Preview installation - error during installation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I get the following connection error at the 'Import ABAP' step :

<b>

sapparam: sapargv( argc, argv) has not been called.

sapparam(1c): No Profile used.

sapparam: SAPSYSTEMNAME neither in Profile nor in Commandline

I have tried re-installing, changing directory names, etc. but with no luck - does any one have an idea what I'm missing ?

Thanks

I got the same error few hours ago...

I restarted the machine and manually started the SAPDB : NSP service before Restarting the failed installation.

Right now R3Load is running and I guess I have passed the error.

I am not sure why SAPDB : NSP did not start on it's own during earlier phases.

Hope this helps.

Hi Devendra,

Thanks, I lookd but mine is running - I think I will try and re-install the DB into a subdir and see what happens

Thanks

I had underscores ( _ ) in my computer name. After removing the underscores by renaming the computer, I reinstalled again. This time the import step continued successfully.

If you also have underscores in your computer name, please remove them by renaming and try to re install again.

Thanks,

Srinivasa.
