SAP NW sneak preview install fails due to error on util_connect

[Former Member]

I am attempting to install netweaver sneak preview 2004s on a windows server. When I get to the MaxDB database installation step, the install fails and the following data is in the XCMDOUT.LOG log file:

Execute Command : c:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli.exe -n erp-2 -d J2E -u CONTROL,********

Execute Session Command : util_connect

Execute Session Command : exit

ERR

-24988,ERR_SQL: sql error

1,could not create comm. shared memory [5]

I get the same error when I attempt to provide the command util_connect manually as well.

Please let me know if you can provide any advice on fixing this issue.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

if you're installing on the target machine using a Windows Terminal Service (WTS) connection, then the reason for your issue should be explained in note 688028.

Please let me know if you can access that OSS note, if you don't have OSS, I can send you the relevant information.

Kind regards,

Roland
