problem installing ECC6

[Former Member]

Was installing SAP ERP ECC6 on Oracle 10g/Solaris 10. My RAM is 8GB.

All was going well , database was created and then the instalation stalled at IMPORTING ABAP stage. 13 of the imports failed and all attempts to solve the error were unsuccesful so I rebooted the server.

Now it seems I have to start the instalation all over again since sapinst is not giving me the option to continue with the instalation from where it last stopped ie IMPORTING ABAP. Is there away around this ?

Looks like you were using /tmp as your install directory. Never use tmp as an install directory, always create a separate file system for the install directory.

I am not sure that you can do anything else besides restarting the install process.

Thanks Naveed

Indeed you Iare right. I was using /tmp as my install directory because that was what sapinst picked as a default.

How do I make sapinst use a prefered different install directory ?

Create a new filesystem and run sapinst from that directory. Also set the following environment variables.

export TMP=/<name of directory>

export TEMP=/<name of directory>

export TMPDIR=/<name of directory>

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
