Hello Aher,

1. Are you using the latest version of SWPM for your NW release ?

2. You are running sapinst as 'root'

3. Please check your ulimits and post the values here (ulimit -a)

Hi,

Although below parameter seems to be related to Linux.May be you can give a try.

1680045 - Release Note for Software Provisioning Manager 1.0

------------------------< D022256, 20/AUG/13 >-------------------------

LinuxPPC only: Installation aborts with the error "stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 1280k"

When installation aborts with the error "stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 1280k", set the following parameter in /sapmnt/<SID>/profile/DEFAULT.PFL: "jstartup/native_stack_size=2097152". Afterwards, stop and restart the tool and then continue with the installation.

Thanks,

Mofizur
