SAP ECC 6.0 IDES?

[Former Member]

Hi

I am discovering ABAP with the book "discover ABAP". I´ve downloaded and installed Netweaver ABAP trial 7.03. Thats ok as long as I want to lear ABAP. But I also wanted to see and try production system and here comes a problem - where to download a proper version? Is it ECC 6.0 IDES EHP4? Cos I don´t have permission to enter the SAP market place. Is it free of charge or do I have to pay for such trial version?

I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Many thanks.

Good morning Lukas

SAP IDES system is a system (similar to productive ones) with all modules (FI,MM.CO,PP, etc) and with sample data and customizing for the consultants to exercise. The Netweaver ABAP trial 7.03 you mentioned is only for learning ABAP and does not contain any modules.

The latest available version of IDES is SAP ECC6 EHP5.

It is available through SAP service but only for SAP customers (installation disks) and not necessarily through SAP Authorised Training center .

Hope it helps.
