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 requires the user to understand and take 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 first determine any other components that you need to install in advance, and the order in which they are to be installed. The installation program terminates the installation as soon as it recognizes that a dependency has not been taken into account. For this reason, use this installation type in special cases only.

The database software is split into the following components:

Name

Description

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

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)

SQLDBC

Object-oriented C++ interface for accessing the MaxDB database system.

Database Kernel

Database kernel with runtime environment

DB Analyzer

Database Analyzer: Tool for analyzing database performance

JDBC

MaxDB JDBC driver for accessing the MaxDB database system

Loader

Loader: Tool for loading and unloading data

ODBC

ODBC driver for accessing the MaxDB database system

PCR<version>

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

Perl Interface

Perl interface

Python Interface

Python interface

Server Utilities

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

Web Tools

Web Server and web-based database tools (Web DBM, Web SQL Studio, WebDAV GUI)

XML Indexing Engine

XML Indexing Engine

Caution

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