1 Introduction

This documentation describes how to install SAP SCM Optimizer.

You can install SAP SCM Optimizer either on an ABAP application server or on a dedicated server

running on Windows with SAP Standalone Gateway installed.

Make sure that you have read the Master Guide for your SAP Business Suite Application before you

continue with this installation guide. You can find a printed version of the Master Guide in your

installation package or you can download the latest version at http://service.sap.com/

instguides.

NOTE

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 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.

1.1 SAP Notes for the Installation

You 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 these SAP Notes, which you can find at: http://

2 Planning

2.1 Planning Checklist

This section tells you how to plan the installation of the SCM Optimizer:

You make yourself familiar with the implementation considerations [page 7].

2.2 Implementation Considerations

You can install SAP SCM Optimizer either on top of an existing ABAP application server or on a dedicated

server.

The following applies:

■ SAP SCM Optimizer runs on Windows, Linux, and AIX platforms.

For more information, see the Product Availability Matrix at http://service.sap.com/pam.

■ If you use a dedicated server for SAP SCM Optimizer, you need to install an SAP Standalone Gateway

beforehand. For more information, see the Installation Guide for Standalone Engines in SAP

NetWeaver on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/installnw73 under

Installation - Standalone Engines Inst. Gateway for NW 7.3/NW 7.3 EHP1 Using SW Prov. Mgr. 1.0 SP00 .

RECOMMENDATION

The CPU time and memory requirement can be very high when you execute an optimizer

instance. If insufficient resources are available, this can impact heavily on performance or

affect correct implementation. Therefore, we highly recommend that you install an SAP

SCM Optimizer server for a production or test environment on dedicated hardware (that is,

no additional applications will run on this hardware). If you want to run other applications

on the optimizer server, you must make sure that these are executed in sequence or that the

hardware used provides sufficient resources. This also applies to executing several optimizer

instances.

■ Check SAP Note 1577112 for sizing information and other requirements.

3 Preparation

3.1 Preparation Checklist

You have to complete the following preparations:

1. If you want to install the SCM Optimizer on top of an existing ABAP application server, you make

sure that there is an ABAP application server in your system landscape.

2. If you want to install the SCM Optimizer on a dedicated host, you make sure that there is a

standalone SAP gateway on this host. For more information, see the Installation Guide for

Standalone Engines in SAP NetWeaver on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/

installnw73 under Installation - Standalone Engines Inst. Gateway for NW 7.3/NW 7.3 EHP1 Using SW

Prov. Mgr. 1.0 SP00 .

3. You prepare the installation media [page 9] for the SCM Optimizer installation.

3.2 Preparing the Installation Media

This section describes how to prepare the installation media, which are available as follows:

■ The software provisioning manager 1.0 archive containing the installer as such.

You always have to download the latest version of the software provisioning manager 1.0 archive.

■ The media containing the software to be installed, which are available as follows:

● You normally obtain the physical installation media as part of the installation package.

● You can also download the installation media apart from the software provisioning manager

1.0 archive from SAP Service Marketplace, as described at the end of this section.

Prerequisites

Make sure the latest version of the SAPCAR archiving tool is available on each installation host.

You require the SAPCAR archiving tool to be able to unpack software component archives (*.SAR files)

which is the format of software life-cycle media and tools that you can download from the SAP software

distribution center.

If required, you can download the latest version of SAPCAR from http://service.sap.com/swdc

Support Packages and Patches A – Z Index S SAPCAR .

For more information about SAPCAR, see SAP Note 212876.

2. Unpack the software provisioning manager archive to a local directory using the following

command:

SAPCAR –xvf <download directory>/<path>/<Archive>.SAR -R <unpack directory>

NOTE

Make sure that all users have read permissions for the directory where you want to

unpacked the installer.

3. CAUTION

If you copy the media to disk, make sure that the paths to the destination location of the

copied media do not contain any blanks.

