ABAP NW7.5 Install Error

Matt_Marples — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 06:02:14 GMT

Can anyone help with the error message I’m receiving while trying to install ABAP 7.5. Error message states ‘Abort execution because of step returns nw.syscopy.storagecopy.HostIsNotLocal’

The hostname check was compliant when executing ./install.sh.

I used the link below to guide me through the various steps

Hello Metthew,

As it seems, currently only hostname vhcalnplci is suppoted for the SAP NW AS ABAP 7.50 SP2 – Developer Edition. If you change it to anything else, you get the error you mention. I just did a test installation and all went fine:

Best regards

Hi Frank,

Thanks for responding and sorry for the late response on this, I don't seem to be receiving notifications when someone answers my questions.

Attached is a copy of the hostname I typed into the file etc/hostname using command sudo nano etc/hostname

Attached also is the networking settings from YAST2 which are different from yours. I have input the dummy.nodomain into the domain name field but it removes it when I restart the machine.

Can you help?

Hi Frank,

Just checked and it looks like I've got some setting wrong in the hosts and hostname file. I will let you know if I still get the error once I've updated the files.

Hi Frank,

I've entered vhcalnplci into the hostname file and vhcalnplci vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain into the hosts file and still receive the error message below when executing ./install.sh.

'The hostname you have chosen is either configured on a loopback device or not active on this server, please check your configuration and hostname selection. If you are confident about your choice of hostname, start the install script with -s flag to skip the hostname check.

The YAST2 setting also differ from yours and when I update the domain field is reverts it back to an empty field. Attached is the screenshot from my network settingsyast2-settings.jpg

Can you help?

Hi, I am having the same problem. However, I am very new to ubuntu 18 and I could not find the network settings screen as shown by you on other replies.

Please advise

regards

Sultan

SAP documentation for native linux machines is pretty bad. There are some tutorials for virtual machine but these are useless.

I prefer to install Netweaver 7.52 dev on openSuse Leap. It is working.

The problem is inside the bash script install.sh apparently ifconfig returns empty strings in different distros(only works in opensuse). If you really sure that you enter the vhcalnplci in hostname, and hosts file then just add the -s parameter to skip the hostname check.

My solution was to set up port forwarding by changing the machines network adapter to NAT BEFORE running the install and putting in the values from this guide.

The blog tells you to do this step AFTER the installation
