SAP Solution Manager 7.2 installation fails: icm_filter_rules.txt does not exist

[christoph_volkert]

I try to install SAP Solution Manager 7.2 as a new system on a Linux VM.

The installation of the ABAP part is already done, when installing the JAVA part, it brakes at 68% with the following sapinst-ERROR:

I have tried the Installation from a remote Browser and also from a local browser.

I have solved the problem by just copying the installation archives from my (Windows) NAS to the Linux Server itself and unpack them on the server itself instead of unpacking on the NAS and then copying to the Server.

It seems that there are problems with big archives (JAVA DUmp) which are copied over the network.

Hower, even if i had never problems with installing directly from network drives, this seems not true if there are large Dump-files included. This was the second time that i had crazy errors when trying this.
