About this Installation Guide

SAP System Installation

SAP system installations should only be performed by SAP Technical Consultants certified for your operating system, your database, and the SAP system that you are installingSAP Installation Tool

You must only use the SAP installation tools according to the instructions and for the purposes described in the SAP installation document. Improper use of the SAP installation tools can damage files and systems already installed.Downward Compatibility of Databases

For downward-compatible releases of DB/OS platforms for SAP products, SAP plans to regularly release the newest database (DB) and operating-system (OS) versions of SAP products. These releases are downward-compatible with earlier SAP system releases. Note that for already shipped SAP components, we only support the installation for database versions proposed by the installation tool. Therefore, you must install an SAP component or perform a system copy using a downward-compatible database. That is, you either install the component with the old proposed database version or you upgrade the old database version to the downward-compatible new version.

Introduction SAP Notes for the Installation Description

Software Provisioning Manager Software provisioning manager is the successor of the product- and release-specific delivery of provisioning tools, such as SAPinst. Before you perform an installation or system copy, we recommend that you always download the latest version of the software provisioning manager [page 53] which is part of the Software Logistics Toolset (SL Toolset for short). This way, you automatically get the latest SAPinst version including latest fixes in the tool and supported processes. For more information about software provisioning manager as well as products and releases supported by it, see SAP Note 1680045. As a result, SAPinst has been renamed to software provisioning manager (installer for short) in this documentation. However, the term SAPinst is still used in: Texts and screen elements in the software provisioning manager GUI Naming of executables, for example sapinst. Naming of Command line parameters, for exampleSAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME

Operating system user groups, for example additional groupsapinst

Support of Oracle Linux

You no longer require a Solution Manager Key for the installation. The SAP Cryptographic Library SAPCRYPTO.SAR is now available in the DBINDEP subfolder of the UC Kernel (folder K__U_) medium and installed automatically by software provisioning manager. You do not have to separately download SAPCRYPTO.SAR any longer. For more information, see Basic SAP System Installation Parameters [page 25]. Process Integration and Orchestration is available as an optional standalone unit installation. Oracle Linux is supported for SAP system installation. For more information, see SAP Note 1565179.

1.3 SAP Notes for the InstallationYou must read the following SAP Notes before you start the installation. These SAP Notes contain the most recent information on the installation, as well as corrections to the installation documentation. Make sure that you have the up-to-date version of each SAP Note, which you can find at http:// service.sap.com/notes.SAP Notes for the Installation SAP Note Number Title Description
