Installing Application Server on a Microsoft Windows Server

Use

You can install Application Server on a Microsoft Windows server and install the required supporting files at the same time. The supporting files required for the strategy management application are bootstrap.zip and import.zip.

Prerequisites

You are logged into the Microsoft Windows server with a user and password that has administrative privileges on the server.

Procedure

  1. From the installation location, run the xSSMSrv<sp>_<patch>-<smp-id>.exe file.

  2. In the first screen, click Next.

  3. In the next screen, select Strategy Management Server Components and click Next.

  4. In the path screen, click Next to accept the default path. To browse for a different location, click Browse.

    The default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Strategy Management.

    For information about supported Windows servers, see the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) http://support.sap.com/pamInformation published on SAP site. In the Strategy Management PAM, choose Operating Systems, and then choose Application Server.

  5. In the final screen, click Done.

  6. Copy either the import.zip file or the bootstrap.zip file from the \SAP Strategy Management\InternetPub\conf directory to the \server0\temp\SSM\import directory on the SAP NetWeaver server. In a default installation, the full path is \usr\sap\SID\J00\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\SSM\import.

  7. If you installed Application Server on a Windows server 2008 R2 system, modify the security settings of the \data and \home directories to allow Users full control.

  8. If your NetWeaver system database is something other than Max DB, copy the procedures from the corresponding <sysdb>_procs directory to the procs directory. See the topic “Copying Files From the \Procs Directory” in the Server Upgrade Guide - Upgrading from the 10 Series to 10.1 for details.

The SAP SM Listener service is started by default. This service listens for WINSOCK TCP/IP Application Server client connections. The service validates the user's rights to log on to the server and start the data communication process.
