SAPINST GUI installation

Hello.
We are testing the migration to Unicode of our ECC5.0 system. We are using standard procedure with the SAPINST tool.
We are trying to find out what is the most secure way to launch SAPINST and minimize the possibility of GUI hang. Actually we are launching SAPINST from a dedicated PC with Reflection X installed.
Anyone knows what happens if we have an accidental session disconnection or GUI hangs for any reason. Is it possible to reconnect to a graphical session or do we have to cancel and relaunch?
We don't want to startover again!!
We are wondering about the safer option.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards.

Hi,
I think you are planning to use the Remote GUI option, you can use this, it is safe to use, even if you lost the connection you can reconnect it.
Hope this will help you, do revert if you need any further details.
Best Regards,
Sachin.

The SAPinst GUI could not be started because a Java Runtime Environment

Hi all,
I AM TRYING TO INSTALL THE ECC 6.0 ON HPUX AND WHILE STARTING SAPINST GETTING THIS ERROR:
The SAPinst GUI could not be started because a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) could not be found.
Either the JRE is not installed correctly or the environment variable SAPINST_JRE_HOME is not set to the JRE installation home.
Be aware the SAPinst server is still running! You need to start SAPinst GUI standalone on this or another host as described in the installation guide.

Can you do a
java -version
as root?
Did you install the Java runtime from http://www.hp.com/go/java for your platform?

A SAPinst GUI question - can't connect to port 21212

Hello,
I'm trying to install a BW 3.0B system 'BSB' using Linux/Oracle on 32-bit Intel hardware. The Linux is Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9). The Oracle is 9.2.
I was able to see the 1st SAP Installation GUI screen. The two fields on the screen appeared as follows:
Installation Host: localhost
Port: 21212
But when I clicked the 'OK' button, nothing happened. The screen and the two fields remained the same. The messages from the UNIX install session, on two attempts using root id, are attached. There is nothing in the sapinst.log file in the install directory /INSTBW30B/CI. My Linux Administrator thought the SAPinst listener is not working.
The SAPinst I used is version 1.0, from a SAP BW 3.0B Installation CD, published in 2002.
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards,
Jack Wu

Hello Daniel,
Thanks for the quick reply. The following are the whole story:
1. When I started, I followed the SAP "BW 3.0B Installation Guide on UNIX/Oracle" and SAP note 580772. After getting the error message "Floating point exception", I added the missing environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 according SAP note 797084.
2. Then I tried again:
lsapd002:/INSTBW30B/CI # /sapcd/KERBW30B/SAPINST/UNIX/LINUX_32/INSTALL
This time I got different error messages:
ERROR 2005-10-18 10:50:23 [syuxcnodut.cpp:589]
 CSyNodeUtils::isExistingWithType(iastring, bool, ISyNode::eNodeType)
FSL-02013 Unable to access file /INSTBW30B/CI/keydb.1.xml: Success.
ERROR 2005-10-18 10:50:24 [iaxxcsihlp.hpp:344]
 main()
FCO-00034 An error occurred during the installation. Problem: caught an unexpected exception.
The error message FSL-02013 is confusing. Was it successful or not? It appears not. There is a keydb.xml in the installation directory /INSTBW30B/CI. But for unknown reason, sapinst couldn't copy it to create keydb.1.xml. Also, I'm not sure whether FSL-02013 caused FCO-00034, or the two messages are not related?
3. I looked into the "SAPinst Troubleshooting Guide v 1.20 5/27/2002", found a symptom on p.11, followed the solution part 1:
lsapd002:/INSTBW30B/CI # ./sapinst SAPINST_NO_GUISTART=true
I got the same error messages as in Step 2.
4. I tried to fool the installer by doing manually:
lsapd002:/INSTBW30B/CI # cp -p keydb.xml keydb.1.xml
5. Then tried the installation again
lsapd002:/INSTBW30B/CI # ./sapinst
I got similar, but not identical error messages
ERROR 2005-10-18 16:38:18 [syuxcnodut.cpp:589]
 CSyNodeUtils::isExistingWithType(iastring, bool, ISyNode::eNodeType)
FSL-02013 Unable to access file /INSTBW30B/CI/keydb.2.xml: Success.
ERROR 2005-10-18 16:38:18 [iaxxcsihlp.hpp:344]
 main()
FCO-00034 An error occurred during the installation. Problem: caught an unexpected exception.
Please notice that the FSL-02013 complains about keydb.2.xml this time.
6. Then I gave up on solution part 1 in the "SAPinst Troubleshooting Guide" and continued with solution part 2, which is to run the shell script startinstgui.sh. After having difficulty with port 21212, I posted the question in the SDN Forum on 10/19/2005.
According to your reply, startinstgui.sh is just running the GUI which isn't really the installation. So I still need to resolve the errors with sapinst, i.e. FSL-02013 and FCO-00034. Any suggestion?

