Sapinst wont execute

[bharathyp]

Hi,

I am trying to perform system refresh

My landscape is like this

I am using Oracle on AIX 6.1 and SAP installed on Windows Server 2003, so yes it is a distributed setup.

My SAP is ECC 6.0 sr3 NO EHP has been applied so far.

Kernel level is 720

Sup.Pkg is 500

Oracle is 11.2.0.3

I have downloaded the latest SWPM which is this file

70SWPM10SP06_3-20009697.sar for AIX OS

and I am trying to execute it using reflection x and it simply says cannot execute and nothing else.

What am I missing?

I have previously perfomed the same to do hetrogenous copy just a couple of months back and it opened up with out any problem.

Hi Jack,

Since you are running this from PUTTY, you make have to use X-TERM services for getting the gui.

Also, check for the permissions on sapinst. make it 777.

Also one other thing guys, I am just doing my quaterly system refresh , this is my first time doing it, the previous guy is on emergency leave.

For my landscape how can I get system refresh done? Tks!

Hi Jack,

Refer:

Now, system refresh is just like system copy, where the target system already exist.

Have a look at this thread. Hope that will be a starting point to help you understand the process.

Perhaps, you must be following some strategy to do a system refresh. Ask that guy for some documents and method used.

[bharathyp]

he briefly told me to copy over oracle data files and change control file I was a bit skeptical at first...

[bharathyp]

That is for MSSQL is there anything specific for AIX and ORACLE system refresh?

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

Yes, you can get guide from SMP for your OS and DB for system copy.

Hi,

If possible try to use x-manager for the execution instead of putty.

Hi Jack,

Could you try to execute the SWPM without using reflection x and share the result again.

Hi,

Still the same

[former_member182657]

Hi,

Share the results for following :

1. file ./sapinst

2.uname -a

3.file /bin/ls

Hi Jack,

Can you change the shell from ksh to csh and then try executing sapinst.
