SAP NW installation with MaxDB resides on Linux 64Bit

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am very new to SAP NW installation. I need some help in installation.

I need to install SAP NW on Windows 2003 Server . Database instance must be on linux 64bit system. Is it possible to a system like this?

Any pointers??

Thanks,

Prashant

Sure, that's called a distributed installation.

Just check PAM and read the installation guide for a distributed system.

Thanks Juan,

I will start installation and let you know about the progress.

One more question, MaxDB Server is already installed on Linux 64bit machine. Can we installed only database on that server or it is necessary to install MaxDB server (by providing installables in SAP NW installation wizard) while installation procedure of SAP NW.

Thanks,

Prashant

Hi Juan,

I have to install SAP NetWeaver in similar environment. I have installed SCS: windows 32 machine

Next i am installing database instance on Linux CentOS 64 machine. currently it is asking for profile directory. as per installation guide i have export profile directory from windows and mount it on linux. Can you please explain the procedure for the same?

Whether i have to export it or create directories manually on linux machine.

Thanks in advance,
