AS ABAP Dev edition 7.52 SP04 error: Invalid profile parameter dbms/type

[Flavio]

Hi,

while installing, the following error appears:

Do you have any idea how to fix it?

Thanks and ciao,

Hi,

did you run with the correct user, with the correct shell ?

it looks like a path of library is missing in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This could be just an error of user.

[FredericGirod]

could you run the command set | more to check if the variables are set

(or echo $dbms_type for the specified parameter)

[Flavio]

Hi Frederic,

thanks for the comments;

user is root during install, as stated in the blog

the dbms_type variable is not set, nor echoed. However, the sapinst.txt file seems containing it:

storageBasedCopy.dbType=syb

and I can see it set in the big log sapinst_dev.log file :

dbms/type = syb
dbs/syb/schema = SAPSR3
dbs/syb/server = vhcalnplci
dbs/syb/dbname = NPL

anyway, the same log file reports:

How could I set it?

Thanks again and best regards,

Flavio

The environment variable depend of your Linux distribution & on your shell script.

Could you check: echo $SHELL

There is something really strange with your installation, maybe it is better to restart from the beggining slowly, following strictly the newbie guide

[Flavio]

Eventually succeeding with the AS ABAP 7.52 SP04 Developer Edition install: needed to go back to openSUSE Leap 42.3, instead of installing on Leap 15.1.

Thanks and best regards,

Flavio
