Your system is behaving really strange, this is no normal behaviour, certainly not.

Is your administrator running a script to delete the content of the /tmp directory every 5 minutes?

does your user have enough permission to save the file?

you might not get an correct error message when exit with wq!

try to save the file with :w and read what vi says about this.

regards

Just to add - If you don't have 'lsof' and you want to check what process/user is using a specific file you can use the command 'fuser'

eg

fuser -fu /usr/bin/ksh

..will display all users and processes using Korn shell.

Of course you get that - because a running SAPCAR can´t overwrite itself.

Try the following:

mkdir unpack
cd unpack
../SAPCAR -xvf ../SAPEXE.SAR

(use backslashes if you´re on Windows)

Hi,

Rename the SAPCAR.exe to SAPCAR1.exe

then do SAPCAR1.exe -xvf xxxxxxxxx.SAR

No matter how - copy the extracted files to where you want to have them.

I never needed to manually unpack the kernel. What are you doing?

Hi,

As on the other day there is problem with local host, at that point of time i need to stop , now i started the DB instance installation, so when i run the DB installation i am getting the following error

OS-01022 PROBLEM: ./SAPCAR -xvgf /UNIX/HP11_64/SAPEXE.SAR, -R /export/sapmnt/<SID>/exe returned with '28'. CAUSE: See output './SAPEXE.SAR.log'. SOLUTION: Solve the CAUSE and extract the archive manually. Change permission of extracted files to '(<SID>adm,USER,=rwxo) (sapsys,GROUP,=rxg) (Everyone,GROUP,=rx)'. Afterwards skip current step and restart the installation.

ERROR 2008-08-26 11:52:37

Then i tried to extract as you said , but i am still getting thesame. I think it is taking the same path.

pl help.

thanks

[markus_doehr2]

what is the output of SAPEXE.SAR.log?

Then i tried to extract as you said , but i am still getting thesame. I think it is taking the same path.

I don´t know what you are doing but it works perfect:

testsyst:fooadm$ ls
SAPCAR      SAPEXE.SAR 

testsyst:fooadm$ mkdir test

testsyst:fooadm$ cd test

testsyst:fooadm$ ../SAPCAR -xvf ../SAPEXE.SAR 

...
x wdispmon
x webdispinst.lst
x xml63d.so
SAPCAR: 685 file(s) extracted

testsyst:fooadm$ uname -a
HP-UX testsyst B.11.23 U ia64 0220029059 unlimited-user license

I am trying to remove file libclntsh.sl.8.01 and retry installation.

I have tried to remame the file and delete no use, tried to move the file to a different folder no use.

When ever i try to delete i get text file busy.

thanks

Some program is actually using that file, that's why you can't delete it.

Are you sure you want to delete it? Any other system running on that server?

You can find out which process uses that library by installing "lsof" (available at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/).
