Error installing EP 6.0 on WAS 6.40

[Former Member]

Hi,

we are currently try to install a Portal Platform 6.0 on a WAS 6.40 JAVA Engine.

The requirement for installing the portal is the SP4 of WAS. Unfortunately the J2EE Engine seems to be in 6.30 state AFTER patching it with SP4.

So we tried the newest SP (SP9).

After that, the J2EE Engine is in state 6.40 and we thought we are ready to install EP 6.0 now.

But after starting sapinst it tells us:

"SAPInst could not find any SAP J2EE instances that match the Portal Platform requirements. The installation stops. Install the SAP J2EE 6.40 according to the Portal PAM requirements, and run the portal installation again"

The Instance was found (look at log)!

Basic Configuration:

Windows 2000 Server

WAS Java SP3 on MaxDB 7.5x

Default Central J2EE Engine

Of course, we have read several guides and all(think so) notes.

Are there any comments or solutions?

Thx

My understanding is that EP is currently not installable on a MaxDB J2EE Engine. On Oracle it works fine.

Have a look at the PAM http://service.sap.com/pam60

Seems like it is featured with the NW04 service release in December

Hello Bruno, hello Udi,

thanks for your replies.

I'm sure that EP6 on MaxDB should work.(we have NW04)

We will try to install sp8 - hope this helps.

Thanks

After "reading" some installation scripts of sapinst I'm not really sure if it is possible.

I can say it is not possible with the current script...(and probably the current binaries)

So, sorry Bruno, you're right.

Have anybody detailed information when it will be possible? (more specific than "End of December"?)

Thanks

I've seen this post related to installation of EP6:

On ours systems we got WAS 6.40 SP09 on MAXDB 7.5.00

Are you succeded with the installation of EP 6.0 SP3?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards.
