Installing/Updating Under Microsoft
Windows 
Use
You
use the SDBINST program on the UNIX operating system to install or update a
chosen 
installation
profile of the SAP DB software. All necessary information is queried by
the program during the installation.
Before updating the database software, you must stop the program V Server. Note that by doing so, you interrupt the communication of clients to all local database instances.
The installation process is logged by the system.
Conventions
Prerequisites
· You have administration rights for your host.
· You have downloaded and unpacked the installation package (Downloading and Unpacking the Database Software Under Microsoft Windows).
Procedure
...
1. If you want to update an existing SAP DB installation
¡
Stop every
SAP DB database instance of all installed versions of SAP DB with the
following command:
dbmcli –d
<database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password>
db_offline
¡
Stop the
program V Server (service
XServer) with
the command:
x_server stop
For a new installation, begin with step 2.
2. Open the command prompt and navigate to the local directory that contains the installation files:
¡
For SAP DB
OLTP software
sapdb-<inst_profile>-win-<32|64>bit-<arch>-<version>,
¡
For liveCache
software
sapdb-apo<apo_version>_<livecache>-win-<32|64>bit-<arch>-<version>
3. Enter sdbinst, to call the installation/update program.
4.
The system
proposes the installation
profile that you selected for the installation. If the selected
installation profile (such as all) contains other
installation profiles, you can now select one of these installation profiles.
To do this, specify the relevant ID. Confirm your selection.
5. The system now checks whether there are SAP DB installations that can be updated on your host.
If this is the case, all existing installations are listed.
¡
If you want
to update an existing installation, enter its ID.
The system then updates the software that is stored under the <independent_data_path> and the <independent_program_path>. Depending on the selected
profile, the software under the <dependent_path> is updated if the
installation package contains newer versions of the files in the
directory.
¡ If you want to install new database software in parallel with an existing installation, enter none. You then have the option of specifying a new installation path. Define an installation path in parallel with the existing installation path.
If there are no SAP DB installations on your host, the SAP DB components contained in the installation profile are now installed. Depending on the installation profile that you have chosen, the system may prompt you to specify the following paths:
¡ Path for storing the data, configuration, and run directories of SAP DB database instances and SAP DB applications (the system default value is /var/opt/sapdb/indep_data)
¡ Path for storing the programs and libraries shared by the SAP DB database instances and SAP DB applications (the system default value is /opt/sapdb/indep_prog)
Enter the desired paths or confirm the system default values.
You see a success message about the installation.
6. If there was no SAP DB installation on your host until now, we recommend that you now shutdown and restart your host to make the <independent_program_path> known to the system.
This is not necessary if you are updating the database software.
Result
The new version of the selected installation profile of the SAP DB software is now installed and registered on your host. You can use the log to check that the installation ran correctly (Logging Under Microsoft Windows).
You can now create new database instances using the Database Manager
