Installing SAP xMII: Upgrading from an AS Version

Related Topics

Note: If you are upgrading from an ISAPI version, see Installing SAP xMII: Upgrading from an ISAPI Version. If you are installing SAP xMII for the first time, see Installing SAP xMII.

Note:  If an error occurs during installation, review the install logs for more information.

  1. Make sure you are logged on to the server machine using an Administrator account.

  2. If you are running Windows NT, stop the Web server and IIS via the Control Panel Services applet.
    OR
    If you are running Windows 2000 or Windows 2003, stop the Web server and IIS via Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Services by stopping the IIS Admin Service.

    This process automatically stops dependent services such as the World Wide Web Publishing service, FTP service, and SMTP service.

  3. If you have CD media, insert the SAP xMII CD into your CD-ROM drive.
    Auto-run opens the SAP xMII Installation page in your default browser.
    OR
    If you downloaded the software from the SAP Service Marketplace, extract the downloaded archive to a local directory and then open the xMIIInstall.htm page in the chosen directory.

Note: If you are using a CD and auto-run fails, you can open the xMIIInstall.htm page from the CD root. A link to the Sun Java 2 SDK installation is also available on this page. Once the JSDK is installed, you can run SETUP.EXE directly from the installation folder.

  1. If you already installed the Sun JSDK 1.4.2_07 on the server, continue to step 5.
    If a prior version of the Sun JDK or JRE is installed, uninstall the JDK/JRE and all references to Sun Java products including the following:

    Then install the Sun JSDK 1.4.2_07.

    If the Sun JSDK 1.4.2_07 is not installed, download the JSDK from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_07/index.html. Click Download J2SDK, save the file to disk, and run the setup from the local disk.

  1. Select the SAP xMII 11.5 installation link.
    The InstallShield Wizard for SAP xMII screen appears.

      1. If you did not stop the IIS services, a dialog appears. Click Yes to stop the service.
        Another dialog appears.

      2. Click OK to acknowledge that the IIS services were stopped successfully.

  1. The Welcome screen for the InstallShield Wizard appears. Click Next.

Note: You may click Cancel at any time to stop the installation.

  1. The License Agreement window appears. Read the license agreement carefully.
    Click Yes to accept the agreement and continue the installation.
    OR
    If you do not accept the license agreement, click No. The setup stops and InstallShield Wizard closes.

  2. Enter the fully qualified machine name (for example, MACHINE_NAME.Domain.com) of the machine on which you are installing SAP xMII. The fully qualified machine name is required to identify the location of the security server in a multiple domain and/or third-party single sign-on scenario. If you are not implementing across domains or using third-party single sign-on, the machine name (without the domain name) is sufficient.

Note:  If SAP xMII is run on a port other than port 80, you must add the port number to the machine name in the SAP Install window.



The installation begins copying files and installing. If an error occurs, the InstallShield stops and the setup does not continue. This process may take several minutes.

  1. A Question dialog appears. Click Yes to run the version 11.5 migration tool. The migration tool upgrades your system configurations from your previous version to the current version. If you click No, you can run the migration from the Start menu after the installation.

  2. The SAP xMII 11.5 Migration screen appears.

    1. Click OK to run the system migration.

    2. When the migration is complete, click Cancel.

  3. After the installation is complete but before using SAP xMII, stop the IIS Admin Service and then restart the IIS Admin Service and the World Wide Web Publishing Service.

  1. Before accessing SAP xMII you also need to set up your license.

    1. Copy your lhcms.lic license file to the C:\Lighthammer\License directory.

    2. Restart your ServletExec-{InstanceName} (default name is ServletExec-LHCMS) NT service in the Windows Services screen.

Note: It usually takes several minutes to restart the application instance; you are not able to access the application until it is finished.

  1. The SAP xMII installation is complete. Click Finish to close the InstallShield Wizard.

  2. See the SAP xMII Installation Guide for additional installation options.
