NOTE: ASE license expiry

New ASE license, valid until Q1 2019 is available in this blog post: ASE License Blog. Please see the instructions below for the correct procedure.

Linux for Newbies

So, you want to install a developer edition of a SAP NetWeaver ABAP AS. It should sit on a Linux distribution, in a virtual box.
However, you're a Linux newbie.
FEAR NOT!
We have created a genuine, step-by-step guide, with loads of screenshots to help you on your way.
In this example, we will focus on the openSUSe distribution.

This guide is part of a series for anyone who wants a free trial version of an SAP NetWeaver ABAP AS. To find out more about this whole series, see SAP NW 750 SP2 ABAP AS Available to Download!

A. Preparation

Download the latest released version of Oracle VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads for your Operating system.

Download openSUSE Leap 42.1 in your local machine (64 bit, released version) from https://software.opensuse.org/421/en

Make sure the relevant ABAP download files ("abap.rar") are on your local hard drive.

Download the correct version of the ASE license from this blog: ASE License Blog and store it on your local hard drive.

B. Create VirtualBox instance; install openSUSE:

1. Start VirtualBox and create a new VirtualBox instance by clicking the New button:
2. Enter the following values:
  - Name : MyVirtualLinux (for example)
  - Type : Linux
  - Version: openSUSE (64 bit) -> Next
  - Select Memory size : 6 GB -> Next
  - Hard disk: Create a virtual hard disk now -> Next
  - Hard disk file type: VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) -> Next
  - Storage on physical hard disk: Dynamically allocated -> Next
  - File location and size: 100 GB
  - Choose Create.
3. Again in the VirtualBox Manager, click on Start to start the VirtualBox:
4. In the dialog that appears, navigate to the downloaded openSuse installation file which you downloaded in Step 2, eg openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso.Then select this drive, choose OK:
5. Now choose Installation (using keyboard, not mouse):
6. Important: Choose language and keyboard layout (test keyboard).
  NOTE: We have only tested the US English-language version. If you have problems, please use the English version.
  - Accept the License Agreement by choosing Next.
  - In Installation Options, leave the 2 options unchecked, and choose Next:
  - In Suggested Partitioning, choose Edit Proposal Settings and enter the following:
    - File System for Root partitionin: choose Ext4 from the drop-down box.
    - Uncheck Propose Separate Home Partition
      (This step is needed so that SUSE installation creates only one drive but does not create 2 drives (Home and Extension) where Home has less space to continue the ABAP installation.)
    - (Optional: Enlarged Swap for Suspend - I left it unchecked.)
  - Choose Ok, -> Next
  - Select Region and Timezone -> Next
  - In Desktop Selection, choose GNOME desktop -> Next
  - Enter:
    - Your full name
    - (Create a ) User name
    - Create a Master password, confirm it -> Next
      (I ticked Use this password for system administrator and Automatic Login. Leave the authentication method and encryption method as they are.
      The password should be at least 7 characters.)
7. IMPORTANT: In Installation Settings, do not choose Install yet! You need to make settings:
  Scroll down to find Firewall and SSH.
  - Disable Firewall
  - Enable SSH service:
8. Click on Install and Confirm again to Install the Operating System.The Linux operating system will install (yes!)

C. Prepare openSUSE system for ABAP installation

In this section, we will make some settings in the openSUSE system to prepare it for the ABAP installtion: Proxy settings; extract the ABAP .rar files; automount the folder containing these .rar files; install the uuidd daemon; change the hostname; assign root privileges to the install script.

If you have successfully installed the openSUSE operating system, you will see something like this:

Boot up the system by choosing the first option, "Boot from Hard Disk."Now, we just have these settings before we install the ABAP server.

Change Proxy settings if you are behind a proxy:
- Open Activities and enter "N" as the search term.
  The system returns something like this:
- Choose Network.
  In the dialog that opens, choose Network Proxy, then choose Manual.
- Change the http / https proxy settings according to your company requirements and set the port to 8080:

Now we want to enter some commands using a tool called Xterm.
(Background note: Technically speaking, we are interacting with the shell, a program that passes keyboard commands to the operating system. We are interacting with the shell using a terminal emulator, called Xterm. If these terms are unfamiliar, I would strongly recommend William Schotts' The Linux Command Line (free PDF)).
- Again, choose Activities, then enter "X" as the search term.
- Choose Xterm.
- Check used memory by typing df -h :
  
  Minimum space in home directory should 33 GB to avoud memory errors during installation. (In this example, mine is 92G, or 5%.)

