Variables

Prerequisites

·        You have administration rights for your host.

·        You have downloaded and unpacked the installation package (see Downloading and Unpacking the Software on Microsoft Windows).

Procedure

...

       1.      Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the local directory that contains the installation files:
sapdb-all-win-<32|64>bit-<arch>-<version>

       2.      Enter sdbinst to call the installation program.

       3.      The system proposes the installation profile all. Confirm this installation profile.

       4.      The system now checks whether there are SAP DB installations already on your server.

¡        If SAP DB installations already exist on your server, a list of these installations is displayed.
If you want to install new database software in parallel with the existing installation, enter none. You then have the option of specifying a new installation path. Define an installation path in parallel with the existing installation paths.

¡        If there are no SAP DB installations on your host, the SAP DB components contained in the installation profile are now installed. Depending on the installation profile that you have chosen, the system may prompt you to specify the following paths:

§         Path for storing the data, configurations, and run directories of SAP DB database instances and SAP DB applications (the system default value is C:\Program Files\sapdb\indep_data)

§         Path for storing the programs and libraries used in common by the SAP DB database instances and SAP DB applications (the system default value is C:\Program Files\sapdb\indep_prog)

§         Path for storing the server software that depends on the database version
This path must be unique.
Multiple directories with different versions can exist alongside each other (the system default value is C:\Program Files\sapdb\depend)

Enter your chosen paths or confirm the system default values.

You see a success message about the installation.

       5.      If there was no SAP DB installation on your host until now, we recommend that you now shutdown and restart your host to make the <independent_program_path> known to the system.

Result

The installation profile all of the SAP DB software is now installed and registered on your host. You can use the log to check the result of the installation (Logging on Microsoft Windows).
