SAP ERP (w. ORACLE) Installation on Debian

27/01/2011 [D_A] Linux, SAP, SW, Tehniline, 1

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

• SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 installation Export (51033500_1 – 51033500_6)
• SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 components (51033525)
• BS2005 SR3 Installation Master Linux on x86_64 64bit (51038621_8)
• BS 2005 SR3 Java Components (51033526)
• Oracle 10.2 Client (51033272)
• NW 7.0 SR3 SP14 Java based SW Comp. (51033513_1 – 51033513_4)
• NW 7.0 SR3 Inst. Mst. Linux x86_64 64bit f. Oracle 10.2/11.2 (51040125_7)
• NW 7.0 SR3 UC-Kernel 7.00 Linux on x86_64 64bit (51033508_9)
• ORACLE RDBMS 11.2.0.2 LINUX x86_64 (51040095_1 – 51040095_6)

• SAP Solution M. 7.0 SR4 Java Comp. (51033521_1 – 51033521_4)

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.

ADD. SW for SAP Installer

• J2EE 1.4 SDK (For some reasons needed by Installer – Discontinued by Sun): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/download-141771.html
• Java Cryptographic Engine library (For Java 6): Main page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Download: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jce_policy-6-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer

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:

1. Select system
2. Enter java Packet location (for me it was 51033513)
3. Enter Java JDK location (for me: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/)
4. Enter JCE location (for Java JDK 6 -> JCE-POLICY6.zip)
5. System parameters (SAPSID)
6. Default password for all users (When using typical install option)
7. Database parameters (DBSID)
8. Errormessage that Debian is unsupported (Hit “Cancel” to continue – also if some parameters need fixing, fix them before. 1st option – Debian – can be ignored)
9. Media browser SW Package check (51033500 1st folder)
10. – || –  (51033500 2nd folder)
11. DB system default config
12. Path to oracle package (For 11.2 -> 51040095 / for 10.2 -> 51031676)
13. UC Kernel path (51033508_9)
14. Path Oracle 10.2 Client (51033272)
15. Path to Sapcrypto SAR (90000115.CAR)
16. SLD configuration (For testserver it was “local”)
17. (For ERP installation) SOLMAN Key
