Regarding SAP on Linux

[Former Member]

Hai Dear Virtuosos,

I am Farooq, just joined TULIP IT SERVICES LTD., Delhi as a ABAPer. This company has just implemented SAP & I am the only SAP guy for this company. I have a bit trouble at work as I am alone & no senior or any one else on the same Platform. Also I want to do some courses to enrich my skill set. Can any one let me know if How useful it would be to learn Linux OS working in ABAP. Does SAP run on Linux Systems??!! Plzzz let me know the Pros & Corns of learning Linux working on SAP 'coz still I have to grow a lot as ABAPer primarily.

Thanks.

Regards.

SAP ABAP engine can run on Linux, different kind of Unixes and Windows.

ABAP is designed to be a platform independent, so apart from some small part of OS or DB specific part, ABAP syntax is same in every platform.

If you use files on server side, you have to respect the directory separator \ or /. If you optimize performance you have to keep in mind which DB you use.

So I'd suggest to enroll an ABAP course instead of Linux.