Downloading Installation Media from SAP Service Marketplace

You normally obtain the installation media as part of the installation package from SAP.

However, you can also download installation media from the software distribution center on SAP

Service Marketplace using one of the following paths:

NOTE

You always have to download the software provisioning manager 1.0 archive (SWPM10SP<support

package number>_<version number>.SAR) from the software distribution center because you

have to use the latest version (see above).

■ http://service.sap.com/swdc Installations and Upgrades A-Z index <first letter of your product>

<your product> <your product version>

■ http://service.sap.com/swdc Installations and Upgrades Browse our Download Catalog <your

product> <your product version>

NOTE

If you download installation media, note that they might be split into several files. In this case,

you have to reassemble the required files after the download.

1. Identify all download objects that belong to one installation medium according to one or both of

the following:

■ Material number

All download objects that are part of an installation medium have the same material number

and an individual sequence number:

<material_number>_<sequence_number>

3 Preparation


10/32 CUSTOMER 2013-08-20





EXAMPLE

51031387_1

51031387_2

...

■ Title

All objects that are part of an installation medium have the same title, such as

<solution><media_name><OS> or <database>RDBMS<OS> for database media.

2. Download the objects to the download directory.

3. To correctly re-combine the media that are split into small parts, you must unpack all parts into

the same directory.

In the unpacking directory, the system creates a subdirectory with a short text describing the

medium and copies the data into it. The data is now all in the correct directory, the same as on the

medium that was physically produced. For more information, see SAP Note 1258173.

4 Installation

4.1 Installation Checklist

This section provides information about the steps that you have to perform to install SAP SCM

Optimizer.

1. Make sure that you have completed the planning [page 7] and preparation [page 9] activities before you

start the installation.

2. You run the installation with Software Provisioning Manager 1.0 (the Installer) [page 13].

Additional information about the installer:

■ Interrupted Installation with the Installer [page 17]

■ Performing a Remote Installation with the Installer [page 19]

■ Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page 20]

■ Running the Installer in Accessibility Mode [page 22]

■ Troubleshooting with the Installer [page 23]

4.2 Running the Installer

This section describes how to run the installation tool software provisioning manager 1.0 (the “installer”

for short). Software provisioning manager 1.0 includes a GUI client and a GUI server, which both use

Java. In the following, GUI client and GUI server are called the “installer GUI”.

This procedure describes an installation where the installer and the installer GUI are running on the

same host.

If you need to see the installation on a remote display, we recommend that you perform a remote

installation [page 19], where the installer GUI is running on a separate host from the installer.

Alternatively you can use an X server for Microsoft Windows or other remote desktop tools for remote

access to the installer GUI on Windows workstations. For more information, see SAP Note 1170809.

Useful Information About the Installer

■ The installer creates the installation directory sapinst_instdir directly below the temporary

directory. The installer finds the temporary directory by checking the value of the TEMP, TMP, or

TMPDIR environment variable. If no value is set for these variables, the installer uses /tmp as

default installation directory.

If you want to use an alternative installation directory, set the environment variable TEMP, TMP,

or TMPDIR to the required directory before you start the installer.

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, otherwise there might

be problems when the Java Virtual Machine is started.

■ The installer creates a subdirectory for each installation option called <sapinst_instdir>/

<installation_option_directory>.

■ The installer extracts itself to the temporary directory. These executables are deleted again after

the installer has stopped running.

Directories called sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx sometimes remain in the temporary directory. You

can safely delete them.

The temporary directory also contains the log file dev_selfex.out from the extraction process,

which might be useful if an error occurs.

CAUTION

If the installer cannot find a temporary directory, the installation terminates with the error

FCO-00058.

■ During the installation, the default port 21212 is used for communication between the installer

GUI server and the installer GUI client. If this port is already in use, you see an error message.