AND NOW..., it is time to download and extract the abap rar files to a local folder.
First, so that the Linux system can access this folder, we need to register it for auto-mount.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your Linux system is up and running.
- Select the folder, then choose Settings, then choose Shared Folders.
- Add a new folder to automount, by choosing the plus icon to the right:
- In the dialog that appears, navigate to the folder that contains the ABAP installation.
- Change the folder name to s4installer. (You will need to enter this folder name manually later, so using this alias is less error-prone than trying to remember the complete path.):
- Choose OK, OK.
- IMPORTANT: Reboot the Linux system.

Now we are going to change some settings, before installing the uuidd daemon. This daemen provides universal unique identifiers - essential for creating database keys. (See SAP Note 1310037 for more details.)
(Note: You only need to do this step if you are using a proxy.)
- Open the system tool YaST (choose Activities -> enter "Y" as search term...).
- Enter your root password (ie the one you use to log on to the Linux system.)
- On the left, choose Software .
- Scroll down on the right-hand side and choose Proxy.
- CHange the http settings, tick Use same for all, then test proxy.
- Choose OK, OK.

Now we are going to install the uuidd daemon.
- Still in YaST, scroll back up and select Online Update.
- Open the Search tab, and and enter the search term "uuidd", then choose Search.
- Select "uuidd", then choose Accept.
  YaST will install uuidd, then reboot.
- End YaST.

Now we are going to start the uuidd service in Xterm.
- Open Xterm.
- Start uuidd, by entering: sudo service uuidd start
- Enter the root's password.
  (Note: sudo = "superuser do" ie you need to be a superuser to execute this command. Thus you also have enter the root's password.)
- Check if the service has started by entering: sudo service --status-all |grep uuidd
- Your Xterm will look like this:

Now, still in Xterm we will change the hostname, by entering sudo vi /etc/hostname.
- Insert the hostname by entering i (for "insert"). It should look something like this:
- Save your changes by hitting the ESC key, then :wq (ie "colon", "Write", "Quit")
- Check by entering sudo cat /etc/hostname
- Restart network by entering: sudo rcnetwork restart
- Check that the hostname has changed by entering hostname

Now we will map hosts to the new hostname.
- Check the IP address by entering sudo ifconfig
- Open the hosts file by entering sudo vi /etc/hosts
- Using this IP address, add a new entry of the form:
  <IP address> <hostname> <hostname>.dummy.nodomain
  (Here it is: 10.0.2.15 vhcalnplci vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain )
- (To add a new entry, proceed as before:
  - Enter i
  - Enter 10.0.2.15 vhcalnplci vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain
  - Hit ESC
  - Enter :wq
- Save the file hosts
- Check the changes by using the cat command: sudo cat /etc/hosts

And now, we will assign root privileges, by entering sudo -i.
- Enter the root's password.
- Navigate to the shared folder with the ABAP installation: cd /media/sf_s4installer
- Change the access rights of the install script: chmod +x install.sh

Finally, just before we install, we will ensure that we have the correct ASE license version. To do so, put the new .lic file, which you downloaded in section A above, in the same folder as the script file, using the name SYBASE_ASE_TD.lic . Do this after you have successfully extracted the ABAP .rar files. You do not need to edit the .tar files:

(Background: The .rar files for this version, 7.50, are now relatively old. However, only 7.50 supports SLT. Therefore, if you need SLT, you need to insert the correct ASE license version before you install.)

D. Install ABAP

FINALLY, we run the installation, by entering the command ./install.sh
- Read and accept the license agreement
- When prompted for the OS users password enter your master password of the virtual Linux OS instance twice
- Be patient, this will take a while...
- If the installation is successful, you will see something like this:

Ok, we're almost done. We just need to enter the right proxy settings so that SAP GUI, ABAP in Eclipse etc can find your ABAP system:

In Oracle VirtualBox Manager, select the VirtualBox with the installed ABAP system on it, then choose Settings from the context menu.

