Hi .. thank you for your attention i was able to solve the problem and i have updated the solution for the people who face the same error in future

Hi,

As you said you try to do the installation once and then started again. As a result registry of your earlier installation is not cleaned and now with same system number it is creating problem.

Better if install with different system number or clear earlier registry so that sapinst can update the registry.

Thanks

Hi,

I agree with you, could you please suggest how to clean registry ?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

First stop the installation and then go to run and type msconfig..there you have to delete all entries related to SAP manually. Then start new installation and this is hit and trial method.

Thanks

Hi,

The installation is on AIX 6.1

Hi All,

I have solved the issue and my issue was with the registry just because i have started installation again.

Just FYi to you all, due to some error if we repeat sap installation with db2 if you face registry problem follow below solution

<db2 dump directory> -> im my case it is /db2/P55/db2_software

<db2 dump directory>/instance and execute with root

to view the instance list -> ./db2ilist

and to drop instance -> ./db2idrop <instance name> ( you can observer sqllib is deleted with this effect)

i have started fresh installation and it has solved the error
