Netweaver SR3 Installation - No option to install SAP System

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are trying to install NW04s SR3 from the DVD shipment.

We have started the installation master CD:

51033511_11

However, in the SAPinst, we do not see an option to install SAP Netweaver system.

The options under SAP Netweaver are:

Standalone Engines

Optional Standalone Units

Software Lifecycle options

Can someone please tell us if SR3 installation is possible, or we need to upgrade from SR2 ?

Thanks

Ed

Hi Ed,

It seems that you must be attempting to install on a 32-bit platform. Please see Note 1052298:

>SAP system installation only on 64-bit platforms (exception: you can

>install dialog instances furtheron on 32-bit platforms):

>As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 and Business Suite 2005 SR3 (SAP ERP 6.0,

>SAP CRM 5.0 SR3, SAP SCM 5.0 SR3, SAP SRM 5.0 SR3) you can only install

>dialog instances on 32-bit platforms. All remaining SAP system instances

>(central instance, database instance, central services instance (SCS),

>ABAP central services instance (ASCS)) you can only install on 64-bit

>platforms. Therefore the folder "SAP Systems" is not available on the

>"Welcome screen", when you start the installation from a installation

>master DVD for 32-bit.

Best Regards,

Matt
