Hi Raja,

That is fine but i want to know what are all the files need for the installation. All i can see in the setup directory on the DVD is a file called igs.car. I don't know what to do with that thing.

Please suggest,

Guru.

Hi,

Did you check the Note 718267. In 6.40 the IGS is not installed in the kernel folder, rather installed in a seperate IGS folder. i.e. usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS..\IGS folder. Under IGS folder you have different folders conf, bin, data, logs, lib, etc. Uncar the latest patch from the folder usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS..\ will create the same seet of IGS folders with the new version. Just backup the conf folder before you can update the patch.

Let me know if this helped.

Hi Guys,

I am also trying to install IGS, but cannot find any setup.exe or sapinst.exe in the downloaded software.

Was this problem solved?

Please let me know where/how to solve this.

Kind Regards

Hi Ian,

Download the igs*.sar from http://service.sap.com/swdc.

You get the executables of the new IGS. These files

already exist in the kernel directory ../SYS/exe/run as

IGS comes with the kernel. Just copy and paste the new

files into the kernel run directory. Then run the report

graphics_igs_chart_test to get the IGS version. Note that

the IGS_RFC should be working. This is the procedure for

700 release and 640 releases where IGSis integrated in

kernel. Else you have setup.exe in the IGS standalone

installation SAR file.

Hi Ian,

If your IGS version is 6.40 and is integrated one, you will not get any .exe files.

You have to uncar the file igs_.sar from folder usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS\.

This will create IGS folder and subfolders.

You would have a .exe file only in case of standalone IGS.

Refer Note: 718267 and Note 454042 - IGS: Installing and Configuring the IGS

Hi Gurvinder,

At service.sapcom go into

Support Packages and Patches> SAP NetWeaver> SAP NetWeaver components ( < SAP NW 04 )> SAP BW> SAP BW 3.1 CONTENT> Entry by Component>IGS

Then get the IGS 6.40 whcich is the latest and select the correct Operating system--in your case you have 3 choices for Windows at the bottom.

Download it, unpack it and install it. Should be straightforward.

Hi Gurvinder,

Are you trying to install IGS on a Unix server or a Windows server?

If on Unix, then just follow the note 732502 and let me know if you have any questions. If on windows, just download the latest IGS from servicemarketplace and run the exe file.
