About this Installation Guide

SAP System Installation

SAP system installations should only beperformed by SAP Technical Consultantscertified for your operating system, yourdatabase, and the SAP system that you areinstalling

SAP Installation Tool

You must only use the SAP installation toolsaccording to the instructions and for the purposesdescribed in the SAP installation document.Improper use of the SAP installation tools candamage files and systems already installed.

Downward Compatibility of Databases

For downward-compatible releases of DB/OSplatforms for SAP products, SAP plans toregularly release the newest database (DB) andoperating-system (OS) versions of SAP products.These releases are downward-compatible withearlier SAP system releases.Note that for already shipped SAP components,we only support the installation for databaseversions proposed by the installation tool.

Therefore, you must install an SAP componentor perform a system copy using a downward-compatible database. That is, you either install thecomponent with the old proposed databaseversion or you upgrade the old database versionto the downward-compatible new version.

2.4 SAP System Transport Host

The transport host contains the transport d irectory used by the SAP transport system to store transport

data and change SAP system information, such as software programs, data dictionary data, orcustomization data. If you have several SAP systems, they are usually organized in transport domains.In most cases, all SAP systems in a transport domain have a common transport directory.When you install an SAP system, you have to decide which transport host and directory you want touse for your SAP system:

■ Use the transport directory that SAPinst creates during the installation of the SAP system by defaulton the global host:SAPinst by default creates the transport directory on the global host in/usr/sap/trans .

■ Use a transport directory located on a host other than the default host:● You can use an existing transport directory and host in your SAP system landscape.

2.5 Planning User and Access Management

You have to plan how you want to configure user and access management for your SAP system to beinstalled.Before you add a newly installed SAP system to your system landscape, you must decide which kindof user management you want to use:

■ Use Central User Administration (CUA).■ Use an LDAP directory as the data source for user data.

Procedure

Using Central User Management

1. You install your SAP system as described in this installation guide.2. Add the system to Central User Administration (CUA). For more information, seeConfiguring User

Management [page88].

Using an LDAP directory as the Data Source for User Data

1. You install your SAP system as described in this installation guide.2. Configure the user management of the newly installed SAP system to use and LDAP directory.

SAPinst prompts for input parameters during the Define Parametersphase of the installation.The tables below list the basic system parameters that you need to specify before installing your SAPsystem. For all other SAP system parameters, use theF1 help in the SAPinst screens.You can install your SAP system either inTypicalor Custommode:

■ TypicalIf you chooseTypical, the installation is performed with default settings. This means that you onlyhave to respond to a small selection of prompts including at least the following, which are describedin the corresponding tables below:

● SAP system ID and database ID● SAP system profile directory – only for systems with instances on separate hosts● Master password● SAP Solution Manager Key

If you want to change any of the default settings, you can do so on theParameter Summaryscreen.■ Custom

If you chooseCustom, you are prompted for all parameters. At the end, you can still change any of these parameters on the Parameter Summaryscreen.

NOTE

You cannot change from Customto Typicalmode or from Typicalto Custommode on the Parameter

Summaryscreen.

The tables below list the basic system parameters that you need to determine before installing yourSAP system. For all other SAP system parameters, use the F1 help in the SAPinst dialogs.

Unicode or Non-Unicode System

Parameters Description

Unicode System Everynew installation of an SAP system is Unicode.You can only deselect this option if you perform the system copy for a non-Unicode SAP system that has been upgraded to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 includingEnhancement Package 1.

SAP System Instances, Hosts, and Ports

Parameters Description

Instance Number of theSAP system

Technical identifier for internal processes. It consists of a two-digit number from 00to 98.The instance number must be unique on a host. That is, if more than one SAP instanceis running on the same host, these instances must be assigned different numbers.To find out this number, look under the SAP directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/

DVEBMGS<nn>on the host of the central instance.The value <nn> is the number assigned to the central instance.

Name of Instance Host Instance Host:Host name of the specific instance.To find out the host name, open a command prompt and enter hostname .The host name must not exceed 12 characters. For more information about theallowed host name length and characters, seeSAP Note 611361.

Virtual Host Name You can use one or more virtual TCP/IP host names for SAP servers within an SAPserver landscape to conceal their physical network identities from each other. Thismay be useful when moving SAP servers or complete server landscapes to other newhardware within a short time frame without having to carry out a reinstallation or

complicated reconfiguration. You need to specify the virtual host name before youstart SAPinst.For more information, seePrerequisitesin Running SAPinst [page73].You also need to specify the virtual host name before you start SAPinst if you wantto install ahigh-availability (HA) system . For more information, seePerforming aHigh-Availability Installation[page73].

■ For more information about the use of virtual TCP/IP host names, seeSAPNote 962955.

■ For more information about the allowed host name length and characters, seeSAP Note 611361.

Message Server Port C AUTION

The message server port number must be unique for the SAP system on allhosts. If there are several message port numbers on one host, all must be unique.

Port number of the SAP Message Server:If you do not specify a value, the default port number is used.ABAP Message Server PortThere is an external message server port and an internal message server port.The ABAP message server uses both the internal and the external message serverports. The default profile contains the configuration for both message server ports.The external message server port uses the parameterrdisp/msserv with defaultvalue 36<nn>, where <nn> is the instance number of the ABAP message serverinstance.

Solution Manager Key

Parameters Description

SAP Solution Manager key To install your SAP system, you need to generate an SAP Solution Manager key[page61], which the installation requires to continue. For more information, seeSAPNote 805390.

Parameters Relevant for the File System

Parameters Description

File system for the homedirectory user

/home/<username>

SAP system mount directory /<sapmnt> is the base directory for the SAP system.For /<sapmnt> you can use a directory of your choice.Do not add <SAPSID> as subdirectory because the system adds this directoryautomatically.

EXAM P LE

If you enter /<sapmnt> , the system creates the directory/<sapmnt>/

<SAPSID> .Oracle database file systems ■ Oracle home

■ sapdata home■ Client destination■ sapdata directory

Parameters Relevant for the Database

Parameters Description

Code page The code page that is used by your database (Unicode or Non-Unicode).

