How to Install NW7.0 EHP1 - BI Dual Stack System (Workaround) Monday, January 18, 2010

Hi All,

I came to know new interesting point regarding SAP 7.0 EHP1 that in standard sapinst there is no option to install SAP BI with dual stack ..So its little bit tricky to install it and SAP Has given workaround solution for this .Three possible solutions are:

1) Make a system copy from exising DUAL stack system SAPINST with SR3.
2) Install SAP BI SR3 and then upgrade to EHP1
3) And last one update usages_data.xml
from service market

So best option i can see is just repalce usages_data.xml
with exising but

If you use this procedure for a new BI dual stack installation, you accept possible future migration effort to split the dual stack into two single stack systems (ABAP and Java).

to get the latest usages_data.xml you need to go through NOTE#1181025, download the file and Replace file \NW701\WEBAS\\PD\usages_data.xml and \NW701\WEBAS\\HA\usages_data.xml with the attached usages_data.txt file (Causion: you need to change the file extension from txt to xml).

After this Start SAPinst

On the Welcome screen, choose SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1 -> SAP Application Server Java -> -> Central System

On screen "SAP System > Software Units" you can select AS ABAP in addition to the available Java usage types or software units.

Follow the instructions on the SAPinst screens.

Hope it will clear, Still have Doubt???
