Note for Windows XP
The installation of Web AS 6.10 has been successfully tested using FAT32-formatted drives under Windows XP.

Should you encounter problems during the installation, we recommend converting the hard drive to the Microsoft-recommended NTFS format, which takes only a few minutes and which you can do at the touch of a button under Windows XP.

The full name of the directory where the SAP DB of the Web AS is installed, ...\sapdb\WA1, must not exceed 50 characters.

Please note that under Windows XP, the name of the directory specified prior to installation can be implicitly supplemented by user-specific path information.

Installation on Windows NT
Windows NT is no longer supported in Version 6.10 and later.

Error message at logon: “No Logon possible” (no hw ID received by mssg server)

The usual cause for this error is that system file ...\system32\...\etc\services already contains an entry for port 3600 during installation. If so, mark the entry with “#” to deactivate it.

After installation, the entry must appear as follows:
sapmsWA13600/tcp

Creating a new development class
Transaction SE80 now has an “Edit Object” button. You can use it to create a new development class. The name must start with Y or Z.

In Version 6.10 and later, the term “development class” has been replaced with “package”.

Creating your own programs
Please note: The name has to start with Y or Z.

Note on global exception classes

Page 343 of the book specifies the prefix for exception classes as “CX_”. On the Mini Web AS, the customer namespace ZCX_ or YCX_ has to be used.

Unfortunately, the Basis version of the Mini Web AS contains an error that prevents the Class Builder from accepting these names.

Runtime error under DOKTL
This error occurs only when you run the system on a PC without a network connection. To solve this problem, install the MS Loopback Adapter as described on the first CD.

Developing BSP applications on Web AS 6.10
The start page of the first CD contains a link, “Starting Web AS 6.10 Demo - Getting started with a simple BSP (Business Server Pages) demo”, which describes the initial steps.
