SAP NetWeaver 7.01 - ABAP Trial Version (Part 1 of 2) - Preparation

This two part blog will detail how I installed the trial version of SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR2. This install will be valid for 4 weeks.

This includes the following
• Database Layer: MAX DB 7.7
• Application Layer: SAP Netweaver 7.01 ABAP Application Server
• Presentation Layer: SAP GUI for Windows version 7.10

Download Source
1. Open your favourite browser and go to http://sdn.sap.com
This is the SAP Developers Network website.

2. Click on “Downloads” from the horizontal menu

3. Click on “SAP Netweaver Main Releases” which can be found under the “Software” section

4. Click on “SAP NetWeaver 7.01 - ABAP Trial Version”

5. Read and ensure you have the minimum operating system requirements
Click “Click here to download”

6. Enter you SAP username and password. If you don’t have one, register, its free.

7. There are two files to download. Select each one and click on the agree button to agree to the license. This will open a new window and download should start.

8. Download both .rar files to the same folder and extract part1 only. (My extracted folder size was 3.28GB)
7-Zip is a free tool that can be used for extraction and can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org


We now have the SAP installation files.

Install the Operating System if you are not using your own computer. Ensure the minimum requirements are met.

I will install SAP on Windows XP SP2 formatted in NTFS with 1GB RAM in a virtual environment. 40GB Hard disk space (enough to include the source). Hostname has to be less than 13 characters (e.g. testsystem1). You will also need to use an admin account to install.

Copy the SAP source to the newly installed operating system.

You will also need the Java Runtime Environment, JRE 1.4.x which can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Download the J2SE v 1.4.2_19 JRE or the latest version of 1.4

    Thanks for this info. I am also in the process of installing NetWeaver trial version. Any idea how long the install takes ? The installer seems to get stuck in the "Creating Database schema phase" for a while (it's been atleast an hr. now). Is this normal ?

    Regards,
    -Kev.

    Thanks for the quick response. Could you let me know what the swap size configuration was when you did the installation ? I am using this config - (virtual environment, 2 GB ram, Windows 2003 server, 40GB HDD), and as far as I understand have satisfied the minimum sys requirements published.

    I left this install running overnight, but see that it is still stuck at the same step - the logs show no info, but CPU usage is near 100%. Have searched around, and noticed that some folks have also got stuck at this step, but have not seen any definite solution to the problem.

    Any help around this would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Kev

    Hi Kev
    I actually used the default swap size however have been advised that the recommended swap (page) file should be 4 times the physical memory.
    As for your install, have a look at the logs folder which can be found in usr\sap\your_sid\your_instance\log and check that it is being updated or if there any errors.

    Thanks
