Installation of Developer Workplace fails at Phase 11

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the Developer Workplace 7.01 MaxDB on a Virtual Box instance running Windows XP SP2. The Virtual Machine has 1 GB of RAM and about 8 GB of free disk space. (The aim is to run a local version of the ISA Webshop.

When installing I run into problems in phase 11: Creating Database Instance. The logs supply the following information:

sapinst.log

When running these commands manually (as suggested in this [thread|;), I get the following output:

C:\>C:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli.exe -n vmwareinstall inst_enum
OK
7.8.01.14    C:\sapdb\WDB\db
 
C:\>C:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli.exe -n vmwareinstall db_enum
OK

It seems the installer is able to create an instance, but cannot or has not created a database.

I have retried several times, Viruscanner and Firewall are turned of. I am using JDK 1.4.2

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

-> If you are SAP customer please review SAP Note No. 1469675.

-> Currently Installation and uninstall based on SAP kernel 7.01 are only released for SAP MaxDB 7.6 and 7.7.

-> What DVDs are you using?

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

It worked, It now hangs at a different place (importing the Java dump), but that has got nothing to do with the MaxDB issue.

Natalia,

I used the following DVDs:

51037094 (Developer Workplace 7.01)
51038550_9 (RDBMS_MaxDB_7.8.01_Build_14)
51036767_7 (NW_7.01_SR1_Krnl_WIN_AIX_z_OS_HP_SOL)

I have just downloaded the latest release of MaxDB, but I understand from the note that this version is not compatible with NW 7.07 without additional steps.

Thanks for the Note, I will try download MaxDDB 7.7 and try again with that version right away.
