problem during installation DB instance on SAP ERP 2005

[Luca Sozio]

Good evening.
I'm tryng to install a SAP ERP system with MAXDB on a centOS Linux
distribution.

During SAP ERP2005 installation process, I received the following error:

Execute Command : /sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -n sapserver -d MDB -u
CONTROL,********
Start subprocess as user with uid: root
Execute Session Command : util_connect
Execute Session Command : db_activate SUPERDBA,********
Execute Session Command : exit

Subprocess stops at 20070210161610

OK
OK

Subprocess starts at 20070210161611

Execute Command : /sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -n sapserver -d MDB -u
CONTROL,******** load_syst
ab -u SUPERDBA,******** -ud ********
Start subprocess as user with uid: root

Subprocess stops at 20070210161612

ERR
-24964,ERR_EXECUTE: error in program execution
1,can not generate temporary file name


How can I fix this problem? It's the first time that I install a SAP System

Thanks in advance.
Regards

What´s the content of the TEMP variable for user root? Try to set it to
somewhere if it is not an re-execute sapinst.

Good evening,
.
I've tried the solutiuon suggested but without result.
export TEMP=/tmp

Same error during sap installation process.

Subprocess starts at 20070210161611

Execute Command : /sapdb/programs/bin/dbmcli -n sapserver -d MDB -u
CONTROL,******** load_syst
ab -u SUPERDBA,******** -ud ********
Start subprocess as user with uid: root

Subprocess stops at 20070210161612

ERR
-24964,ERR_EXECUTE: error in program execution
1,can not generate temporary file name

I've a look /sapdb/data/wrk/MDB/knldiag (in attachment), to check errors
but no error found, only a couple of warnings.

Regards.

CentOS is an (officially) unsupported distribution for ERP 2005.

It can be difficult if not impossible to get the system up and running there
because all the binaries are built using SuSE Linux Enterprise Server. SAP
makes sure, they are compatible between SuSE and Redhat but they can't test
all other distributions.

Maybe someone from the development has an idea what may be cause for this
and if the system is really trying to "write to a file" or if that error is
just a follow-up on a different error.

Do you have a chance to test SuSE SLES 9/10 or Redhat AS 4.0? (not Fedora)?

Hey Luca,

ERP installation is on italian university.We faced lots of
problem (above all financial problem) so we need to use a
open source solution (if it's possible).

I see - ok...

I know that SLES and Red Hat are support officially form SAP,
but I know also that CentOS 4.0 is a clone of RHAS 4.0
In fact the prerequisite checker ( a SAP tool to verify the
system before launch installation)
marks only two warnings: (kernel version we have and glibc
package) not errors. See attachments

Those are the most critical parts of the Linux distribution ;) For SAP
systems one may only use very specific versions of kernel and glibc.

Have you read log file that i've attached in my previous mail?

There was nothing attached, apparently the mailinglist does not send
attachments through.

Send them via PM, I'll have a look at it.
