Hello All,

Well, looks only BI running on your system and since you decided not use BI anymore the harm in using sapinst?

Probably you need to explain more in details about what you are planning to after uninstalling BI..

Sekhar we will install non-sap product..Please tell me is there any process other than sapinst tool??Reason why I am saying: Because we are having HP-unix & Reflection is not working properly..

If you are planning to install non-SAP product then, is SAP (current build) in exclusive disk (volume) if so you can very much format the disk/volume contains SAP installation and then proceed with non-SAP build?

If your SAP build existing along with other application/important data, then one way that i can think off

1. delete the SAP build folder/directories

2. remove corresponding services

3. remove corresponding registry entries

4. remove corresponding environment variable setup

5. and any other that you feel has reference to sap installation

But, it's not the right way performing when we have sap way of doing the same...anyways try the above steps and hope you can meet your requirements.

Yes, you don't require sapinst but note it won't clean/complete removal.

I need complete removal..So I understood that we require sapinst tool for complete deletetion..

Juan For relection to use we require certain bandwidth but our client is not providing that..So is there any alternatives other than reflection to use for gui based tool in HP-unix??

[JPReyes · Accepted solution]

Theres lots of different programs... at the end of the day reflexion is only used for Xserver... you can have reflexion in your PC and call the box using putty... it should work without issues. Also the client needs to understand the advantage of a good link when doing this kind of work
