Make SWPM 1.0 SP20 work for you
It has been a while since my first experience with the new web based SUM 1.0 SP14/15. Now we are at the same tipping point with SWPM 1.0 SP20.
When I start sapinst.exe as usual, I do not get the familiar fat client but the following message to connect with a web browser:
Which I do and is in fact very convenient. In my case, I just upgraded a Solution Manager to 7.2 and must perform a Dual-Stack Split:
The first improvement I realize is that warning messages do not appear a potentially overlooked pop-up windows any longer, but fully integrated into the user interface:
And then, like SUM, I got the full overview of my task list so that I know exactly where I am in the procedure:
Finally, of course, I got all my log files at hand:
Again, how cool is that?!
I do not get the Program Starter pop-up, instead it opens a web page with the URL. I can't login since I don't have the ID/password.
Hello Mary,
You have to login as the SIDadm user.

Even when logged on as SIDadm, I do not get the program starter pop-up.
On AIX when installing a new System there is only root user available in the beginning.
I used root and root password and it was fine.
Hello Team,
when i run SAPINST i am getting below error on Browser.could someone suggest here
Hello Sandeep,
This looks as if you have no HTTPS configured. In this case, please just use HTTP.
Best regards
Frank

when i try to do "fix connectio Problems" its giving me the remote device or resource wont accept the connection
hi do u got any solution

Hi Frank,
For login to GUI URL SIDADM &PWD it's working but i am getting the error while Export of java stack -
FYI-- this is in AIX environment.
could you please let me know SWPM SP20 is compatible or i have to go for lower version of SWPM (SP19 or SP18)?
thanks,
Regards,
Raj.
please let me know http port number
Hello,
Do you able to figure out whats the issue?
I don't remember exactly but there is one SAP note which discusses about the issue. And probably you need to import that into system too.
Hello,
we run the new sapinst on linux x86_64 SLES 12 and are wondering if it's necessary to start the process as root AND login as root in the browser too? This would be quite critical in terms of security.
SAP doesn't provide this info in their notes or installation guides. Has anyone experience in this environment and can answer our question? Thank you very much!
BR, Richard
Have the same issue as Raj
Raj, Were you able to find a workaround?
For a solution of the login as non root while starting SWPM as root issue please look at

My SAPINST does not even complete the initial steps. It just stops. Following are the only messages, after which the command prompt is returned. Any idea? Am i missing something during starup?

Hi,
Do you got the solution?
Not yet. Searching SAP notes as of now.
No luck. Also did not want to waste more time by reporting to OSS. I went ahead with the legacy GUI mode of SAPINST with the following command:
./sapinst SAPINST_SLP_MODE=false
Hi Anupom,
May b u need to download and uncar the latest patch level of sapinst and place it in SWPM directory and proceed with your task.

Hi there,
any information on the start parameter SAPINST_SET_STEPSTATE=true with the HTML-GUI? Does it work?

Hi Frank, I'm moving a SAP ECC 60 with a prohibited name "MAP", I tried the option SAPINST_STRICT_SID_CHECK=false as the note 2241431 tell me to do.
I'm using SWPM 1.0 SP20 and a tried the SP21 also.
Doesn't work, seems that sapinst wont recognize that option, and if I execute sapinst -p, I don't see the option SAPINST_STRICT_SID_CHECK in the list.
I missing something ?
Thank you in advance
Hi, I use SWPM SP22, but I already had the same problem with SP20. I can not select the Sapdata directory. I have already tested different browsers, unfortunately always the same result. Can the tablespace layout be adjusted in advance in a file?
Best regards
Michael
Did you ever resolve this? I am encountering the same issue.
I have the problem that I can't access SWPM via HTTPs as the port is blocked. Any idea how I can make SWPM work with HTTP?
Is there a possibility for a mail notifying? Like in SUM? I do many Export/Import of Oracle databases and the duration of the processing is about 10 hours. It would be very helpful to have a mail notifying here as well.
Any idea how to built this? Is there perhaps an explicit file set in a directory? If it exists in case of an error I could write my own alerting and check the existance of this file ....
Can any help to me !
I find distro of SWPM 1.0 SP 20 on Windows.
Anybody help ?
Please write me to me via Telegram ( @bdmalex ) ..
Best regards..