In this case or if you want the installer to use a specific port, open a command prompt and change

to the required directory to which you unpacked the SWPM10SP<support package

number>_<version number>.SAR file

Execute the sapinst executable with the following command line parameter:

GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=<port_number_gui_server_to_gui_client>

■ To see a list of all available installer properties, start the installer as described above with the option

-p:

./sapinst -p.

■ If you need to run the installer in accessibility mode, proceed as described in Running the Installer in

Accessibility Mode [page 22].

■ If required, you can stop the installer by choosing SAPinst Cancel in the installer GUI menu.

NOTE

If you need to terminate the installer, you can do this by pressing Ctrl + C .

Prerequisites

■ Ensure that you have applied SAP Note 1697164.

■ We recommend that you use the csh shell for the installation with the installer. If you want to use

another shell, make sure that you have read SAP Note 202227.

14/32 CUSTOMER 2013-08-20



■ Make sure that your operating system does not delete the contents of the temporary directory /

tmp or the contents of the directories to which the variables TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR point, for example

by using a crontab entry.

Make sure that the temporary directory has the permissions 1777.

■ Make sure that you have at least 300 MB of free space in the installation directory for each installation

option. In addition, you need 300 MB free space for the installer executables. If you cannot provide

300 MB free space in the temporary directory, you can set one of the environment variables TEMP,

TMP, or TMPDIR to another directory with 300 MB free space for the installer executables.

You can set values for the TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR environment variable to an alternative installation

directory as described above in section Useful Information About the Installer.

■ Make sure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set to <host_name>:0.0, where

<host_name> is the host on which you want to display the installer GUI.

You can set values for the DISPLAY environment variables as follows:

Shell Used Command

Bourne shell (sh) DISPLAY=<host_name>:0.0

export DISPLAY

C shell (csh) setenv DISPLAY <host_name>:0.0

Korn shell (ksh) export DISPLAY=<host_name>:0.0

■ Make sure that umask is set to 022 for user root.

As user root, enter the following command: umask 022

Procedure

1. Log on to the installation host as user root.

CAUTION

Do not use an existing <sapsid>adm user.

2. Start the installer from the directory to which you unpacked the SWPM10SP<support package

number>_<version number>.SAR file by executing the following command: /<path to unpack

directory>/sapinst

CAUTION

Make sure that the installation directory is not mounted with NFS, or there might be problems

when the Java Virtual Machine is started.

4. Follow the instructions in the installer screens and enter the required parameters.

NOTE

To find more information on each parameter during the input phase of the installation,

position the cursor on the required parameter and press F1 .

After you have entered all requested input parameters, the installer displays the Parameter Summary

screen. This screen shows both the parameters that you entered and those that the installer set by

default. If required, you can revise the parameters before starting the installation.

5. To start the installation, choose Start.

The installer starts the installation and displays the progress of the installation. When the

installation has finished, the installer shows the message Execution of <Option_Name> has completed.

6. If required, delete directories with the name sapinst_exe.xxxxxx.xxxx after the installer has

finished. Sometimes these remain in the temporary directory.

NOTE

If there are errors with the extraction process of the installer, you can find the log file

dev_selfex.out in the temporary directory.

7. We recommend that you delete all files in the directory <user_home>/.sdtgui/.

8. If you copied the installer software to your hard disk, you can delete these files when the installation

has successfully completed.

4.3 Additional Information About the Installer

The following sections provide additional information about the installer:

■ Interrupted Installation [page 17]

■ Performing a Remote Installation [page 19]

■ Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page 20]

■ Running the Installer in Accessibility Mode [page 22]

■ Troubleshooting with the Installer [page 23]

4.3.1 Interrupted Installation

The SAP system installation might be interrupted for one of the following reasons:

■ An error occurred during the Define Parameters or Execute phase:

The installer does not abort the installation in error situations. If an error occurs, the installation

pauses and a dialog box appears. The dialog box contains a short description of the choices listed

in the table below as well as a path to a log file that contains detailed information about the error.

