This is my first entry in JuniorSAP, I hope we are going to have & share useful information about SAP while trying to put new things on my blog. I'm a SAP Basis Administrator with 18 months experience. I want to develop this blog to save my own information and to share with other junior friends. Sometimes I want to search things about SAP on web , but generally the sources are hard to understand. I'm going to try to write on based level with an easy terminology.
Today , We are going to have a practical look on how to install a SAP PI system on Windows Server 2003 with MS SQL 2005.
First of all , be sure that there is no portal system has been installed on the server before. If had , format the driver which the portal was installed in. Second step is to have all necessary sources. You should have SAP and Jave sources before starting the installation.
Necessary files :
- EXPORT file of the SAPCD
- JAVA_COMP
- JAVA_STACK_15
- KERNEL_SR3
- MASTER_SR3
- MS SQL 2005 CD
- J2SDK Setup.exe (latest version will be good and it should be downloaded related with the properties of your system. I have downloaded Windows version for AMD64)
- JCE Policy files
Now it is time to define swap size.Enter system properties again > Advanced > Settings (Performance) >Advanced > Change (Virtual Memory) > Set Custom Size : Initial Size : 25000 mb Maximum Size : 25000 mb.
We are now able to install database server. Before installing the MS SQL 2005 , you have to be sure about all system drivers are installed correctly , all devices are working properly and the computer which you are going to install PI has an IP address . :)
Go to your MS SQL 2005 CD or the exported file and run the script "SQL4SAP.vbs". This will take approximately 10 minutes. You will have a coffee.
When the installation is over you should have to restart your system.
All right friends , we are now starting to install SAP system. My suggestion is first define a file and name it like NAMEDATA (you can enter whatever you want as name but defining all with uppercase letters will be good). Go to your SAP CD or exported file and enter in MASTER_SR3. Enter the file related to your system (mine was IM_WINDOWS_x86_64). Run sapinst.exe . SAP Installation is now beginning.
this is your first installation on this server ; installation will be automatically ask you to log off and log in to server again.When you done re-log in installation will be automatically continue.
Choose SAP Netweaver 7.0 Support Release 3 > Sap Systems > MS SQL Server > Central System > Central System.
We are going to install new SAP System so we need to choose Run a new option.
Installation will ask you to show MASTER file. Show the path.
Now you are going to select components. Select PI , AS JAVA and AS ABAP.
It is time to show JAVA_COMP file's path. After this operation installation will ask for JCE Policy. Show the path of your policy file.
Now define a system ID like "XID". 3 characters. Also define a password.
You are going to export installation files. Click on browse and show EXPORT file under SAP CD.
On next step system will ask you to show path of KERNEL. You need to select KU winx86_64 For Unicode.
After configuring local SLD , System will ask you the name of the server which you are installing SAP on. Enter the name of the computer (mine was sapnw).
Installation will show you the revise session now. You can edit you selection on this place. To make our future operations easier I recommend yo to revise DB files. Show the paths manually. Remember, at the beginning I recommend you to open a new file named as "NAMEDATA" mine file named as XIDDATA. Show this file , enter the names manually and ask system to put DB files under that file.
Finally, System will ask you to enter Solution Manager Key. If you enter the key successfully you are now able to start execute services session. In this part , it is normal to face with some errors. You can check SAP Notes to find solutions about the error. I ' m going to tell about the errors which I faced during execute services later.
