Hello Guys,

The information provided here is not correct. SWPM has its own SAPJVM, which means you do not need to download the SAP JVM. During the installation SWPM installs the system with the SAP JVM already.

Regarding the version of the SAP JVM, it will depends the SAP system you are installing.

- System based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0x  = SAP JVM 4.1

- System based on SAP NetWeaver 7.1x  = SAP JVM 5.1

- System based on SAP NetWeaver 7.3x  = SAP JVM 6.1

In additional, you can find the Installation Guides for SWPM at:

http://www.service.sap.com/sltoolset ->

Software Logistics Toolset 1.0 ->

[Scroll down the page] Software Provisioning Manager ->

Installing Systems Based on NW 7.1 or Higher-SW Prov.Mgr.1.0

Also please remember checking SAP note #1680045 for further reference regarding the SWPM and also the Kernel media you have to use during the installation.

Thanks & Regards

Dear

we are using SWPM in replacement of Installation master in the version higher then Netweaver 7.0 SR3(SP14)..


Since , we cannot find the SAP Installation Master for our SAP Product based on SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 (SP14) or greater.

we would have to go with the SWPM-->

Advantages:-

The advantage of this is that we can now update the software provisioning manager and associated control files independently of the media release cycles.

For you, this means it is no longer required that you patch the Installation Master media with the latest SAPinst as you had to in the past nor do you have to update / modify the control files either as would often have been required prior to installation. In fact the Installation Master media have been retired for all releases as of SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3.

The only requirement now is that you ensure that you always use the latest release of the software provisioning manager with respect to the Release, SP and Patch Level.

The software provisioning manager is available in two options.

  1. SWPM*.SAR: For SAP Netweaver 7.30 or greater based SAP systems.
  2. 70SWPM*.SAR: For SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 or greater based SAP systems including all Enhancement Packages, such as SAP Solution Manager 7.1 which is based  on SAP Netweaver 7.0 EHP 2.

In order to avoid confusion for you the customer we still refer to the software provisioning manager as SAPinst in documentation. The SAPinst command line switches have not been depreciated or modified in any manner such as the USE_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAME switch and in addition the software provisioning manger will refer to itself as SAPinst in all GUI screens that you encounter.
