Problem running sapinst to export a DB2 database

[Former Member]

I have the following setup

DB is DB2 running on Z/OS

central instance is running on a virtual Linux server

When I run sapinst from the LINUX app server I get a failure after I specify the Kernel CD.

1. tail sapinst.log*

ERROR 2009-05-14 16:33:05

Help please

Hi Paul,

is the file db2radm available? What does a

1. ls -l /export/sapinst/sapinst_instdir/NW04S/LM/COPY/DB2/EXP/CENTRAL/AS/EXP/db2radm

print to stdout?

Joerg,

If I understand you correctly you want to see this

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sapinst 3581601 Aug 31 2006 db2radm

Looking at the problem again I suspect the -o option is trying to create a file and that is where the permission denied comes from. I have changed everything to 777 and I'm about to try again.

Regards,

Paul

Joerg,

After changing all the permissions to 777 it now works.

Don't you just love SAP

Thanks for your help
