sapinst SAPINST_ERRORSTEP=true

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

In the installation process of EP 7.0 we want to skip a step. We try modifying file "keydb.xml" (changing "ERROR" by "OK") but SAPinst don't skip step.

Also we try execute "./sapinst SAPINST_ERRORSTEP=true" but I don't understand because SAPinst begins to execute from the first step. Is it usual?

Are there other ways to skip steps in sapinst?

thanks

Hi,

I think you mean

./sapinst SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true

Hi Graham,

Yes, I wrote bad; "./sapinst SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true"; it must begin again the installation?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it will always start from step 1, but it will recognise that those steps have already been performed and should go through them very quickly. When it gets to the error step it should bypass the issue.

You don't include the line in the xml file, you just execute it as an switch on sapinst

./sapinst SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true
