Problem in SAP Netweaver Installation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a problem with starting SAP installation Gui.

I am on AIX6.1 OS platform.

When I try to run ./sapinst from by installation master DVD it says

1. ./sapinst

[==============================] \ extracting... done!

Starting GuiServer using:

/usr/java14_64/bin/java -Xmx256M -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom -cp /tmp/sapinst_exe.491742.1257319288/JAR/instgui.jar:/tmp/sapinst_exe.491742.1257319288/JAR/inqmyxml.jar SDTServer config=jar:sdtserver.xml guiport=21212 sapinsthost=localhost sapinstport=21200 guistart=true

init: retrieving account information for group sapinst...

init: retrieving account information done.

load resource pool /cddump/51033511_1/MASTER/IM_AIX_PPC64/resourcepool.xml

guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host espbgrcprod, port 21200 to continue with the installation

After that It is not showing any Netweaver Installation GUI. I have set the env variables correctly.

Here are the ENV parameter-

PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14_64/jre/bin:/usr/java14_64/bin

DISPLAY=10.1.7.15:0.0

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java14_64

Thanks..

Hi,

There can be 2 checks...

1. how u r doing this installation, by remote connection or by console ?

if its remote then check u r Java_home enviroment settings

and if its console then check where u r installation host is in network.

Hi,

Thanks for you answers... but I have resolved the issue of my own.

The issue was with JDK version. It was jdk 1.4.2 with SR13 FP2 version. I uninstall it and installed jdk 1.4.2 SR10 and rebooted the AIX box.

Thannks,

Let me share my experience. We did BI installation on Solaris. Software was available on Unix and windows client machine (XP). We started the remote installation from windows box with startinstgui.bat batch file.

You need to set display variable and export it. Based on your shell you may need to use appropriate commands for this. You may find attached link useful

Hi Sudip..

with respect to my previous post , refer this link if you have any issues setting up Exceed

refer this link if you have any issues setting up Exceed

You do not need Exceed, you need any software that provide Xserver

true.. u can use any Xserver.. i prefer you use exceed. its easy actually

[JPReyes]

I can see no problem in that log.... Do you have an Xserver running?... you can always test using xclock

Hi Sudip

We work on AIX systems..

You need a software called EXCEED to run gui.. Its actually "humming bird exceed"

Once u installed it.. Start Exceed and do the following:

1>$ who am i

This will give u ur local ip address.

then

2>$export DISPLAY=<local ip>:0.0

This is to export the display to exceed software to render the graphics..

3>$xclock

Now a clock should appear.. this confirms that GUI is working properly.

4> $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java14_64/bin

This is nothing but ur java executable directory..

5> $ export SAPINS_JRE_HOME=/usr/java14_64

6> $ export TMPDIR=/install

this will be the temporary dir during installation

7> $ export SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=give ur local host name of system excluding the domain(.something.com)

8> Run sapinst now..

Everything should work fine now...

Hi

Check your PATH

PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14_64/jre/bin:/usr/java14_64/bin

Remove the /usr/java14_64/bin line from the PATH varriable. Your New PATH Varriable value will be like below.

PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14_64/jre/bin

Now run the SAPinst & check.

Thanks,
