NOTE: ASE license expiry

New ASE license, valid until Q1 2019 is available in this blog post: ASE License Blog. Please see the instructions below for the correct procedure.

Linux for Newbies

So, you want to install a developer edition of a SAP NetWeaver ABAP AS. It should sit on a Linux distribution, in a virtual box.
However, you're a Linux newbie.
FEAR NOT!
We have created a genuine, step-by-step guide, with loads of screenshots to help you on your way.
In this example, we will focus on the openSUSe distribution.

This guide is part of a series for anyone who wants a free trial version of an SAP NetWeaver ABAP AS. To find out more about this whole series, see SAP NW 750 SP2 ABAP AS Available to Download!

A. Preparation

Download the latest released version of Oracle VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads for your Operating system.

Download openSUSE Leap 42.1 in your local machine (64 bit, released version) from https://software.opensuse.org/421/en

Make sure the relevant ABAP download files ("abap.rar") are on your local hard drive.

Download the correct version of the ASE license from this blog: ASE License Blog and store it on your local hard drive.

B. Create VirtualBox instance; install openSUSE:

1. Start VirtualBox and create a new VirtualBox instance by clicking the New button:
2. Enter the following values:
  - Name : MyVirtualLinux (for example)
  - Type : Linux
  - Version: openSUSE (64 bit) -> Next
  - Select Memory size : 6 GB -> Next
  - Hard disk: Create a virtual hard disk now -> Next
  - Hard disk file type: VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) -> Next
  - Storage on physical hard disk: Dynamically allocated -> Next
  - File location and size: 100 GB
  - Choose Create.
3. Again in the VirtualBox Manager, click on Start to start the VirtualBox:
4. In the dialog that appears, navigate to the downloaded openSuse installation file which you downloaded in Step 2, eg openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso.Then select this drive, choose OK:
5. Now choose Installation (using keyboard, not mouse):
6. Important: Choose language and keyboard layout (test keyboard).
  NOTE: We have only tested the US English-language version. If you have problems, please use the English version.
  - Accept the License Agreement by choosing Next.
  - In Installation Options, leave the 2 options unchecked, and choose Next:
  - In Suggested Partitioning, choose Edit Proposal Settings and enter the following:
    - File System for Root partitionin: choose Ext4 from the drop-down box.
    - Uncheck Propose Separate Home Partition
      (This step is needed so that SUSE installation creates only one drive but does not create 2 drives (Home and Extension) where Home has less space to continue the ABAP installation.)
    - (Optional: Enlarged Swap for Suspend - I left it unchecked.)
  - Choose Ok, -> Next
  - Select Region and Timezone -> Next
  - In Desktop Selection, choose GNOME desktop -> Next
  - Enter:
    - Your full name
    - (Create a ) User name
    - Create a Master password, confirm it -> Next
      (I ticked Use this password for system administrator and Automatic Login. Leave the authentication method and encryption method as they are.
      The password should be at least 7 characters.)
7. IMPORTANT: In Installation Settings, do not choose Install yet! You need to make settings:
  Scroll down to find Firewall and SSH.
  - Disable Firewall
  - Enable SSH service:
8. Click on Install and Confirm again to Install the Operating System.The Linux operating system will install (yes!)

C. Prepare openSUSE system for ABAP installation

In this section, we will make some settings in the openSUSE system to prepare it for the ABAP installtion: Proxy settings; extract the ABAP .rar files; automount the folder containing these .rar files; install the uuidd daemon; change the hostname; assign root privileges to the install script.

If you have successfully installed the openSUSE operating system, you will see something like this:

Boot up the system by choosing the first option, "Boot from Hard Disk."Now, we just have these settings before we install the ABAP server.

Change Proxy settings if you are behind a proxy:
- Open Activities and enter "N" as the search term.
  The system returns something like this:
- Choose Network.
  In the dialog that opens, choose Network Proxy, then choose Manual.
- Change the http / https proxy settings according to your company requirements and set the port to 8080:

Now we want to enter some commands using a tool called Xterm.
(Background note: Technically speaking, we are interacting with the shell, a program that passes keyboard commands to the operating system. We are interacting with the shell using a terminal emulator, called Xterm. If these terms are unfamiliar, I would strongly recommend William Schotts' The Linux Command Line (free PDF)).
- Again, choose Activities, then enter "X" as the search term.
- Choose Xterm.
- Check used memory by typing df -h :
  
  Minimum space in home directory should 33 GB to avoud memory errors during installation. (In this example, mine is 92G, or 5%.)

