Re: Newbie: Installing Multiple MaxDB databases on single host

We had problems with installtion Solution Manager 7.1 SR1 (MaxDB 7.8) on a system where already existed a SAP with SAP R/3 4.7 with MaxDB 7.7.

We got following error:

FJS-00003 TypeError: inst_name has no properties (in script NW_Onehost|ind|ind|ind|ind, line 35660: ???)

and

ERROR      2013-01-16 10:29:13.414 [sixxcstepexecute.cpp:937]

FCO-00011  The step sdb_create_volumes_fs with step key |NW_Onehost|ind|ind|ind|ind|0|0|NW_Onehost_System|ind|ind|ind|ind|onehost|0|NW_CreateDBandLoad|ind|ind|ind|ind|createdbandload|0|NW_CreateDB|ind|ind|ind|ind|createdb|0|NW_ADA_DB|ind|ind|ind|ind|6|0|SdbPreInstanceDialogs|ind|ind|ind|ind|4|0|SdbInstanceDialogs|ind|ind|ind|ind|1|0|SDB_INSTANCE_CREATE|ind|ind|ind|ind|0|0|sdb_create_volumes_fs was executed with status ERROR ( Last error reported by the step: TypeError: inst_name has no properties (in script NW_Onehost|ind|ind|ind|ind, line 35660: ???)).

We opened a message at SAP and got follwing answer:

Edit file control.xml (located in installation directory)

replace

if (inst_name.toUpperCase() == dbname.toUpperCase()) {...

with

if (inst_name != undefined && inst_name.toUpperCase() == dbname.toUpperCase()) { ...

Restart sapinst and continue at point it stopped.

This worked.

Hope that helps anybody.
