In this Document, I would like to share my experience in Installing and configuring Data Services 4.2 SP01.
Best Practice: Before installing SAP Data services 4.2 SP01, we may want to consider disabling any virus protection software to avoid installation performance degradation.
Log on to Windows Server that will host Data Services 4.1 SP02
We have passed all Prerequisites with exception of the optional SAP HOST Agent. Since we do not have a SAP HOST Agent, which is fine.
Some of the prerequisites it checked for
