SAP WEB AS 6.20 unicode installation question

[Former Member]

I am trying to install SAP WEB AS 6.2 unicode version on SAPDB 7.3 on windows 2000 . I get the following error when i try to install the database instance after the succesfully installing the Central instance.

ERROR 2004-10-11 22:22:52

FJS-00012 Error when executing script.

When I checked, there is no directory 'C:\sapdb\programs\' created at all.

The XMOD.log file says

Execute Command : c:\sapdb\indep_prog/pgm/dbmcli.exe -d <SID> dbm_version INSTROOT

Execute Session Command : exit

Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database <SID>: dbmsrv not found

What does this mean and what do I have to do to correct it ?

Hello Venkatesh,

could you please tell me which exact SAP DB version you want to install? That's important in this case, because within version 7.3 there's a switch (from a certain Build level) of the SAP DB Installer (used by the sdbinst program).

Additionally, please send me installation protocol of sdbinst, located in the directory C:\sapdb\data\wrk. The name of the file will look something like this:

SAPDB<Installationtype>-<Date>-Time.log

Kind regards,

Roland

Hi Roland,

Do You feel the process I followed was OK. Because my system is up & running.

Hello Sanujit,

I can't tell for certain, because I'd need to see the situation beforehand. at the moment I haven't got a clear picture where the installation might have gone wrong.

From one standpoint ofcourse, if your system is up & running, than I suppose that's fine, but we'd like to find out what the cause of the problem is, in able to fix it so it won't show.

Thanks for your input & regards,

Roland

Hi Venkatesh,

I faced the same problem as yours, and searched on the net for a solution, but able to land on your problem. Anyway I found a solution, which i don't now is a right one or not. I created a directory "programs" in the specified location and copied the contains of "indep_prog" (SAPDB Files) on to the same and gone for retry and it works. Hope this will help you, and in between if you have found some other solution do post it to me.

Thanks & Regards,

Sanujit
