NW04s installation hangs at install java engine step

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to install NW04s and the sapinst is hanging at one particular point all the time. it is in the step "install java engine" and the message in the sapinst is "Extracting lib/logging.jar". i have tried to stop the installation and restarting it, but all the time it stops at this very step.

the system is windows, MSSQL server, jdk 1.4.2_12

thanks in advance.

regards,

Bharath

Hello!:

We have a Server x86 and we have launch the SOLMAN 4.0 SR3 installation (i386). 3GB RAM and 10240 MB of swap (i think that is enough).

We have had Problems with the 1.4.2_10 in the phase START JAVA DUMP.

So, we've changed the jre and jdk to the 1.4.2_16, and launch a new installation.

We are waiting the installation, but we have seen that java -version appears the old jre, althought we have restart the server.

Can you help us? Thanks

We can confirm that with the 10 gives an error in the phase START java dump, BUT with the 16 the phase has gone OK.

hello Bharath,

Decrease heap memory size. I had a similar issue. It usually takes the heap memory as a single slot. So this could create some problems while installing. Stop the setup at that step . Change the settings in config tool. Then start the settings from the old installations.

This should solve your problem

Try by

1. increase swap memory size in your system and check.

2. Or make sure the db log mode is set as overrite mode. This you have to do through dbm tool.

I used the jdk 1.4.2-13

It still stopped, but I reran the step and on the 3rd try it got thru the install java engine step.

I am currently having the same problem with J2EE addin on NW2004s SR1 SRM 4.0 install on Oracle db. Install stops at Extract lib/logging.jar.

The solution was either to sit and wait, or swap in a new JDK.

For me, the failures occured when using JDK 1.4.2_10. I swapped in JDK 1.4.2_11, performed the install again, and waited longer, and it worked. So it was either the updated JDK or more patience.

Hi Guys,

thanks for the inputs. i removed jdk 1.4.2_12 and installed 1.4.2_09 and it is still hanging at the same place.

the SDMKit.log ends with the following line.

"

inflated: lib/logging.jar

"

the entries in other log files of sapinst directory do not indicate any error. the entries do not move forward after the point where it gets stuck.

any suggestions?

Hi Bharath,

Please check for enough disk space in the installation

drive.

Hi Bharath,

Did you see sapinst log file in the sapinst_dir directory.

Also check the sdmkit.log. It may have some information.

Because usually the step takes a long time.

you cannot use jdk 1.4.2_08

you have to use jdk 1.4.2_09
