Hi Shaik,
Follow these steps while installing XI:
1. Windows server or advanced server with latest service patch.
2. IE 6.0 with latest service patch
3. Install Microsoft office and winzip, acrobat
4. Install JDK with version 1.4.2_03 or above with the corresponding JVM
5. Install the SAP GUI 6.20
6. Make sure that you have hard disk space of 10 GB in C drive and 50 GB in the installation drive.
7. Make sure the virtual memory is between 512 and 1594 or above for the installation drive.
8. Copy the dumps of following DVDs into the installation drive.
Installation Master DVD
Installation Export
Additonal Components for SAP BW/SAP XI,SAP MI,SAP KW
SAP Web As Java
9. Start the installation from the DVD dump Installation Master DVD.
10. When installing the ABAP Database the SID of the oracle default database should be different the ABAP database SID.
U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)
u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)
or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation
<a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/05/31/my-experience-with-xi-installation-on-fedora-core-3-linux installation</a>
In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.
At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.
U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.
ABOUT XI :
If its just that you wanted to know more about sap xi....then the information below should definitely help you.
The best way to learn XI would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.
First I thought I will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI. This is very essential for a beginner.
First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.
You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and then begin your design steps. To import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.
Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.
Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.
Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is where you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.
You assign your business system to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once youre done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.
You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.
Also I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Further, this thread deals with everything that is needed for a starter on XI. Do check them out,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement
/message/527697#527697 [original link is broken]
And after you are done with the documentation probably you can go through this scenario,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement
Also check the following threads which might help you a little more,
Learning XI
XI 3.0 Training
In simple words regarding learning XI, there is an abundance of information on SDN and help.sap.com. So I think it will be better for you to search information there rather than me just providing you links.which will just go on and on and on.so I felt it is better for you to go and search so that not only you get information on SAP XI but also explore SDN in its real sense.

SAP-XI System Installation and Learning help

Hi!!,
I'm working as "ABAPer" from last 5 years. Recently I installed Miniwas 620(ABAP) from a CD I got through by SAP book purchase. I'm able to do a lot ABAP things in my system.
Now I'm planning to Upgrade my knowledge to XI. I studied lot of material in SDN(thanks!! to all the contributors). I have fair knowledge of XI functionality and each component. Now I think I should be sitting in front of system to play around and learn. I thought of using my system. I have following queries on this.
1. Does my system has XI components?. I'm able to get into
XI based Easy access menu, but If i click on any node for example 'start integration builder' I get a message 'address not maintained'. I'm not sure How do I install or configure all the components. Can any one help in this.
2. If I can not install in my system, what is the best way to learn XI.
3. In real time projects, what is the role of a XI-consultant and XI-developer( I'm seeing two kind of certifications in SAP site ). I just wanted to know to analyze where do I fit in.
4. Any good training around, Problem with SAP training is they do not have one course with full XI.
5. Any idea how is SAP's Online-course material?, Is it read only or interactive?. how it looks like?. Is paying $500 for each course is worth or not?
I really appreciates your Inputs on each of queries.
Thanks!!
Prit

Nope, you do not have XI components. XI 3.0 runs on Web AS 6.40 ABAP + Java Stack. One more thing.. There is no sneak preview for XI and no free downloads.
2. If I can not install in my system, what is the best way to learn XI.
Through Training either from SAP or some third party companies.
3. In real time projects, what is the role of a XI-consultant and XI-developer( I'm seeing two kind of certifications in SAP site ). I just wanted to know to analyze where do I fit in.
The role of XI Developer is to get the requirements of Source and Target systems, creating the maps, developing BPM (Business Process Management) where needed, development of custom adapter modules etc.
The Certifications are 1. Basis 2. XI Developer
TBIT 40, 50 and 51 are for Basis and
TBIT 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 are Developers
4. Any good training around, Problem with SAP training is they do not have one course with full XI.
Heard some third party people are giving training, some of our forum members may know about it and if you provide a contact mail id they might get in touch with you.
5. Any idea how is SAP's Online-course material?, Is it read only or interactive?. how it looks like?. Is paying $500 for each course is worth or not?
It is the price you pay to learn, if there are cheaper ways you can always explore.
I tried to answer as much as I can, other forum members might come up with good suggestions.
Good luck.

