Installing the SAP R/3 Base System 99
3.5.1 Changing Defaults
The default tablespace sizes are contained in the file sapfs.inf in the install
directory, c:\users\<SAPSID>\install. If you wish to increase the size of any
tablespace or if you wish to use hardware mirroring, you must change this file
with the SAP utility program SAPPAD. SAPPAD is like Notepad. Proceed as
follows:
1. Start a command prompt.
2. Type cd \users\<SAPSID>\install.
3. Type
sappad sapfs.inf.
4. If you want to use hardware mirroring, insert a semicolon before the lines
mirrlogA and mirrlogB in the ORACLE-DB-SERVER section (see Figure 66).

5. You can also increase, but not decrease, the sizes of database files.
6. After changes, click File/Save, then File/Exit.
3.5.2 Creating Oracle Database
This step could run for two to seven hours, depending on your processor and disk
configuration. There are two CDs which contain the database. The R3INST
program gives you the option of copying the 1st CD to disk so that the installation
can run unattended after that. We recommend you choose that option. Proceed
as follows:
1. Insert the CD DB Export 1 of 2.
2. Click Start/Programs/SAP R/3/R3INST.
3. Click on Continue.
4. Select your SAPSID and click OK.
5. When the local drives window appears (see Figure 67) , Click Server/New.