SAP JVM switch SAPINST GUI not launching

Hi All,
I have performed SAP JVM switch in all portal servers. One of the server is giving issue. I is not launching sapinst GUI screen. There was 2 JDK versions installed j2sdk1.4.2_13 and j2sdk1.4.2_29. I keep tried changing j2sdk1.4.2_29 in some properties file besides java home is pointing to j2sdk1.4.2_29. I also changed SAPINST_JRE_HOME property in environment variables with j2sdk1.4.2_29 to be in sync. Now below log is showing j2sdk1.4.2_29 but it is still not launching sapinst gui. Please help.

Thanks,

very true Reagan.
Kavitha, you just need to make sure that the instance profile has the right details.
 SAPJVM_VERSION. Enter the new version of the SAP JVM e.g.:
 SAPJVM_VERSION = 4.1.028
 and
 jstartup/vm/home = <location of the new jdk>
 for example:
 jstartup/vm/home = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/jvm/hpia64/
 sapjvm_6.1.028
After the change, delete following files (they will be recreated after the j2ee restart):
/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/instance.properties.vmprop
/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/SDM/program/config/sdm_jstartup.properties.vmprop
Now do a complete cluster restart.

Sorry for the dumb question - but can you confirm that you installed usingthe

passwords are also placed in SerializedSystemIni.dat (when you
install), this file needs to be moved from to all the config
subdirectories if its changed.

Error The SAPinst GUI

Hi,
I downloaded the trail version of SAPNW2004s trying to run the SAPinst.exe file
i am getting the fallowing error.
The SAPinst GUI could not be started because a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) could not be found.
any body please give me some solution to this prob. thanks in advance.
Thanks
kiran.B

You should install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) first. You can download from http://java.sun.com.
After installing JRE, you have to set JAVA_HOME=C:\directory\where\java\is\installed.
You can do it by right click on My Computer - Properties. Choose Advanced Tab - Environment Vaiables.
On System variables, click New
After that fill Variable Name with JAVA_HOME and fill Variable value =C:\directory\where\java\is\installed
And then you can start SAPinst GUI again. Hope that can help you.

Portal Server 7.2 gui installer

Wls61sp4_upgrade_win.exe -mode=console invokes GUI installer

Hello,

When I use:
wls61sp4_upgrade_win.exe -mode=console
it invokes GUI installer.
How to fix it?
Oleg.

Hello Wayne,
I followed all instructions.
Log file option does not work with silent mode.
If I specify log file option, it invokes GUI installer:
wls61sp4_upgrade_win.exe -f C:\software\installer.properties -log=C:\software\installer.log
If I do not specify log file Install Anywhere gives brief message "Installation
completed" but do nothing.
I do remote installation using NetOP and need to see problem.
Locally it works fine.
We have WebLogic 6.1 licences.
Thank you.

If the installer did anything, it should have created a log file. I believe

I have to
check some recent installations I did. If this were an "official" support

I would check before answering! ;-)

SAPINST gui timeout in ECC 6.0 installation in AIX

Hello.
We are starting an installation of ERP2005 SR2 with AIX 5.3.
When we start for the first time sapinst, I don't get the welcome screen, although DISPLAY variable is correct. It does not work neither if I try a remote installation.
# ./sapinst

guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host rhdesa, port 21200 to continue with the installation
Then, nothing happens until a timeout message appears.
java -version is 1.4.2 SR7, according to install guide; AIX version is 5.3, I think all other prerrequisites (C++ version...) are fullfilled.
Any idea?
Regards

Dear,
Please check java version (pre requisite) it should be 1.4.2 (64 Bits), if not then download correct verion and update through smitty and uninstall sap (not db2) thru sapinst and increase the space of /tmp by command
#chfs -a size=+4G /tmp
also remove logs from /tmp i.e. sapinst* and also remove db2<sid> dir from /db2 and change permission of /db2 750 .
also check export like LIBPATH, SAPINST, JAVA_HOME etc
now go to master DVD (either on copied) and give command where sapinst is there
#./sapinst SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true
every thing should go fine.
thanks

Hi Kk,
I think you did not set display variable. Use this command & try again:-
export DISPLAY = <IP Address of presentation server>:0.0
And run ./sapinst

Oracle Linux 6.4 Do Not Boot After GUI Installation

Hi Guys,
I installed Oracle Linux 6.4 in my Virtual Box Machine with Minimal Option.
There was only command page withouth any GUI.
and then i have installed 'X Window System' and 'General Purpose Desktop'
by writing
yum groupinstall -y 'X Window System'
yum groupinstall -y 'General Purpose Desktop'
I changed /etc/inittab run level from 3 to 5
when i test it with by writing
init 5 and startx command. It worked and i could see GUI Desktop
BUT
when i shutdown system and re-open system. Page remains as shown below. Any help will be making me so happy.
Thank you from now.

