You'll need to install a Dialog or Application server...
You can find the instructions on how to install an application server for BW at SAP MArketplace.
Go to https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/instguides -> SAP NetWeaver -> Release 04 -> Instalation -> SAP BW
Hope this help!

Install additional "dialog" instance on another drive on the server

We are running NW2004S (SR2) with BW on SQL 2000, Windows 2003 on a two-node cluster. We have an existing ABAP/Java instance installed on
the "C" drive (#11) on one of the servers. I would like to install
another dialog instance on the same server as instance "01" on the "D"
drive, but when I run the install (sapinst) and select "custom", the
installation recognizes the existing instance on "C" and doesn't give
me the ability to install the new instance on "D" (just "C"). How can
I install this instance on the "D" drive ? Do I need to uninstall the
existing "11" instance on "C". Also, on this server there are two "enq"
server processes installed (ABAP #30, and Java #35) on the "C" drive -
what happens with them ?

Hi Ruchit,
I did specify the CI node when referencing the SAP profiles in the cluster and they are all recognized. My problem is that the installation only gives me the ability to install on the "C" drive. As a follow-up, SAP stated that since this is an additional dialog instance install, sapinst will perform the installation wherever the "saploc" shared says (in my case "C" - /usr/sap). It appears that if I want to basically move my existing dialog instance (11) from the "C" drive to the "D" drive, I need to uninstall the instance, along with the "enq" instances, then re-install the instance on the "D" drive.

How to Install a Dialog Instance on NT server which CI is running on Unix

Dear expert:
Recently, we wanna add new dialog instance for our production system, but only one NT server can be used. Our SAP version is ECC6.0 SR3 and it's CI is running on HPUX 11.31. steps below:
1. I have configed the SAMBA with shared /sapmnt -> /usr/sap. Also from NT side this directory can be accessed.
2. I have add the <SID>adm and SAPService<SID> into SAMBA for access this directory with read and write rights.
3. I installed the DI on NT server with x86 master.(our NT is windows 2003 x64 SP2)
4. during the installation, the Master needs a directory named 'saploc' ( I think this should be only for NT with CI has this shared directory name, but no idea how to make this also in UX, so i create a new directory in UX named saploc and also share it). Is this normally?
5. At the end, the DI in NT can not be running normally..first is dispwork.exe can not running. After I change the rights for 'saploc' in ux, the dispwork is running but can not connected to message server.
6. I have updated the kernel for DI and make sure both the DI and CI has same version 236.
7. After that , the disp+work.exe can never been running anymore
8. I reboot the NT server try to fix this issue. but too bad! after reboot, I can not even start the DI from SAPMMC! with error 'permission deniedu2018..
My question:
1. do any one of yours has such experiences before? I mean install app server on different OS system.
2. Is that possible for SAP ECC6.0 SR3, since I know that lots of successful storys for 46C or 470
3. If it is possible.. how to ....
Hope yous can give me some suggestions!
Regards
Ethern

Hi my friend
Did you check note 680617? Sorry I don't have hands on experience for this matter but I'm quite sure it's doable and fully supported.
Here's the checklist I can imagine:
1. release the /usr/sap directory as SAPMNT -- you already did and made sure it can be accessed from NT server
2. edit DEFAULT.PFL in the profile directory and add the parameter SAPGLOBALHOST to it -- you didn't indicate
3. have your target X86_64 kernel directory ready on CI HPUX host -- you didn't indicate but you did finish the DI install
4. use SAPPAD to edit DI profile
5. optional steps for oracle
Please let me know what progress you have there.
Thanks,
Effan

How to install a dialog instance on AIX

OS: AIX 5.2

Dear Narendra,
this is the Linux Forum you are posting. You may get help here, but I suggest that you open the question in the UNIX Forum ([SAP on UNIX|SAP on UNIX]) instead.

Is it really necessary to re-install the dialog instances?

