HPUX 11iv3 - iaextract.c:417 error - installing SAP

[Alex_santa]

I am doing a SAP installation with the following configuration:

Integrity Server rx2660
HPUX 11iv3
SAP Netweaver 2004s SR2

When tried to install using the command
# sapinst

Received the this error: iaextract.c:417
then the installation process halts.

Does somebody know how to solve this problem?

Best Regards

There was nothing in that other thread?

Does /sapcd/im/im_hpux_ia64/sapinst exist?

since you didn't mention what file it didn't find (like the other poster did in the thread noted above) it difficult to say, but:

You're installing from CD/DVD?

Where is it mounted? it appears to need to be at /sapcd?

permissions on the mount pt?

can you locate the missing file on CD/DVD manually?

do the names look 'funny' (i.e. xxx;1) or similar?

Hi,
There are some parameters required before installation.
Please read the Pre-installation, insatallationa and Post installation Documents.
There are several thinks to take keep in mind.
1. you have to define Java_home
(when you type java -version then it sjould be show java version.
2. File system should be according to SAP Documents.
3. File should be support large files mean you have to ebable this option when you are creating file system - This option is there when we are creating File System- you have to clik on enable.

Some more parameters may be there.

Then you have to try install SAP.
In middle system will ask for Oracle, That time you have to install Oracle from another machine remotely(for that you can use XManager etc).

Hi All;

I have good news.

The problem is solved.

Some of the SAP files were corrupt!

It was possible beacause when copied those files from Windows to the HPUX server using
an application called FileZilla, something was wrong.

I tried using the original DVROM disk directly mounted in the Integrity Server an
the installation ran correctly.


Best Regards and thanks to all.
