File system
For /sapmnt/SES, we need 2 G ( after installtion we have 693MB Used) and for /usr/sap/SES we eneed 4GB (after installation we have about 1GB Used but size of this file system depends of number and size of created index.
For my test, I install it on virtual server on linux Red Hat 5.8 with 2 CPU and 12GB of RAM but there is a SAP ECC605 instance install on the same server .

Hi S Sriram
Thank you for your comment. If you really think it, click on like please 😉 .
Awesome and clear Doc mathieu.
I want to install TREX 7.10 for EHP1 for SAP Netweaver 7.0 portal .
Can you help me what version of SAPInst i need to download and path. Thanks in advance.
Hi Mathieu,
just two comments:
1) Starting TREX 710 REV 58 you can not use the sapinst anymore (in the REV 58 it's a part of the TREX installation SAR file yet ) . You need to take either SWPM instead , or just run the install.sh/install.cmd script as described in the installation guide.
2) When you setup the RFC connection you don't need to do any changes in the TREXDaemon.ini file !!! all necessary changes will be done by the TREXAdminTool automatically!
Regards,
Mikhail
Friends - I have installed TREX 7.1 for EP 7.0 . After connecting TREX to EP, I get error " No active HTTP server found".
One more thing. I didnt find any HTTP proxy setting while installing TREX using SWPM. Please advice.
Hi Sandeep,
1) Is this installation on Linux? What's the TREX version? Could you please check if the note 2032219 need to be applied in your case.
2) You can change the proxy settings in TREXPreprocessor.ini every time you want.

Awesome piece, well articulated.
Thank you Mr Mathieu
