This is the Video for installation of SAP S/4HANA 1909 FPS0 (Not 2020 FPS0 but process is similar):

https://youtu.be/e8FfUaQtP5A

STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM

It is recommended to install minimum SuSE Linux version 15. Refer
SAP Note 2235581 - SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems.
SAP Note 2399995 - Hardware requirement for SAP HANA 2.0
SAP Note 2620910 - SAP S/4HANA 1511, 1610, 1709 and SAP BW/4HANA 1.0: Recommended Application Server...
SAP Note 2684254 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 15 / SLES for SAP Applications 15

You can check your operating system version as below:

sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/os-release

   NAME="SLES"

   VERSION="15-SP1"

   VERSION_ID="15.1"

   PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1"

STEP 2: SAP HANA DATABASE

It is recommended to install minimum SAP HANA 2.0 SP05 rev52
SAP Note 2655761 - SAP S/4HANA - restrictions and recommendations regarding specific revisions of SA...
SAP Note 2844322 - SAP HANA Platform 2.0 SPS 05 Release Note
SAP Note 2955475 - SAP HANA 2 SPS05 Revision 052.00
SAP Note 2423367 - Multitenant database containers will become the standard and only operation mode
SAP Note 2469025 - How-To: Upgrading to SAP HANA 2.0

We will install HANA database through SWPM. So you need to have the SAR file IMDB_SERVER20_052_0-80002031.SAR available along with SAP HANA  Client IMDB_CLIENT20_006_54-80002082.SAR

After S/4HANA and HANA Database are installed please follow SAP Note 2600030 - Parameter Recommendations in SAP HANA Environments for parameter recommendations. This note contains check scripts which detect SAP HANA version, SAP product installed, etc. and give specific parameter recommendations.

TIP: Please change the log mode if you don’t want to be spend time on log maintenance: 

In HANA studio –> Configuration –> global.ini –> persistence and set the parameter log_mode to overwrite. 

When you change the log mode, you must restart the database system to activate the changes. 

It is also recommended that you perform a full data backup. You can also set the log_mode to ‘overwrite’ 

using the following SQL-Statement:

ALTER SYSTEM ALTER CONFIGURATION ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') SET ('persistence', 'log_mode') = 'overwrite' WITH RECONFIGURE;

STEP 3: SAP S/4HANA INSTALLATION USING SWPM

TIP: You don't need to extract the backup zip files S4CORE105_INST_EXPORT_*.zip. SWPM tool will extract them into /usr/sap/HDB/HDB02/backup/data/DB_HDB. Ensure sufficient space of 100GB is available in this folder.

We will use the procedure for SWPM+SUM combined installation and you don't need the SYSTEM/DDIC password from backup Database/ABAP instance.

Extract the SWPM SAR file as below

sid-hdb:/ # cd /install 

sid-hdb:/install # /sapmedia/SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SWPM20SP07_0-80003424.SAR

You should get message at the end of this that SAPCAR: ... files(s) extracted

Execute SWPM to do system copy with backup restore as below:

sid-hdb:/install#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_ACCEPT_INTERNAL_SIGNATURE=true  SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1001046298_2020107_.xml

TIP: At this point if you get the screen below: Please refer SAP Note 2510478 Data unit /xx/xx/xx/SWPM is not signed with an official SAP signature.
SAP Note 2600047 - SAPINST_SLP_MODE=false and SAPINST_USE_XML don't work together

I started with command:   ./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_ACCEPT_INTERNAL_SIGNATURE=true SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1001046298_2020107_.xml

Hi Mahesh ,

Excellent step by step guide ,thanks for your efforts to make  installation easy.

[ANESyWALID]

Good morning,

I thank you for this practical summary, which was summarized in all its stages.

My greetings

[budi]

Hi Mahesh,

Follow your guide to implement the S/4H 2020 FPS 00, the installation is completed but when tried to implement SAP notes 2937677 there's manual instruction to implement the notes that need to use transaction code BRF+ to open the BRF+ workbench URL, but there's no configuration etc. tried to enable the services as well with SICF but got 503 services unavailable, etc.

Is there a guide on how to properly configure the BRF+ in the installation?

[mahesh_sardesai]

Hi Budi,

Commodity Pricing Engine (CPE) is part of Commodity Management Product which needs separate licensing. Note 2937677 is released for CPE customers only. To provide your better support, As mentioned earlier, Please create a ticket and share your licensing details for Commodity Management Product.

For further clarifications please get in touch with your assigned SAP Executive.

[dominik_wittassek]

Hi there!

It is very annoying, that the contents of S4CORE105_INST_EXPORT* are extracted to /hana/shared/<sid>/HDB<inst>/backup
instead of using the value from global.ini "basepath_databackup" which I configured during the parameter phase.
My /hana/shared has only the size that is needed for operation which should be 60GB.

Is the any parameter I have to change to avoid that?

Cheers,
Dominik

[mahesh_sardesai]

Hi Dominik,

Thank you. This is the reason I have forewarned with the tip IN STEP 3 before you get error.

You can try setting up link.

• Mahesh

 

[dominik_wittassek]

Yes, but why should I waste that much space?
I moved the Exports to our backup share and mounted it to /hana/shared/<sid>/HDB<inst>/backup and hit "Retry".
Then it worked.

 

[Sapienstar]

Dear mahesh.sardesai ,

thanks for the detailed info.

 

I am trying to install S/4HANA.

I have SAP HANA installed in its host and trying to install S4 Server on another host.

In HANA Database (2.0 SP 5) there is no tenant database yet.

I am getting error in SWPM in step:

SAP HANA Database for SAP System. Apparently it is not able to access the HANA Database in port 30013.

When I connect to HANA Database from hdbsql:

Connected .... @localhost:30013.

When I connect from HANA Studio nameserver for SYSTEMDB is listening on port 30001.

When I check on OS level:

# ss | grep 30013

apparently there is no service listening on that port.

 

Do you have any idea what I might be missing here?

[mahesh_sardesai]

Hi Albin,

With the new SWPM you do not need to install HANA database in advance. You can let SWPM do it , you only have to provide the file location. If it is possible for you to cleanup and try this way it may work.

• Mahesh

[mahesh_sardesai]

Hi Dominik,

Just to clarify........  By setting up a link you are not really wasting space, the extracted files are stored in one place only and you only setup a pointer. Let me know if I missed anything.

• Mahesh

[former_member183707]

Hi,

if you are installing hana 2.0 sp05, there will be tenant DB get auto created for single host installation as well. (1 system,1 tenant).. look like you have missed something,

& 30013 is sql port for tenant.