Issue regarding Thin Installer and driver packages

Hello everybody,
I have recently started to work for a new company and have been tasked with creating a new Windows deployment solution.
My company are using Lenovo desktop and laptop and my installation image use Thin Installer to deploy drivers to our workstations during Windows deployment.
I have been having some difficulties getting everything to work and I want to write about it here to hopefully help someone in the same situation as me and call out for better quality control at Lenovo.
Here are the command line I call to start Thin Installer from the local computer:
START /WAIT thininstaller.exe /CM -search A -action INSTALL -repository \\wds\lenovo -noicon -showprogress -IncludeRebootPackages 1,3,4 -noreboot
Hers the issues I have expirienced:
1. Sometimes packages downloaded with Update Retriever will be set to "Reboot type: Forces a reboot" as default. This causes the Thin Installer to reboot reguardless of the -noreboot switch.
Its possible to change reboot type "Requires a reboot" in Update Retriever and than the updates installs fine.
This causes problem with scripted installs where you cannot have the system reboot "out of order".
Updates should never be default "forces a reboot".
2. On my Thinkcenter e93z (10B8) the Intel Displaydriver (v 9.18.10.3220) wont install because the PnPID is not listed in the XML file. (my PnPID is VEN_8086&DEV_041E&SUBSYS_309C17AA (309D17AA is listed tho)). Manualy editing the XML files to include my PnPID solves the problem.
Lenovo should really have better qualitycontrol here.
3. On a t440s machine i have the Synaptics UltraNav Driver (v. 17.0.12.60) wont install automatically with Thin Installer.
This is because the machine i installed failed the "BIOS test" in the XML file of the update package. I manually edited the XML file and replaced the "BIOS TEST" with one from another update that worked on that system and now everything installs automatically and works fine.
Its possible that Lenovo has detected some kind of problem with my BIOS version and the Synaptics driver but everything seems to work fine for me.
I hope this post will help someone in the future
EDIT: Other people have called out some problems with the information provied in this post. You should read the whole thread before making any changes to your systems.
Kind Regards,
2bi

2bi,
Thanks for posting your findings. I will investigate and escalate the missing PnP id issue for the Display Driver issue. We absolutely need to avoid these kinds of escapes.
For you ThinInstaller command line I would recommend not using the -showprogress parameter if you are using in a scripted deployment scenario with something like MDT and/or SCCM. These solutions typically will not allow TI to interact with the desktop during deployment which is what -showprogress will cause.
Also, you are telling TI to include packages that will automatically reboot your system (type 1), requires a reboot which can be delayed (type 3), will shutdown the machine automatically (type 4). We have very few type 4 packages anymore; however we definitely have type 1 and type 3. As sclexman mentioned, the -noreboot will only apply to the type 3 packages which leave the execution of the reboot up to TI. So -noreboot tells TI that even if it installs updates of type 3, it should not reboot when finished.
Changing the Reboot Type value in Update Retriever only changes how TI sees the package and does not alter how the package itself executes. So if a package is designed to always automatically reboot, changing it to type 3 in UR will have no affect. We have recently had a display driver released by Intel that will automatically reboot if the driver installer detects that it is upgrading an older version of the driver. In a clean deployment scenario, the automatic reboot will not happen so in this case it is safe to change the type to type 3.
This leads to another point. All of our content that is available through Update Retriever is also intended for consumption by System Update which is the utility aimed at individual consumers to help them keep their drivers up to date. Therefore this becomes our lowest common denominator that we have to support. This leads to situations that may not be ideal for the deployment scenario. If we had an army of resources we might be able to manage all of our content for both consumers and enterprise deployments; in effect doubling our efforts. Unfortunately this is not the case and we are trying to do the best we can.
Regarding the UltraNav update for T440s, I see that the XML has a _BIOS section under the Dependencies. However it is defined such that any BIOS level will work because the first level listed is a wildcard asterisk (*). This BIOS section is actually included for a completely different solution which also uses the XML. It is not intended to control the targeting of the update for System Update or Thin Installer. Perhaps there was a mistake made initially and the XML was released without the * and has since been fixed.
(from the current UltraNav driver package: )
<_Bios>
<Level>*</Level>
<Level>GGET*</Level>
<Level>GFET*</Level>
<Level>GHET*</Level>
<Level>GIET*</Level>
<Level>GJET*</Level>

