Can not install a Java add-in installation

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have installed a ABAP NW 7.0 EHP1 system with BI_CONT 704. But our BW people asked if I could install a J2ee add-in installation onto the ABAP system.

I u201Cthe old daysu201D I just started sapinst on the installation master, and then choose Java Addin installation, but this option is not available any more.

I tried this on the installation master: SAP Netweaver 7.0 Including Enhancement Package 1 Support Release 1 -> SAP Application Server JAVA -> MS SQL Server -> Central System

But when sapinst gets to the step where it asks me for the SAP instance u201CSAP System IDu201D, then I enter the running ABAP system, but after that I get the error u201CSAP system BW3 is an ABAP or ABAP+Java system. Cannot convert this to a Java standalone system. u201D

This confuses me, since I am not trying to convert anything, I am just trying to install a J2ee addin installation.

Anyone who can help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes, as you discovered by yourself, the java add-in installation option was removed by SAP.

The java add-in was recommended a few years ago but due to all the problems it created it is now unsupported by recent installation sources.

From my personal experience, I agree that java add-in brings more problemas than advantages but if you really want to install one you will have to use older installation sources.

So is the recomendation today, that if you need both, then you have to install 2 seperate systems?

In addition, you can check SAP Note 1181025 - NW7.0 EHP1 - Install BI Dual Stack System (Workaround)
