Problem with ECC6 Install Using MAXDB

[Former Member]

Hello fellow SAP enthusiasts,

I am currently doing an ECC 6.0 install on a windows server and am installing MAXDB 7.6.00 build 35.

I am encountering an issue on step 12, which for me is the

Create Database Instance step.

Here is the last few lines of the install log :

*My problem is that the install has been hanging on this phase for at least 5 hours, and there has been no activity.

I have installed the Sun Java 1.4.2_16 both 32-bit AND 64-bit software. And have at sufficient space on the server. Am I missing anything you guys could suggest?

Any help will be welcome and rewarded.

Thank you,

Brad.*

I´m sure the system is not "hanging" but creating the data files. Depending on the speed of your harddisk this can take some time.

Check the file "knldiag" if you see any "formatting remaining xxxxx pages" there.

Hi Markus,

Thank you for replying.

Here is the output of knldiag :

I'm pretty sure it's not doing as you stated.

Can you offer any other insights?

Might it be an incorrect Java version?

I have tried 1.4.2_12, 1.4.2_15, 1.4.2_16.

Thanks in advance.

One more thing, Markus.

The database is not growing, and none of the log files have changed in over 3 hours.

Can this be normal? If it is, then I am just being paranoid, but I'd like to be sure.

Thanks

Are you on 32bit windows?

Markus

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

No, using a 64-bit HP server with RAID 5 config and 6GB of RAM.

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

Ok - and you are using the 64bit Java from

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/SAPsite/download.html

Markus

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Ok guys,

I changed my version of java to _15 and just left the install overnight.

Seemed to have worked this morning, so really happy about that.

Thanks for the help Markus, full rewards to you.
