skip a step during SWPM execution
An error occurred during SWPM execution that it is possible
to skip
Follow below procedure
Important: You can only skip a step of a SWPM / SAPinst if
the SAP Support or if a SAP Document advised to do it.
Otherwise, if the error/procedure is bypassed the tool can
fail afterwards because the tasks to be executed were not done. In this case,
the SWPM will stop with an unpredicted error and it will be needed to start the
SWPM from scratch.
When advised by a SAP Note or SAP support, the step can be
skipped because the procedure is not necessary anymore or it can be done
manually.
To skip a step, use the parameter
SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true . There are two ways:
• Run
SAPinst adding the parameter SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true to the command line.
Example: ./sapinst SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true
• Or,
create the environment variable called SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP with the value
true in the context of the user running SAPinst.
Example in Windows: At command prompt:
C:\Medias\SWPM>set SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=true
C:\Medias\SWPM>sapinst.exe
