2.5 Preparation

Media Download and extraction

Step

Action

Download SWPM tool

Download the latest SWPM tool.

Download Export and HANA Client DVD

Installations and Upgrades - S" SAP S/4HANA ON-PREMISE" SAP S/4HANA ON-PREMISE 1511

Download RDBMS DVD

Installations and Upgrades - H" SAP HANA PLATFORM EDITION" SAP HANA PLATFORM EDIT. 1.0

Extracting the media files:

Follow note 886535

Unrar is required for these other platforms (Linux, Solaris, AIX, Tru64, HP-UX).
The command:
                    unrar x <archiv-name(exe-file)>
triggers the unpacking process. The data is unpacked to the current directory. The command
                    unrar -h
displays further options.

There will be four files extracted (two exe and two .rar).

Do not create folder separately for the 4 files. Use the following command for the two .exe files one at a time (no need to run the .rar files) from the original path of the files. The .exe files will extract the corresponding .rar files and create the folder accordingly.

Set Environment varaiables from the same session where SWPM tool will be executed

export TEMP_DIR=/sapmnt/swpm_log/

export TEMP=/sapmnt/swpm_log/

export TMP=/sapmnt/swpm_log/

export TMP_DIR=/sapmnt/swpm_log/

Note : In order to save space in root the /tmp directory has been set in /sapmnt by setting the environment variables. The environment variables should be set from the same session from where the sapinst is executed.

OS settings

Follow SAP Note # 1824819 (Recommended OS setting).

Check for the file system.