AND NOW..., it is time to download and extract the abap rar files to a local folder.
First, so that the Linux system can access this folder, we need to register it for auto-mount.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your Linux system is up and running.
- Select the folder, then choose Settings, then choose Shared Folders.
- Add a new folder to automount, by choosing the plus icon to the right:
- In the dialog that appears, navigate to the folder that contains the ABAP installation.
- Change the folder name to s4installer. (You will need to enter this folder name manually later, so using this alias is less error-prone than trying to remember the complete path.):
- Choose OK, OK.
- IMPORTANT: Reboot the Linux system.

Now we are going to change some settings, before installing the uuidd daemon. This daemen provides universal unique identifiers - essential for creating database keys. (See SAP Note 1310037 for more details.)
(Note: You only need to do this step if you are using a proxy.)
- Open the system tool YaST (choose Activities -> enter "Y" as search term...).
- Enter your root password (ie the one you use to log on to the Linux system.)
- On the left, choose Software .
- Scroll down on the right-hand side and choose Proxy.
- CHange the http settings, tick Use same for all, then test proxy.
- Choose OK, OK.

Now we are going to install the uuidd daemon.
- Still in YaST, scroll back up and select Online Update.
- Open the Search tab, and and enter the search term "uuidd", then choose Search.
- Select "uuidd", then choose Accept.
  YaST will install uuidd, then reboot.
- End YaST.

Now we are going to start the uuidd service in Xterm.
- Open Xterm.
- Start uuidd, by entering: sudo service uuidd start
- Enter the root's password.
  (Note: sudo = "superuser do" ie you need to be a superuser to execute this command. Thus you also have enter the root's password.)
- Check if the service has started by entering: sudo service --status-all |grep uuidd
- Your Xterm will look like this:

Now, still in Xterm we will change the hostname, by entering sudo vi /etc/hostname.
- Insert the hostname by entering i (for "insert"). It should look something like this:
- Save your changes by hitting the ESC key, then :wq (ie "colon", "Write", "Quit")
- Check by entering sudo cat /etc/hostname
- Restart network by entering: sudo rcnetwork restart
- Check that the hostname has changed by entering hostname

Now we will map hosts to the new hostname.
- Check the IP address by entering sudo ifconfig
- Open the hosts file by entering sudo vi /etc/hosts
- Using this IP address, add a new entry of the form:
  <IP address> <hostname> <hostname>.dummy.nodomain
  (Here it is: 10.0.2.15 vhcalnplci vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain )
- (To add a new entry, proceed as before:
  - Enter i
  - Enter 10.0.2.15 vhcalnplci vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain
  - Hit ESC
  - Enter :wq
- Save the file hosts
- Check the changes by using the cat command: sudo cat /etc/hosts

And now, we will assign root privileges, by entering sudo -i.
- Enter the root's password.
- Navigate to the shared folder with the ABAP installation: cd /media/sf_s4installer
- Change the access rights of the install script: chmod +x install.sh

Finally, just before we install, we will ensure that we have the correct ASE license version. To do so, put the new .lic file, which you downloaded in section A above, in the same folder as the script file, using the name SYBASE_ASE_TD.lic . Do this after you have successfully extracted the ABAP .rar files. You do not need to edit the .tar files:

(Background: The .rar files for this version, 7.50, are now relatively old. However, only 7.50 supports SLT. Therefore, if you need SLT, you need to insert the correct ASE license version before you install.)

D. Install ABAP

FINALLY, we run the installation, by entering the command ./install.sh
- Read and accept the license agreement
- When prompted for the OS users password enter your master password of the virtual Linux OS instance twice
- Be patient, this will take a while...
- If the installation is successful, you will see something like this:

Ok, we're almost done. We just need to enter the right proxy settings so that SAP GUI, ABAP in Eclipse etc can find your ABAP system:

In Oracle VirtualBox Manager, select the VirtualBox with the installed ABAP system on it, then choose Settings from the context menu.

From the left-hand menu, choose Network.

Open Advanced, then choose Port Forwarding.

In the dialog that appears, enter the following settings:

Name	Protocol	Host IP	Host Port	Guest IP	Guest Port
HTTP	TCP	127.0.0.1	8000	10.0.2.15	8000
HTTPS	TCP	127.0.0.1	44300	10.0.2.15	44300
RFC	TCP	127.0.0.1	3300	10.0.2.15	3300
SAPGUI	TCP	127.0.0.1	3200	10.0.2.15	3200

And that's it! Hope this helps. Feel free to comment below.
We have also provided some additional info (admin, starting / stopping the server, created directories and users, etc) in the Concise Installation Guide.

