Installation of ECC 6.0 having errors :(

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I am currently installing ECC6.0 on a AIX machine. Am currently at step 3 'Install common system files' but it seems to be hanging for no reason. I am pasting the later part of the logs. I have created the necessary mount points:

And it just stays there for the past 2-3 hours doing nothing, doesn't bomb out with any error. Does anyone know what is happening as the log files don't seem to be showing much. Thanks.

Yup, I have checked all required minimum filesets are present. Latest sapinst is already in use. I realised that it is actually stuck whilst doing 'Creating system directories for SAP system DEV'.

I have already created and mounted /sapmnt/DEV, /usr/sap/DEV as per the manuals. sapinst manages to create ccms and tmp within /usr/sap/DEV but after that it just doesn't move. Also tried creating all directories manually (including soft links) but it still gets stuck at the same place.

from keydb.xml:

<fld name="STEPKEY">

<strval><![CDATA[|NW_ABAP_Prepare|ind|ind|ind|ind|0|0|NW_System|ind|ind|

ind|ind|5|0|createSystemDirectories]]>

</strval>

</fld>

<fld name="STATUS">

<strval><![CDATA[ERROR]]>

When changing ERROR to OK just to try things out, I get stuck at the next point

<fld name="STEPKEY">

<strval><![CDATA[|NW_ABAP_Prepare|ind|ind|ind|ind|0|0|NW_System|ind|ind|

ind|ind|5|0|createDefaultProfile]]>

</strval>

</fld>

<fld name="STATUS">

<strval><![CDATA[ERROR]]>

</strval>

Any ideas what is missing here? OSS notes don't seem to be giving any clues.

I am also having the same issue for Java nw2004s install on Linux and oracle.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

Please check the rights and the owner of the home directory of your operation system users (SIDADM, ...). This could be the error!

chmod 755 /home/sidadm

chown sidadm:sapsys /home/sidadm

This could be the error! But if you will use the newest sapinst you will find the error message in sapinst_dev.log

Try to upgrade your SAPinst tools,

have you checked the requirement for AIX as per the SAP installation guide? for example:

#lslpp —L xlC.aix50.rte

The output must be at least 7.0.0.4.

#lslpp —L xlC.rte

The output must be at least 7.0.0.0.

Operating system

Check the operating system version with the following command:

lslpp -l bos.rte

The output must include the following

Found a similar thread here that is having the same issues. Any ideas anyone?