NOTE

You only need to enter this parameter if you perform a target systeminstallation as part of a system copy.

Database schema, Passwords The ABAP database schema is namedSAP<SCHEMA_ID>.Default name isSAPSR3.

RECOMMENDATION

Choose a <SCHEMAID>that is different from your <SAPSID> .It might cause problems when you copy a system where<SCHEMAID>is thesame as<SAPSID> , and the database-specific method used for the copy doesnot allow you to rename the database schemas. In certain situations, youmight create a system copy with a new<SAPSID> , but where the databaseschema has the old <SAPSID> . This is not a technical problem, but mightconfuse the system administrator.

Password of Userora<dbsid> User ora<dbsid> is the database administrator user.This user is only required on the host on which the database instance runs.

■ If you created userora<dbsid> manually before the installation, SAPinstprompts you for the existing password of this user.

Parameters DescriptionNOTE

If you chose parameter modeTypical, SAPinst only prompts you forthe existing password of this user if the password is not the same asthe Master Password.

■ If you did not create userora<dbsid> manually before the installation,SAPinst creates it automatically during the installation. SAPinst thenprompts you to enter and confirm a password for this user. In this case,SAPinst sets the Master Password by default. You can overwrite it.

NOTE

If you chose parameter modeTypical, SAPinst does not prompt youfor the existing password of this user but creates this user and assignsthe Master Password automatically.

Make sure that the user ID and group ID of this operating system user are uniqueand the same on each application instance host.For more information, seeCreating Operating System Users[page47].

User ID of Userora<dbsid> If you chose parameter modeTypicaland you did not create ora<dbsid> manuallybefore the installation, SAPinst automatically creates this user with theappropriate user ID. In this case, SAPinst does not prompt you for the user ID of ora<dbsid> .Make sure that the user ID of userora<dbsid> is unique and the same on eachapplication instance host.For more information, seeCreating Operating System Users[page47].

Group IDs of sys , dba , andoper

If you chose parameter modeTypicaland you did not create ora<dbsid> manuallybefore the installation, SAPinst automatically creates this user. SAPinst alsoassigns the user to groupssys ,dba , andoper . In this case, SAPinst does not promptyou for the user ID of ora<dbsid> .Make sure that the group IDs of dba and oper are unique and the same on eachapplication instance host.For more information, seeCreating Operating System Users[page47].

Database User Oracle UserSystem

Oracle Listener Name, OracleListener Port

■ If you install the database instance on a host where no other Oracle databaseis installed, you normally do not have to change the default values forListener Name and Listener Port.

■ If there is already an Oracle database installed on your installation host, youcan either use one listener for both databases or you have to specify an

unused Listener Name and an unused Listener Port for the new listener. Formore information if you use one listener for both databases, seeSAPNote 98252.

■ All dialog instances of an SAP system must use the same Listener Port thanthe database instance.

Tablespaces, Datafiles An Oracle database consists of one or more logical storage units calledtablespaces , which collectively store all of the database's data.Each tablespace in an Oracle database consists of one or more files calleddatafiles , which are physical structures that conform to the operating systemin which Oracle is running.MaxDatafileSize is the initial size of thetablespace datafile and its mapping tothe new tablespace layout while importing the external file DBSIZE.XML.SAPinst prompts you to enter MaxDatafileSize in MB:

3 Preparation

3.1 Preparation Checklist

You have to complete the following preparations, which are described in more detail in the linkedsections:1. You make sure that the required operating system users and groups[page47] are created.2. Youset up file systems or – if required – raw devices[page49] and make sure that the required disk space

is available for the directories to be created during the installation.3. If required, youset up virtual host names[page59].4. If you want to install a high-availability system, you perform switchover preparations[page60].5. If you want to share the transport directory trans from another system, export [page60] this

directory to your installation hosts.6. Youinstall the SAP frontend software[page61] on the desktop of the end user.7. You generate the SAP Solution Manager Key[page61] for your SAP system.8. Youinstall the Java Runtime Environment [page62].9. You make sure that the required installation media[page62] are available on each host.

10. Dialog instance only: If you upgraded your SAP System from an earlier source release to a targetrelease lower than SAP ERP 6.0 SR3, then installed EHP 4 with the EHP Installer, and now want toinstall a dialog instance, you have toupdate instance profiles of the existing system[page112].

11. You can continue with Installation[page67].

3.2 Creating Operating System Users and Groups

During the installation, SAPinst checks all required accounts (users, groups) and services on the localmachine. SAPinst checks whether the required users and groups already exist. If not, it creates newusers and groups as necessary.If you do not want SAPinst to create operating systems users, groups, and services automatically, youcan optionally create them before the installation. This might be the caseif you use central usermanagement such as Network Information System (NIS).SAPinst checks if the required services are available on the host and creates them if necessary. See thelog messages about the service entries and adapt the network-wide (NIS) entries accordingly.SAPinst checks the NIS users, groups, and services using NIS commands. However, SAPinst doesnot

change NIS configurations.

RECOMMENDATION

For a distributed or a high-availability system, we recommend that you distribute accountinformation (operating system users and groups) over the network, for example by using NetworkInformation Service (NIS).

End of: HA (UNIX) |

If you want to use global accounts that are configured on a separate host, you can do this in one of thefollowing ways:

■ You start SAPinst and choose Software Life-Cycle Options Additional Preparations Operating System Usersand Groups. For more information, seeRunning SAPinst [page73].

You create operating system users and groups manually.If you need information about how to do this, seeCreating Solaris Groups and Users[page109]

Operating System Users and Groups

SAPinst chooses available operating system user IDs and group IDs unless you are installing an additionalapplication server instance. On an additional application server instance you have to enter the sameIDs as on the host of the primary application server instance.

