow instructions. Are there any others considerations?? .....

Do I must install SQL Server in the host Dialog instance ??.

Please if you have some suggestions.

Regards.

Hello Jose,

You can install your dialog instance without doing any change to the existing setup as you have mentioned its on a seprate new host.

Two CPU's and 8GB memory would be fine for your dialog instance.It all depends on your requirement.

Yes you need to install the dialog instance using SAPINST, its kool and sapinst would take care of all.

You need not install any SQL server in the dialog instance host only you need to have a SQL client installed but that would be taken care by SAPINST.

Hope this would clarify your query.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,

I have ABAP 6.40/ECC5 system with CI (System No 00) and DB working well. I added dialog instance on another host to the system using SAPINST and I am able to connect to it through SAP GUI.

But now I am not able to connect to Central Instance (00). Also when I am connected through Dialog Instance, I don’t get to see other instances in SM51, and also get error: unknown error calling profile editor when executing RZ10.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

With these symptoms, it means that you did something wrong when installing you Dialog Instance.

You have to check completely your DI setup.

Hi Rajesh,

>worked well on Windows server, but on UNIX is gives problems

Are you saying it is a heterogenous installation? If so, start with SAP Note 1067221 Composite Note for heterogenous installation.