Dude!
solved the problem. I have issued your suggestion and i have received error with yum installation as shown below,
But then i have updated operating system with
#yum update
i reboot the system with
#reboot
and then i go into /etc/inittab file
#vi /etc/inittab
at the very end of file. I have changed runlevel 3 to 5 as you said.
and i test it with
#init 5
It worked !
Thanks Dude!

Switced from Full GUI installation to minimal server interface or server core and stucked on black screen with no option

hi.
i have a virtual machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center Edition, using Hyper-V technology, as a lab machine to test and practice core features.
I tried to test the ability of switching to Core (and even the Minimal Server Interface after stuck and revert!)
using Powershell commands as bellow:
Import-Module ServerManager
Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell -Restart
and it goes well until windows configured removal features and reboots. but
after that the VM will stuck in a black screen.
Tried to reach RUN TASK window to bring up CMD.EXE or any thing but even the ALT+CTRL+DEL (ALT+CTRL+END in VM) is not working and technically i cant do anything. considering CPU USAGE in hyper-V Manager is changing for the VM, i let the VM
work but after 2 hours i just got enough!
any idea why is this happening?
Thanks for helping and spending time on this.

Adding string to gui installation

Hi,
I have installed a gui 710 server
i want to enter a string for the snc field at the end of the installation
Can anyone assist me with this?
Regards,
Moshe

The SNC Name contained within the system entry can be set in the saplogon.ini file. Is that the area you're talking about?

SAP GUI installation issue.

Hi All,
I am trying to install SAP GUI640v16 on my machine (Windows XP).
In the middle of the installation, I'am getting an
error like:
Your computer needs to be restarted due to pending system changes. It is not safe to continue without a reboot.
How do i resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

I have only seen this at the beginning of the installation. You can check the following Registry Key to determine if a restart is required:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile
Value in RegEdit Meaning
0x00000000 (0) No pending restart.
0x00000001 (1) A software update removal is pending a restart.
0x00000002 (2) A software update installation is pending a restart.
'// 0x00000003 (3) Both an installation and a removal are pending a restart.
As Rich mentioned, cancelling the install, Restarting and re-running the installation should fix the problem.
Cheers,
John

SAP GUI 730 PL8 Installation Problems

Hi all!
We are facing a problem with the following software product:
Information NwSapSetupAdmin.exe:
SAP GUI for Windows 7.30 (Compilation 3)

Within the SAP GUI Installation (NwSapSetup.log) the following error occurs:

With this the NwSapSetup.log ends with:
16:26:23 NwSapSetup 1 Return-Code: 145
In the next logical step within our environment a uninstallation of the SAP GUI gets started:
 Commandline:
'"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SapSetup\Setup\NWSapSetup.exe" /Silent /Uninstall /Package=PEACY'
This operation gets done with:
12:35:47 NwSapSetup 1 Return-Code: 0
After that the installation of the SAP GUI gets started again with:
 Commandline: '"C:\peacy.sys\source\SAPGUI730PL8\source\setup\NwSapSetup.exe" /noDLG /norestart /Package=PEACY'
Now the Installation gets done with:
12:52:12 NwSapSetup 1 Return-Code: 0
Every first installation of SAP GUI 7.30 PL8 is affected. This is a cross-platform issue (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1). If there was our older package version (SAP GUI 7.30 PL4) installed, the installation of SAP GUI 7.30 PL8 gets done without problems.
Every new client with the SAP GUI 7.30 PL8 assigned or the re-installation of it, and every first installation of the package on a client without SAP GUI leads to the mentioned issue - package gets installed with the mentioned error, afterwards the uninstallation gets started by our environment and finally the installation gets done with the second try. This is not a practicable method for our support staff.
Are there any hints how to resolve this issue. (A upgrade to the newest patch level of SAP GUI is not a practicable solution)
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
For older releases of the SAP GUI client a good approach is to create package for uninstalling old SAP GUI. Depending on the state of the old SAP GUI's you're upgrading those may not be "clean" enough to warrant upgrading in place.
The older GUI's have component's no longer provided with the newer releases so most recommendations are to uninstall completely an do a fresh installation.
I credit Matt Fraser for this information and suggest reading his documentation. The last 4 articles are germane to you're situation. I hope this helps you.
