SAP ERP (w. ORACLE) Installation on Debian
NB! This HOWTO should be taken on principle “as is” – I will update it as I will encounter any new problems or knowhow’s. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL HOWTO nor a installation manual)
Installation SW used:
Debian 6.0 for X86_64 – Squeeze (unstable)
- Netinst USB image: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/ )
- Small CD image: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/cdrom/
SAP SW from http://service.sap.com

For unpacking those packages UNZIP would be required – however if you are as lazy as me – wanting to use craphical extractor for .exe files, then “wine” is needed.

Debian conf.
Debian has been installed on testserver with GUI and configured to use RAID5 for 4 – 300 GB disks and act as a web server with X.
As Debian is unsupported for SAP installation, I have searched the interwebz for a solution. Following know-how’s have I found to do pre-installation of SAP.
Some howto’s from:
- “Setup SAP ERP 2004 SR1 IDES on Debian Sarge with Oracle“
- How to install Oracle 10g (Full 64 bits version, not XE)
- Oracle10g on Debian Linux HOWTO
For ORACLE 11G:
- Oracle Database 11g Release 1 on Debian sid HOWTO (Has helped me wery much)
For reasons unknown the installation of SAP ERP 7.0 does not interract wery well with ORACLE 11.2 – Does give correct directions and instructions how to complete – but when ORACLE 11.2 is installed – does not recognize it.
So trying with 10g again…
UPDATE: Sadly my current SAP installer used – does not find nor link ORACLE 11g (No errors on Installing 11g tho…)- When i used 10g with little help of “Oracle 10g on Debian 64bit (32 bit as well)” – ORACLE installation was success. Please note that current SAP installer, used by me – needs higher ORACLE patch!
Installation steps:
- Select system
- Enter java Packet location (for me it was 51033513)
- Enter Java JDK location (for me: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/)
- Enter JCE location (for Java JDK 6 -> JCE-POLICY6.zip)
- System parameters (SAPSID)
- Default password for all users (When using typical install option)
- Database parameters (DBSID)
- Errormessage that Debian is unsupported (Hit “Cancel” to continue – also if some parameters need fixing, fix them before. 1st option – Debian – can be ignored)
- Media browser SW Package check (51033500 1st folder)
- – || – (51033500 2nd folder)
- DB system default config
- Path to oracle package (For 11.2 -> 51040095 / for 10.2 -> 51031676)
- UC Kernel path (51033508_9)
- Path Oracle 10.2 Client (51033272)
- Path to Sapcrypto SAR (90000115.CAR)
- SLD configuration (For testserver it was “local”)
- (For ERP installation) SOLMAN Key
