BI Netweaver EHP1 Installation

[Former Member]

Hello , We have requirement to install BI server , We have recieved media dvd from SAP for Netweaver EHP1 . I want to know what are the basic steps which i need to follow .

As per my understanding it should be something like -

1. Install ABAP+JAVA ( I want to have both as for BI i am unclear that should i choose ABAP or JAVA stack) from installation DVD's including EHP1 ?

2. Use EHPi tool to install the EHP1.?

3. Apply Addon for BI ?

Please Suggest

Just as additional info: Double stack instances (ABAP + Java with the same SID) are no more supported. Install two separate instances.

Hi Markus ,

As per note 1181025 ( section-3) , should i go for dual stack workaround ? Can you highlight the main steps , milestones for the installation ( as per section 3 , EHp1)

That "workaround" is possible, yes. However, the SAP recommendation is to separate the systems, you can still install on the same server, just use two SIDs.

I can just highly recommend avoiding dual stack instances where possible. They are a nightmare to administer and maintain, not to speak of system copies etc.

If this is a new installation I would really go for two single stacks.

The process to follow is pretty well outlined in the note. Why do you want to do this installation as a dual stack?

I will let you know once i discuss with BI consultant , as per his recommendation i thought to install the Dual stack.

Can you please let us know more about the usages of ABAP BI and JAVA BI , are there any specific advantages to use both stacks .

Also can i install 2 SID's on Same hardware , will that be supported by SAP.

Check the sdn site mentioned in the note (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/landscapedesign), you'll find there some information why a separate should be done.

The Java part is the "frontend", it's a portal where the people call the queries.

yes. Make sure the machine is properly sized.

The installation guide available in the media has all steps of Planning, Preparation, Installation and Post-installation.

Hope you have already gone through them?