From the left-hand menu, choose Network.

Open Advanced, then choose Port Forwarding.

In the dialog that appears, enter the following settings:

Name	Protocol	Host IP	Host Port	Guest IP	Guest Port
HTTP	TCP	127.0.0.1	8000	10.0.2.15	8000
HTTPS	TCP	127.0.0.1	44300	10.0.2.15	44300
RFC	TCP	127.0.0.1	3300	10.0.2.15	3300
SAPGUI	TCP	127.0.0.1	3200	10.0.2.15	3200

And that's it! Hope this helps. Feel free to comment below.
We have also provided some additional info (admin, starting / stopping the server, created directories and users, etc) in the Concise Installation Guide.

Hi everyone,

Since we now have 6 blogs referring to 2 different versions of the download developer edition, blog comments are becoming unmanageable. In addition, searching through blog comments is very difficult for other users, resulting in many duplicate issues.

From now on, please DO NOT post a blog comment if you require troubleshooting.

Please post on the ABAP Development forum : https://www.sap.com/community/topic/abap.html , using the hashtag #ABAP_Trial. I promise to work through the backlog here, but cannot answer any further questions.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best wishes,

Julie Plummer.

Hi Omeralp,

If you can connect to the Linux OS in the Virtual Box, then there should not, theoretically, be a problem. However, this questioon is somewhat beyond the scope of support for a free download.

Best wishes Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-05-2017

Hi Rathan,

Once again, can you explain what is missing in the guide, that is available in https://sap.github.io/cloud-s4ext/week-1/unit-6/ ? They should be the same, since I edited one and wrote the other. Thanks a lot Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

Hi Cezary, Several users have had a problem with "sa". The following helped:

Resources : at least 4, preferably 6 GB RAM ; 100 GB HD.

To fix the issue, follow finals steps in the SAP note 1706410:

Login as npladm

isql -X -Usapsa -SNPL -w999
use master
go
sp_helpexternlogin
go
exec sp_dropexternlogin SYB_JSTASK, sapsa
go
exec sp_addexternlogin SYB_JSTASK, sapsa, sapsa, '<new sapsa password>'
go

Copy the new licence file from link: New Sybase License . Need to place this license file in /sybase/NPL/SYSAM-2_0/licenses/SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic. Set the Ownership and Group as per manual attached in the link.

Do these help?
Best wishes Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

This error is often caused by an outdated ASE license. Please download the correct license and PDF of instructions from here:

Renew ASE License: SAP Document Center

Best wishes Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

Hi Taryck,

Most people with this issue have had an outdated license.

Due to community feedback, we have had to focus on the new version, 751, for Teched.

This is now available here (with valid license):

https://blogs.sap.com/2017/09/04/sap-as-abap-751-sp02-developer-edition-to-download/

For that reason, we were unable to rebuild the whole package with the new license.

Should I provide more extensive step-by-step docu for this, or are you happy with the docu?
Thanks for your feedback,

Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

As above: Have you tried installing the new license:

Renew ASE License: SAP Document Center

(This SAP Document Center folder includes instructions.)

Does this help?
Best wishes Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

Hi Indrajit,

Thanks for your help. However, following community feedback we have focussed on providing a new version, 751, with valid license, in time for Teched. This is now available here:

https://blogs.sap.com/2017/09/04/sap-as-abap-751-sp02-developer-edition-to-download/

As such, we are unlikely to have the resources to rebuild the 750. Sorry, I cannot help further – I will let you know if this changes.

Best wishes Julie.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

Hi Praveen,

"SAP S/4HANA"?

No, I can't. This forum is for SAP AS ABAP server (dev edition) only.