Trusted.certs question with regards to Installation and Upgrading Java

Greetings,
Thank you to all who take the time to read this especially those who can provide some answers!
Question #1:
I read that trusted.certs was not backwards compatible for Java. By this I mean that a "Java Runtime 6 Update 11" generated trusted.certs could not be read / used by "Java Runtime 6 Update 26". Is this correct?
Question #2:
Part A: Does a fresh install of Java create the trusted.certs file upon installation or at the time Java is first run after install?
Part B: When the trusted.certs is created does it do a file check to see if trusted.certs file already exists? If so does it delete and generate a fresh trusted.certs or does it leave the existing file?
Reason I ask this is that we are getting a java.io.FileNotfoundException for the trusted.certs file. This I believe to be caused by a failed upgrade of Java. When uninstalling "Java Runtime 6 Update 26" it displays "Java Runtime 6 Update 11". This leads me to believe that the trusted.certs is still for Update 11 and not Update 26 which would cause this error even after a fresh install of Java.
I would love your input and knowledge! Thank you again for your time!

I am not aware of any trusted.certs file being distributed with Java. Are you referring to the cacerts file?

Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
function in the software, I don't get it.
When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
to work with, without being connected to them.
I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
the license fpr LR5 via internet.
Best regards

Exadata Database installation and administration documents please

I want to learn more about Exadata. Please anybody share the exadata database installation steps and administration documents.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks in advance

Hi
you can find all the documentation for Exadata on the OTN site : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/exadata/index.html
However sorry to disappoint you as of now Oracle does not allow any installation or configuration to be done by yourself on the Exadata box hence there is no document with regard to installing and configuring the Exadata. But creating or adding new instances you can do with the DBCA wizard.

BO XI 3.1 installation and Upgrade activity Steps

Hi Experts,
Right now we are using BO XI R2 Version, Planning to uninstall XI R2 and do a fresh installation of BO XI 3.1 with SP3.
Do I need to install the Java latest version for XI 3.1? Right now we have the following setting,
         j2re1.4.2_04
         j2re1.4.2_16
         jre1.5.0_14
Since the up gradation of Reports, user, groups, universe events etc are from XI R2 version to XI 3.1.So Is it enough to
install BO XI 3.1 with SP 3, or do I have to go for FixPack inorder to avoid problem after this upgrade activity.
Could you please tell me about the BOXI R2 to XI 3.1 installation and Upgrade activity Steps.
Regards,
Sridharan

Hi,
you dont need a special JRE version on the Server. With the installation of BO a own JRE will be installed for BOE. Only for developing WebI reports the developer need a 1.6.x JRE later on.
There is already FixPack 3.1 out but installing "only" SP3 should be sufficient.
I would recommend you check the upgrade guide from Rel.2 to XI 3.1:
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646952008E/xi3-1_bip_upgrade_en.pdf
You need a S-User to Login.

Error while building application installer and exe

i had tried to build an installer and exe for my appication which application and exe building is successfull. but when we install it over the system it does not read analog input and digital inputs and showing NaN in the indicator,I have treid many a ways and this works after disabling the counter reading section which is used to read the pulses from the quadrature encoder. when i again include that particular section it shows the same error. also this entire code works beautifully without any error from our source code, what might be the possible cause , please help me,

Hi Kodee,
1) Are using error handling in your code? Are you getting any errors?
2) What version of LabVIEW are you using? If you are using 8.0 or newer, then you can build a debuggable executable:

PI (XI 7.0) Installation and Post Installation Guides

We have installed XI 3.0 with previous clients, and we are trying to install XI 7.0 (PI) for a client on Windows 2003 SQL server. We looked for installation documents in the service.sap.com, but we were confused about which documents to follow.
Has anyone installed PI (XI 7.0) from scratch? If yes, could you provide us documents regarding installation and post installation steps. What are the differences in installing XI 3.0 and PI?
You help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hey Karma,
You dont need any guide for PI post installation.
There is a facility in NW 2004s for completing post installation, they provide with templates. you just have to execute the templates and your PI post config is done.
first execute
NWD
and then
PI templates
After this import the BASIS components into design environment.

InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide

Hi everybody
I try to ask one silly Q.
Where can I get this document.
I found many references but no link :(

There is no document titled "InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide". This was an error in the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server.
You'll find the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server in the InDesign Server CS2 ESD (the server download bundle). Even better you'll find the CS3 version in the InDesign CS3 Server SDK. Available at the following URL:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/
The information about Java/CORBA is specific to CS3, but the information about scripting and SOAP applies to CS2.
Let me know if that helps, or you still need something else.
