You use the program SDBINST to install/update installation profiles or individual components of the database software on Microsoft Windows. You specify all required information on the command line, together with the command for starting the installation program.
You must stop the program X Server before you update the database software. Remember that this interrupts the communication between the clients and all local database instances.
· You have administrator rights for your server.
· You have downloaded and unpacked the installation package (Unpacking the Software on Microsoft Windows).
1. If you want to update an existing installation of the database system,
¡
Stop each
individual database instance with the command
dbmcli –d
<database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password>
db_offline
¡
Stop the X
Server program (
Xserverservice) with the command
x_server
stop
For a new installation, start at step 2.
2.
Start the
installation/update process for the OLTP software with the following
command:
sdbinst [-b] -profile
<inst_profile> [,<inst_profile2>...]| -package
<package_name>[,<package_name2>...] -indep_data
<independent_data_path> -indep_prog <independent_program_path>
-depend <dependent_path>
Start the installation/update process for the liveCache software (in SAP APO systems only) with the following command:
¡
For the installation
profile APO liveCache
sdbinst [-b] -profile
"APO LiveCache" -indep_data <independent_data_path> -indep_prog
<independent_program_path> -depend <dependent_path>
¡
For the software
component APO LC APPS
sdbinst [-b] -package
"APO LC APPS" -depend <dependent_path>
For an explanation of the options, see Overview of the Options for the Program SDBINST.
You must place any names of installation profiles and software components that contain blanks in double quotation marks.
For certain installation profiles or software components you do not need to specify the options –indep_prog, -indep_data, and –depend. If you do specify them, the system ignores them. See the overview of the options for more information.
You see a message about the successful completion of the installation.
The software packages are installed and registered. You can check the result of your installation in the log (Logging).
You can create new database instances with the Database Manager
(See:
· Creating or Initializing a Database Instance in Database Manager GUI
· Creating a Database Instance in Database Manager CLI
· or the Web DBM documentation.)