■ You interrupted the installation by choosing Cancel in the SAPinst menu.

CAUTION

If you stop an option in the Execute phase, any system or component installed by this option

is incomplete and not ready to be used. Any system or component uninstalled by this option

is not completely uninstalled.

The following table describes the options in the dialog box:

Option Definition

Retry The installer retries the installation from the point of failure without repeating any of the previous steps.This is possible because the installer records the installation progress in the keydb.xml file.We recommend that you view the entries in the log files, try to solve the problem, and then choose Retry.If the same or a different error occurs, the installer displays the same dialog box again.

Stop The installer stops the installation, closing the dialog box, the installer GUI, and the GUI server.The installer records the installation progress in the keydb.xml file. Therefore, you can continue the installation from the point of failure without repeating any of the previous steps. See the procedure below.

Continue The installer continues the installation from the current point.

View Log Access installation log files.

NOTE

You can also terminate the installer by choosing Ctrl + C . However, we do not recommend

that you use Ctrl + C , because this kills the process immediately.

2013-08-20 CUSTOMER 17/32

Procedure

This procedure describes the steps to restart an installation, which you stopped by choosing Stop, or to

continue an interrupted installation after an error situation.

1. Log on to your local UNIX host as user root.

CAUTION

Make sure that the root user has not set any environment variables for a different SAP system

or database.

2. Make sure that the installation media are still available on the installation host.

RECOMMENDATION

Make installation media locally available. For example, if you use Network File System (NFS),

reading from media mounted with NFS might fail.

3. Restart the installer from the directory to which you unpacked the SWPM10SP<support package

number>_<version number>.SAR file by executing the following command:

/<path to unpack directory>/sapinst

4. From the tree structure in the Welcome screen, select the installation option that you want to

continue and choose Next.

The What do you want to do? screen appears.

5. In the What do you want to do? screen, decide between the following alternatives and continue with

Next:

Alternative Behavior

Run a new option The installer does not continue the interrupted installation option. Instead, it moves the content of the old installation directory and all installation-specific files to a backup directory. Afterwards, you can no longer continue the old installation option.For the backup directory, the following naming convention is used:<log_day_month_year_hours_minutes_seconds>.

NOTE

All actions taken by the installation before you stopped it (like creating directories, or users) will not be revoked.

EXAMPLE

log_01_Oct_2008_13_47_56

CAUTION

The installer moves all the files and folders to a new log directory, even if these files and folders are owned by other users. If there are any processes currently running on these files and folders, they might no longer function properly.

Continue with the old option The installer continues the interrupted installation from the point of failure.

18/32 CUSTOMER 2013-08-20

4.3.2 Performing a Remote Installation

You use this procedure to install your SAP system on a remote host. In this case, the installer and the

GUI server run on the remote host, and the installer GUI client (the “installer GUI” for short) runs on

the local host. The local host is the host from which you control the installation with the installer GUI.

If your security policy requires that the person performing the installation by running the installer

GUI on the local host is not allowed to know root credentials on the remote host, you can specify

another operating system user for authentication purposes. You do this using the

SAPINST_REMOTE_ACCESS_USER parameter when starting the sapinst executable from the command

line. You have to confirm that the user is a trusted one. For more information, see SAP Note

1745524.

Alternatively you can use an X server for Microsoft Windows or other remote desktop tools for remote

access to the installer GUI on Windows workstations. For more information, see SAP Note 1170809.

You can run the installer GUI on a PC with 32-bit while the installer is running on a 64-bit installation

host. For more information, see Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page 20].

Prerequisites

■ Ensure that you have read SAP Note 1697164.

■ ■ 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>.

■ Make sure that the sapinst executable on the remote host and the sapinstgui executable on the

local host have exactly the same version. You can check this by using the option –sfxver as

described in the procedure below and in the procedure in Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page

20].

