Installation doubt?

[Former Member]

Hi all!

While installing Application server - is it nessecary to have database?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Not a seperate database ofcourse, because then it will becom a seperate system. The new app server will be connected to the same database as the CI.

[Former Member]

For CI, DB will be installed with it as it is a must, but for app server, no database installation is needed.

Thanx that is fine but what i want to say if i am going to install application server(dailog instance or central instance)just i have to prepare os and start the installation of central instance or dailog instance or i have to install oracle and then start the application server installation

Hi Prasad,

In most of the cases to install the Central Instance you need to have the DB installed before running the SAP installation, the reason is very simple after the system files have been copied the system will look for the DB to create the DB instance and deploy the initial tables. For an additional dialog instance you do not need a DB as this will use the same DB as the CI.

Hope this help
