Hi Faisal,
I installed this Trail version a long time ago, tried to run it yesterday but couldn't get it to work. I uninstalled SAP (By deleting the folders and removing from registry). When I tried again to install the Trail version it hangs on the 'Define parameter' stage. It has been two days since I am trying to resolve it but no luck yet. it comes up with the following error message.
An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 > SAP Application Server ABAP > MaxDB > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step :Assertion failed: Found file: C:sapdbprogramsbinsdbregview.exe But file: C:sapdbprogramspgmdbmcli.exe is missing. MaxDB Software is not consistent!). You can now:
- Choose Retry to repeat the current step.
- Choose View Log to get more information about the error.
- Stop the option and continue with it later.
Log files are written to C:Program Files/sapinst_instdir/NW702/AS-ABAP/ADA/CENTRAL/.
Could you please help me to resolve it?
Thanks,
Rizwan
Installing and configuring SAPGui
In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3, we Installed Linux Mint for our SAP system, we Configured the Linux system for our SAP Installation and we installed miniSAP on the Linux system respectively. In this concluding part, we would hit the last nail on the coffin. Our SAPGUI and SAP System would be ready for us to write our first 'Hello Beer' (Yes, Hello Beer, not Hello World) program and do some Basis Admin work.
Now let's install SAPGui, by going to our client folder.
Open the SAPGUI4Windows folder and run the installer file as administrator (right click, Run as administrator).
Press Next.
Select the SAPGui package and press Next.
Then press Close:
Now open SAP Logon, that is probably on your desktop.
Click on the New button.
Press Next.
Fill out the fields accordingly:
Description: Chose a description for your SAP machine. I went with SAPYard.
Application Server: The IP address that we obtained previously with the ifconfig command. In my case, it's 192.168.178.49.
Instance Number: 00 (Attention, these are two zero's, not two o's).
System ID: NPL
Press Next:
Now press Finish.
And double click on our machine description on the list that shows up on SAP Logon.
If you get the following error, it's because the SAP server is not running.
To fix this, in the Linux terminal, write:
2 4 | sunpladm startsapALL |
After a while, the message is displayed showing that the SAP server is running.

Now let's try again to double click the machine instance in the list of SAP Logon:
Success! We can now enter with the following credentials.
User: sap*
Password: Appl1ance
Finally. So much beer later and we are inside our SAP system! 🙂
However, there are still some things to do…

Getting a license!
First, let's obtain a developer license.
Go to transaction SLICENSE.
Here we see until when our SAP trial is available.
But don't worry, because we can renew it.
Just copy the Active Hardware Key to your clipboard (to use the clipboard in both your Virtual Machine and on your host machine, in VirtualBox go to Devices->Shared Clipboard->Bidirectional).
Go back to the SAP License Keys webpage, here.
Scroll down to NPL – SAP Netweaver 7.x (Sybase ASE)and select it.
Fill out your information below the selection:
Click on I Agree and press Generate:
A download dialog will show up. Save the file in the Shared Folder.
On SAP, press on Install New License.
And upload the NPL license file that you've just downloaded.
Delete the previous license.
This will update your license and you need to do this at least every 90 days, to keep your SAP system valid.
Stopping the SAP server
To stop our SAP system, go to the terminal and write.
2 4 | sunpladm stopsap |
If you had the SAP window running, you'll notice that everything crashed. 🙂
To run it again, it's the same procedure. But instead of stopsap you'll write startsap ALL.
2 | startsapALL |
And after a while, you can enter your SAP system again normally.

Adding a new user
This is actually optional because we can't program with this user – we have no developer key for this. To those who want to program, we'll use another username in the next section. This is a user to just explore our system. So for those that want to create one, here are the steps.
Go to the SU01 transaction.
Enter your desired username and click New:
Assign a company name.
Fill out the mandatory fields.
Fill out your first and last name.
And go to the Profiles tab, to fill out the two profiles SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW – just write that in the Profile column – which will give you the authorizations execute whatever you want.
Then go to Logon Data and fill out the initial password.
This password will only be requested once, so don't think too much about it. You'll just need to remember it once… It is common practice to use initial for these passwords. So in this case I went with initial2017.
Press Save and you have your new user. You can close this SAP session now (write/nex on the command line):
Now we can enter with our new user.
It will ask for a new password. This one you should remember, so choose wisely.
And that's it!
You can now finish your beer. We'll continue with the testing of our system after your hangover is done with you. 🙂
Making a test program – Hello Beer, of course
To develop, we need to use the DEVELOPER user with the Appl1ance password:
Go to the SE38 transaction:
For those new to ABAP, every custom program – that is, a program that is not provided by SAP, but is made entirely by us -, has to start with the letter Z or Y. So we'll name our program ZHELLO_BEER.
Write ZHELLO_BEER in Program and press Create (notice that in Subobjects the option Source Code needs to be chosen):
If it asks us for the developer key, we need to insert the following: 35408798513176413512
Write the name of the program and choose its type and press Save.
Press Local Object, since we don't have any other system to transport our developments to.
Copy the following code:
2 | write:'Hello Beer and thank you for getting me through this tutorial!'. |
Press Activate or CTRL+F3(notice that our program is still inactive, so it won't execute).
Press the Direct processing icon or F8 on your keyboard – as everyone does… (I don't know, I get the shivers every time someone presses the button instead of pressing F8 on the keyboard, but I'm not looking, so go ahead). 😀
And here we have it, your first program (or not, sorry if that is the case) running in your own SAP system.
If you want to get back into the program to make changes, press Back or F3 on your keyboard and open that ABAP learning book you've been saving for this moment. 🙂
We have provided you the Yard. Now play around… and have fun! 🙂