Hi Njabulo,

May be you can try this,

open Konsole and enter "su", give the master password,

check where you are by using ls -l, cd.. to go back and cd sybase to move forward

normally you didn't have permission to access the folder, so follow this

chown -v <username> sybase

cd sybase

chown -v <username> NPL

cd NPL

chown -v <username> SYSAM-2_0

cd SYSAM-2_0

chown -v <username> licenses

and you can replace the file inside this folder.

Thank You 🙂

Goog Evening People :

First, i must thank all those involved in this matter, i could'nt never succesfully ended the installation process without your help. But now after all this tricky process i'm trying to generate a license key from here : https://go.support.sap.com/minisap/#/minisap but without results. how long it takes to receive the mail with the license?.

Thanks in advance.

Steve.

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 14

No email anymore. You can download the file with license key direct from the website where you requested it. Its offered for download at bottom of the site.

Try to get the license file with another browser. In my firefox the window at bottom that offers the license file doesnt appear.

Hi hello,

I’m very unlucky. I had setuped a proper NW750 dev System but this month it wouldnt start anymore. I thought its a personal problem caused by my laptop. Well.. First fault i made was: I dont watch here if the problem is known already so that i dont recognize the sybase license error issue. Second fault: I didnt remember the hints/steps for uninstalling mentioned in here, i just delete the instance in the oracle VM. After that i started the installation again (with the NW7.5 Files from February 2017).

Result:

in this directory i dont find a logfile, but in NW73/SBC/STANDARD there are some.

Any hints what to do best to get the SAP-Dev-System back quickly, ideally without making me a Linux Expert?

Here is logfil “sapinst.log”. No further information in sapinst_dev.log

Hmm. I think someone already posted the same error... I will try Julies answer

Hi experts,

for months I have been trying to make my testdrive installation run in a virtual PC on my Windows 10 Pro computer with Hyper-V and openSUSE. Some times installation was successful, but when restarting the SAP system the next day, NPL died with the message “No profile found”. But in most cases the install.sh ended with errors.

Actually I built a completely new virtual PC and repeated therein the installation of openSUSE Leap 42.2, downloaded and extracted again the .rar files from tools.hana.ondemand.com, ran the install.sh, and replaced the license file.

As Mandar Shete reported (on July 6, 2017 at 11:47 am, see above), now I would have to “Run the installation with ./install.sh -g option“. Whenever I do this, the install process keeps waiting for any kind of client connection:

Hi Harald,

For the first time error will came because of the license expired, do not try to delete anything and replace the license file and execute the command chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh,
system will automatically install the netweaver successfully 🙂

Thank You

Former Member · ‎2017 Jul 14

Hey Joy,

how can i replace that file?

Sorry, I'm a real newbie 😄

Greetings

Hello Julie, Hi Everyone!

First thing – thanks a lot for this really neat step-by-step guide!

I’d be 100% pleased if it acutally worked for me.

My problem, at first, was that even if i changed hostname to the one requested it prompted that it’s not complient with standard (after hitting hostname command it prompted the old hostame).

Yes i was in sudo when changing – solution was simply restarting linux before proceeding with anything.

But before i figured that out i tried with ./install.sh -s – error the same some guys reported – seemingly it couldn’t change “sa” database user password to other. I also tried with -g but stuck on SL Controller started (or whatever that is) and no action.

Then i took second try:

I formatted completely my Virtual OpenSUSE, then before changing anything related to SAP Installation i updated every package installed forcibly by Online update (You can pick all installed packages when prompt is popping up, also You can install uuidd by the way).

Then (after proceeding all preparation steps) i tried to install it once again (this time i restarted machine after changing hostnames). This time name convention was checked correctly.
So i wanted to install my instance with graphic option.

After hitting ./install.sh -g it went out fine until i got a message that no GUI server is installed and it listens on port 21212. So i said “f* it”, let’s give it a try without -g.

The same message popped out – impossible to change username. And without any switch in install command i got the same result – “sa” was the problem for the installer.

I think i’ll continue to describe my struggles here, maybe it will help anybody.

Cheers,

Cezary

xczar0 · ‎2017 Jul 15

Okay i gave it another try:

This time i applied advice from Radek (to supply password - step 21 - not necessarily from Linux itself, but use pattern - small and capitalized letters plus digits without any special characters).

I think Step 21 is kinda misleading. I thought at first i have to supply my sudo username over there twice, whereas it's a SAP Admin and Database Admin pwd.

