Wow – where to begin?
I’m currently working on an upgrade / Unicode conversion from 3.2 to 4.0. To put it mildly, it’s been less than pleasant. Our CUM level when we started, about two and a half months ago, was 06045. Eventually I completed the upgrade, but the Unicode process is still in process.
Some items that might be applicable to a new installation though …
1. Yes, you’ll need to patch the TMKSVR, and this is done with ISERPACK8.
a. And you need a 7.00 sapcar to unpack it, which if you don’t already have one, you can download the windows version to your PC to unpack it
2. There is also a zip file you have to apply – nw04scontrol.zip (note 842115)
3. I would HIGHLY recommend downloading the newest kernel to use during the installation.
4. If you don’t already have an SLD, you’ll now need one
a. This is VERY memory intensive to install, we had ~4.5GB allocated only to the installation and it still wasn’t enough for the installation to finish. I had to load the SLD content manually.
5. FYI – Solman 4.0 requires a java stack (memory intensive)
That’s all I can think of from an installation perspective. There were numerous other issues, but I think they were mostly related to the upgrade and/or conversion. If you run stuck, don’t be afraid to ask, I may’ve seen it. You can also search through the forums as I posted some questions here.
Good luck.
