The installation of this popular German software is a feat.<\/p>\n
History of attempts:<\/strong><\/span> 9\/4\/2013 9\/20\/2013 Installation Procedure (Based on this video<\/a>):<\/strong> (The video instruction is for a slightly different system and SAP version but it helps)<\/p>\n 1. Install Window Server 2008 x64 R2 Enterprise\u00a0with partitions: C (System - 50gb), E (Oracle - 10gb), F (SWAP - 26gb), G (SAPDATA - 390gb)<\/p>\n 2. Make use<\/a> of Swap drive: My Computer - properties- advanced - performance - advanced - virtual memory - uncheck automatically manage... - Select Swap drive - Customize size to 24000mb for initial and max size - set - Ok - Apply - restart system.<\/p>\n 3. Add loopback Network Adapter (necessary?): Device Manager - Right click on Computer name - Select Add Legacy Hardware - Install Hardware Manually - Choose Network Adapters - Wait to select Microsoft Loopback adapter from list.<\/p>\n 4. Assign IP for the loopback adapter (not the other network adapter): OK<\/p>\n 5. Copy\/unzip SAP files to G (SAPDATA) drive. Put them all in a single folder ie. \"SAP ECC 6\" for convenience. Particularly these files: 6. Install Oracle, 7. Oracle install menu: Uncheck \"Create Starter Database\", then select Advanced Installation > Enterprise Edition > Next ...> Install database Software only > (if the system verification show network failure because loopback adapter isn't found, just check the box anyway and pass, > Install.<\/p>\n 8. Install jdk. Download Java Platform JDK (I chose Windows x64 bit version). Install with all default settings.<\/p>\n 9. Define Environment Variables: My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Environment Variables. 10. Rename ext files: Move jar files (all files) in folder java sdk\\jre\\lib\\ext into NEW FOLDER (create that in the same ext. folder). Right-click and send to compressed zip format. Delete New Folder.<\/p>\n 11. Install SAP: Run 51037622\\IM_WINDOWS_X86_64\\sapinst.exea. Choose \"Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0\" > SAP ABAP > Oracle > Central System > Central System (select to highlight this). Next 12. Some error about TypeError: key_5, etc. I tried delete <\/a>the registry key: HEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE> ORACLE >\u00a0 DEINSTALL 13. I opted all oracle related items to E: drive (oracle's drive).<\/p>\n 14. When asked, browse for \\51036767_5\\...DATA_UNITS\\...UC-Kernel 7.01 Windows Server on x64 64bit 15. Next to all...when asked for Solution Manager Key<\/a>...a vbs script (posted in the comment section) can generate this, based on Database ID, system number and Host name. Save the script as *.vbs and run it.<\/p>\n 10\/16\/2013 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The installation of this popular German software is a feat.

\nI am attempting the installation on Windows 7 64bit. (Windows Server 2003 was almost successful but my 320GB Hard Drive is just not big enough) Should Windows 7 fail at supporting SAP ECC 6, I shall move back to Server 2003.<\/p>\n
\nLooks like Windows 7 x64-bit does not support Oracle's installation. I shall go back to using Windows Server 2003 then.<\/p>\n
\nUsing Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 Enterprise instead. 500GB Hard Drive. Sytem: Dell<\/p>\n

\n51031678<\/del> (actually, 51036975 <\/a>could be the right one, 51031678 seems to be the incompatible oracle installation folder)

\nUnder System Variables, add New and find and copy Java jdk program folder location into variable value. Variable name: JAVA_HOME
\nThen go a few lines down in System Variables and look for Path. Edit it by adding at the end: %JAVA_HOME%\\bin<\/p>\n
\nb. Custom mode
\nc. Enter any 3 letter ID. Password.
\nd. Domain Model: Local Installation.
\ne. Password confirmation. (I use the same for system admin and service user, passwords were already entered by installer)
\nf. Same 3 letter ID for the Database ID.
\ng. Ignore Operating System Version Condition not met. (My version SR2 Enterprise is higher) - Next - hit \"Cancel\" to Continue installation.
\nh. According the right column (Medium), browse for the right export # folder in \\51037623_#\\DATA_UNITS\\, then hit Next. Repeat the process until all files are located.<\/p>\n
\nThen the NetWeaver installation froze. I restarted the system.<\/p>\n
\nand for Oracle Client...\\51036972\\OCL_WINDOWS_X86_64\\LABEL.ASC<\/p>\n
\n16. Import ABAP causes error - checked log files - most sites suggest an increase of shared_pool or sga memory size. It took a while for me to find initTIM.ora, the config file, as I believe I was looking at the wrong config file (initdw.ora in the dbs folder, very confusing guides online) I am in the process of determining this.<\/em><\/p>\n
