Hi all
I have a multispanning archive file consisting of one .exe file and two .rar files, downloaded from SAP, for my SAP HANA install.
The files appear to have downloaded correctly (from Windows I can open the exe file and it will start unpacking).
SAP advise that to unpack these on Linux to run 'unrar x 51048744_part1.exe' (i.e. the first filename, and the others will be included) - as per SAP OSS Note 886535 - Downloading multispanning archives (RAR archive).
However, it doesn't appear to correctly unpack these into sub-folders - instead, flat files with long names and '\' in them are unpacked, for example:
51048744\DATA_UNITS\SAP_HANA_SDA_10\packages\sda_mii_adapter\netprotadapter_mii.sh
51048744\DATA_UNITS\SAP_HANA_SDA_10\PRODLABEL
51048744\DATA_UNITS\SWPM10_IM_LINUX_X86_64
51048744\DATA_UNITS\SWPM10_IM_LINUX_X86_64\70SWPM10SP04_1.SAR
51048744\DATA_UNITS\SWPM10_IM_LINUX_X86_64\LABEL.ASC
This is incorrect, they should be unpacked into folders, i.e. 51048744, with a sub folder DATA_UNITS, which has other folders, like so:
51048744/DATA_UNITS/SAP_HANA_SDA_10/packages/sda_mii_adapter/netprotadapter_mii.sh
/ not \ !
Oddly, the folder 51048744 is created, but it's empty, with no other subfolders.
I thought perhaps I'd downloaded the wrong software, perhaps for Windows (what with the Windows-esque '\'), but this SAP install is for Linux only, and there is no alternative download.
Could unrar be at fault? It wasn't present on my Linux box and I had to source and install it. I tried installing another version but it was older and wouldn't let me.
Any suggestions?
