Listing the SAP Systems you will install and update in this course

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to list the SAP Systems that will be installed and updated in this course

SAP HANA Database, SID HAX

The SAP HANA database HAX will serve as the database management system for the SAP S/4HANA Server system S4X, which will be installed later.

HAX will be based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) operating system.

What you will do in this training (HAX)

Install and update an SAP HANA 2.0 database using the following details:

  • Based on SAP HANA 2.0

  • SID HAX

  • Instance number 10

SAP S/4HANA Server System, SID S4X

The SAP system S4X will be installed.

S4X will be based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) operating system and on the database SAP HANA, SID HAX.

What you will do in this training (S4X)

  • Install an SAP S/4HANA 2023 Server system with the following details:

    • SID S4X

    • Based on AS ABAP 7.58

    • ABAP Central Services (ASCS): instance number 10

    • Primary Application Server (PAS): instance number 11

    • Additional Application Server (AAS): instance number 12

    • Enqueue Replication Server (ERS): instance number 19

  • Update the SAP S/4HANA Server system.

    • Use Software Update Manager (SUM) 2.0 to update S4X.

    • Use scenario strategy Standard.

SAP Solution Manager ABAP 7.2, SID SMA

SAP Solution Manager 7.2 requires the installation of two separate SAP systems, one based on AS ABAP, one based on AS Java.

The AS ABAP-based SAP system, as part of the SAP Solution Manager 7.2, will use the SID SMA.

SMA will be based on Microsoft Windows operating system and on the database SAP MaxDB.

What you will do in this training (SMA)

  • Install an SAP Solution Manager ABAP 7.2 SR2 using the following details:

    • SID SMA

    • Based on AS ABAP 7.40

    • ABAP Central Services (ASCS): instance number 80

    • Primary Application Server (PAS): instance number 81

    • Additional Application Server (AAS): instance number 82

  • Update the SAP Solution Manager ABAP system.

    • Use Software Update Manager 1.0 (SUM) to update SMA.

    • Use scenario strategy Single System.

SAP Solution Manager Java 7.2, SID SMJ

SAP Solution Manager 7.2 requires the installation of two separate SAP systems, one based on AS ABAP, one based on AS Java.

The AS Java-based SAP system, as part of the SAP Solution Manager 7.2, will use the SID SMJ.

SMJ will be based on Microsoft Windows operating system and on the database SAP MaxDB.

What you will do in this training (SMJ)

  • Install an SAP Solution Manager Java 7.2 using the following details:

    • SID SMJ

    • Based on AS Java 7.5

    • Java Central Services (SCS): instance number 90

    • Primary Application Server (PAS): instance number 91

  • Update the SAP Solution Manager Java system.

    • Use Software Update Manager 1.0 (SUM) to update SMJ.

    • There is no scenario strategy available.

You might wonder why we cover so many installation and patch variants. The answer is that each installation type (AS ABAP, AS Java) differs from the other. In addition, in this course, we use the "Custom" installation mode because it is more complex ("Typical" asks fewer input questions). For updating AS ABAP-based SAP systems in this training, you will work with SUM with two different scenarios, which are Standard and Single System, in both cases you will use the Expert Mode option. The update of AS Java-based systems using SUM does not use those categories and works completely differently.

Also we would like to point out similarities and differences in installation procedures for different operating systems (Windows, Linux) and databases (SAP HANA DB and SAP MaxDB).

The installation tool (SWPM/SAPinst) and the update tool (SUM/SAPup) will be used in different versions/releases, as required by the specific installation procedures.

The different procedures allow for studying different error situations that you might encounter during your work. Covering so many different tasks and situations prepare you as best as possible for tasks like installation preparation, installing SAP systems and patching SAP systems.

It is worth highlighting that you will earn first-hand installation experience with regard to SAP HANA DB and SAP S/4HANA Server.
