Error while performing silent install of 10.1.0.2 infrastructure database

Hello,
I'm trying to create a silent install for a 10.1.0.2 database. I created the response file using the -record option for the installer. I then modified the response file according to the instructions in the app server installation documentation. When I run setup with the response file I get the follow error...

Why is the installer looking for ASControl? This should be a fresh install. Any help I can get would be much appreciated.

Hi Cliff
What is happening when you try to do the installation with OUI not in silent mode`?
Does it works?
Could it be possible to have the errors from the installation log please?
Thanks

Error while trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7

I am trying to install SAP CE 7.1 EHP 1 on Windows 7. I am getting below error while trying to install. can you please help to fix this problem?
Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: undefined
Commandline was msiexec.exe /norestart /L sapmmcX86u.log /i sapmmcX86u.msi /qn
If you want the installer to retry, choose Yes. If you want the installer to abort the installation, choose No.
Thanks,
Sridhar.

I donu2019t think so it is windows 7 or 64/32 bit hardware/software issue. I have faced u201Cmsiexec failed with return code 1603u201D error many times during SAP installation and solved this issue with below mentioned procedure.
Solution:
Just change the location of temp directory to empty folder in user environment variable without cancel installation in current user session. After that, click on yes button to continue the installation. If installation will ended after click on yes button, restart the installation with continue old installation option.
Regards.

Error while performing Risk Analysis at user level for a cross system user

Dear All,
I am getting the below error, while performing the risk analysis at user level for a cross system (Oracle) user.
The error is as follows:
"ResourceException in method ConnectionFactoryImpl.getConnection(): com.sap.engine.services.connector.exceptions.BaseResourceException: Cannot get connection for 120 seconds. Possible reasons: 1) Connections are cached within SystemThread(can be any server service or any code invoked within SystemThread in the SAP J2EE Engine), 2) The pool size of adapter "SAPJ2EDB" is not enough according to the current load of the system or 3) The specified time to wait for connection is not enough according to the pool size and current load of the system. In case 1) the solution is to check for cached connections using the Connector Service list-conns command, in case 2) to increase the size of the pool and in case 3) to increase the time to wait for connection property. In case of application thread, there is an automatic mechanism which detects unclosed connections and unfinished transactions.RC:1
Can anyone please help.

This part is just the place in the program where the error occured, but why the error occured is mentioned earlier in the dump.
Maybe you have a too big number in the field and hence a field overflow, maybe you have a character instead of a number in the field.
Read the dump from the beginning. if you dont know how to read a dump,then try to get help from any local Abaper.

Hi Prabhakar,
>> DBUA was disconnected with error Ora 1092 Oracle instance terminated.
But, as far as I understand that you didn't completed DB upgrade succesfully. Under this circumstance, you shouldn't change ORACLE_HOME variable to 11.2.0.2. I suggest you that complete Oracle upgrade (restart DBUA) and do not execute upgrade procedures, manually.

Problems performing silent install of CR XI Rel 2

We are using the instructions from the installation guide to perform a silent install by running the command
setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL EXCLUDEDOTNETFILES=1 EXCLUDEJAVAFILES=1 EXCLUDERDCFILES=1 CLIENTLANGUAGE=EN REBOOT=ReallySuppress PIDKEY=(actualKey) INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5" /live c:\temp\cr_11.log /qn
The installation runs but fails at the end of the installation when attempting to put the shortcuts in the users or All users Start Menu with the error of MainEngineThread is returning 1603 (when under user ID) or MainEngineThread is returning 1604 (when under All Users). The installation is being run with an administrator access login ID, so access to either area should not be a problem.
The installation is on both Windows 2000 and XP pc's and the win32 directory of the msi installation files have been copied locally to the machine as part of the process to eliminate network lag.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this?

Check the readme and help files on how to.

Connection error while performing basic settings SOLMAN 4.0 SP12

Hi All,
We are currently facing a problem while performing Solution Manager 4.0 (SP12) basic configurations through the IMG Wizard. Within the "Initial Configuration Part I" section, an error while connecting to SAP is obtained (This is the full error message "Error creating communication to SAP Service and Support"). After checking at TX SM59, it was noticed that the RFC connections SAP-OSS y SAP-OSS-LIST-O01 (what are supposed to be created in previous steps by copying SAPOSS connection) were no created. We created them both manually (also tested) and everything was ok. We started the Wizard again, and the same error was obtained. However, it was noticed that the SAP-OSS RFC connection had been deleted. The system log shows the following:
00789 - Dialog work process No. 000 - XXXXXX - EQUIPO - 1 - SM_CONFIG_WZ - M_CONFIG_WZ_START - T - Transaction Problem - STSK
The same scenario occurs every time the above wizard is used.
It worth to mention that the SAPOSS connection works fine and also, just to perform a test, I was able to download a note correction through the SNOTE transaction.
Where should I check to see what is causing this connection error? Do I missing a previous configuration step?
Also, would be very helpful for us to get an step by step reference guide for SM configuration. We want to be sure we are no missing or mixed up anything.
Thanks so much for your help.
Regards

Why do you start configuration for SP12, although most current version is SolMan 7.0 EhP1 SPS19?
What scenarios / functions are you planning to use?

Error while trying to install Oracle 8.15 on Redhat 6.1

I have been trying to install Oracle 8i (8.15) on my machine but I got an error while trying to run runInstaller:
Initializing java virtual machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad Address
FYI:
- I downloaded the Oracle 8i from the technet download site (I am not using a CD)
- I am using Redhat 6.1
- I downloaded and installed JRE as advised in the documentation.
- My machine is a AMD K6, so is non-intel but I have not noticed any other problems using Redhat.
- I currently only have 96MB RAM as opposed to the recommended 128MB.
Please Help!!!
null

(All comments are based on redhat 6.0, not sure about other distros)
If u are only using one linux machine, then I don't think you need to have 'DISPLAY' defined. Unset it then. This variable tells X clients where to display its X output. If unsetting does not make it work, then try 'export DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0' and then 'xhost +ip_address', where ip_address is the IP of your machine, or try 127.0.0.1.
If u have two linux machines, like what I did:
* Ran X on client machine (192.168.0.2).
* Telnet to server machine (192.168.0.1 - where 8i will be installed), login as 'oracle'
* On the telnet session, I 'su' as root then mounted the CD, then 'exit' to return to the 'oracle' login on the telnet session.
* On the telnet session, I did 'export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0' - telling it that all X clients on this telnet session will send its X output to the host on 192.168.0.1.
* On the client machine (where X is running), opened another shell, did a 'xhost +192.168.0.1' - telling the X server on the client machine to accept X connections from the server machine (192.168.0.1).
* Went back to the telnet session to the server machine, then ran the installer.
In short, everything you do can be done remotely, apart from putting the CD on the server machine.
The installer runs on the server but send its output to the client.
