Screen

Input

Welcome to SAP Installation Master

...

       1.      In the folder hierarchy, choose SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Release 2 ® Standalone Engines ® Search and Classification (TREX) ® TREX Global File System

You use this item to install a TREX global file system on a local host.

       2.      Choose Next.

The screen DVD/CD Browser > Software Package Request appears.

DVD/CD Browser > Software Package Request

...

       1.      Insert the CD containing the TREX installation files (Windows) or mount the CD (UNIX).

       2.      Package Location

Specify the path to the CD containing the TREX installation files.

Caution

During the TREX installation, which you perform as the root user (UNIX) or as a user with administration rights (Windows), the operating system user <SAPSID>adm is created. For all operating systems, make sure that the user <SAPSID>adm has at least read-access to the TREX installation CD. Otherwise, a Python error message can occur during installation.

If the user <SAPSID>adm user does not have at least read-access for the CD containing the TREX installation files, you can copy the CD to your local hard-drive. To do this, specify in CopyPackageTo the path to the directory to which you want to copy the files on the TREX installation CD.

       3.      Choose Next.

Parameter Mode > Default Settings

...

       1.      You can choose Parameter Mode: Typical or Custom.

Caution

Note that there is no difference between the parameter modes typical and custom if you are installing a TREX global file system! The installation screens and required input parameters during the SAPinst process are the same for both parameter modes. Therefore it makes no difference which parameter mode you choose on this screen.

       2.      Choose Next.

SAP System > General Parameters

SAP System Parameters  ® SAP System ID (SAPSID)

Enter an SAP system ID <SAPSID>.

The system ID consists of three characters and must begin with a capital letter, after that it can contain numbers.

 

Caution

When you choose a system ID <SAPSID>  for your TREX landscape, check which system IDs are already in use by other SAP applications on the same host where TREX will be installed. Do not use a system ID <SAPSID> that is already used for another SAP system landscape for your TREX installation and landscape. Otherwise an error message occurs.

SAP System > Master Passwords

...

       1.      Password for all users of this SAP system

       2.      Confirm.

Specifies one password for both for the SAP system administrator and SAP system service user.

The password is to be used for all accounts that SAPinst creates and for the secure store key phrase. The password has to be 8-14 characters long. Depending on your installation scenario, there might be more restrictions.

You can choose a different value for each password by choosing to edit the relevant parameter section on the Check Parameter screen. If you set already one password to a different value and change the Master Password in this dialog afterwards, the individually set passwords are NOT overwritten with the new master password.

SAP System > Windows Domain

...

Caution

This window and these entries are not required on UNIX.

       1.      In SAP System User Domain ® Domain Model, enter the Windows domain in which the user accounts have been created:

       Local Installation:

You choose this setting if you are installing the TREX global file system locally on a host.

       Installation in Domain for Current User

You choose this setting if you are installing the TREX global file system in the Windows domain of the current user.

       Installation in Different Domain

You choose this setting if you are installing the TREX global file system in a different Windows domain to that of the current user.
