error installing minisap from Horst Keller book.

[Former Member]

hi everybody,

I just tried to install minisap through Horst Keller book and I got error during installation;

I installed the MS Loopback Adapter and edited host name already. Please help me,thanks.

the error is:

Port number 3600 is known and the service name sapmsMBS is different from the existing service name sapmsNSP.

Error: R3MESSAGEPORT_IND_IND Ins_SetupServicePorts 2 766

The service entry (sapmsMBS, 3600, tcp) could not be created. See the log file for detailed information.

Possible cause:

- the service information is under administration of Network Information Service

- the service name/port number is already occupied by an other entry

- permission denied (in standard case only the operating system administrator is allowed to add entries)

For error localization you can do the following:

- be sure starting the program as operating system administrator

- check if NIS is in use for service entries

- scan the service entry file for occupied service name/port number

Possible solutions:

- turn off NIS for local installation of the service entries

- add the service entry manually

Error: R3MESSAGEPORT_IND_IND InstallationDo 2 766

Phase failed.

Error: Main {} 2 766

Installation aborted.

It is not able to create Service entry. Have you verified that there is no firewall/antivirus blocking on Services File. You can add this entry manually and try to execute again.

BTW why you are installing an old version when recent trial version s available on SDN Download Section.

thansks for answer,

I disabled firewall and antivirus and I still have the same problem. How do i enter manually?

i just got a book because i`m starting to learn abap and I thought is good have a reference book.. I dont have System Requirements for install abap 7.02

[former_member185031]

Check the entries on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Services file. If the entry is not there then add those entries.

[Former Member]

Subhash, I just checked the entries and i can find sap enter in there.

like:

sapgw97s 4897/tcp # SAP System Gateway Security Port

sapgw98s 4898/tcp # SAP System Gateway Security Port

sapgw99s 4899/tcp # SAP System Gateway Security Port

sql6 7210/tcp

sapdbni72 7269/tcp

sql30 7200/tcp # SAP DB

vmake 7792/tcp # SAP DB

is there another way that i can find the reason for errors?

[former_member185031]

Check for this entry.

>>Port number 3600 is known and the service name sapmsMBS is different from the existing service name sapmsNSP.

it should be sapmsMBS, i belive it will be sapmsNSP there so just replace it with sapmsMBS

It worked well.

but i got different problem after that, in 88% of installation:

Info: DBR3LICENSECREATE InternalInstallationDo 2 1

Create SAP license table.

Error: DBR3LICENSECREATE InternalInstallationDo 2 1

See logfile dev_slic for further information.

[former_member185031]

Search on SDN with keyword DBR3LICENSECREATE and you will get so many thread which can solve your issue.

sorry, I havent found solution for my problem in the forum, do u know how I could solve?

[former_member185031]

>>See logfile dev_slic for further information.

Check the file for more information. Can you able to execute this ?

Executed SAPLICENSE -get to get the hardware key

Then send a request on sdn for a new license

Then intall the license with SAPLICENSE -install

After that resume the installation.

I cannot execute SAPLICENSE.exe (in C:\MBS), when I click in nothing happened

[former_member185031]

You need to login through mbsadm user.

Then open a command box and execute saplicense -get. If you receive any error then let us know here.

Which operating system do you run?

Start - execute

runas /user:mbsadm cmd.exe

then execute

saplicense -get

hey Markus,thanks for help

I run ``runas /user:mbsadm cmd.exe`` and I can see DOS,

there is a question : enter the password for mbsadm:

but I`m not able to write anything, so when I press enter i get a messenger : runas error:unable to run - cmd.exe

Hello Yuri,

how about logging in as mbsadm to Windows XP, and then opening a cmd.exe window (as suggested

by Subhash)? From there you should be able to switch to C:\mbs and run saplicense -get.

Mark

ok, I could run saplicense -get, I got hardware key and sent request.

I got from email new:

SAP SYSTEM ID

HARDWARE KEY

INSTALLATION NO

EXPIRATION_DATE

LICENSE_KEY

But i`m not able to run saplicense -install, I did the same way through cmd.exe and I got this error:

C:\MBS>saplicense -install

*** SAPLICENSE <Release 46D> ERROR ***

ERROR: Can not set DbSl trace function

DETAILS: DbSlControl <DBSL_CMD_IMP_FUNS_SET> failed with return code 20

RC-INFO: error loading dynamic db-library - check environment for:

dbms_type = <db-type> <e.g ora>

DIR_LIBRARY = <path to db-dll> <e.g. /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run>

[Former Member]

I am glad to hear that, so you are making progress!

What about these environment variables, did you (or sapinst) set them?

You can check them via:

echo %dbms_type%
echo %DIR_LIBRARY%

[Former Member]

sorry, but how i do check this?

through cmd.exe and then

c:\MBS\ echo %dbms_type%

echo %DIR_LIBRARY%

dont know if i did wrong,but nothing happened

[Former Member]

If nothing is returned, then the environment variables are not set.

