Unable to install SAP Netweaver 2004s in Solaris x64

[Former Member]

I am trying to install SAP Net2004s in solaris x64 and it has JDK1.6.

For some reason the SAPINST keeps giving error "JDK version 1.5.0 and above is not supported by SAP.

I downloaded and installed j2sdk1.4.2_24_b06 as per note 716604.

Created environment variable as

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24

now if i execute java -version, again it is showing as Jdk1.6

which java

/usr/bin/java

i am able to execute xclock.

I renamed the softlink in /usr/java to java.old and created new one as /usr/java pointed to /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24

after this if i execute java -version, it gives an error "Error occurred during initialization of VM

java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object"

Now i checked the java executables, it is located in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64/ (all java executables)

Now i set the env PATH /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64 before the variable /ur/bin/java

I tried creating env as "export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/amd64". But no luck.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me to pass through this error.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Please try

install a fresh JDK just need 64 bit version

and set the environment variables accordingly,

SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/usr/jdk etc

JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk etc

PATH=/usr/jdk etc

remove your temporary installation directory (/tmp/sapinst_instdi

create a new directory

and restart the installation from scratch.

Also check

709140 Recommended JDK and VM Settings for the WebAS630/640/7.0

install a fresh JDK just need 64 bit version
and set the environment variables accordingly,

i did install java64bit and out put java -version is j2sdk1.4.2_24 64bit

created env

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2dsk1.4.2_24

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

export SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/opt/j2dsk1.4.2_24

export DISPLAY=XXX:0.0

able to execute xclock

But got the same error when i try to execute ./sapinst

error "GUI not Connected......."

i wonder that in java 64 bit,the executables are located in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64/(all java executables)

but when we execute ./sapinst, it shows as it is searching the executables in /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin

i don't know if that matters.

but just want to let you know that, i was able to get the sapinst gui, when pointing to java1.6 version, but unfortunatly sap won't support above java1.5.

path of java1.6 executables - /usr/jdk/jdk1.6../bin/(all java executables)

Please help me resolving this issue.

If you're logged in at the console with X, then don't set DISPLAY.

Are you running the install from a windows host or directly on Solaris host???

Please try to set the variable as :

#export PATH=$PATH/usr/java abd try to install.

Please revert back in case of further queries..

Yes, this is right and expected.

If you use put the standard PATH before the new path for Java, the first java binary found is executed.

You have to

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Thank you Markus.

I did according to ur suggestion, but still getting the same error

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/amd64:$PATH

java -version

"Error occurred during initialization of VM

java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object"

which java

/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_24/bin/amd64/java

do we have to install both 32bit and 64bit j2sdk1.4.2_24?

Pls guide me in this
