Installation problem WAS 6.4

[LeonardoAraujo]

I am having a little hard time installing the SAP WAS 6.4 sneak preview.

I keep getting errors write after I enter the passwords for the users to be created.

The error is CJS-00081 - Assertion failed...

The last 10 lines of my XCMDOUT.LOG are:

> Subprocess starts at 20040918140032

Execute Command : C:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli.exe -s dbm_version

Execute Session Command : exit

> Subprocess stops at 20040918140032

OK

VERSION = 7.3.0

BUILD = DBMServer 7.3.0 Build 015-000-070-423

OS = WIN32

INSTROOT = C:\sapdb\WA1\db

LOGON = True

CODE = ASCII

SWAP = full

UNICODE = YES

INSTANCE = (unknown)

SYSNAME = Windows

I used to have SAP mini 4.6d installed. It is also not my first attempt to install the was 6.4

Is it a problem of instance? MAXDB?

Do you guys have any clue I am doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

From the previous reply, I found u didn't set up your environment variable for the jdk u just installed. I suppose your jdk is installed in C:/j2sdk1.4.2_05 directory, so please add this C:/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin at the beginning of 'Path' environment variable. Then if there is no one environment variable called "JAVA_HOME" please create one and set its value as C:/j2sdk1.4.2_05

If I'm not wrong, at the initial part of WAS 6.4 sneak installtion, it asked u to give the location of jdk. Since now u've installed the new jdk, I don't know whether u should reinstall it. If u set up the environment variable successfully, the output of echo %JAVA_HOME% should not be %JAVA_HOME% but C:/j2sdk1.4.2_05. Good luck

Thanks. I will try it tonight.

Besides, do you know a good way to uninstall completely all my previous installations? (including SAPDB)

Thanks

I've been able solve my previous problem. Now the installation hangs during MaxDB Client software installation for J2EE Engine (post processing)

My log has an error (that happened a few steps before):

My installation is stopped (no activity in task manager) for about 30 min...

Any thoughts?

Leonardo.

All the error message:

ERROR 2004-09-18 14:09:33

CJS-00081 Assertion failed: in function InstallationScript_62() { var installer = new Installer(); var kdb = new KeyDB(); var context = new Context(); var gui = new Gui();

Before this error, I have some warnings. This is the one before (I don't know if it is related or not):

WARNING 2004-09-18 14:07:47

Directory C:/WINDOWS is not a valid JDK directory: the java executable is missing.

Hello Leonardo,

what are the values of your JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables?

Thanks for your quick response.

I have to tell you: java is really new for me. I have no idea here to check the values you asked me about.

I installed J2sdk1.4.2_0 and Java 2 environment as per the installation requirements.

Where do I check that?

Thanks

Leonardo

Hello Leonardo,

open a Command line with Start -> Run -> cmd. Type in this commands and post us the results:

echo %PATH%

echo %JAVA_HOME%

java -version

you can copy and paste when you click on the upper left corner of the console window and choose Edit -> Mark.

Hello Leonardo,

uninstall your Java Version and download from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html the up to date SDK J2SE Version 1.4.2_05. After the installation open the system properties and click the tab advanced. Click the button environment variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME with Value "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05" when you've chosen the default Java installation path. You can also add the "%JAVA_HOME%\bin" directory to the existing PATH variable after a ";".

I've unistalled old JAVA version, installed the 1.4.2_05 version, re-started the computer and tried again.

The same error:

ERROR 2004-09-19 11:30:49

CJS-00081 Assertion failed: in function InstallationScript_62() { var installer = new Installer(); var kdb = new KeyDB(); var context = new Context(); var gui = new Gui();

I had previously installed mini 4.6d and tried a couple of times this installation. So I tried to do a cleanup of my registry and remove (after unistalling) all entries I had for SAPDB.

I tried again after and now the error is different:

ERROR 2004-09-19 11:47:50

MDB-070057 The system is inconsistent. Registry or SAP_DBTech information is available, but software is not complete.

How can I remove completly these entries for SAP_DB so I can re-start clean ? (btw, the old version 4.6d is gone, past. I've removed it previously)

Hello Leonardo,

I think you should go the hard way and install your Workstation from scratch with XP.