Anyways:
The same error message - cannot change password for user "sa".

I can log into both account on Linux - Database Admin and SAP Admin but i cannot execute on SAP Admin isql command, but there's a possibility to apply this on Database Admin. Unfortunately there's some .NET exception occuring - it cannot get connection to database nodes.

SAP is literally first bigger program i have problems installing.

Wouldn't it be good to create some VHD with already installed and bootable version of correctly configured SAP Instance? I woudln't mind to download 50 gb file (in parts) from Your servers, still i have to download like 15 gb

I think i will give up for some time installing SAP.

Cheers,

Cezary

Hello Omeralp,

I propose to create additional port forwarding rules, as you have already created the following:

Name	Protocol	Host IP	Host Port	Guest IP	Guest Port
HTTP	TCP	127.0.0.1	8000	10.0.2.15	8000
HTTPS	TCP	127.0.0.1	44300	10.0.2.15	44300
RFC	TCP	127.0.0.1	3300	10.0.2.15	3300
SAPGUI	TCP	127.0.0.1	3200	10.0.2.15	3200

Now create 4 entries by replacing 127.0.0.1 with your host IP address (e.g. 192.168...).

Make sure your firewall is not blocking the ports 3200 and 3300.

regards,

JNN

Hello Joy,

can you tell me where I have to replace the license file?

In the install folder or where?

BR,

Daniel

former_member209372 · ‎2017 Jul 17

Hi Daniel,

check the below location on the root,

sybase/NPL/SYSAM-2_0/licenses/SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic

Thank You

former_member209372 · ‎2017 Jul 17

Hi Timo,

Just download the file from https://mdocs.sap.com/mcm/public/v1/open?shr=dRhHsVYVLc5c1UDveogwtXBdL9m82JccRlvvBXO6K5Q and go to the location

sybase/NPL/SYSAM-2_0/licenses

just drag and drop the downloaded file into this folder, it will replace the existing file and you can start install.sh command.

Thank You

Hello Julie,

The installation stops (keeps waiting) at the following line. Am I missing anything during the installation? Please help.

guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection to host vhcalnplci, port 21212 to continue with the installation.

Thank You

Hi Devidas,

Restart your installation. Start fresh with your Suse Installation.

Follow the below installation guide point to point.

https://sap.github.io/cloud-s4ext/week-1/unit-6/

As the database license has expired. You'll see password failure issue.

Take a snapshot at that point.

New ASE license is available here: Use this as per the instructions. You should be a root user to copy the specified licence.

Renew ASE License: SAP Document Center

Now use ./install.sh -g option. From that point. Fresh installation is not necessary. If something fails you start your OS from the snapshot that you have taken.

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 25

on my OracleVM/SUSE the -g Option does not work. Without this option it was successfull. Another hint if you are new like me with Linux/SUSE: Download the new license File unzipped, without the .pdf file. I used the SUSE Firefox for that.

Hmm, yesterday the new SUSE/SAP system was up and running and i have had access with SAP_GUI, But today it aborts after "startsap ALL" with message "no Profil found". Well... complete new Installation seems to be tricky. I will uninstall SAP/SUSE again like described here in blog and then try the installation guide provided by rathan.

Rathan, please..Im not familar with rights in linux...

How is the replacing done exactly? Last time i replaced it in XTERM with "su npladm" followed by "chown -v npladm licenses" and then copy with

cp –i SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic /sybase/NPL/SYSAM-2_0/licenses/

Do i need to change rights after replacing it? Or something other to be done?

Former Member · ‎2017 Jul 25

Hi Rathan,

Greetings! Thanks for your help. I tried as per your instructions however I am still not able to complete the installation successfully. Do I need to start any GUI server in order to complete the installation. Because the installation stops and waits with the following details; Appreciate your help!

Hi Harald,

On the logon screen when you login to Suse, switch user to root or enter root for user and login password. Ideally you are in the root now. Navigate to the said folders copy and paste the required licences. You have to change the rights after replacing the file. You can right click on the file and change the permissions. When you check the properties you'll see the details for a root user (default permissions). Change the users to the proposed names in the license file.

Hi Devidas,

You don't have to start the GUI server. When the Installation fails for the first time with password failure issue with an error something like this "“sa” database user password to other".

Did you take a snap shot at this point?

If you saved it at this point, Restart your machine using this snapshot. Login as root user into your system. User Name: root password: <yourpassword>.

Copy the new ASE licence as proposed in the file. Change all the user permissions as suggested.

