I read the instruction I downloaded from market. I also read it on internet. Both of sites say I have to run SAPinst to install related products before I move to next step, which install entire product, Solution Manager 7.1. However, I didn't see this executable file. I am wondering where I can find it and then install it. I had already followed the steps I found on internet, but I didn't discover it in DVD even the file I downloaded from SAP market.
So, how do I install SAPinst? Or how do I install Solution Manager 7.1 without SAPinst?
Hi George,
I am not sure what is the content you got from internet, we have open guide in
service.sap.com, follow the link
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000735220&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&
you can get the dvds here
service.sap.com/swdc -> installation and upgrades -> A-Z -> S->SAP Solution manager
Thanks

Hi Jansi
I read them too, but I still confuse. Also, I downloaded the DVDs from where you mentioned the path. I never see SAPinst. I am wondering if I have to install this executable file first or not. If so, where can I get this executable file? Would you mind telling me which link I should click in "Installation Using SW Prov. mgt."? I also read the guide, Ins SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SR Windows-Sybase ASE, coming from "Installation Using SAPinst." In this guide, I also see "Run SAPinst" in installation section. However, there is no SAPinst in DVDs.
The source I read on internet is: http://www.sapbasismania.net/2012/07/how-to-install-sap-solution-manager-71.html
Thank you
hi,
there s no separate sapinst dvds, , its all inside the instance dvds.
Just each dvds, have self extractor which help to extractor all in order, where sapinst also available.
you can get the needed information in the inst guide page number 57, point 2. I refer windows/oracle/SM 7.1 Guide.
Sorry I cant give step by step procedure here.
Thanks
Jansi
Hi Jansi,
I am not sure what you say. You mean point 2 which refers to "Insert the installation DVD into........" is in the guide, Ins SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SR Windows-Sybase ASE. I have physical DVDs. The photo 2 is what I see in "Installation Master DVD". Wherever it runs on Win 2008 Server R2 or the OS on my laptop. I think SAPCAR used for Linux, doesn't it? As regards photo 1, I am not sure which one I should pick? Four of them don't look like executable files because I had download it. I confuse very much.

Thank you
Hi
The installation guide mentioned we need to run product under English OS version. Does it mean we have to do this under English OS version? If we extract the file under Chinese version, is it OK? I just extracted SAPCAR.exe, but it tells me it can't be compatible to my existing OS (Win Server 2008 R2, Chinese version, 64-bit).
Thank you.
Hi George,
Reason why im asking is because in the one screenshot (Photo 2) you are showing X86_64 and above you show IA64 there is a difference between the 2 version and if you use the wrong one it will not work.
But if you are sure you are using the correct version, then i would suggest to log an oss call to get further assistance from SAP.
Best Regards
Marius
Hi George,
I was just checking to make sure . Unless Jansi has any other ideas.
OSS is where you log a ticket to SAP directly for assistance,
Log into service.sap.com using OSS user Id (S###########).Click on support portal -> Help & Support -> Report a Product Error. Here you will see all the systems. Click on the system for which you are having issue. System will take you to the next screen. In search term write the area where you are having issue. Then system will take you to a tree structure. Select the area, fill other details and write your message and sumbit. Reply will come to My Inbox which you can see in the same screen.

Hi George,
Ok after you have dowbloaded the lastest vernio from SAP site you need to extract the .SAR files first using the "SAPCAR.exe -xvf SAPCAR -xvf SWPM.SAR" command and this will extract the files for you.
Once the files has been extracted then there will be a SAPINST.EXE which you can execute which will display the SAP INSTALLER GUI.
Best Regards
Marius
Hi Marius
So you mean I have to put the latest version into the same directory where the SAPCAR.exe is, don't I? If so, what if I use physical DVD to install this system? Do I need to copy all files to local disk or just copy the newest version to DVD? If not, will it automatically search the right directory for me?
Thank you
Hi Marius
As the picture I provided in forth comment above, there's no SAPinst.exe there(Whatever it is x86_64, IA64, or I386). It's all the same files as others which are for Linux I don't see any SAPinst in physical DVD. That's why I post my question here for solution. So do I still need to put SAPCAR and newest version together? Or Do I need to copy all files to local disk for extractioin?
Thank you
Hi George,
after you have donwloaded the latest version and placed into a folder you require SAPCAR
according to the pictures you send you still need to extract the files and for this you require to use SAPCAR
download the latest version place all in 1 folder and try and extract the .SAR file
best regards

Hi George,
please go through this document
http://www.easymarketplace.de/SAPCAR.php
here is also 2 sap notes
Note 212876 - The new archiving tool SAPCAR
Note 1732990 - Use SAPCAR.exe to extract .SAR file
Can you please paste the error you are getting in English as im unable to read the screen shots
Best Regards
Marius
Hi George
please have a look at the screenshot
yo will see i called SAPCAR_315-20010451.exe instead of just SAPCAR.exe because thats the name of the SAPCAR executeable in this screenshot.
your SAPCAR file name is SAPCAR_315.exe
what happends when you execute
SAPCAR_315.exe -xvf SWPM*.SAR
Please paste the results in English
Best Regards
Marius
Hi Marius
I mean the installation procedure. I am not sure which one would be the first to execute installtion because the interface is different from the procedure in installation guide. The first step in the guide is to find ,solution manager., and then find SAP systems. However, in my interface, I don't find them.
Thank you and best regards
Hi Marius
I have already downloaded all files from download center. However, it still has some problems. It shows that I have to use latest version. I have no idea why. The problem I got last week was solved, but today I try it one more time. It doesn't work. It failed to extract files to create sapinst.exe. Problems listed below:
best regards
Hi Marius
The extraction problem has been solved. Yet there's another problem here. The problem is the same as it happened last week. Pls see the 2nd picture, which refers to the problem, from this comment to the top. I don't see any step like the 3rd picture you provided from this comment to the top. I had already downloaded all files from "Support Portal > Download Center". I am not sure what happened to this. My interface is different from yours and the instruction. I use the latest version running on right system environment. I also comply with all steps the instruction show me and you told me. I am not sure if I execute correct files or not. Otherwise, this problem could not happen again.
thank you and best regards
Hi George,
please also have a look at the following
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3345612
I'm going through the documentation quickly myself

Hi Marius
How do I extract the file 70SWPM*.SAR that I have by command? I just tried it, but it just asked me to open this file. i think it failed to extract. Also, do I need to place them into one directory?
Besides, I read the documentation you provided me. You colleague say: "Go to Installation and upgrades and find S for solution manager. Then I will find software provisioning manager 1.0". After that, download "Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 SP01 for NW 7.0x". However, I can only find SP2 and SP3 in it. Where is SP 01?? Could you show me?
thank you and best regards,
George

Hi,
Sapinst is just a tool to install any sap system. To install solution manager you will have to download the required dumps of sap solution manager from service market place. When you use sapinst for installation it will ask for dumps and you will have to provide the path for downloaded dumps.
Its advisable to use latest sapinst for installation.

Prem