Hi,
We are upgrading from NW04 (WAS 6.40) to NW04s (WAS 7.00) ABAP SR2 only on Windows 2003 with Oracle 9i. There is no JAVA stack in our environment and we don't need it.
In production system we have five separate dialog instances on five different physcial machines. All these application servers runnon Windows 2003 as well.
Reading through the NW04s upgrade guide "SAP NetWeaver 2004s
Application Server ABAP" dated 28th November 2006,
section 6.26 states we have to "install the new dialog instance on top of the old dialog instance".
In the past upgrades eg. upgrade to NW04, we did not have to use SAPINST to re-install the dialog instance. Instead, the official NW04 (WAS6.40) upgrade guide just instructs us to amend instance profile parameters and copy the new version of kernel binaries either manually or using sapcpe.
I want to avoid doing this re-installation work for the five dialog insatnces. Because I want to reduce the production outage period.
Question all the upgrade experts
1) Does any one have experience that indicates I should follow the SAP documentation to un-install 6.40 instance and then re-install at 7.00 level again?
2) Also, what is the technical reason to uninstall and re-install?
The full section 6.26 section paragraph is pasted here.
6.26 Upgrading or Installing Dialog Instances
After the upgrade of the central instance, you need to upgrade the dialog instance to the new release.
To do this, you install the new dialog instance on top of the old dialog instance using the tool SAPinst.
You can now also install additional dialog instances, if necessary.
Procedure
Proceed as described in the document Installation Guide ‒ <SAP NetWeaver / SAP solution> <Technology> on
<Operating System>: <Database>.
Caution
If you upgrade a dialog instance, make sure to use the same instance number as on the source release.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your detailed response. Our system is very much heavy batch processing oriented. Therefore our management does not want to hand over the production system until all dialog instances are ready at the new version.
It would be great if the upgrade process is quick as you pointed out.
Can you show me where this "upgrade dialog instance" option in V7 SAPINST? FYI. I should be able to start sapinst over the next few days to look for this upgrade option.
However, I just got a response from ASIA-PACIFIC OSS that says I have to un-install and re-install the existing dialog instance. Their response is as follows :
The dialog instance does not need to be upgraded since in the dialog
instance, no database exists but only the kernel files and some
profiles exist. After the upgrade, you should re-install the dialog
instance since in the central instance, the kernel release has been
changed to 700 due to the upgrade. But in the old dialog instance,
it should still have the old release kernel files and profiles.
Thus, by using reinstallation, the new release kernel files will be
installed in the dialog instance.
As to the procedure, you should uninstall the old instance firstly since during the installation, the files will be put to the same path of the
old instance.We recommend you to backup the old dialog instance files
before the installation.Sorry there is no related note but you can refer to the upgrade and installation guides.
Thanks for your input and assistance.

Install new Dialog Instance on 64-bit Server with 32-bit database

I need to set up a new Application Server for our current ECC 5.0 32-bit Oracle 9.2.0.7 Non Unicode Database. The new server is x64-bit and will have Windows 2003 64-bit OS. I am reading SAP notes 785888 and 814834 and need help understanding how exactly to do this. The database server is 32-bit Windows 2003 and so is all the other application servers. Do I use the Oracle 9.2.0 client for 32-bit Oracle and do I use the SAP ECC X64 Install Master in setting up the dialog instance or do I use the 32-bit Install master? Has anyone done this type of setup before? Thanks.

Hi,
all basic information is provide in note 785888.
you want to install dialog install on 64bit windows for 32 bit central instance for that you should consider following.
-> file system is accessible from both host vice a versa for that you can create one use sapinst on 64 bit host with administrator authorization. and create same user on central instance with administrator authorization and same password.
-> perform dialog instance installation using this user ( i.e sapinst)
-> if you want to use dialog instance on 64 bit host with 64 bit kernel, install oracle client 10.2 for 64 bit on 64 bit host of windows. for media information check note 949116.
->use non unicode kernel because central instance use non unicode kernel.
-> most important 64 bit dialog instance required 64 bit kernel, SAPinst installation screen ABAP System > Instance Directories, where you are asked for the "Location of SAP System Executable", you choose "Yes, locate executables on central instance host", before choosing "Next". The executables for the dialog instance are installed to
<sapglobalhost>\sapmnt\<sapsid>\SYS\exe\<nuc\uc>\NT<AMD64|IA64|I386>*
so when you want to apply kernel patch you have to uncar the kernel package to this location.
-> maintain the kernel patch level same on both host.

How to install 2 oracle homes on singl windows host

Hi Experts,
I am planning to install two sap R/3 4.7 ext200 SR1 instances on windows 2003. I already installed DEV instance & planning for QAS.
I am confused about how to install two ORACLE softwares on single windows host.
I search on internet there for windows they are pointing to the registry value
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software\Oracle\inst_loc.
I am not able to understand what I have to do with this ?
Can you please help me to understand & execute this.
Thanks,
Sachin

Sachin,
Go throuth this link to understand more about Oracle Inventory and Oracle Homes software update.
http://cs.ifmo.ru/~ad/Documentation/oracle-10g-lib-doc/em.101/b12140/3_oui_oracle_homes.htm#i1005634
The current entry is picked from the PATH vairable of the system and user that you have logged on. This is because you have already done 1 Oracle Installation on the host.
Keep in mind that you choose the correct oracle home while installing and in future updating Oracle software (patchset, Interim Pactches...)
You can give a seperate path for Oracle Inventory. Just go thru to the existing folder of OraInventory in Program files you will understand it better.
It is used to install and update the Oracle software in the oracle home that you will choose in your next step.
All the Best,
Nilesh

