Background Installations/Updates on Microsoft
Windows 
Use
You are using the program SDBINST to install or update installation profiles or individual components of the SAP DB software on Microsoft Windows. You specify all required information on the command line, together with the command for starting the installation program.
You must stop the program V Server before you update the database software. Remember that this interrupts the communication between the clients and all local database instances.