■ If you need to specify another operating system user with the SAPINST_REMOTE_ACCESS_USER

command line parameter, make sure that this user exists on the remote host.

Procedure

1. Log on to your remote host as user root.

CAUTION

Make sure that the root user has not set any environment variables for a different SAP system

or database.

2. Make the installation media available on the remote host.

RECOMMENDATION

Make installation media locally available. For example, reading from media mounted with

Network File System (NFS) might fail.

4 Installation


2013-08-20 CUSTOMER 19/32




3. Check the version of the sapinst executable by entering the following command:

./sapinst –sfxver

The version of the sapinst executable must be exactly the same as the version of the

sapinstgui executable on the local host (see also Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page 20]).

4. Start the installer from the directory to which you unpacked the SWPM10SP<support package

number>_<version number>.SAR file by executing the following command: /<path to unpack

directory>/sapinst -nogui

NOTE

If you need to specify another operating system user for authentication purposes, enter the

following command:

./sapinst -nogui SAPINST_REMOTE_ACCESS_USER=<specified OS user>

The installer now starts and waits for the connection to the installer GUI. You see the following

at the command prompt:

guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host <host_name>, port

<port_number> to continue with the installation

5. Start the installer GUI on your local host as described in Starting the Installer GUI Separately [page

20].

4.3.3 Starting the Installer GUI Separately

You use this procedure to start the installer GUI separately. You might need to start the installer GUI

separately in the following cases:

■ You closed the installer GUI using File Exit from the installer menu while the installer is still

running.

■ You want to perform a remote installation, where the installer GUI runs on a different host from

the installer. For more information, see Performing a Remote Installation [page 19].

■ You want to run the installer in accessibility mode. In this case, you have to start the installer GUI

separately on a Windows host as described below with the additional command line parameter –

accessible.

For more information, see Running the Installer in Accessibility Mode [page 22].

Prerequisites

■ Make sure that the sapinst executable on the remote host and the sapinstgui executable on the

local host have exactly the same version. You can check this by using the option –sfxver as

described in the procedure below and in the procedure in Performing a Remote Installation [page 19].

5.1 Post-Installation Checklist

You need to perform the following post-installation steps for SAP SCM Optimizer after the installer

has finished:

1. You perform a setup check of the RFC gateway [page 25].

2. You customize the SAP Optimizer destination entries [page 27].

3. You test the SCM Optimizer installation [page 27].

4. You check for patches and support packages [page 28].

5.2 Performing a Setup Check of the RFC Gateway

We recommend that you perform a setup check of the RFC gateway.

Procedure

1. If you use a standalone gateway instance, start the gateway instance.

2. Log on to the ABAP application server.

3. Call transaction SM59.The Display and maintain RFC destinations screen appears.

4. Open the node TCP/IP connection.

5. For the first optimizer server, you have to adapt the RFC entries that are existing in your system.

The RFC entries existing in your system might look as follows:

NOTE

You only have to adapt the entries that actually exist in your system, for example

OPTSERVER_CS01.

You do not have to add entries that are missing in your system as your system only requires

the entries that actually exist in your system.

For example, SAP TM systems might only have entries starting with “T” such as TVRG01.

EXAMPLE

■ OPTSERVER_CS01

■ OPTSERVER_CTM01

■ OPTSERVER_DPS01

■ OPTSERVER_MIP01

■ OPTSERVER_MMP01

■ OPTSERVER_SEQ01

■ OPTSERVER_TVSR01

■ OPTSERVER_TVSS01

NOTE

For any additional optimizer server, you have to create a new RFC entry (for example,

OPTSERVER_CTM02). Make sure that this new RFC entry ends with a two digit number that is

different from 01.

To adapt an RFC entry:

1. Double-click the destination name OPTSERVER_<Optimizer>01. The RFC Destination

OPTSERVER_<Optimizer>01 screen appears.

2. Depending on the server, you must do the following to check the RFC entries:
