Symptom

When you run the Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) installer, it crashes during extraction with the error below:

/swpm # ./sapinst
[==============================] / extracting...  done!
/bas/753_REL/bc_753_REL/src/ins/SAPINST/impl/src/selfextract/iauxsysex.c:387: child /tmp/sapinst_exe.121846.1676010867/sapinst (pid 121860) has crashed. Executable directory is /tmp/sapinst_exe.121846.1676010867. Contact Support.

Environment

Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM);
Unix-based systems;
Database Independent.

Reproducing the Issue

Execute the SWPM by running executable sapinst;
During the extraction, it fails with the error above described in Symptom section

Cause

The issue happens when the directory used to extract the installer log files is mount-directory with options noexec and nosuid set in \etc\fstab.

* The installer finds the temporary directory by checking the value of the environment variables in the sequence: TEMP, TMP, and TMPDIR. If no directory is set for one of these variables, by default the installer creates and extracts the files under /tmp directory.

Resolution

There are 2 possible solutions for this issue:

Remove mount options noexec and nosuid from the mount-directory where the files are being extracted;
Or, if the first option is not feasible due to security standards, set TMP, TEMP or TMPDIR environment variables to another location where the options noexec and nosuid are not set
