PROBLEM with SAPSERVER.CMD

[Former Member]

I'm in the process of installing IDES in our test environment but I seem to have problems with the Oracle installation. when i double click the file sapserver.cmd nothing happens, just a quick flash.

This is the content in sapserver.cmd when i edit it

@set cmddrive=%~d0

@set cmdpath=%~p0

@set rootdir=%cmddrive%%cmdpath%

@set oracle_home=

@set tns_admin=

@set JAVA_HOME=

@%rootdir%\SETUP.EXE -RESPONSEFILE

%rootdir%\response\sapserver.rsp

ihave a doubt about the line setup.exe because i find setup.exe in this path %rootdir%\install\win32\setup.exe

can any one please help me how to fix the problem.Thanks

I think the best way is

go to command prompt

switch to corresponding dir and press enter i.e

<ORA92_1\install\win32\>setup.exe ( Enter )

then work.

installation of a small, neat tool is recommended..

-> command here

is part of the resource kit for windows 2003 and can be downloaded free of charge form the microsoft website...when right clicking within the windows explorer you will be able to invoke a cmd right in the selected directory...

PROBLEM with SAPSERVER.CMD

This is the content in sapserver.cmd when i edit it

@set cmddrive=%~d0

@set cmdpath=%~p0

@set rootdir=%cmddrive%%cmdpath%

@set oracle_home=

Hi,

The same problem i am facing while installing Oracle in win2003.

I have edited the sapserver.cmd as you said in reply, but that doesnot work, can you or anyone can help me out in this regard.

Sudha,

open a command prompt

start sapserver.cmd from there. you will see error messages.

I would also advise you to start a new topic of your own as you posted right in the middle of a crowded topic...

There are 2 possible issues when installing something using sapserver.cmd

1. if you copy the files from DVD/CD to a disk location do not use foldernames containing a blank. The installation is not able to handle paths containing blanks.

2. keep the path to the root directory of a CD short. On Windows we have a maximum of 260 Byte for a filename (as long as no unicode strings are used). Oracle CD already has a deep directory structure and if you put some unnecessary bytes in front of it filenames may become too long.

regards

Peter

hi sreekanth,

First letme know whether you installed oracle and java correctly...after the java installation u have to set the environment variables for java....

send me the information that u finished all the formalities......

eventhough you are facing the same problem then the problem with software it self...

Sreekant,

I am sure you are running this sapserver.cmd from oracle disk_1 folder.

Their os work around - copy ORA92_1 folder to root drive c:\ and run sapserver.cmd . it will work

Thanks
