Problems found after checking database configuration of server

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Though this problem has been addressed before. .I couldn’t get a clear idea.

I get the error. .

_________________________________________________________

"Wrong Server Collation; J2EE installation requires SQL Latin 1 General CP850 Bin 2 Collation.

MS SQL Server Patch is too low; please read the note 62988;

These problems must be fixed before continuing installation."

_________________________________________________________

I installed SQL Server 2000 SP3. And in type radio button, Choose Custom and then proceeded to choose the collation designator latin1_General and sort order as Binary as advised in the note (service.sap.com).

Now I am trying to install SAPinst for netweaver Installation. Then the above error is repeated again and again and again and again. I have been trying it since 5days going through service.sap.com/SDN,have gone through various notes and even installed the hot fix provided at (service.sap.com) still I get the following error:

hi all,

When i try to connect to. .It says

The current collation is Latin1_General1_BIN, Not SQL_Latin1_General1_Cp850_BIN

Then install the Unicode hotfix(QFE)

Hi John,

It still didnt solve. .

Now i have the following error.

Wrong Server Collation; J2EE installation requires

SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_Bin2 Collation

These problems must be fixed to continue. .

Any other thoughts about this issue.

Thanx in advance.

Regards,

Mohan

Hi Mohan,

Are you still trying to run the same sapinst from when you got the original error? What I mean is that when you were running the sapinst the first time and got the error, did you stop sapinst so you could restart it? If so, this is probably your issue. A lot of times sapinst just keeps repeating the same error even after you have fixed the problem.

You probably need to cancel the sapinst and start from the begining.

Hope this helps,

John
