 Software Components 

Use

You install installation packages that contain only individual components of the database software. You can do this to install missing components without updating components that you do not need.

The installation of software components is more complex than the installation of installation profiles, and demands that the user understands and takes into account the dependencies determined by the content or versions of the software.

Since this installation is not interactive and can run in the background only, you must in advance determine any other components you need to install first, and in which order. The installation program terminates the installation as soon as it recognizes that a dependency has been ignored. For this reason, use this installation type in special cases only.

The database software is split into the following components:

Name

Description

Base

Programs for registering the installation, uninstallation tool, InstallRegistryViewer, and programs that the SAP application server needs to access the database system (including XUSER and SQLCLI)

PCR<version>

Precompiler Runtime Package
Contains runtime libraries for applications created with the C/C++ Precompiler for Embedded SQL
Can exist in multiple versions in the local installation directory

Server Utilities

Tools for the administration of the database kernel (including Database Manager CLI, XPU and XCONS)

Database Kernel

Database kernel with runtime environment

CPC Base

C++ Precompiler base (call programs for the precompiler)

CPC SDK <version>

C++ Precompiler

ODBC

ODBC driver

DB Analyzer

Database Analyzer: Tool for analyzing database performance

Web Tools

Web Server and Web-based database tools (WebDBM, WebSQL, WebDAV)

Python Interface

Python interface

Perl Interface

Perl interface

XML Indexing Engine

XML Indexing Engine; can be installed on a computer other than the database host to improve performance

Loader

Loader: tool for loading and unloading data

JDBC

MaxDB JDBC driver for accessing the MaxDB database system

APO LC APPS (from APO Version 4.0) or APO COM

For SAP liveCache in the SAP APO system only: Libraries with APO liveCache routines

You must place any names of software components that contain blanks in double quotation marks.
