After 2 days, I have my SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Developer Edition 7.52 SP04 on Ubuntu Oracle Virtual box. Don't get scared, it is really easy. But took 2 days of mine.
I have tried to install it on Ubuntu a few times, all failed, then on openSuse those failed too. That is because I am just too lazy to read comments on blog posts. Also I need to give credit to blog authors, that is because none of them tell you, "It will fail" at first time because of sybase licence :D. Yeah, that is just part of installation.
So, I have decided to share pitfalls and exact steps with you to install without getting mad. Stay sane and follow steps below! Don't be lazy, read them all first. Pay attention to 25 and 26.
go to https://go.support.sap.com/minisap/#/minisap pake and enter hardwarekey from slicense tcode(Remote Hardware Key Tab, Active Hardware Key field value) and install downloaded licence file.
If you want to use more recent versions of Ubuntu and/or openSUSE Leap, then the installation will also succeed with those versions, if you use the advice here (warning: self-promotion alert):
(<- That blog assumes that you are reasonably competent in installing Dev Edition; so if you are a newbie then maybe best to try first with older versions of the Linux distros, as is well-described in Beyhan's blog above).
I was able to install the trial in 1 go, thanks to your clear instructions.
Only thing, which must be mentioned , is that VM should have 80-100 GB space ( considering rar, unpack & installation requirements , i luckily added 80GB, and it came down to 72 GB in total)
There are 2 things, which i am facing bit problem .
Fiori is not showing up (Following your port forwarding setup) and Screen Painter is also not working in SE80. Is it by design?
Thank you. Great and clean blog. Nice, simple and understandable explanation. It is very useful for you to explain the steps in detail in the video. I have done it. However, the system is running very slow. I think it's from the virtual machine settings.
I was able to install it in one go following your blog and the video where you have explained in detail all the required steps and also resolving the issues caused during installation.
It seems to be next to impossible to upgrade from 18.10. I'm happy to keep using netweaver on Ubuntu 18.10 but I was interested to see what would happen on the latest version. I destroyed my instllation trying to upgrade, but thanks to the snapshot it wasn't a problem
I managed to get everything working on Ubuntu 22.04 following your guide as well as the extra steps to edit the install.sh script.
The only problem I had was at step 24 of your guide. For some reason it's necessary to copy the Sybase ASE license back into the expanded install directory:
Also, after launching the install script the license is displayed, but there doesn't seem to be a way to scroll down. If you use Ctrl+C to escape, then there is a prompt to accept the license and it's possible to proceed from there.
I wanted to download SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Developer Edition 7.52 SP04. In fact, there are 12 files to download, but when I started to download the files, I received a message saying:
"Your request for information is being reviewed. Once approved, you’ll receive an e-mail with additional instructions."
Note: I have sent an email to SCNContent@sap.com but have not received a response.
Could you please share the 11 files from another link or drive for download?
I'am having problem with the installation; some issues from step 12 and 13 via PUTTY.
after the command "sudo apt install gcc make perl" I'm getting the following output:
0 packages can be updated.
0 updates are security updates.
