adding a 64bit Dialog intance server into a 32bit envoirnment

[Former Member]

hi all,

I'm trying to install a new Dialog Instance on a 64bit server, however the current environment is 32bit. Can we do that? My concern is when I've edited the central instance's profile and added the Dialog instance, it overwritten the Central Instance Kernel with the files from the new server, (bringing 64bit files to a 32bit system) and that obviously caused the system to go down.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Samer

As far as I know you can do that,

in the central instance, there is a kernel for each instance in the exe directory.

I do that one time in a SYS system and it worked well.

Hi Moshe,

Thanks for the reply, I feel like i'm missing something.

I'm following these notes in my installation:

http://www.sap-info.org/snotes/SN10.pdf

And I think I'm misconfiguring things when I get to point 22 as I'm not understanding what they mean. I think that made the system go down.

I've copied everything in the existing profile with QAS_dvebmgs00 to QAS_D01_sapqaappvs2. They also mention that I need to make the neccesary changes. Not sure what they are but I think it might be something from this, maybe only the sapsystem needs to change from 00 to 01

SAPSYSTEMNAME = QAS

INSTANCE_NAME = DVEBMGS00

SAPSYSTEM = 00

SAPGLOBALHOST = sapqaappvs

1. CLUSTER specific keys

SAPLOCALHOST = sapqaappvs

SAPLOCALHOSTFULL = sapqaappvs

Here's the whole QAS_dvebmgs00 profile:

I just got it to run! I've edited the dialog profile (and the start file) to include the saplocalhost and the sapglobalhost variables. And i had to copy the kernel in another dv*** folder on the central instance and then let sappce run to copy it down to the dialog server.

So now i'm logged in against it but after configure my sapgui connection manually towards it, so now i have to figure out load balancing and all that stuff..
