Hi,
I am trying to install SAP Solution Manager on a distributed installation.
So, I installed ASCS on windows, and installing the database instanace on Suse, but during the abap stack import I keep getting files don't exist even though the files are there.
What logs should I provide that to help you guys understand the error.
Hi Jack,
Check latest error in import_monitor.log and import_monitor.java.log, maybe them will.refer to other logs.
Regards,
Ning

Hi,
I have checked but nothing useful, as a matter of fact I have uploaded the files here
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6UqEITRLZjYRDAwV2syNXJvUjA?usp=sharing
Hi,
I would like you to please have a check on the environment variable SAPSYSTEMNAME must set to <SID>.
So login in first as <SID>ADM and then create mentioned user variable.
So needed check saphostname and global name
A reboot might require.
Also do let us know the available space on that installation-disk-location as this import is the longest process among other process & it takes the space for that.
So also need to get a check on the Export CDs that were downloaded without any pause & not corrupted.
Similar reports in,
Thanks,

Hi Kaushik,
Thanks for your followup I believe ample information is in the logs that I have provided.
All the environment variables are set, also can be found in the logs.
This is the process that I am following,
Step 1
Installed HANA DB using root it is up and running fine,
Step 2
Downloaded all teh files using SAP DOWNLOAD MANAGER so the MD5 checksout and not once but twice I have downloaded.
Step 3
Started installation of solman 7.2 abap (both standard and distributed) all the times got error at Import Abap phase
As for space issue, I believe the logical error should be space issue or some error that is somewhat along that line, but it just says media is not available.
This is not my first time installing Solman (4, 7.1 sps 8 -14 experienced)
Best Regards,
Jackson
Hi Jackson
You'll find multiple threads on SCN on this error, please check those and see if you can resolve the issue that way:
One of those threads:
NWAS702 installation problem | SCN
Best regards

yes, but I faced other issues & just for information only I was just trying to help, that all. Here we are discussing your issue only & that is why we are trying to go to the root for you although we are personally not there available to check on the options. If we could have been there then, I guess We would have been able to go to the error by now.
I do not whether, you can get in there or not , but My SOLMAN 7.1 demonstration is available at
https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=448475708
The SOLMAN 7.2 will come soon.
Anyways Thanks for update,
Kaushik
As you know I do not take remote of external users without any cost involved. This is in the SCN where we go at max by discussing & giving solution for that. And I also do believe that you have opened for this same issue in the below threads,
If same matter, then also please do close/delete(better) those threads.
Thanks,
Kaushik
Hi,
I did not know that you charge a cost for take remote connection, anyways.
The other two threads have been opened even though for similar issue, I am trying to tackle them from another angle, like port opening if it is a distributed installation and the actual process of distributed installation for HANA setup, that is Suse and Windows, so don't bother about those for now.
Now, to the issue at hand, I just ran the pre-requisties check again, and all have passed with flying colors. Yet, have the above error, what else does an expert need other than the logs to find the root cause?
Hi Jackson
It doesn't matter that the installation is on SAP HANA. You're bumping into what is a basic error message thrown by the installer which has no relation to SAP HANA whatsoever.
The error message is also pretty clear so you should look into similar threads and by reading and checking those, you should be able to resolve the issue or at least discover the root cause I would think and push the needle that way.
Best regards
Tom
Hi Jackson
Sorry to say but threads which are the same or which are too similar are reported to the moderators and if they are duplicates, they will be closed down.
The root cause is stated in the logs, the installer cannot find or access that directory . I don't really believe it makes sense to search the logs for other errors at this point. Your installation fails because of the fact that he cannot find the media, that is clear.
So you can look for the root cause of the root cause now, the question is, why? Not enough rights? A different server and the location is not reachable (firewall issue or connectivity issue or the path is not understandable this way)? The files are no good or the folders are empty? Did you unpack the media or is it available in a packed state (just giving another example of something that could go wrong)? ...
The more information (detailed) you can provide, the better so I would suggest you start by giving as much details as you can. What did you check and try in the meantime?
Best regards
Tom
Hi Jack,
I would agree here with . That is what I was also trying to say Jack through the above comments above which I think you would have understood till now. In addition, I would also suggest you to go through the documents made keeping in mind about SOLMAN 7.2 by . This would really be helpful for you in future use.
Thanks,
Kaushik
The demonstration that you have given, it merely tells us that you have chosen the path for installation. Like you mention for Permissions, for a single folder I do not think that would be a problem here as you have downloaded & executed in this same system right? & the others like database client & server setup was taken clearly, if that permission matter then, they also would not have been taken for execution. My question here is why did not you keep in the installation directory & execute the sap-install here?
Relax . We here both know that he is getting issue just because he is not properly looking in depth of the issue or maybe he has pointed some errors but he is just not sure whether they are his actual issues or which issue to address 1st & that will resolve all other issues. We will give him his required time.
Thanks,
Kaushik
Its because , I have gone through all his contents because since morning till now @ evening WE are answering his reply & by then if he wanted exact solution he would have given proper info. He is performing this on testing mode installation, that means, he also is not maintaining any pre-measures for Failures. Like what would be next step if failed in those scenarios. His almost all cases are regarding this kind of test of SOLMAN & almost all of it looks the same issue in a way.
Sorry, My friends, if I hurt, but to me always A Fact is A Real Fact.
Thanks,
Kaushik
Hi,
Update: I have tried installing it again and once again same error,
some intresting topics that I found.
https://scn.sap.com/thread/3540346
java version
it only says exp4 alone doesn't exist just like the first link
Now you are talking in real regarding the installation. Now for this I can suggest you try after renaming the DATA_UNITS folder as DATA for all the export locations. I am recommending this as because there would not be any symbolic expression( _ ) within the software package path & the sapinst would be able to easily locate the required package because in some cases when it starts to look after the exact file, it would not be able to locate the proper file due to the path name Hirerchacy/confusion. I would also suggest that on this next try you also browse/select to the file LABAL.ASC when giving the path to the package components.
Thanks,
Kaushik
Did someone mention it or did you see that you can change the destination in a properties file in your installation directory? So you don't have to restart the installation to adjust the file location
The path could be an issue if that is also the case for the other paths, would be strange if those work fine and also have _ in them
This is the error that I am getting after removing the underscore ( _ )
I guess I have to do this?
https://scn.sap.com/thread/3310204
Is this likely a bug?
Following your pic only, in the path would be a sapinst.log, last installation, better just in the behind screen only the errors & reason are reflecting. search 1 by 1 errors in google 7 can get around
can take care of the control.xml too
Needed for you to 1st go through the installation guides.
Also some of the other solution also mentioned by our friends here, as,
Solution Manager 7.2 Information
Solution Manager 7.2 - Installation and Configuration - II - Configurations
Solution Manager 7.2 - Installation and Configuration - I - Installations
https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/preview/en/2351539
Better you can come up with the error no. 1 by 1 if not found any solution for that.
Thanks,
Kaushik