As you are already in root, navigate to the installation folder after mounting your folder with the installation files if your installation is on another folder.

Do a /install.sh -g. After some time SAP Should launch a GUI window so that you can perform installation steps using the navigation and confirmation buttons on the screen.

Thanks,

Rathan.

Many thanx for your reply. I made complete new installation from th eOpenSAP Guide (which is better) but No User=root available at login screen. Nevertheless i replaced the license file with command… above. Replacing was successful, now checking the rights..

Do i need JAva SAP-GUI on SUSE for the install -g command? Because installation hanging at that point: "No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host vhcalnplci, port 21212 to continue with the installation" ist doesnt semmed to be the license problem...

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 27

There are no users named in the license File “SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic”. I found nice apllication called “”File Manager – Super User Mode”. I think this is a File-explorer with root rights. Propertiese of the “SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic” show rights as follows (i think its alright)

I will try it again from snapshot before replacing the license file. Just to see what rights are there before replacing…

-restore snapshot- and yes.. permissions before replacing are exactly the same. Must be other reason.

Also this speaks for that these are the right permissions: Karl Kessler on Twitter

Hallo Heiner,

Same here. Watch out my thread a bit bottom down for some useful information beside, especially a better alternativ installation guide which makes some things easier.

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 27

Thanx Joy. The replacement works if its not a complete new installation.

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 28

Hi,

In case of complete new installation (after following all uninstallation instructions) installation is successful. If you open slicense with SAP* in Mdt 000 you will see this:

At my first try, i let it in this status and stopsap everything. Next day i wanted to change the license but startsap leads into error with message “No profile found”.

This time i get new SAP-license same day with IE here (FIREFOX doesnt work) –> deleted immediatly the status=green line –> install the new SAP-license (SAP* in Mdt 000) –> put in Developer-key in Mdt 001 for user DEVELOPER. SLICENSE looks like that now

Aaaand oh wonder.. after restart VM+SAP everything is working alright including acceptance of developer key for user DEVELOPER in Mdt 001.

Iam not fully sure if these steps are necessary, but should not destroy something to do these steps at the same day like installation followed after .install.sh

if system dont start again tomorrow i will post it here. thanks for help

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 28

I think i got it now. Without the -g option. See my post earlier in this thread searching for "In case of complete new installation". For today it works after restarting. if i get again an error tomorrow i wil post it.

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 28

Hi Rathan,

Have you tried out the -g option by yourself on OracleVM/SUSE System with a windows SAP-Gui? I tried it many times including waiting hours for the gui but without success. leaving the -g option -now, this day- seems to do it. After checking rights of the replaced SYBASE license file and renewing SAP license in Transaction SLICENSE the same day like installation and without restarting the SAP.

P311729 · ‎2017 Jul 29

Hi Harald,

The server is installed on OracleVM/SUSE System.

SAP GUI is installed on Mac.

First time when I installed I did it without -g.

After replacing the file I did it with -g.

I have tried installing with -g option in SUSE. The installation has failed many times and I couldn't see the GUI Screen to finish the installation. After some n'th installation I got the SAP Guided Installation steps and it has finished successfully after I set the export DISPLAY=:0 value. I don't know what made the installation successful.

Thanks and Regards,

Rathan.

Former Member · ‎2017 Jul 31

Hi Rathan and Harald,

I did fresh installation and followed all the steps as instructed by Rathan with one change as suggested by Harard (i.e. install without -g) and it worked!!!

Thank you so much for your help. You guys are great. I am now able to connect to it from another PC as well.

Thanks

Devidas

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 31

Hello,

Concerning the -g option: Maybe this depends on the installation of the Java environment. If i remember right this is not described in detail here in Julies Blog. But in the openSAP Course it is, watch out here:

UNIT 5, Step 1 “Installing Java 8 SDK”

if i check here on windows console the java environment:

Java Version with: java -version –> OK

Java-SDK with: javac -version –> its an unknown command

by the way: Installation from before weekend is still running, including start/stop everything. Thanks again Rathan for the very valuable link to this OpenSAP Guide.

harald_w · ‎2017 Jul 31

Hi Devidas,

Me too i want to have possibility to connect from another computer. I found some help here in the blog if you search by "how can i connect to my server from different computer". Two members answered. Have you followed the two answers, both? And.. do you found something else to do?

Hi,

I've tryed to install this version on my CentOS 7 server that leads to server crash. So I decide to try this methods. I've done 3 times with or without SAP GUI but it leads to :

This is not a linux issue but an installer issue... Any solution/help will be appreciated !!

