1. General Information

Software Recommendations
CCMS Agent
When installating a CCMS Agent using SAPinst, use the CCMAGENT.SAR file for product Support Packages and Patches – Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER PI 7.1 -> Eintrag nach Komponente -> Application Server ABAP -> SAP KERNEL 7.10 64-BIT UNICODE -> OS/400 -> #Database independent

2. Pre-Installation

+===================================================================+

SAP system installation on a new System i/IBM i server
A new System i(V5R4)/IBM i(6.1) server has to be prepared before you can start to create a first SAP system.
To create a new server, proceed as follows:
1. To create the group R3GROUP manually, enter:
CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(R3GROUP) USRCLS(*PGMR) INLMNU(*SIGNOFF) LMTCPB(*YES) TEXT(’SAP USER PROFILE’) SPCAUT(*NONE) SRTSEQ(*HEX) LANGID(ENU) CNTRYID(US) CCSID(500) GID( or *GEN)
Note: If you already have SAP systems on other servers, we recommended that you use the same GID for all sapsys groups in the systems landscape. Replace with the GID for group R3GROUP on other IBM i systems or group sapsys on other UNIX systems.2. To grant object authorities, enter:
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QPMLPFRD) OBJTYPE(*PGM) USER(R3GROUP) AUT(*USE)
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QPMWKCOL) OBJTYPE(*PGM) USER(R3GROUP) AUT(*USE)
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QP0ZIPCS) OBJTYPE(*PGM) USER(R3GROUP) AUT(*USE)
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QPMLPMGT) OBJTYPE(*SRVPGM) USER(R3GROUP) AUT(*USE)
Now there will be no permission problem to create a first SAP system on your new server.
