There are many tutorials over the internet about installing SAP IDES installation, but most of them are missing some details. In this tutorial, I will try to put all the information that you will need for installing SAP IDES on fresh Windows Server 2008 R2 OS install without a need for any technical knowledge. As I already wrote earlier, without system, it will be impossible to develop your SAP skills and knowledge. The smaller one will be for Windows OS, SWAP file and DB Software. The second one will be for SAP Software and DB Instance. I recommend you to install a pure ABAP stack instead of JAVA + ABAP because it will be lighter and in the same time is sufficient for FICO training. There several important steps in the installation: I. Change the Computer name II. Create SWAP Space III. Install Oracle RDBMS IV. Java SDK install Optional V. SAP ERP EHP6 IDES VI. SAP GUI Install I. Change the Computer name less than 13 characters : To change it, you will need to go to advanced system settings. Change the computer name. If you try to change the workgroup, the system will need a restart. Then set custom size at least 20 480 MB. Enter the drive letter in which you want to install the Oracle software. It takes around 30 GB HDD space. Enter three characters for the name of the SAP Instance. For this demo, I will uncheck the wish to receive security updates. Install everything which is set by default. You should logon again where SAP installation will continue automatically. If the SAP install asks for prerequisites checker, click next and mark the flags as on the next screenshot Choose following options: Choose database type: Leave next screen as it is by default: Click Next till the prerequisite checking starts. After finishing if you have a warning about JAVA SDK ignore it and proceed with the installation. It will be requested when you start SAP Instance. In next several steps choose the right folders with related packages necessary for installing: Try with Export 2 or Export 11 on following screen: Oracle parameters. Leave it by default. Import ABAP step will take around 12 hours. The whole installation took around 20 hours on the hardware described above. SAP GUI Install Next step is to install SAP Graphical User Interface or also known as SAP GUI. You will find SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for JAVA. You will find SAP GUI for JAVA packages for MAXC OS X, Linux, Windows, etc. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and setup SAP GUI for Windows. Enter IP address of the SAP Server. Usually, it is 00. Enter SAP SID that you defined earlier during installation Leave SAProuter String blank except you know what you are doing :.

Thank you again neel Hello Emiliyan, Congratullations for sharing this helpful article with us. I downloaded SAP ECC v6. Is this because my operational system is Windows 10? Regards, Renato Hi Emiliyan, I bought the Windows Server for a good price… But I can? And to install this new one it is gona to delete all my installed programs… I think I have to disable Driver Signature Enforcement at first as well… Please, can you tell me how did you manage these issues when you installed yours? Hi Emiliyan, Sorry for so many questions of this type but I had to take my laptop to a professional to install new network, audio and video drives… I intend to use this laptop not only for studying but also for working. The guy I left my laptop told me that it can not be so simple to find a video driver for this Windows Server… Are you able to have a video call through e. Is it easy for you to find what drives you use in your laptop? Thank again for all your support, Regards, Renato. Hello Renato, I really recommend you not to install Windows Server 2008 R2 on your laptop directly. Use Virtual Machine like Vmware Player or VirtualBox installed on Windows 10. Regards, Emiliyan Hi Renato Luiz Pereira, If you still want to use windows server 2008. I think this is best solution for personal computer. Because if you have licensed of Software or OS and it was actived by Hardware Key. Use Virtual machine will keep safety licenses. Move from computer to another computer is very easy! Better when you want share for your friends. You need only convert to. OVA to install on others Vmware Workstation. Hope useful for you! Regards, Tpan Hi Emiliyan, My laptop was fixed and everything is working well now just with Windows Server. The layout appearance is a little old-fashioned but it makes no difference. But now when I tried to install SAP IDES again the Oracle installer is saying that the operational system version must be 5. That my current is 6. Maybe is because Windows Update upgrades? Please, what do you think? And this is my solution, hope useful for you. If you install sap on windows server directly and another computer use same on LAN network.
