Installation hangs @ Create Database Schema Stage.

[former_member185029]

Hello experts,

I am trying to install NWDS 2004S SP9 on my Windows XP system with Max DB as database.

But the installation does not go ahead of Create Database Schema stage.

I have even seen installation logs and did not find any problem.

I even kept the installation going on for 3-4 days, but this stage remains the same.

Please guide me why is it so and what could be done to complete installation?

Regards,

Ashutosh

Hello,

Problem:

If the database manager operator (control) user password contains the character "@", the db_create command gets stuck. If the database system administrator (superdba) user password contains the character "@", the db_activate command gets stuck. If the database user password contains the character "@", the "create user" command gets stuck.

Solution

Make sure you do not enter "@" in a database password.

-> Are you using the special characters in the passwords selected during the installation?

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Wow dude!

It realy worked

Indeed we were using @ in our password.

We simply changed password style and it worked.

Sorry dude, but I cannot give you more points than this (even I wish to)

I hope SAP will document this problem in installation guide so that many people can avoid such situation.

Thanks a lot once again.

I appreciate your help.
