Sapinst SAPINST_ERRORSTEP=true

Question

Hi gurus,
In the installation process of EP 7.0 we want to skip a step. We try modifying file "keydb.xml" (changing "ERROR" by "OK") but SAPinst don't skip step.
Also we try execute "./sapinst SAPINST_ERRORSTEP=true" but I don't understand because SAPinst begins to execute from the first step. Is it usual?
Are there other ways to skip steps in sapinst?
thanks