C AUTION

All usersmust have identical environment settings. If you change the environment deliveredby SAP, such as variables, paths, and so on, we donot assume responsibility.■ Donot delete any shell initialization scripts in the home directory of the OS users. This applies

even if you do not intend to use the shells that these scripts are for.■ If you use NFS-V4 file system, you have to create theora<dbsid> user on the NFS server. You

can do this either manually or by running Operating System Users and Groups. This user must havethe same user ID as theora<dbsid> user on the database server.Otherwise, you see the error messageFSL-02098 Could not change owner of ... duringthe installation of the database instance.

■ The user ID (UID) and group ID (GID) of each operating system user and group must beidentical for all servers belonging to the same SAP system.This does not mean that all users and groups have to be installed on all SAP servers.

■ If you are installing an SAP system where the instances are to run onseveral hosts (distributedor high-availability system), make sure that the group ID of groupsapinst is always differentfrom the group ID of any other group (for example, of groupsapsys ) used during theinstallation.Example:You are installing a dialog instance in an existing SAP system.

3.3.3 Setting Up File Systems for a High-Availability System

When you prepare a high-availability (HA) installation, you need to set up your file systems as describedhere. For more information, consult your HA partner.

PrerequisitesYou have already installed the hardware – that is, hosts, disks, and network – and decided how todistribute the database, SAP instances, and (if required) Network File System (NFS) server over thecluster nodes (that is, over the host machines). For more information, seePlanning the Switchover Cluster [page43].

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ehp4-sr1-installation 56/142

Procedure1. Create the file systems or raw partitions for the central services (SCS) instance on shared disks. For

more information, see Setting Up File Systems and Raw Devices[page49].

NOTE

The directories /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID> and /usr/sap/trans have to be mounted from aNetwork File System (NFS), whereas/usr/sap/<SAPSID> is a directory of the AS instance thatis always mounted on the instance (not with NFS).Therefore, if the central instance host isnot the NFS server host, you might have to mountat least the first two file systems ondifferent physical disks from the third file system.CAUTION

Make sure that the mount points under /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/ are permanent. Otherwiseautomatic start of the instance services does not work when you reboot the system.

2. If the node that takes over the central instance also runs an AS instance during normal operation,we recommend that you use a different approach for the file system for the/usr/sap/<SAPSID>

directory.The /usr/sap/<SAPSID> directory contains two subdirectories:

■ SYS contains links to the central directory /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

■ <INSTTYPE><NR> contains data for the local AS instanceThe name <INSTTYPE><NR> is defined by the type of services and the application server number,for example DVEBMSG00.

Only the directory <INSTTYPE><NR> needs to be migrated with the AS instance during theswitchover. Since theSYS subdirectory contains only links that do not require any space, it can becreated locally on each cluster node. Therefore, instead of /usr/sap/<SAPSID> , create a file systemfor /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/<INSTTYPE><NR> with the usual <> substitutions. The file name for thecentral instance is usuallyDVEBMGS00. This avoids mount conflicts when switching over to a nodeon which an AS instance is already running. TheDVEBMGS00directory can join the tree /usr/sap/

<SAPSID> instead of mounting on top of it.NOTE

This approach becomes increasingly important when you want to cluster central serviceswhile other instances run on the cluster hosts outside the control of the switchover software,so as to use the resources efficiently. Youmust use this approach for integrated installationsof the AS with ABAP and Java stacks.

3. You assign the local file systems to mount points.4. You assign the shared file systems to mount points in appropriate failover groups.

3.3.4 Configuring Network File System for a High-Availability System

If required, you configure Network File System (NFS), which is a system-wide Single Point-of-Failure(SPOF), for a high-availability (HA) installation with switchover software. For more information,consult your HA partner.

We regard NFS as an extension to the operating system. The switchover product protects NFS andmakes it transparently available to the SAP system in switchover situations.You need to decide:

■ How to protect NFS■ Which switchover cluster nodes NFS is to run on

The NFS configuration might depend on your database system. The directories need to be available forthe SAP system before and after a switchover.

C AUTION

Make sure that the mount points under /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/ are permanent. Otherwiseautomatic start of the instance services does not work when you reboot the system.

Procedure1. Check the NFS directories, several of which need to be shared between all instances of a system.

These directories are:■ /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/profile

Contains the different profiles to simplify maintenance■ /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/global

Contains log files of batch jobs and central SysLog■ /usr/sap/trans

Contains data and log files for objects transported between different SAP Web AS systems (forexample, development – integration). This transport directory ought to be accessible by atleast one AS instance of each system, but preferably by all.

■ /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/exe

Contains the kernel executables. The best solution is to store them locally on all AS instancehosts.

2. Since you can protect NFS by a switchover product, it makes sense to install it on a cluster node.The requirements of your database system might dictate how NFS has to be set up. If required, youcan configure the NFS server on the cluster node of the CI or the DB.In both cases the NFS clients use the virtual IP address to mount NFS. If the second node is used asan additional SAP instance during normal operation (for example, as a dialog instance), it alsoneeds to mount the directories listed above from the primary node.When exporting the directories with their original names, you might encounter the problem of a“busy NFS mount” on the standby node. You can use the following workaround to solve thisproblem:1. On the primary server, mount the disks containing the directories:

/export/usr/sap/trans

/export/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>2. The primary server creates soft links to the directories with the original SAP names:

/usr/sap/trans —> /export/usr/sap/trans

/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID> —> /export/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

Alternatively the primary server can also mount the directories:/export/usr/sap/trans —> /usr/sap/trans

/export/<sapmnt>/SID —> /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

3. The primary server exports:/export/usr/sap/trans

4. The standby NFS mounts:from virt.IP:/export/usr/sap/trans to /usr/sap/trans

from virt.IP:/export/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID> to /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

If the primary node goes down and a switchover occurs, the following happens:■ These directories on the standby node become busy:

/usr/sap/trans

/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

■ The standby node mounts disks to:/export/usr/sap/trans

/export/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

■ The standby node configures the virtual IP addressvirt.IP

■ The standby node exports:/export/usr/sap/trans

/export/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

■ These directories on the standby node are accessible again:/usr/sap/trans

/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>

3.4 Using Virtual Host Names

You can use one or more virtual TCP/IP host names for SAP servers within an SAP server landscape toconceal their physical network identities from each other. This can be useful when quickly movingSAP servers or complete server landscapes to alternative hardware without having to reinstall orreconfigure.Only valid for: HA (UNIX);HA (z/OS) |

Virtual host names are also required for a high-availability installation. For more information, seePerforming Switchover Preparations for High Availability[page60].End of: HA (UNIX);HA (z/OS) |

PrerequisitesMake sure that the virtual host name can be correctly resolved in your Domain Name System (DNS)setup.

