The sapdp00 is a pointer to a port to be used by the SAP Gui to connect to your SAP system. However, the 'pointer' needs to be in the services file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.  The SAP standard is that sapdpXX points to port 32xx which is used to connect to system number XX. The default system number for NSP systems is 00, so if that was the system number you used, you need the following entries:

sapdp00  3200/tcp

sapgw00  3300/tcp

Apologies, my attempt to insert and image by cut-and-paste didn't work.

Note that last two lines occur when I attempt to connect via sapinstgui from a windows machine.

If you want to do a remote installation , you need to give the following option

# ./sapinst -nogui

If you want to do a remote installation , you need to give the following option

# ./sapinst -nogui

I understand that, but the error message suggests that (since the GUI isn't running on the host) I can connect with sapinstgui from a remote machine.

As I said previously , start sapinst as follows :

# ./sapinst -nogui SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=50777 GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=60777

use port 60777 in the sapinstgui started on your remote windows machine.

Similar output to the original...

The process that should run the SAPinst GUI could not be started. Please make sure that a JDK is installed on this host and that SAPINST_JRE_HOME points to the root directory of your Java installation. As an alternative you may start the GUI on another host (for details please consult the installation guide).


Java has been started with the following command line:

Can you try using the IP address rather than the hostname

Hi Sandeep,

  This thread is a bit corrupted - My original request was with a problem I had running the sapinst gui on a windows machine, to connect to an installation I was performing on a Linux machine.

The full version of the thread (including my resolution of the problem) is over at http://scn.sap.com/thread/3182928

Hope this helps you !!

Can you please use a different set of ports for SAPINST .

Start sapinst with the following options

# ./sapinst SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=50777 GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=60777

You can use different ports as well.

Check if that works.

Regards

Thanks for the quick response, Ratnajit,

I get the same output (except of course for the port numbers).  Am I using the right directory levels for the JAVA_HOME and SAPINST_JRE_HOME variables - in other words, should they be pointing to the location of the JDK, the jre, or the bin ?

##### echo $JAVA_HOME

/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre/

##### echo $SAPINST_JRE_HOME 

/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre/ 

thanks

You actually do not need to set JAVA home as the SAPINST sets the environment SAPINST_JRE_HOME to the jre in the installation directory . So you do need to set it explicitly .

You can check any previous sapinst_dev.log file to check it.