Best wishes Julie.

manfred_stein · ‎09-06-2017

Hi Indrajit

The install.sh has a check built in that allows you to provide a new ASE license files without the Need to repackage the dbex.tgz file. Just place your new valid SYBASE_ASE_TD.lic file into the Directory where install.sh resides and then execute install.sh. install.sh will update the license file in the license Directory of ASE. We will make a valid SYBASE_ASE_TD.lic available any time soon.

manfred_stein · ‎09-06-2017

I also suggest that you try our new version, just like Julie recommends. Anyhow, you have a problem with your network Setup. Our installer does not discover the hostname to be used bythe system as active on the Installation server. You have to carefully implement the respective steps of Julie’s guide, for either 750 or 751 as appropriate.

julieplummer20 · ‎09-06-2017

Thanks Manfred, I will be updating the docu shortly.

Best wishes Julie.

Hi Manfred/Julie,

I am getting below after performing below steps.

Downloaded new file (dbexe.tgz-aa) from the sap portal and replaced with old file.

Placed new valid SYBASE_ASE_TD.lic file into the directory where install.sh resides.

Could you please help to solve this issue.

Former Member · ‎09-28-2017

Hi Julie,

Apparently the Developer Access Key

35408798513176413512 used for abap 750 is not the right one to use for abap 751.



Would you have the right Developer Access Key for abap 751?



Thanks and warm regards,

James

Hi Julie!

I left it for some time and started over now. Here's the deal. I think i'm just an idiot. I forgot about one simple thing - to install freakig 64 bit java on the Linux. After that installer worked like magic!
You can consider adding this to Your tutorial. I feel really stupid now. I always thought Linux comes with Java by default.
Sheesh.

Best Wishes!

You'll have to look at the log to get the error. Could you provide the check results described in §4.1

You should have followed the guide from §1 until step §4.2.6 where you get a failure

Hi everyone,

I did a few installs (on ubuntu, suse) on the manual step by step, and not 1 installation was not completed. I found a ready-made virtual machine with the NW750, but it also crashed. After installing a clean system, I did not change the network settings and register a static IP only assigned hostname and domain name. I installed nw7.51 with the -s option, everything worked.

former_member182570 · ‎11-22-2017

Hi Amani,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to fix it and finally I've installed SAP.

The issue is in the extracting, I had problems with many extractors programs in MAC and in Windows, finally I was able to extract correctly using 7Zip program in Windows OS.

Kind regards,

Alfonso.

former_member182570 · ‎11-22-2017

Hi Julie,

I've been very busy last months... Finally I've solved this.

The problem is during extraction of .rar files. I think that some files inside *.rar files are overwritten during extraction and for some reason they are incorrect (for example size 0).

Finally with program 7Zip in Windows I was able to manage the extraction and avoid inconsistencies in files of server folder.

In order to clarify I can tell that this is the files and sizes I got in folder ../server/TAR/x86_64/ after extraction:

I can confirm that SAP with VBox in Mac works fine.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Taryck,

thank you very much for your very detailed introduction!

I have installed everything successfully, could successfully log in to SAP-GUI but after the following

configuration: "Edit DEFAULT.PFL -> Add parameter : icm/host_name_full = $(SAPLOCALHOST).dummy.nodomain" and restart Netweaver i can't log in to SAP-GUI.

I get the following error message:

I downloaded and executed your VM (torrent-file) too and I getting the same error.

My Client ist on Windows10 installed.

I think this property 'icm/host_name_full' is very important for me because i want programming WEB-

Dynpros.

Can you help me?

Former Member · ‎01-05-2018

Could you please extend the license file , seems it is expired.

taryckbensaili · ‎01-05-2018

VM, i guess is not working because we will many with the same installation ID. I get issue when reusing my own VM.

So proper install from begining is the best/recommanded way.

Could you provide the check results described in §4.1 ?

Because most of the time SAP GUI issue are wrong IP (either in SAP GUI Configuration) or Server configuration.

could you ping the server from your sap gui's PC ?

Former Member · ‎01-05-2018

Hello Taryck and many thanks for the quick answer!

All points 4.1 (Perform Checks ) are success.

As already mentioned: I made a VM by myself (all complete) and later i used your torrent file too.

In both cases: I was able to log on to SAP-GUI, activate license and programing ABAP.

Only when I set DEFAULT.PFL (icm/host_name_full = $ (SAPLOCALHOST).dummy.nodomain) and restart Netweaver I can’t login anymore.

I suspect the problem has something to do with the network settings of my Windows10.

Many greetings
Maxim