3.6 Exporting and Mounting the Global Transport Directory

In your SAP system landscape, a global transport directory for all SAP systems is required.■ If this global transport directory already exists, make sure that it is exported on the global transport

directory host and mount it on the SAP instance installation host.■ If this global transport directory does not exist, proceed as follows:

● Create the transport directory (either on the central instance host or on a file server).● Export it on the global transport directory host.● If you did not create the transport directory on your SAP instance installation host, mount it

there.

Procedure

Exporting the Transport Directory 1. Log on as userroot to the host where the global transport directory /usr/sap/trans resides.2. Make sure that /usr/sap/trans belongs to the group sapsys and to the user root .3. If not already done, export the directory using Network File System (NFS).

Mounting the Transport Directory

NOTE

If the transport directory resides on your local SAP instance installation host, you do not need tomount it.

1. Log on as userroot to the central or dialog instance host where /usr/sap/trans is to be mounted.

3.8 Generating the SAP Solution Manager Key

You must generate the Solution Manager key because the installation tool prompts for it duringtheinstallation. Without this key, the installation process cannot continue . For more information aboutSAP Solution Manager and its role within your system landscape, see the Master Guide of your SAPapplication.

Procedure

1. If SAP Solution Manager is not yet available in your system landscape, proceed as follows:

1. Order SAP Solution Manager as described inSAP Note 628901.2. Install SAP Solution Manager as described in the documentationInstallation Guide – SAP Solution

Manager <Current Release> on <OS>: <Database>, which is available at:http://service.sap.com/instguides SAP Components SAP Solution Manager <Current

3.9 Installing the Java Runtime Environment

You need to prepare your system for SAPinst. This includes the installation of a Java RuntimeEnvironment (JRE), which is required for SAPinst.

NOTE

If required, you can perform aremote installation using a standalone SAPinst GUI on a separateWindows or UNIX host. This lets you perform the installation on a remote host, controlling itwith the SAPinst GUI from a local host. If you want to perform a remote installation, seePerforminga Remote Installation with SAPinst [page118].

Procedure

1. Check the JRE versions that are released for SAP systems in the Product Availability Matrix (PAM):1. Go tohttp://service.sap.com/pam .2. ChooseStart PAM with navigation by category.3. On the right-hand panel, choose SAP Application Components <your product>.4. Choose tabstrip JSE Platforms.

NOTE

For more information about how to download it, see the relevant SAP Note for your operatingsystem, which is referenced near the beginning of SAP Note 723909.

2. Make sure a valid JRE version is installed, as follows:■ If the JRE is not already installed, you need to download and install it.■ If the JRE is not already installed

Since the JRE is not part of the SAP shipment, you need to download and install it. The JRE ispart of the JDK (Java Development Kit).

■ If the JRE is already installedCheck the installed version of the JRE by entering:java -version

NOTE

SAPinst checks environment variableSAPINST_JRE_HOME for a valid Java runtime environment.If SAPINST_JRE_HOME is not found, SAPinst also checksJAVA_HOME.

4.2 Exporting and Mounting Global Directories: Distributedand High-Availability Systems

If you install a database or a dialog instance on a host other than the SAP Global host, you must mountdirectories from the SAP Global Host. The SAP Global Host is in most cases the host on which thecentral instance runs (In a High-Availability system, this is the host on which the ABAP central servicesinstance (ASCS) runs).

Prerequisites■ If you want to install the executables locally instead of sharing them, donot mount the exe

directory with Network File System (NFS). Instead, create<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/exe as a localdirectory (not a link) with a minimum of 1100 MB free space.

■ If you are installing a heterogeneous SAP system (that is, the instances are installed on differentoperating-system platforms), do not mount the exe directory. For more information, seeHeterogeneous SAP System Installations[page129].

Procedure1. Log on to the SAP Global host as userroot and export the following directories with root access

to the host on which you want to install the new instance:<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/exe

<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/profile

<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/global

For more information, seeMounting Directories via NFS for Solaris[page114].CAUTION

Make sure that the global transport directory is mounted on every host where you want toinstall an SAP instance. For more information, seeExporting and Mounting the Global Transport Directory[page60]. Otherwise, the installation fails.

2. Log on to the host of the new instance as userroot .3. Create the following mount points and mount them from the SAP Global host:

<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/exe

<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/profile<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/global

CAUTION

Make sure that these mount points are permanent. Otherwise automatic start of the instanceservices does not work when you reboot the system.

4.3 Performing a High-Availability Installation

This section describes how to perform a high-availability (HA) installation. For more information,consult your HA partner.

Prerequisites■ You have completed all preparations, including switchover preparations for high availability[page60].■ For each installation option, specify the appropriate virtual host name with the SAPinst property

SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME, as described inRunning SAPinst [page73].

Procedure1. Run SAPinst [page73] to install the central services instance (ASCS) using the virtual host name

on the primary cluster node, host A .2. Prepare the standby node,host B . You need to make sure that it meets the hardware and software

requirements and it has all the necessary file systems, mount points, and (if required) NetworkFile System (NFS), as described inPerforming Switchover Preparations for High Availability[page60]

3. Set up the user environment on the standby node, host B .For more information, seeCreating Operating System Users[page47]. Make sure that you use the sameuser and group IDs as on the primary node. Create the home directories of users and copy all files

from the home directory of the primary node.4. Configure the switchover software and test that switchover functions correctly.5. Install the database instance on the primary node,host A .6. Install the central instance with SAPinst [page73] on the primary node, host A.

