I have the same system configuration. The installation took around 4 hrs for me.

So I think you should stop, uninstall and try it again. I did the same few times.

Hi,

Juts check you Task Manager process.If there is any change in CPU Usage or not.I woul dsuggest if you have installed and antivirus plz remove it and then try with the installtion again.

hello,

please go to inner directory under sapinst_instdir and sort files as a modified date. ıs there any file that was changed in a few minutes? There must be a log file that is change, frequently.

If possible, send last part of this log.

regards,

yes you are right there must be some log file with recent time stamp. but i do not see any file with time stamp recent

i do not know what happens when it come to the point IMPORT JAVA DUMP. Can you tell me this phase how much time it takes. system does not give any errors.

thanks

hi prasad

thanks for your reply

i was checking cpu consumptions in the task manager all time during the installation at the begining from phase 1 to 19 it usese 60 % or 70% cpu when it starts phase 20 IMPORT JAVA DUMP cpu consumption stays the same for few minutes then it reduces to 4% to 5%, But i does not give any errors. even i tried last night again and today morning i found the same thing some how it gets stuck at import java dump. what should i do ? please help or give me the steps to follow the way you guys have installed?

hello,

please check your database site. during import, sapinst must create database objects (tables, indexes) and insert rows to these objects. if your installation continues, also you can see detailed info about newly created database objects. if there is a problem related to database, also there must be an entry for error.

there is not a specific duration for installation. it depends on your system resources, especially ram of server.

but, you are right, your installations' duration is very long.

there must be files like *.TSK which includes data that will be imported. please check files with name .TSK

thanks for quick reply

i will check for file *.TSK could you please tell me which directory i should look for? also it is maxdb database so i am new to maxdb so can you please tell me or show me the way to check for some tables or data being inserted . It is creating database instance and database , infact it creates SAPMMC but since central instance has to be created first to see the whole system in sapMMc so it does not have anything.

thanks

as far as system resources are concerned

i have following

intel core 2 dual processors with 1.8 Gh with 2 GB ram and 150 GB hard drive, during the installation i do not use the system for anyother purpose.

regards

you can search tsk files under sapinst_instdir

you can find detailed info about maxdb and log files under

i think, the reason of this long runtime is ram

there must be at least 4 gb of ram for java systems

otherwise, performans will always be a problem

thanks

it looks long manual to go through but i do not have choice

but thanks for your time it seems it should work the way you said.

regards

i checked in the task manager and the amount of RAM usage is 57% during the installation and there is no other activity going on apart from installation so i still have 43% ram available. I do not know ram is the problem, do you think by increasing the memory this should work? even if it is ram problem it should atleast give me the errors or warning, but it does not give anything which is bizzare.

Hi,

Stupid question but have you used any funny characters in any of your passwords? Like @ or ! for example?

I had a problem a few years ago where I had done something similar and it just sat running for nearly 2 days before I killed the install. I cleaned everything down and tried it again with a more normal password and it worked in a few hours.

Oh, and 2Gb of RAM should be fine for the install.

Gareth.

thanks

but i has used training1 as the password and i guess which is valid as it creates database schemas , os users and then it starts the import java dump

i have no idea what's going on as it does not return any errors

how to find out as your system is waiting on something, in my case either it is pretty slow which i believe not possible as i have faster ram with powerful hardware or waiting on something from system or user, but system does not say anything, how to find out?

Hi,

ONe more check which we can have is that which version of JAVA SDK you are using? Please use j2sdk-1_4_2_13 or above and then try.
