sapinst gui- hung - help please

[Former Member]

I installed central instance and database instance successfully, I have to add Java Stack for XI to work. When I am trying Java Add-In through sapinst gui as the sap and db were up and running. From the install first page of sapinst gui, i selected Java Add-In for ABAP> Oracle>Central System> Java System Finalization and clicked next, the installation hung. I tried restarting the server, left untouched for more than 6 hours.. nothing happening. I tried 3 to 4 times ..same result

Can somebody give a idea what may be happening.

I have Linux OS with Java 1.4.2_06 already installed.

I not seeing any error. I restarted the server and changed ulimit stack to unlimited, tried Java add-in fresh install and all the dance around

I see this on dev_selfex.out

tail -f dev_selfex.out

iaextract.c:250: extracting: iarfclib642.so

Hi Dhandu,

I got the same problem:

iaextract.c:636: No RC file /usr/sap/XE4/tmp/sapinst_exe.303434.1153571096/sfx.rc found, using builtin default.

iauxsysex.c:316: child 372950 has crashed. Executable directory is /usr/sap/XE4/tmp/sapinst_exe.303434.1153571096. Contact Support.

Heiko told you to start the sapinstgui from your desktop, did it resolved the problem?

Please give me reply.

Hi Dhandu,

did you install remotely by starting sapinst (including sapinstgui) on the server and having the output being displayed using an x server on your local desktop? I experienced similar problems in that constellation.

I could avoid them by starting just sapinst without the gui on the server (by calling "DISPLAY= sapinst") and running sapinstgui on my desktop (telling it the hostname and listening port of the sapinst server).

Best regards

Heiko