Installing Java Dialog Instance - Error while connecting to DB

We would like to add a dialog instance to our production Portal server. We installed Portal as stand-alone on the central instance. We have another server we would like to setup to serve as a Portal dialog instance.
So far I have installed Windows 2003 Server Standard. Installed MSSQL server client tools (database is mssql server). Installed jdk 1.4.62. Set java home and path environmental variables. I'm now installing the Java dialog instance (I can't find any documentation on this). From Netweaver installation CD> SAP NetWeaver '04 Support Release 1> Java System> MS SQL Server> Dialog Instance Installation>
SAP System ID: (sid) ES2
Central Host: SAPEPS02
Path to JAVA DVD supplied> JDK Directory confirmed> Domain paramaters confirmed> domain<sid> account passwords supplied> domain<service><sid> account password supplied> Instance number confirmed>
Installation started> It gets to step 8 and fails stating "Error while connecting to DB". I looked through all the log files and couldn't come up with anything (i'm very thorough).
I tried adding the users to the database as dbowners (no luck). I installed SQL server 2000 with SP4. No where during this installation did I get prompted for database parameters?
Is there something basic i'm missing? Does this scenario not work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of the correct documentation would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Brad Dridi

Hi Brad,
I am facing the same problem. I hope by now you must have got the solution for this.
Can you please let me know how did you overcome this situation?
Thank you!!

How to Uninstall Java Dialog Instance

Does anyone know how to uninstall a Java Dialog instance?
The install instructions, 'SAP Web Application Server 6.40 SR1 Java on Windows: MS SQL Server' suggest that I should go to the control panel and select the add/remove program and then find the instance and remove it. However, the instance does not appear in the list.
Note: I have the ABAP stack (DEV) and the java stack (JDV) installed on the same box. But, the java stack is not an add-in. The ABAP stack instance does appear in the add/remove program list.

ok Doug,
i've a workaround for that.
Go to registry editor.IF YOU Find the Service corresponding to J03(SAP<SID>_03). Delete it. (if you want to be fail safe, export that contents to a file using FILE --> EXPORT and then delete it. you may import it later if you want). and RESTART the PC.
this process will ensure that there is no instance according to your system (coz no registry entry is found). it is as good as removed. but the files that were created during the instance installation will remain in your hard drive.
IN CASE you need this instance later or this workaround gives you any trouble, just import the registry contents file which you have exported earlier and RESTART THE PC.
it is as good as it was!!!
this is an easy work around but slightly risky as u are fiddling with your SYSTEM REGISTRY ENTRIES.
Regards
Arun.
PS: Remove the corresponding entry in the WINDOWS SERVICES file. otherwise, it will give PORT IN USE during later installation with instance number 03.

Printing from additional dialog instance didn't works

Hello to all!
I installed a new dialog instance and found that I can't print anything from this instance.
I see an error in the SP01:
Log:
I think that it could be a permission problems. How can I checked it ?
Also I found that I have too /usr/sap/EW3/SYS/global/ directory.
One on the central instance and second on the dialog instance host. So I have too spool catalogs. My instances has no any shared directories.
Could it be a problem too ?
Thanks a lot for helping !

Hi Igor
1. Is this any error message in SM21 log? on ST22 any dumps?
2. At the time of the releasing the printouts what is the status of Spool work process status? and also how many Spool work process are you having in the one SID?

How to install SSAS Cluster instance with Always On availability group(Standalone database instance) in same windows cluster servers

We have requirement like to Install the SSAS as Cluster instance where SQL Server Database engine was installed with Always On availability group.Please help me to how configure it
Currently we have following configuration in Current steup.
Node1 and Node2 are in windows cluster
Node1 has SQL Server Database engine Instance1 as Standalone
Node2 has SQL Server Database engine Instance2 as Standalone
Instance1 and Instance2 configured for Always On availability group with Listener.
Now we have to steup SSAS instance with High availibilty. I know we have only option is to install cluster SSAS instance.
Can some one provide information below.
1. How to steup Cluster SSAS instance in this servers.
2. Is this will have any dependancy on exisiting Listner name.
3. Is this affects the availiblity groups, if SSAS instance failed over to another node.
Thanks in Advance
Sriram

You will need to have SSAS installed as a clustered instance with shared storage. Refer to the whitepaper from this MSDN article
How To Cluster SQL Server Analysis Services
Availability Group is in it's own Role/Resource Group. When you create the clustered SSAS, it will create its own Role/Resource Group. This means that it will require its own virtual network name and virtual IP address and will not affect the existing Availability
Group. You can also have it on the existing Availability Group if you want to. However, you need to decide if you want SSAS to failover with the Availability Group or not. Your design choices will depend on that decision.
