Is any free trial service available for students practicing SAP BW?

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I used Free SAP Hana trial instance offered by "hantrial.ondemand.com" to practice Hana sql queries. I am new to the world of SAP Business Intelligence. I would like to know if there is a similar free service available for students like me, to Practice SAP Business warehousing using Netweaver GUI on a cloud execution environment.

Thanking you in Advance.

Hi Adithya,

There is a free trial for SAP HANA Cloud (the database), SAP Business Technology Platform (the platform-as-a-service), and SAP Data Warehouse Cloud.

There are also trials available for cloud-hosted on-premises products (lift-and-shift) like SAP BW/4HANA on the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL). However, these do incur charges from the cloud provider (e.g. Azure, GCP, AWS) and as this concerns fairly heavy equipment, this quickly adds up. You can try CAL for free as well