Is the minisap 4.6D running on MS SQL Server? Then set

dbms_type=MSS

e.g. via My Computer -> right click "Properties" -> Advanced -> Environment Variables

The variable DIR_LIBRARY should be set to where your database library

(name db*.dll) is located. Then reopen another cmd.exe and try again to

install the license.

[Former Member]

yes, I run on MS SQL Server.

i got confused.

I went to ``My Computer -> right click "Properties" -> Advanced -> Environment Variables``

where I should create a variable in User Variable or System Variable? (there are 2 options)

the name of variable will be: DIR_LIBRARY

the name of Value will be: ? ( I tried - dbdll; c:\MBS\dbdll; c:\MBS\dbmssslib.dll ...)

dont know if this information help, but also there is a file in MBS calls ``dbmssslib.dll``, but cannot open.

anyway, i tried to do that, I returned to cmd, but couldnt install license

[Former Member]

ok, I did like this:

1- I ran the command file set dbenv.cmd (in CMD.EXE) and I got this information:

C:\MBS\REM Setting environment for db connect to MBS

C:\MBS\set dbms_type=mss

C:\MBS\set DIR_LIBRARY=.

C:\MBS\set MSSQL_DBNAME=MBS

2- then I started SAPLICENSE -INSTALL and now I got different error:

**SAPLICENSE <Release 46D> ERROR**

ERROR: connect to database failed

DETAILS: DbSlConnect failed with return code 18

[former_member185031]

So first start the MBS instance, there will be a icon on desktop, just double click on that and start the instance. Once it will be started then install license.

Hello Yuri,

I am not familiar with the minisap system or MS SQL server. From your description I say that you have to set DIR_LIBRARY=C:\MBS. So saplicense will know where to search for the file dbmssslib.dll library. Whether you make that a User Variable (for mbsadm) or a System Variable doesn't matter. You can also edit dbenv.cmd to also set DIR_LIBRARY=C:\MBS.

Then retry saplicense -install.

Regards,

Mark

[Former Member]

Hi Chandra and Mark,

I made a little progress.

This time I set dbenv.cmt (in C:\MBS);

and then went to next step: saplicense -install;

the system asked me:

SAPSYSTEM =..

HARDWARE-KEY =..

INSTNO = ..

EXPIRATION = ..

LICENSE KEY = ..

(i got all information by email through sdn)

I have filled in all fields, but I got different error now:

saplicense: License not installed

*** wrong license data specified

check the specified license data for:

-typing errors

-upper/lower characters

-same values as noted on license fax

I repeated this step many times. What could be now?

[former_member185031]

Have you validate the license file which you received is correct based on Hardware key and Instance ID MBS, also make sure you are not making typing mistake during installing the license.

Regards,

Subhash

[Former Member]

I believe i got the right license,

But there is the possibility of the system does not accept the new license because there is no license to initial installation?

[former_member185031]

what is the output of saplicense -show. Does this give you any output ? if yes then there is a temporary license installed. I still think there is something wrong while installating the license that's why you are getting this eror message.

Regards,

Subhash

[Former Member]

saplicense -show gives the message:

saplicense: no license entries found.

seems strange, but I'm using exactly the information received by email.

[Former Member]

It is always possible to install a license, it doesn't matter wheter another (temp) license is already installed or not. Quite often I mix up the date format like using DDMMYYYY instead of YYYYMMDD. Could you please post the whole of your saplincense -install input? If it is a license from SAP for trial systems, there should be nothing secretive about that. I could try to install it to another system just to verify whether the license data is correct or corrupted.

[Former Member]

ok, saplicense -install:

SAP SYSTEM ID: WA1

HARDWARE KEY: E1846663212

INSTALLATION NO: DEMOSYSTEM

EXPIRATION_DATE: 20110816

LICENSE_KEY: NVXBGM1KKKELTWTYUXUUEHRL

saplicense: License not installed

*** wrong license data specified

check the specified license data for:

-typing errors

-upper / lower characters

-same values as noted on license fax

I had asked different licenses keys by SDN, and are not working

[Former Member]

Thanks for sharing. This license key is defintely corrupt. So it is not your fault, you tried it the correct way. You could ask SAP about this and refer to your buddies from SDN

If you have a valid SAP license for SID WA1, but for a different HW key, then install that. Once installed you can then perform "saplicense -temp" to get an ordinary temporary license.

[Former Member]

thank you.

I will contact SDN support and ask about this.

thanks

Yuri

[former_member185031]

As i can see this license is valid for WA1 - Web as 6.10 but you have MBS - SAP R/e 4.6D

So while sending the license form did you select WA1 instead of MBS ? You can send a new request for MBS and let's see if you get a license for MBS

Regards,

Subhash

[Former Member]

I requested new license for MBS, just installed and is working well.

Finally got my minisap working!

At moment just need access to developer, then need developer key, but could see in forum that there are solution for that.

Thanks Subhash!

[Former Member]

I would like to leave a thanks to my fellow forum Subhash Chandra and Mark Foerster who helped me solve my problem of minisap installation . Many thanks to you. Success in SAP.

Thanks
