Configuration - IS8.0.1 - Pack SAP 6.0.0

I would recommend using the GUI install on AIX. Here is website on setting up a x-windows client on Windows that I used - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-Uwininstall.html

A) Install the SAP Pack on the server - Review the readme file that comes with the SAP Pack installation

SAP RFC Libraries

You Also need the SAP RFC Libraries from SAP Service Market Place. Instructions on getting the SAP Libraries is in the "Install the SAP Pack on the server" section below.

Download SAP RFC Libraries

You get the RFC Libraries from the SAP Service Market Place - https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/swdc (You need a SAP OSS ID to access this site).
Goto : SAP Software Distribution Center -> Download -> Support Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group

For AIX we required the 6.40 RFC SDK Kit. The 32 Bit Non-Unicode & 64 Bit Unicode libraries (review the readme file for changes).

Look Under:

SAP NetWeaver
-> Technology components releases prior to SAP NetWeaver
-> SAP WEB AS
-> SAP WEB AS 6.40
-> SAP RFC SDK 6.40
-> AIX 32bit

SAP NetWeaver
-> Technology components releases prior to SAP NetWeaver
-> SAP WEB AS
-> SAP WEB AS 6.40
-> SAP RFC SDK 6.40 UNICODE
-> AIX 64bit

Yes, the SAP Pack Readme file states to use the 32 bit Non-Unicode libraries, and the 64 Bit Unicode libraries. The Readme file also states that for AIX, the 6.4 libraries are required, and not the 7.0 libraries. Refer to the readme file with your SAP Pack for updates.


You will need the RFC Package for both Unicode & Non-Unicode. The SAP Pack Readme mentions which versions are supported on which OS systems. You can review SAP Note 413708 for the 6.40 libraries or 27517 for the 7.0 libraries if the path above doesn't get you to the SAP RFC Files.

You will also need the SAPCAR program from SAP to unpack the RFC files you downloaded.

At the time I wrote this instructions, the SAP RFC SDK AIX 64 Bit was blank on SAP Service Market Place. I had to search for RFC SDK to find it. The files I downloaded were:

AIX 32 Bit SDK RFC_34-20000048.SAR
AIX 64 Bit Unicode SDK RFC_38-20000063.SAR
SAPCAR SAPCAR_4-20000226.EXE

With all 3 files on your system, you can use the command ./SAPCAR_4-20000226.EXE -xvf <*.sar filename> to unpack the .sar files from SAP (you can rename the SAPCAR_4-20000226.EXE file to be sapcar if you wish).

You will need these library files to copy to the server directories. The client will need simular files, but usually gets them by having the SAP Gui installed on the client.


Installing the SAP Pack

Copy the SAP RFC Files to DataStage lib

login as dsadm:
Once complete copy your Lib RFC files to /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/lib
For AIX -
Non unicode
librfccm.o
Unicode
libicudata26.so
libicui18n26.so
libicuuc26.so
librfcum.o
libsapu16_mt.so
libsapucum.so

Note: There is an error in the readme file, and the files for Solaris and AIX are reversed.

The files will be in the lib folder where you unpacked the *.sar files downloaded from SAP Service Market Place. You must install both the Non-Unicode & Unicode files, even if you don't plan on using them both. If you get an error writing to /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/lib, make sure your logged in as dsadm. Also double check the permissions on the files in the /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/lib, I had to do a chmod 755 on the files on my AIX installs.

Start the Install
To start the SAP Pack install, you need to be logged on as root.
Goto the /server/disk1 folder of where you unpacked the SAP Pack Download and execute ./install.bin if doing graphical mode install, or ./install.bin -console if doing console mode.
(or ./install.exe if windows server) from the folder /server/disk1 where you unpaked the file.
As of SAP Pack 5.3.1, there was a bug installing in Console mode (The Pack never asks you for your Suite Admin information). For the time being run the install via the GUI.
====================== INSTALLATION COMPLETE==================

=== POST INSTALLATION STEPS ====

Almost done.. With the Lib Files in place, edit your dsenv file
Prerequisite: A successful installation of WebSphere DataStage Pack on UNIX/Linux
Go to /DSEngine directory Where: = /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server is the default.
Add following at the end of the file "dsenv":
DSSAPHOME=$DSHOME/..; export DSSAPHOME

Edit the /etc/services file, and add the following entries

For some reason the dir permissions are wrong on the DSSAPConnections folder, so they need to be updated (sap pack readme file tells you to do this). The dstage group needs write permissions.
chmod 775 /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSSAPConnections
