       1.      Choose the appropriate software package for your operating system architecture, your database instance type, and the required installation profile.

If you want to install or update an individual software component only, then select an installation profile that contains this software component.

Installing from the SAP Service Marketplace(service.sap.com, for SAP customers only)

¡        For an OLTP database instance choose:
SAP Software
® Download ® SAP Support Packages & Patches ® MaxDB ® MaxDB OLTP 64-BIT ® MaxDB <version> OLTP ® <os> ®
MAXDB<version>_<build>-<GUID>.SAR

¡        For a liveCache database instance (SAP APO system), choose:
SAP Software
® Download ® SAP Support Packages & Patches ® SAP APO  ® SAP APO <apo_version> ® Binary Patches ® APO LC<version>/LCAPPS<apo_version> ® <os> ®
LC<version>A<apo_version>_<apo_build>-<GUID>.SAR

Installing from http://www.sapdb.org

¡        For an OLTP database instance only:
Go to Software, choose your operating system, and follow the instructions for downloading the software package
maxdb-<inst_profile>-<os>-64bit-<arch>-<version>_<build>.tgz

       2.      Copy the software package to a local directory of your choice.

       3.      Unpack the software with the following command:

If installing from the SAP Service Marketplace (service.sap.com):

SAPCAR –xvf MAXDB<version>_<build>-<GUID>.SAR

If installing from http://www.sapdb.org:

tar xvzf maxdb-<inst_profile>-<os>-64bit-<arch>-<version>_<build>.tgz

Result

The system creates the following in this local directory:

·        For OLTP software, the
max
db-<inst_profile>-<os>-64bit-<arch>-<version> subdirectory

·        For SAP liveCache, the
apo<apo_version>_livecache-<os>-64bit-<arch>-<version> subdirectory

It then saves the software to these subdirectories.
