Hi Team,

Greetings for the day.

We are installing SAP ERP6 EHP6 IDES on windows server 2003 and using 70SWPM10SP02_4-20009707 SWPM to install same.

When I was trying to  execute sapinst.exe  following message appeared.

Oct 9, 2013 1:24:44 PM [Info]: "C:\DOCUME~1\Administrator.MBDC3\Local Settings\Temp\sapinst_exe.4648.1381310638\jre/bin/java" -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xmx256M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -cp "C:\DOCUME~1\Administrator.MBDC3\Local Settings\Temp\sapinst_exe.4648.1381310638\jar\instgui.jar" SDTGui host=localhost port=21212 service=SAPinstService -noauth

guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host mbdc3, port 21212 to continue with the installation

We are not able to proceed with installation. Below is the Java version detail.

java version "1.6.0_35"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01, mixed mode)

Any help is appreciated. Waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Thanks,

Pramod

Can you try setting your env variable TEMP or TMP to some path that doesn't contain spaces.
Maybe create C:\temp and set the TEMP environment variable to that.

Are you sure that SAP ERP 6.0 EHP6 IDES is supported on Windows Server 2003? Please check PAM for this info. About java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: please check java version provided with swpm tool and provide results here.

hi Pramod,

Error is shown above, Port 21212 is not free, I hope, another process is using this port, Please find and kill process and try again.

did you try with J2SDK 1_4_2 if not then please try with it and use the SIDadm user for installation.

Hello,

It looks like problem with JAVA version. Could you please unset JAVA_HOME variable and again execute SWPM ? (SWPM uses it's own SAPJVM)

Thanks,

Hello,

I just checked that you are trying to install EHP6 IDES on window 2003. But EHP6 is not supported on window 2003.

Hi Pramod,

I was facing the same problem and I just unset SAPINST_JRE_HOME and it works out.

I followed Sunny's idea.

I don't know if you already fixed it but here is the solution I have found.

Hello Pramod

I was stacked in same problem and not able to continue to migrate JDK to SAPJVM. I have unset the SAPINST_JRE_HOME variable and its works out for me to continue the migration.
