Sapinst not started in EP 6.0 on Unix

[Former Member]

Dears,

I need to apply Java patch on EP 6.0 which is on Oracle with HP-UNIX.

I have set DISPLAY variable by:

setenv DISPLAY 192.163.193.155:0.0

My environmental variables:

DISPLAY=192.163.193.155:0.0

but when i execute ./sapinst it shows error:

guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host MSLPBD, port 21212

to continue with the installation

Output of xclock is :

Error: Can't open display: 192.163.193.155:0.0

192.163.193.155-is my desktop IP

192.163.193.155 is also pingable from server.

Please what could be the possible solution of this issue.

Hello,

Plz check file /etc/nsswitch.conf .If this is not exist plz create one by copying only nsswitch.files. After that plz restrt dtlogin service by

1. /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop

2. /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

ater that check from Xhost to connect. than start your next process.

i think, problem will be resolve after that.

Hi,

try remote install. Start installation on your UNIX box and connect to it with gui running on windows machine. Did that trick on AIX and worked out.

Hi,

You must install some application on your desktop such as Xwindows or Exceed from Hummingbird...Then launch it.

Set your Environnement variables

Set your Java_Home

Set yoru DISPLAY Param

launch ./sapinst

good luck

[Former Member]

Issue resolved....

nsswitch.conf file was not on server.

You need to have an Xserver running at your desktop in order to display the GUI.

Hi Jaun,

Thanks for the reply.

I executed ./sapinst after opening Xmanager window.This it also showed the message :

guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host MSLPBD, port 2121

to continue with the installation

But then showed :

guiengine: login in process.

And opend one GUI window but that was a Welcome window and not containing any component option or anything just a white window on which mentioned Welcome to Netweaver Installation and nothing else.

and login in process is running for a long time.

Means i think it's not getting connected to server...

Plz suggest.

I can't see SAPINST_JRE_HOME

Setup SAPINST_JRE_HOME with the same value as JAVA_HOME.

Also what version of J2SDK are you using?

Regards

Juan

[Former Member]

Hi Juan,

You are right that my variable SAPINST_JRE_HOME was not set.

I set it to the same as JAVA_HOME i.e. /opt/java1.4

but no improvement same issue.

From JAVA_HOME path I think J2SDK version is 1.4

Please suggest.

I can't understand, you can connect with Xmanager or not ? Are you login in your server trougth Xmanager ?

Regards.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am not able to login on the server by Xmanager.

All other servers of our lanscape are available on Xmanager,except this one.

So I am trying to do without Xmanager.I tried with other softwares also but not able to login.

Showing XDCMP Connection failed.

In Xmanager you will have Xbrowser, try to open it, after press on "tools" --> "options" in "NEW address" add your server IP, press add and OK. Are your server Has appeared In X browser ? If not it's looks like the FIRE WALL are works ... Regards.

[JPReyes]

just try execute xclock on that box... if you can see the clock you should be able to display th gui

Regards

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have already added the server but we double click on it to get connected it shows the message

XDCMP Connection failed.

We have also confirmed with our Network team that there is no Firewall working.

Please suggest....

Hi Jaun,

Command Xclock is also generating error:

Error: Can't open display: 192.168.193.155:0.0

One ore thing i noticed that when I set env variable and then logout and get login again,I don't find the those variables that I set..Should I need to do something additional to set these variables permantely.

Please suggest.

Are you have second Network card on your PC? I'm have same bug one time ( the Wmvare mashine are installed and the Network bridge are open in my case) as you I could work with the some HP-UX , but some are not, yet has not switched-off the second network card. Also check the versions HP-UX where you can work are same of this HP-UX or not?

If you use the HP_UX 11.31 --> read the http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=1249843

Regards.

[Former Member]

Try to run it from the cmd with the hostname like DVD path>sapinst.exe SAPINST_USE_HOST=<hostname>

see if it works
