Installing CPI_DS on Redhat Linux7. List of packages to be installed

[manmath_manjunatha2]

Hi,

We are installing CPI-DS agent on redhat linux 7.5 . Please could someone tell me what are the packages I need to install?

As per the guide I need to install X Window, OpenGL libraries, ibgtk-2_0-0 and KornShell.

However I need more details of the exact packages.

I checked the linux requirements in the link https://help.sap.com/doc/ec389f7fc3934ed4b9b63020d7ed2c51/4.2.3/en-US/46da59466e041014910aba7db0e910... and found the below.

yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686

yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.x86_x64

yum install glibc.i686

yum install libstdc++.i686

yum install libX11-1.3-2.el6.i686

But these are for Redhat 6. Could someone help with the similar packages for redhat 7.

Thanks

Manmath

This documentation link is for a totally different product by the way, I would not use that information for CPI-DS installation.

My Bad, I forgot to set the display and that is whay I got that error. Now after setting the display I am getting the below error

Launch SAP Data Services Agent install UI...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
no swt-gtk-3740 in java.library.path
no swt-gtk in java.library.path
Can't load library: /home/appl/sap/libswt-gtk-3740-64.so
Can't load library: /home/appl/sap/libswt-gtk-64.so

I know the library is missing but need help to understand where I can get the missing library. Surely I can find all the missing libraries in open source . But SAP is missing that in their documentation..... Is this like try the installer and applyu the missing libraries one by one everytime I get an error?

Hi Manmath Manjunatha

Did you find solution for no swt-gtk-3740 in java.library.path Issue.

Could you please update

This may be a better question for Red Hat forums, since the package names can vary and I'm sure some of these packages are built into the distribution already. I will take a stab at getting the right names you can install with yum:

• xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 (Xorg X server)
• gtk2.x86_64 (The GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating GUIs for X)
• mesa-libGLu.x86_64 (Mesa libGLU library)
• ksh.x86_64 (The Original ATT Korn Shell)

X, OpenGL, GTK, these are all used just to start up a GUI for the installer. So if you can ssh to the server and run 'xclock' then a clock appears on your remote display, I think you will be fine based on what's already installed. KornShell might already be on the system too, if something shows up in output from 'which ksh' you will be ok.

Best,

Thanks for your quick resposne. I did install all the packages

Now the installer aborts withs the below error after extracting the packages.

Launch SAP Data Services Agent install UI...
Exit: can not find xwindow handler

Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks

It means that X Window system is not configured properly or your $DISPLAY could not be reached or forwarded to, so the display could not open. This same problem should appear for any graphical application you try to run on the server, it is not specific to CPI-DS. This issue is definitely better for a Red Hat forum.

You can try to follow troubleshooting steps here https://aruljohn.com/info/x11forwarding/ (this is specifically for troubleshooting XMing with X), or if you have a Linux admin/expert at your business they will be of more help than SAP community.
