SAPinst
The SAPinst tool is called from the SAP installation master DVD, which is downloaded
from SAP Service Marketplace. The SAPinst tool (
Figure 6-1
)
guides the Basis administrat-
or in choosing which solution needs to be installed and the different parameters that are
needed for a successful installation. Over time, SAP has improved its software installation
tools, and the current version of the SAPinst tool is effective and intuitive. The SAPinst tool
performs the software installation in five phases, as shown in
Figure 6-1
. The details of each
phase are explained in subsequent sections of this chapter.
