Installation problem

[Former Member]

Hi team,

Here i have done installation of ecc 6.0Before starting the installation the system showed some information me saying that : "You started an installation of the software for platform I386 but sapinst is running on platform AMD64."I carried out the installation and it was suxcessful.

Now i cannot come back as i have applied the sap licence. Will this create a big issue and will this effect the system performance.

Can some one give their valuable suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

If your familiar with Client Export i suggest you to leave the 32-bit system up as it is and installation the 64-bit SAP System on the same system and make client import in the new system. In this way you will get 64-bit SAP and your customizing data. After successful completion uninstall the 32-bit system...

What's the purpose of this system? If it's a sandbox, just let it be.

Hi Sandeep

If it's really unlucky that you installed 32bit SAP application on x64 platform, it should be another way to fix this without bigger damage. After functional guys go back to home, and then you can:

detach the 32bit database;

uninstall the current SAP system;

reinstall the correct x64 SAP system;

detach the new database;

attach the former 32bit database;

use STM to finish the following steps for database copy and database schema converting.

If it doesn't help don't mind, because it's very dangerous to have SAP running on such a inconsistent combination platform....

Hi sapdeep,

The AMD64 processor Architecture does not support the i386 32 bit installation So U have to install oracle x64, & down load Master & kernal DVD for X64 installation.

Start with it.

Hi,

you need to perform homogeneous system copy. ( downtime required)

take the complete database backup. install oracle x64 and restore the backup. and install 64 bit SAP system for existing DB ( system copy)

check Note 960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64)

Thank You kaushal for the help.

But for now the system is running very much fine. I have upgraded my kernel and applied all the latest support patches. Till then will it create any issue. That means can i do this upgration part after a spam of 3-4 months.

I hope so that i can get some grace period of time.

Please suggest.Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The AMD64 processor Architecture does not support the i386 32 bit installation.

so using this combination you lose SAP support so better to change as early as possible.

It seems you installed a 32bit SAP system on a 64bit operating system. This is not supported. I suggest you reinstall using a 64bit kernel and 64bit Java JDK.
