Facing the same problem... anyone can help? Already tried the tutorial in this link: https://blogs.sap.com/2017/09/04/newbies-guide-installing-abap-as-751-sp02-on-linux/. But no success...

Are you sure you are using the rigth shell, the right user ?

Hi Max,

Did you see Luigi 's comment above? This worked for him:

"I applied this Oracle note for VBOX (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26217_01/E26796/html/qs-vm-preparation.html)"

HTH Julie.

Hi,

I changed the file sapinst.txt in the folder .../server/TAR/x86_64 this way:

storageBasedCopy.dbSidTarget=NPL storageBasedCopy.abapSchemaPassword=Down1oad storageBasedCopy.dbSidSource=NPL storageBasedCopy.unicode=true nwUsers.sidadmPassword=Down1oad storageBasedCopy.syb.instanceNumber=00 storageBasedCopy.abapSchemaTarget=SAPSR3 storageBasedCopy.sidSource=NPL storageBasedCopy.sidTarget=NPL storageBasedCopy.dbHostTarget=<INST_HOST> storageBasedCopy.dbType=syb storageBasedCopy.fqdn=dummy.nodomain storageBasedCopy.syb.systemPassword=Download storageBasedCopy.masterPassword=Down1oad storageBasedCopy.sapmnt=/sapmnt nwUsers.sapServiceSIDPassword=Down1oad storageBasedCopy.instanceList=D00,00,NPL_D00_vhcalnplci,vhcalnplci,00,<INST_HOST>;ASCS01,01,NPL_ASCS01_vhcalnplcs,vhcalnplcs,01,<INST_HOST>

Please be aware that some of the passwords are changed to Down1oad and not to the master password you set in the installation guide.

I installed on the current version of CentOS with csh.

Hi Rafael,

The users / passwords are listed here:

• Installing SAP AS ABAP 752 SP01 on Linux – Virtual Box
• Installing SAP AS ABAP 7.52 SP01 on Linux – VMWare

Also in the readme, supplied with the DL.

When you changed sapinst.txt, did the changes work? Did you get the same error message as above, or a different one?

Thanks and best wishes,

Julie.

Hi Luigi,

did you suceed in installing the SP04 Dev Edition?

I'm also having troubles with it, although with other error message...

Thanks and best regards,

Flavio

[julieplummer20]

Hi all,

One small point: If you're installing SP04, not SP01, you need the new guide:

• Installing SAP AS ABAP 752 SP01 on Linux – Virtual Box
• Installing SAP AS ABAP 7.52 SP01 on Linux – VMWare

This guide contains several changes.

If that fails, you can try: edit the sapinst*.log file so it contains ONLY errors (otherwise it's too large), and post it here as a .txt file. We cannot guarantee support, but we can take a look at it.

Best wishes,

Julie.

Also: Did you change the hostname? If so, please try again without changing it.

Best wishes Julie.

Hi all,

After a few attempts the installation was successful and works well.

Same problem since 3 weeks!

Tried with different linux distros: on openSUSE leap 15.1, ubuntu 18.04 LTS and finaly on openSUSE leap 15.0. The last one i tried to come close the original installation by SAP... with Virtualbox 6.0.14

OSE version without Extention Pack.

Only keyboard is set to German.

Any suggestions? Installed as root esp. sudo csh and install.sh...

Hi, I am not sure why in the end the installation started. Maybe the problem was on Oracle Virtualbox: I applied this Oracle note for VBOX (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26217_01/E26796/html/qs-vm-preparation.html)

[julieplummer20]

Hi Luigi,

Thanks for letting me know. I'll add that to the FAQs.

Best wishes Julie.

Hi,

I found solution at https://answers.sap.com/questions/12695401/sap-nw-752-sp01-installation-error-in-ubuntu-1804-.html (thanks to Amit Kumar Roul):

Changing the sequence of hostname and FQDN as shown below (in '/etc/hosts')

10.0.2.15 vhcalnplci.dummy.nodomain vhcalnplci

After that './install.sh' again and it was finished with success.

[julieplummer20]

Hi Dmitriy,

Thanks a lot. I have already updated the latest version of the guide.

Oddly, in VMWare, it works successfully the other way around.

Best wishes,

Julie.

Hi all,

I have been faced with the same problem in a VMWare setup,

Problem was caused by a too long password. Shorten it to 8 letters solved the issue,

Cheers, Andreas

Hello. I'm currently getting the same dump during installation. It's saying that SAPSYSTEMNAME is neither in profile nor in commandline. I've tried swapping the host name. I've visited the link here for possible solutions, but nothing works. Please advise. I've been going at this for 4 days now.
