Purpose

This documentation describes the installation and uninstallation of the complete MaxDB database software with Version 7.5x; in the following, these processes are referred to as standard installation and standard uninstallation:

·        Standard installation with SDBINST

·        Standard uninstallation with SDBUNINST

SDBINST and SDBUNINST are command line tools and they can be used on all operating systems supported by the database system.

Implementation Considerations

SDBINST and SDBUNINST are included in the MaxDB database software, which you can download from the MaxDB Web site (see Download).

This Database Software Installation Guide is an extract from the Installation Manual and only describes some of the possible installation procedures. It is only intended for those users who want to perform a complete installation or complete uninstallation of the MaxDB database software outside of an SAP system.

Note

The comprehensive Installation Manual describes, among other things, the following software installation options:

§         Installation/uninstallation of individual components of the database software. To ensure that your software installation works properly, you need to consider the dependencies between the individual components.

§         Update of software installations with and without database instances.

§         Installation on or uninstallation from Linux using the Red Hat Package Manager.

For more information on the database system, please see Concepts of the Database System and the Glossary.

Constraints

This guide does not apply for the installation and uninstallation of the MaxDB database software in SAP systems.

The installation or uninstallation of the database software required for SAP systems is described in SAP-specific installation guides. SAP customers can find these guides on the SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com. If you want to upgrade database instances, including database software, in SAP systems, use the Installation Manual.