NOTE

In a high-availability installation, the central instance doesnot need to be part of the clusterbecause it is no longer a single point of failure (SPOF). The SPOF is now in the central servicesinstance (ASCS), which is protected by the cluster.

7. If required,install additional dialog instances with SAPinst [page73] to replicate the SAP system services

that are not a SPOF. These nodes donot need to be part of the cluster.

NOTE

Make sure that you complete the post-installation activities for high availability.

This section describes an installation where SAPinst, GUI, and the GUI server are running on thesame host and on the local display.If you need to see the installation on a remote display, we recommend you perform a remote installation with

SAPinst [page118], where the GUI is running on aseparate host from SAPinst and the GUI server.Alternatively you can use an X server for Microsoft Windows or other remote desktop tools likevncviewer or nxserver/nxclient – offered by various vendors or open source – for remote access to theGUI on Windows workstations. We recommend you use the Hummingbird Exceed X Server, whichwe use to validate installations with SAPinst. For more information, seeSAP Note 1170809.

Useful Information About SAPinst

■ When you start SAPinst, it automatically starts the GUI and GUI server. The GUI connects usinga secure SSL connection to the GUI server and the GUI server connects to SAPinst.

■ SAPinst creates the installation directorysapinst_instdir directly below the temporary directory.SAPinst finds the temporary directory by checking the value of theTEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR

environment variable. If no value is set for these variables, SAPinst creates the installation directorysapinst_instdir directly below the /tmp directory by default.If you want SAPinst to create the installation directorysapinst_instdir in another directorythan /tmp , set the environment variable TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR to the appropriate directory beforeyou start SAPinst.

Shell Used Command

Bourne shell (sh)TEMP=<directory>

export TEMP

C shell (csh) setenv TEMP <directory>

Korn shell (ksh) export TEMP=<directory>

CAUTION

Make sure that the installation directory is not mounted with NFS, or there might be problemswhen the Java Virtual Machine is started.RECOMMENDATION

We recommend that you keep all installation directories until the system is completely and

correctly installed.■ SAPinst creates a subdirectory for each installation option calledsapinst_instdir/

<installation_option_directory> .■ SAPinst extracts itself to the temporary directory. The extracted files are deleted again after SAPinst

has stopped running.Directories calledsapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx sometimes remain undeleted in the temporarydirectory. You can safely delete them.The temporary directory also contains the SAPinst self-extractor log filedev_selfex.out , whichmight be useful if an error occurs.

5.4 Ensuring User Security

You need to ensure the security of the users that SAPinst created during the installation. The tablesbelow at the end of this section list these users:

■ Operating system users■ SAP system users

During the installation, SAPinst by default assigned the master password to all users created during theinstallation unless you specified other passwords.If you change user passwords, be aware that SAP system users might exist in multiple SAP system clients(for example, if a user was copiedas part of the client copy). Therefore, you need to change the passwordsin all the relevant SAP system clients.

CAUTION

SAPinst applied the master password to usersSAP* and DDIC only for SAP system clients 000 and001, but not to usersSAP* , DDIC, and EARLYWATCHin client 066.Instead, SAPinst always assigns the following passwords to these users in client 066:SAP* : 06071992EARLYWATCH: supportSee alsoMaster Password in Basic SAP System Parameters[page36].

RECOMMENDATION

User ID and password are encoded only when transported across the network. Therefore, we

recommend using encryption at the network layer, either by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)protocol for HTTP connections or Secure Network Communications (SNC) for the SAP protocolsdialog and RFC.For more information, see:

http://help.sap.com/nw70 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Library (including Enhancement Package 1) EnglishSAP NetWeaver Library SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability Security Network and T ransport Layer

Security

CAUTION

Make sure that you perform this procedure before the newly installed SAP system goes intoproduction. For security reasons, you also need to copy the installation directory to a separate,secure location – such as a DVD – and then delete the installation directory.

ProcedureFor the users listed below, take the precautions described in the relevant SAP security guide, which youcan find at http://service.sap.com/securityguide :

5.5 Installing the SAP License

You must install a permanent SAP license. When you install your SAP system, atemporary licenseis automatically installed. This temporary license allows you to use the system foronly 4 weeks fromthe date of installation.

CAUTION

Before the temporary license expires, you must apply for a permanent license key from SAP.We recommend that you apply for a permanent license key as soon as possible after installing yoursystem.

Procedure

Install the SAP license as described in the SAP Library at:http://help.sap.com/nw70 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Library (including Enhancement Package 1) English SAP

NetWeaver Library Technology Consultant's Guide Cross-NetWeaver Configurations SAP License KeysOnly valid for: HA (UNIX) |

If you have installed a high-availability system, proceed as described inHigh Availability: Setting UpLicenses[page91].End of: HA (UNIX) |

More Information

For more information about SAP license keys, seehttp://service.sap.com/licensekey .

5.6 High Availability: Setting Up Licenses

Every SAP system needs a central license, which is determined by the environment of the messageserver. Since SAP's high-availability (HA) solution stipulates 2 or more cluster nodes (host machines)where the message server is enabled to run, you have to order as manylicense keys[page91] as you havecluster nodes.When we receive confirmation from your vendor that you are implementing a switchover

environment, we provide the required license keys for your system, 1 key for each machine.SAP has implemented a license mechanism for transparent and easy use with switchover solutions andclustered environments. Your customer key is calculated on the basis of local information on themessage server host. This is the host machine where the ABAP central services instance (ASCS) runs.There is no license problem when only the database is switched over.

Prerequisites

The SAP system is up and running.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the ABAP central services instance (ASCS) on the primary host, node A, is running.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ehp4-sr1-installation 92/142

2. To find the hardware ID of the primary host, log on to any application server instance of the SAPsystem and call transaction SLICENSE.

3. Perform a switchover of the ABAP central services instance (ASCS) to another node in the cluster

and repeat the previous step.Repeat this for all remaining nodes in the cluster.

4. To obtain the two license keys, enter the hardware IDs for the primary and backup hosts at:http://service.sap.com/licensekey

5. To import the files containing the two licenses, log on to any application server instance of theSAP system and call transaction SLICENSE.

