Patching SAPinst 701_1

[baby_fabrice]

Hello,

I'm installing Solution manager and i have see that we had to patch sapints.

In the note 929929 there is a list on instruciton.

I haven't start the installation

On part 1 : It s the download phase.

I have download the file SAPINST7011_1-20003664.SAR. Like i haven't any SAP instance i can't use SAPCAR in order to extract the file....how can i extract it?

Part2:If you have not yet started the installation, create a new

installation directory.

Is that mean that i have to create the folder C:\programfile\sapinst_instdir manually ? And all sublevels SAPinst create usually?

I don't understand how to do.

Thx for your help.

Regards.

Yes,create a installation directory and then copy the extracted files there. Later execute sapinst.exe <path to the original SAPinst on the CD>/product.catalog and then proceed with the installation.

Hope this clarifies.

Hi,

Once u have created the installation directory and extracted the files, execute the SAPINST using the following command

sapinst.exe <path to the original SAPinst on the CD>/product.catalog

where <path to the original SAPinst on the CD> is the path of the SAPINST where the original installation master is available.

Hope this clarifies. Mark the thread as answered if this has answered ur concerns.

1. You can download sapcar.exe from the marketplace:

Support Packages and Patches -> A-Z Index -> S -> SAPCAR -> (pick your version)

2. The installation directory is where all log files and temp space is used for the installation. There are guidleines in the guide for disk space required, directory structure, etc.
