## Software Components

### Use

You install installation packages that contain only individual components of the database software. You can do this to install missing components without having to update components unnecessarily.

The installation of software components is more complex than the installation of component groups or installation profiles, and requires the user to understand and take into account the dependencies determined by the content or versions of the software.

Since this installation is not interactive and can only run in the background, you need to determine any other components you have to install and the order in which they are to be installed beforehand. The installation program terminates the installation as soon as it recognizes that dependencies have not been taken into account. For this reason, you should only use this installation type in special cases.

The database software is split into the following components:

Name | Description
APO LC APPS (from APO Version 4.0) or APO COM | For SAP liveCache in the SAP APO system only: libraries with APO liveCache routines
Base | Programs for registering the installation, uninstall tool, InstallRegistryViewer, and programs that the SAP application server needs to access the database system (including Database Manager CLI, XUSER and SQLCLI)
Database Kernel | Database kernel with runtime environment
DB Analyzer | Database Analyzer: tool for analyzing database performance
JDBC | MaxDB JDBC driver for accessing the MaxDB database system
Loader | Loader: tool for importing and exporting data
ODBC | ODBC driver for accessing the MaxDB database system
PCR<version> | Precompiler runtime package: Contains runtime libraries for applications that were created with the C/C++-Precompiler for Embedded SQL. Can exist in several versions in the local installation directory
Perl Interface | Perl interface
Python Interface | Python interface
Redist Python | Python interface and extensions
Server Utilities | Tools for administration of the database kernel (including XCONS)
SQLDBC | Object-oriented C++ interface for accessing the MaxDB database system; contains, among other things, a non-versioned SQLDBC library
SQLDBC <version> | Versioned SQLDBC library
Web Tools | Web server and web-based database tools (WebDBM)

You must place any names of software components that contain spaces in double quotation marks.

### Dependencies

The following dependencies exist between software components:

Base ® Server Utilities ® Database Kernel ® APO LC APPS | APO COM
Base ® CPC Base ® CPC SDK <version>
Base ® ODBC ® Web Tools
Base [ ® ODBC]* ® DB Analyzer
Base ® SQLDBC
Base ® JDBC
Base ® Loader
Base ® Perl Interface
Base ® Python Interface
Base ® PCR <version>
Base ® Redist Python

● * Required for DB Analyzer on Microsoft Windows only

#### Explanation of Dependencies

● The Base software component is independent of all other packages.

● Server Utilities cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

○ Database Kernel cannot be installed until Server Utilities has been installed.

■ APO LC APPS or APO COM cannot be installed until Database Kernel has been installed

● CPC Base cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

○ CPC SDK <version> cannot be installed until CPC Base has been installed.

● ODBC cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

○ Web Tools cannot be installed until ODBC has been installed.

● DB Analyzer cannot be installed until you have installed Base (on UNIX) or Base and ODBC (on Microsoft Windows).

● SQLDBC cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

● JDBC cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

● Loader cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

● Perl cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

● Python cannot be installed until Base has been installed.

● PCR <version> cannot be installed until Base has been installed.