6. Performa switchover of the ABAP central services instance (ASCS) to another node in the clusterand repeat the previous step.Repeat this for all remaining nodes in the cluster.

Result

The license is no longer a problem during switchover. This means you donot need to callsaplicense in your switchover scripts.

5.7 Applying the Latest Kernel and Support Package Stacks

We strongly recommend that you apply the latest kernel and Support Package stacks from SAP ServiceMarketplace before you start configuring your SAP system.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you read the release notes for your SAP system before you apply Support Package stacks.The releasenotes might include information about steps you have to perform after you have appliedthe Support Package stacks. For more information, seehttp://service.sap.com/releasenotes .

Procedure

5.10 Performing Initial ABAP Configuration

When you have installed your SAP ABAP system, you have to perform the following initialconfiguration steps:

■ Perform a consistency check■ Configure the transport management system■ Perform basic operations■ Configure system parameters■ Configure the number of work processes■ Configure kernel parameters

■ Install languages and performing language transport■ Configure the integrated Internet Transaction Server (ITS)■ Make your newly installed SAP system known to your SAP Solution Manager■ Maintain your company address for initial users■ Configure AS ABAP to support Secure Socket Layer (SSL)■ Configure Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN)■ Configure business applications

For more information, see the appropriate sections below.

PrerequisitesYou have logged on to the ABAP application server as described inLogging On to the Application Server [page87].

Procedure

Performing a Consistency Check

We recommend that you check the consistency of the newly installed SAP ABAP system. When loggingon to the system for the first time, you need to trigger a consistency check manually. The function isthen called automatically whenever you start the system or an application server.This checks the following:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ehp4-sr1-installation 94/142

■ Completeness of installation■ Version compatibility between the SAP release and the operating system

The initial consistency check determines whether:● The release number in the SAP kernel matches the release number defined in the database

system● The character set specified in the SAP kernel matches the character set specified in the database

system● Critical structure definitions that are defined in both the data dictionary and the SAP kernel

are identical. The structures checked by this function include SYST, T100, TSTC, TDCT, andTFDIR.

■ Accessibility of the message server■ Availability of all work process types■ Information about the enqueue server and the update service

To perform a consistency check, you can either call transaction SICK (SAP initial consistency check)or choose Tools Administration Administration Installation Checkfrom the menu.For more information, see the SAP Library at:

6.1 Installation of Multiple Compo ne nts in One Database

You can install multiple SAP systems in asingle database. Thisis called Multiple Components in OneDatabase (MCOD).

EXAM P LE

You install an SAP ERP central system and an SAP CRM central system in a single database.

MCOD is available with all SAP components. We are releasing this technology on all the major databasesfor the SAP system, in line with our commitment to deliver platform-independent solutions.

Page 104: EHP4 SR1 Installation

7/29/2019 EHP4 SR1 Installation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ehp4-sr1-installation 104/142

Using this technology is as easy as installing a separate component. No extra effort is required becausethe MCOD installation is fully integrated into the standard installation procedure. MCOD is not anadditional installation option. Instead, it is an option of the database instance installation.

With MCOD we distinguish two scenarios:■ The installation of an SAP system in a new database■ The installation of an additional SAP system in an existing database

Prerequisites■ For more information about MCOD and its availability on different platforms, seehttp://

www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/dbos .■ We have released MCOD for Unicode installations. A prerequisite is that the MCOD system contains

Unicode instances only. SAP does not support mixed solutions.■ Improved sizing required

In general, you calculate the CPU usage for an MCOD database by adding up the CPU usage foreach individual SAP system. You can do the same for memory resources and disk space.You can size multiple components in one database by sizing each individual component using theQuick Sizer tool and then adding the requirements together. For more information about theQuick Sizer , seehttp://service.sap.com/sizing .

Features■ Reduced administration effort■ Consistent system landscape for backup, system copy, administration, and recovery■ Increased security and reduced database failure for multiple SAP systems due to monitoring and

administration of only one database■ Independent upgrade

In an MCOD landscape, you can upgrade a single component independently from the othercomponents running in the s ame database, assuming that the upgraded component runs on thesame database version. However, if you need to restore a backup, be aware that all other componentsare also affected.

NOTE

Special MCOD considerations and differences from the standard procedure are listed whererelevant in the installation documentation.

Constraints

RECOMMENDATION

We strongly recommend that you test MCOD in a test or development system.We recommend that you run MCOD systems in the same context. We do not recommend thatyou mix test, development, and production systems in the same MCOD.

■ In the event of database failure, all SAP systems running on the single database are affected.■ Automated support in an MCOD landscape for the following administrative tasks depends on your

operating system and database:● Copying a single component from an MCOD landscape to another database at database level.● Uninstalling a single component from an MCOD landscape requires some additional steps.

You can use a remote connection to SAP support to request help with these tasks. For moreinformation, see http://service.sap.com/remoteconnection .

■ When you use stopsap in an MCOD system with two central instances, only one central instanceis stopped. Therefore, you must first stop the other SAP system withstopsap R3 to make sure thatthe database is also stopped.

■ You cannot install a Unicode ABAP system with a non-Unicode ABAP system in one database.■ For the second SAP system, you must use the sameDBSID as for the first SAP system.■ If you install a system into an existing database (MCOD), the SYSTEM tablespace must contain at

least 400 MB of free space. If there is not enough space left, increase the size of this tablespace withBRSPACE or BRTOOLS.

■ If you decide to turn off archive log mode during the database load phase of the installation, youneed to plan downtime for all MCOD systems sharing the database.

6.2 Integration of LD AP D irectory Services

This section explains the benefits of using the SAP system with the Lightweight Directory AccessProtocol (LDAP) directory and gives an overview of the configuration steps required to use an SAPsystem with the directory.LDAP defines a standard protocol for accessing directory services, which is supported by variousdirectory products such as Microsoft Active Directory, andOpenLDAP slapd . Using directory servicesenables important information in a corporate network to be stored centrally on a server. The advantageof storing information centrally for the entire network is that you only have to maintain data once,which avoids redundancy and inconsistency.If an LDAP directory is available in your corporate network, you can configure the SAP system to usethis feature. For example, a correctly configured SAP system can read information from the directoryand also store information there.

