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 |
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.
