Installing SAP 64bit programs on AIX
I am trying to install SAP 4.6C SR2 (Kernel 4.6D) on AIX 5.2 and DB2 UDB 7. OS and database are both in 64bits. So, I chose SAP 64bit installation programs, but when I try to run the R3SETUP I get the following message from system:

R3SETUP: Discontinued 64 bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped

What can I do? Please help.

Did you make sure all installation prerequisites are met? These are listed in The SAP Installation and OS Dependencies guides which can be downloaded from the SAP service marketplace (http://service.sap.com/INSTGUIDES).

Are you sure that your operating system and database are 64bit? I'm not an AIX expert, but I thought that AIX can be configured to only run 32bit applications even though it is a 64bit operating system.