Hi,

I followed step by step (except the proxy step which I don't use). Tried 5 times and finally end up with the same error every time...

Assertion failed: Unable to generate a new password for database login 'sa'.

Error No is CJS-00030

I'm installing on Virtual Box 5.1.24r117012 (Qt5.6.2) on Windows 10.

The OS in my virtual box is openSUSE 64 bit as mentioned in this blog.

Anybody encountered the same error?

Thanks in advance,

Alain.

former_member191573 · ‎2017 Aug 05

Same issue . Tried it multiple times on personal (no proxy) Mac & win10 following instruction to the T with fresh Linux install every time .

look like install script errors that have been fixed in past releases that have cropped up again.

here is the log of non info entries

@Julie Plummer

Could you retry installation on opensuse as you did it when build this guide, because it doesn't work now. We are many with the same issue on sa password generation (event with -g option) and I've ask to a friend who has succeed months ago and he tried several times and failed with the same issue !

I guess that because the install files are a little too old installation fails.

Could you please provide support and answer to this major issue ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Former Member · ‎2017 Aug 07

Hi there,

Same goes for me, I retried after a successful instalation before licence expiry.

But now installation failed on SA password modification. I tried with and without complex password with max 8 car.

Please fixe the installation files.

Hello to all. I would like to install suse at home to practice, but the tutorial says that you need a HTTP Proxy. I do not have an HTTP Proxy. How can I do? Thank you

Former Member · ‎2017 Aug 15

Hi John,

The installation of NPL is failing because, the Sybase ASE Database license that exists in the rar files in https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#abap (from where we are downloading the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Developer Edition), has expired.

So what we need to do, is as follows –

Download the new Sybase ASE Database license (SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic) from https://mdocs.sap.com/mcm/public/v1/open?shr=dRhHsVYVLc5c1UDveogwtXBdL9m82JccRlvvBXO6K5Q .

After unzipping the rar files for SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Developer Edition, downloaded from https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#abap, go to folder “server/TAR/x86_64” and take the file “dbexe.tgz-aa“. Untar the file “dbexe.tgz-aa” and in the folder “sybase/NPL/SYSAM-2_0/licenses“, replace the existing Sybase ASE Database license (file SYBASE_ASE_TestDrive.lic) with the new licence file downloaded in previous step.

Tar the folder again to “dbexe.tgz-aa” file and replace the existing “dbexe.tgz-aa” file with the new one.

Use this new folder for SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Developer Edition, for uploading in the VirtualBox and follow the remaining steps as-is.

@Julie – Can you please ask the relevant team in SAP to update the new Sybase ASE Database license in the rar files in https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#abap, so that everyone do not need to do the above steps.

Thanks,

Indrajit Chakraborti

raulruiz · ‎2017 Aug 15

Hi Indrajit.

If I am not wrong , I am experiencing the same issue (it seems the license is not updated yet). However, I am not able to update the file. Cannot access sybase directory after unzipping the TAR, as I have no permission. Did you use any special option when unzipping dbexe.tgz-aa? I did this:

sudo tar -zxvf dbexe.tgz-aa

Thanks in advance

I switch to OpenSuse VM because SAP installation has corrupted my User database and I had to reinstall CentOS....

taryckbensaili · ‎2017 Aug 24

Hi all,

After many tries I succeed install SAP NW 7.50 Developer edition.

Because of the high number of tries I had to do. I’ve created a install guide that helps me to speed up my installs. My installs was failling due to ASE license issue on new install. Now that SAP has just fixed this issue few days ago. My install guide was leading to a success full install.

Here is my install guide for SAP NW 7.5 on OpenSuse VM : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6wlEuX4PvVXc1FkdmVzLUR6ZlU/view

I’ve saved my Virtual Box’s VM (47Gb) at the end of the installation so if anyone want a copy, I’ll create a torrent file (10,5Gb) to download it. Just Ask for it.

Taryck.

taryckbensaili · ‎2017 Aug 24

skip the proxy setting step. You don't need it.

taryckbensaili · ‎2017 Aug 24

I've succeed by pass the ASE license issue but this leads to a invalid hardware key that is not supported by SAP Sneak Preview License Key Request.

I've got a running SAP ut can't connect with something else than SAP*

I've used the new archive for the ASE DB on a fresh install and at last it's works...

I'had to switch on Chrome no file generated on FireFox

taryckbensaili · ‎2017 Aug 24

Fixed with new ASE license file.
