Posted on


While starting the SWPM tool for a system installation I came across this message:

./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=hostname
[==============================] - extracting... done!

sapinst was hanging here without starting the GUI window

It looks like starting with SWPM PL 19, the installer can start now in two ways:

– new web browser based, the link where this can be accessed appears in the sapinst log
– or the classic Java GUI based. This is not available by default anymore, in order to access this in the old way, you have to use sapinst with the command line option SAPINST_SLP_MODE=false

Example:

./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=hostname SAPINST_SLP_MODE=false
