CHAPTER 8
Installing SAP Stand-Alone Systems
In this chapter we will study the installation and configuration of some of the SAP stand-
alone components. These components are not mandatory and are installed as part of meeting
the requirements of a specific IT scenario. The SAPinst tool helps in the installation of most
SAP stand-alone components. Some components, such as SAProuter, are installed by follow-
ing a manual installation process.
The stand-alone components do not run on SAP AS ABAP or AS Java stack-based usage
types. SAP Web Dispatcher and SAProuter installation and configuration will be discussed in
detail in this chapter. SAP liveCache is a promising database technology, and installation of
this technology will also be covered. SAPinst also provides an uninstall option if needed so
that SAP software can be removed from the server in a structured manner.
