When I checked, there is no directory 'C:\sapdb\programs\' created at all.
The XMOD.log file says
Execute Command : c:\sapdb\indep_prog/pgm/dbmcli.exe -d <SID> dbm_version INSTROOT
Execute Session Command : exit
Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database <SID>: dbmsrv not found
What does this mean and what do I have to do to correct it ?

Answer 1

Hello Venkatesh,
could you please tell me which exact SAP DB version you want to install? That's important in this case, because within version 7.3 there's a switch (from a certain Build level) of the SAP DB Installer (used by the sdbinst program).
Additionally, please send me installation protocol of sdbinst, located in the directory C:\sapdb\data\wrk. The name of the file will look something like this:
SAPDB<Installationtype>-<Date>-Time.log
Kind regards,
Roland