NOTE

The SAP system can interact with the Active Directory using the LDAP protocol, which defines:

■ The communication protocol between the SAP system and the directory■ How data in the directory is structured, accessed, or modified

If a directory other than the Active Directory also supports the LDAP protocol, the SAP system

can take advantage of the information stored there. For example, if there is an LDAP directory ona UNIX or Windows server, you can configure the SAP system to use the information availablethere. In the following text, directories other than the Active Directory that implement the LDAPprotocol are called generic LDAP directories .

C AUTION

This section doesnot provide information about the use of LDAP directories with the LDAPConnector. For more information about using and configuring the LDAP Connector for an ABAPsystem, see the SAP Library at http://help.sap.com/nw70 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Library (including

PrerequisitesYou can only configure the SAP system for Active Directory services or other LDAP directories if theseare already available on the network. As of Windows 2000 or higher, the Active Directory isautomatically available on all domain controllers. A generic LDAP directory is an additional componentthat you must install separately on a UNIX or Windows server.

FeaturesIn the SAP environment, you can exploit the information stored in an Active Directory or genericLDAP directory by using:

■ SAP Logon■ The SAP Microsoft Management Console (SAP MMC)■ The SAP Management Console (SAP MC)

SAP Logon

Instead of using a fixed list of systems and message servers, you can configure the SAP Logon in thesapmsg.ini configuration file to find SAP systems and their message servers from the directory. If you

configure SAP logon to use the LDAP directory, it queries the directory each timeServer or Groupselectionis chosen to fetch up-to-date information on available SAP systems.To use LDAP operation mode, make sure that thesapmsg.ini file contains the following:[Address]

Mode=LDAPdirectory

LDAPserver=

LDAPnode=

LDAPoptions=

Distinguish the following cases:■ If you use an Active Directory, you must setLDAPoptions=“DirType=NT5ADS” . For more

information, see the SAP system profile parameterldap/options .■ You must specify the directory servers (for example,LDAPserver=pcintel6 p24709 ) if either of

the following is true:● The client is not located in the same domain forest as the Active Directory● The operating system does not have a directory service client (Windows NT and Windows 9X

without installed dsclient ).For more information, see the SAP system profile parameterldap/servers .

■ For other directory services, you can useLDAPnodeto specify the distinguished name of the SAProot node. For more information, see the SAP system profile parameterldap/saproot .

SAP MMC

The SAP MMC is a graphical user interface (GUI) for administering and monitoring SAP systems froma central location. It is automatically set up when you install an SAP system on Windows. If the SAPsystem has been prepared correctly, the SAP MMC presents and analyzes system information that itgathers from various sources, including the Active Directory.Integrating the Active Directory as a source of information has advantages for the SAP MMC. It can

read system information straight from the directory that automatically registers changes to the systemlandscape. As a result, up-to-date information about all SAP application servers, their status, andparameter settings is always available in the SAP MMC.If you need to administer distributed systems, we especially recommend that you use the SAP MMCtogether with Active Directory services. You can keep track of significant events in all of the systemsfrom a single SAP MMC interface. You do not need to manually register changes in the systemconfiguration. Instead, such changes are automatically updated in the directory and subsequentlyreflected in the SAP MMC.

If your SAP system is part of a heterogeneous SAP system landscape that comprises systems or instancesboth on UNIX and Windows operating systems, you can also use the SAP MMC for operating andmonitoring the instances running on UNIX.

SAP MC

The SAP MC is a graphical user interface (GUI) for administering and monitoring SAP systems from acentral location.

Configuration Tasks for LDAP Directories

This section describes the configuration tasks you have to perform for the Active Directory or other(generic) LDAP directories.

Configuration Tasks for Active Directory

To enable an SAP system to use the features offered by the Active Directory, you must configure theActive Directory so that it can store SAP system data.To prepare the directory, you use SAPinst to automatically:

■ Extend the Active Directory schema to include the SAP-specific data types■ Create the domain accounts required to enable the SAP system to access and modify the Active

Directory. These are the group SAP_LDAP and the user sapldap .■ Create the root container where information related to SAP is stored■ Control access to the container for SAP data by giving members of theSAP_LDAP group permission

to read and write to the directoryYou do this by running SAPinst on the Windows server on which you want to use Active DirectoryServices and choosing <Your SAP product> Software Life-Cycle Options LDAP Registration ActiveDirectory Configuration. For more information about running SAPinst on Windows, see the

documentation Installation Guide — <Your SAP product> on Windows: <Database>.NOTE

You have to perform the directory server configuration only once . Then all SAP systems thatneed to register in this directory server can use this setup.

Configuration Tasks for Generic LDAP Directories

To configure other LDAP directories, refer to the documentation of your directory vendor.

Enabling the SAP System LDAP Registration

Once you have correctly configured your directory server, you can enable the LDAP registration of theSAP system by setting some profile parameters in the default profile.

To do this, run SAPinstonce for your system and choose <Your SAP product> Software Life-Cycle OptionsLDAP Registration LDAP Support

If you use a directory server other than Microsoft Active Directory and/or non-Windows application

servers, you have to store the directory user and password information by usingldappasswd

pf=<any_instance_profile> . The information is encrypted for storage inDIR_GLOBALand is thereforevalid for all application servers. After restarting all application servers and start services, the system isregistered in your directory server. The registration protocols of the components are dev_ldap* . Theregistration is updated every time a component starts.

6.3 Setting up Swap Space for SolarisProcedure1. Check if there is sufficient swap space (seeHardware and Software Requirements[page19]).

To check the allocated swap space, enter the following command:swap -s

2. If required, increase swap space as described in the System Administrator Collection:■ Solaris 9: See theSolaris 9 <Release> System Administrator Collectionat:http://docs.sun.com/app/

6.5 Setting up File Systems and Raw Devices for SolarisProcedure

Creating File Systems on Hard Disk Partitions

NOTE

To set up file systems larger than 2 GB, no special steps are required on Solaris.

