Background Installations/Updates on Microsoft
Windows 
Use
You use the SDBINST program to install/update installation profiles or individual components of the database software on Microsoft Windows. All required information is specified on the command line, along with the command for starting the installation program.
You must stop the 
X Server program
before you update the database software. Remember that this interrupts
communication between the clients and all local database
instances.
Prerequisites
· You need to have administrator rights for your computer.
· You need to download and unpack the installation package (Unpacking the Software on Microsoft Windows).
Procedure
1. To update an existing installation of the database system or install a newer software version in parallel:
¡
Stop each individual database instance with the
command:
dbmcli –d
<database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password>
db_offline
¡
Stop the X Server program (Xserver service) with the command:
x_server
stop
In the case of an initial installation, start at step 2.
2.
Start the installation process for the OLTP
software with the following command:
sdbinst [-b] -profile
<inst_profile> [,<inst_profile2>...]| -package
<package_name>[,<package_name2>...] -indep_data
<independent_data_path> -indep_prog <independent_program_path>
-depend <dependent_path>
Start the installation process for the liveCache software (in SAP APO systems only) with the following command:
¡
For the APO liveCache installation
profile:
sdbinst [-b] -profile "APO
LiveCache" -indep_data <independent_data_path> -indep_prog
<independent_program_path> -depend <dependent_path>
¡
For the APO LC APPS software
component:
sdbinst [-b] -package "APO
LC APPS" -depend <dependent_path>
For an explanation of the options, see Overview of the Options for the SDBINST Program.
You must place any names of installation profiles and software components that contain blanks in double quotation marks.
For certain installation profiles or software components, you do not need to specify the options. If you do specify these options, the system ignores them. See the overview of options for more information.
You will receive a message informing you that the installation was successful.
Result
The software packages have been installed and registered. You can check the result of your installation in the log (Logging).
