SAP NetWeaver 7.01 - ABAP Trial Version (Part 2 of 2) - Installation

With the prep work done, we are ready for the installation.

  1. Install the Java Runtime Environment, JRE 1.4.x using the “Typical” option.

  2. Browse to and run \start.htm

  3. Click next twice and re-check the system requirements. Whether you have a DHCP server or not, install the loopback adaptor and don’t forget to edit the hosts file. Instructions for this can be found using the link near the bottom of your webpage you are on. This is important and apparently can cause problems.
    To confirm the loopback adaptor is setup correctly, from the command prompt, run the command “Ping 10.10.0.10”. If this result in replies then we are fine and if not, check the above.

  4. Click back to move back to the “system requirements” screen and then next twice. We can now see the installation instructions and are ready to install.

  5. Install the SAP Management Console by running \sapmmc\sapmmcX86u.msi
    • Installation is simple, click next twice and then finish to complete the installation

  6. Install SAP by running \image\setup.exe
    • If the following screen is displayed, reboot and run setup.exe again

    • Click Next
    • Select “I accept the terms of the license agreement” and click next
    • Specify directory or leave as default, next to continue
    • Enter a master password and repeat. Next to continue.
    • Click Install
    • Click Next to continue
    • Click Finish
    This took just over an hour to install.

  7. Reboot the computer

  8. Start the application server: C:\SAP\NSP\SYS\exe\run\startSystem.cmd or Start->Programs->SAP Netweaver ABAP Trial Version->NSP->Start Application Server
  9. We can now log into SAP. There are two options
    • SAP GUI: Browse to and run \start.htm and click next till you reach the “Getting started” web page and follow the instructions to install the SAP GUI.
    • Web GUI: http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000
    Click “Log On” and enter the username: bcuser and password:minisap

In summary, this installation was straight forward. No problems to report which is something I was expecting.


I installed the Java (although this wasnt stated in the instructions) because in a previous version it was mentioned in the requirements.