1. Look for already configured and mounted file systems using the command:df -k

2. Look for the physical available disks and partitions using theformat or/usr/sbin/prtvtoc <rawdevice> utility.

3. Verify that the partition is unused.4. Create new file systems using the commandnewfs :

■ Oracle (sapdata file systems):newfs -i 20000 -m 1 -b 8192 -f 8192 <rawdevice>

■ Standard SAP file systems:newfs <rawdevice>

EXAM P LE

newfs /dev/rdsk/<diskdevice>

The disk naming convention is based on logical (not physical) device names.● Solaris 9: For more information about the appropriate disk naming convention, see

the Solaris 9 <Release> System Administrator Collectionat:http://docs.sun.com/app/

docs/prod/solaris .9

● Solaris 10: For more information about the appropriate disk naming convention,see theSolaris 10 <Release> System Administrator Collectionat:http://docs.sun.com/app/

docs/prod/solaris.10

Mounting File Systems

Create directories (mkdir ) and mount the file systems using the command:mount <blockdevice> <mountdir>

To make the file systems available automatically each time the system boots, add an entry to the/etc/

vfstab file as follows:/dev/dsk/<diskdevice> /dev/rdsk/<diskdevice>/<mountdir> ufs <fsck pass#> yes —

where <fsck pass#> is a number greater than 6If you use Solaris Volume Manager, for example Solstice DiskSuite, see the appropriate productdocumentation:

docs/prod/solaris.10

Accessing Raw Devices on SolarisFile systems and raw devices differ in the way that data is written to and read from disk:

■ Buffering : Reads and writes to a file system are buffered in a UNIX system. To be absolutely surethat all data is physically present on a disk, the buffers and files must be synchronized.Unbuffered : Writes to a raw device are sent directly to the disk, which is faster and more secure.

■ File access : Accessing files on a UNIX file system is transparent. Accessing data on a raw device isonly possible with a special application.

Some databases prefer raw devices.For Oracle it is not necessary to create symbolic links to access these raw devices.

6.6 Dialog Instance Installation for an Upgraded System only:Updating Profiles

You only need to perform the Procedurefurther below if you want to install a dialog instance and youhave already performed the following steps:1. You upgraded your SAP system from an earlier source release to a target releaselower than SAP

ERP 6.0 SR3.

2. You installed Enhancement Package 4 with the SAP Enhancement Package Installer.Procedure1. On the SAP Global host, go to folder/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/profile .

To mount directories via NFS from the host where the directory resides that you want to mount, logon as user root and proceed as follows:

On the host on which the directory to be mounted resides:

1. Enter the command:/usr/sbin/share

2. To add file systems shared via NFS, edit file/etc/dfs/dfstab :vi /etc/dfs/dfstab

Add the following line for each file system:share -F nfs -o root=<nfsclient1>:<nfsclient2>,anon=0 \

-d "description" <file_system_to_be_shared>

NOTE

Depending on your configuration, a full qualified name may be required fornfsclient , forexample, myclient.mydomain.com .CAUTION

After your SAP system has been installed successfully, in the above line you have to change-o root to -o rw (or remove anon=0 , respectively) for all exported directories:share -F nfs -o rw=<nfsclient1>:<nfsclient2> \

-d "description" <file_system_to_be_shared>

6.9.3 Performing a Remote Installation with SAPinst

You use this procedure to install your SAP system on aremote host. In this case, SAPinst and the GUIserver run on the remote host, and SAPinst GUI runs on thelocal host. The local host is the host from

which you control the installation with SAPinst GUI.Alternatively you can use an X server for Microsoft Windows or other remote desktop tools such asVNC Viewer or NX Server / NX Client – offered by various vendors or open source – for remote accessto SAPinst GUI on Windows workstations. We recommend you use the Hummingbird Exceed X Server,which we use to validate installations with SAPinst. For more information, see SAP Note1170809.

C AUTION

The behavior of SAPinst has changed compared to previous versions. SAP no longer delivers any JCE policy archives within the SAP Java Virtual Machine (SAP JVM). You have to download the

required Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy zip file from SAP on the remote host. For moreinformation, see SAP Note 1238121.

Prerequisites■ The remote host meets the prerequisites as described inPrerequisitesin Running SAPinst [page73].■ Both computers are in the same network and can ping each other.

To test this:1. Log on to your remote host and enter the command ping <local host> .2. Log on to the local host and enter the command ping <remote host> .

6.10.2 Starting and Stopping SAP System Instances UsingScripts

You can start and stop SAP system instances by running thestartsap and stopsap scripts.You can also use the SAP Management Console (SAP MC) to start or stop the instances of the SAPsystem (seeStarting and Stopping SAP System Instances Using the SAP Management Console[page122]).

Prerequisites■ You have checked the default profile/<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>/profile/DEFAULT.PFL for parameter

login/system client and set the value to the correct production system client. For example, theentry must be login/system_client = 001 if your production client is 001.

■ You have checked the settings for Java Virtual Machine parameters as described inSAP Note723909.

■ You have logged on to the SAP system hosts as user<sapsid>adm .■ For more information about how to start or stop database-specific tools, see the database-specific

information in this documentation and the documentation from the database manufacturer.■ If you want to usestartsap or stopsap (for example, in a script) and require the fully qualified

name of these SAP scripts, create a link tostartsap or stopsap in the home directory of thecorresponding user.

CAUTION

If there aremultiple SAP instances on one host – for example, a central instance and a dialog

instance – you must add an extra parameter to the scripts:startsap <instanceID>

stopsap <instanceID>

For example, enter:NOTE

The instance name (instance ID) of the central instance isDVEBMGS<Instance_Number> , theinstance name of a dialog instance isD<Instance_Number> .Only valid for: HA (UNIX) |

The instance name of the ABAP central services instance isASCS<Instance_Number> .End of: HA (UNIX) |

Procedure

Starting SAP S ystem Instances

■ To start all instances on the central system host, enter the following command:startsap
