Hi,

I want to install a SAP Enterprise Portal NetWeaver 7.0 SR 3 (SP14) with knowledge management on Windows 32 bit server. I allready tried the Rapid Instaler without success cause KM is not provided.

So I downloaded the BS 2005 SR3 Installation Master for Windows I386(BS_2005_SR3_SAP_Installation_Master, 51033511_11.ZIP) and the other necessary files (Kernel, Java, ...). I started the SAP-Installer (SAPInst.exe) from the Installation Master to install a new SAP System. But I don't find the correct installation service. Under the node "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3" there are only the following three services "Standalone engines", "Optional standalone units" and "Software life-cycle options". Where is the service to install a new SAP System (AS Java with usage type EP)?

Regards,

Marc

Under Standalone Engines are the following services:

- Content Server (MaxDB)

- Gateway

- liveCache

- Search and Classification (TREX)

- Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent

- Web Dispatcher

No SAP System installation service.

What about Software life-cycle options?

Software Life-Cycle Options consists of the following services:

- Additional Preparation Options (Creating OS users -> created, system checks -> everything is ok)

- Application Server (only dialog instances)

- Database Tools (IBM DB2)

- Java Add-In for ABAP (needs an existing ABAP System)

- LDAP Registration

- System Copy

- Post-Upgrade (for Cluster Systems)

- Uninstall

I installed the Rapid Installer twice (SR 2 and SR 3) and in both cases no kmc-packages were included. It seems the Rapid Installer for SR2 and SR3 install EP Core only (the Visual Composer is also not available.) Two years ago I installed a Rapid Installer for NetWeaver 2004s SP8 (wich is before SR 2) without any problems. The KM was available.

I also installed an IDES System and a Solution-Manager System without any problems (except the standard troubles during the installation process). But I don't get the clue in this one...

You can't install SR3 on 32 bit, try to read Instguide, or Note 1108852 - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 / Business Suite 2005 SR3: Windows

You can find 1000 post about this in the forum ....

I missed that one...

I read a document that says 32bit is not recommended or supported but still works for SP14. In addition the corresponding Rapid Installer works without problems on 32bit.

So what can I do now? Is it possible to add the usage type EP afterwards in order to get KM and VC functionality? Or do I have to upgrade to 64bit or downgrade to SR2? (Its just a test system.)

PS: I tried the forum search but - as allways - I used the wrong search words.

PPS: This allways happens when I use the SAP search...

Yes this forum has specific search, first of all try search in notes, after here ... You can install SR2 on 32 bit and after patch to equivalent SR3 and also up to SR3... You can read this solution in same note (check my post above), for testiong you can use 32 bit, but in any case if you can (your hardware support 64 bit OS) install 64 bit it's better. Regards.

Hi,

You dont have a seperate option like KM or collaboration

Once you install portal by usage type ep,epcore and all you will get this components by default in your portal system.

In fact portal has all these things. You can check it in http://ipaddress:5xx00/systeminfo

you will find the components sap.com KMC-BC,sap.com KMC-COLL,sap.com KMC-CM .
