SAP ERP 6 - IDES Installation

SAP ERP 6.
0 EHP6 IDES Install on Oracle

and Windows 2008 R2
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 without a need for any technical knowledge. As I already
wrote earlier, without access to real SAP ERP IDES system it will be impossible to develop your SAP
skills and knowledge. If you read this tutorial, you probably have access to following software packages:
OS: Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
DB: Oracle 11g
ERP: SAP 6.0 EHP6 IDES ABAP Stack
GUI: SAP GUI 7.*
I am going to install it for this demonstration on following a laptop with following characteristics:
CPU: Core 2 Duo T8300
RAM: 8GB
HDD1: 80 GB 7200 rpm (64 GB used including 25GB SWAP, Oracle DB Software and Windows)
HDD2: 750 GB 7200 rpm (249 GB used for SAP & DB Install)
Usually the bottlenecks of every SAP system are the HDD and Memory. Thats the reason I wanted to go
with two HDDs which will allow me to divide the load at least on two physical drives. The smaller one will
be for Windows OS, SWAP file and DB Software. 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 major 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. The easiest ways is to write system
settings in the windows task-bar.
Click on View advanced system settings.
Go to tab Computer name and hit Change. Change the computer name. If you try to change the
workgroup too, the system will need restart.
II. Create at least 20 GB SWAP Space

Go Again to advanced system settings, click on Advanced, then click on Performance, then again on
Advanced and hit Change. Uncheck the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives. Then set
custom size at least 20 480 MB.
III. Install Oracle RDBMS

In the RDBMS package folder, go to subfolder \database\SAP and start sapserver.cmd as administrator.
Enter the drive letter in which you want to in which drive you want to install the Oracle software. It takes
around 30 GB HDD space.
Enter three characters for the name of the SAP Instance. e.g. ECC
Configure Security Updates

Set email if you would like to receive additional information about security issues. For this demo I will
uncheck the wish to receive security updates.
Download Software Updates

Enter your credentials or skip the updates:
Installation Option
Leave it by default:
Grin Installation Options

Product Language
Choose if you want another language other than English and click next:
Database Edition:
Click Next & Next and then Install button.

IV. Install Java Runtime JAVA_HOME (Optional Step for ABAP Stack)
For ABAP stack it is no required to install JAVA SDK, but it is recommended.
Download and install j2sdk-1_4_2_-windows-amd64.
Install everything which is set by default.
Go to C:\ and find the new folder where the java is installed:
Copy the full path
Go again to advanced system settings:
Choose advanced tab and open the Environment Variables:
Click on New, enter a variable name and a path to the java folder.
Find the Path variable and add following in the end.

:%JAVA_HOME%\bin
V. Install SAP ERP ECC IDES

Go to Installation Master Folder, click on the sapinst file, run it as administrator and choose the following
option:
Choose typical:
Click OK
The windows will log off. You should logon again where SAP installation will continue automatically.
If the SAP install ask 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 warning about JAVA SDK ignore it and proceed with the installation.
Enter the SAP SID
Unmark Set FQDN for SAP System if such is marked initially:
Fill initial master password for the administrators users in SAP ERP SAP* and DDIC users:
Enter passwords for Windows users which are created during 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.
Kernel NW 7.20 SL Controller
DAA leave it by default:
Click yes on DAA window:
Mark No SLD destination
Installation begins. Import ABAP step will take around 12 hours. The whole installation toke around 20
hours on the hardware described above.
VI. 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.
a) Start installation with executing SapGuiSetup.exe
*Depending on the package that you download, you could have different files
Click on Next
Mark SAP GUI for Windows and click on Next
Choose different folder or leave it by default:
The installation will start after confirmation and it will probably take around 15 minutes.
b) Setup your SAP GUI and connect to your SAP ERP IDES server
Start SAP Logon Application.
Create New Connection
Choose Next
Enter IP address of the SAP Server. You could also enter localhost if you installed SAP GUI on the
same OS/machine as your SAP ERP IDES.
Fill Instance Number in following field. Usually it is 00.
Enter SAP SID that you defined earlier during installation
Leave SAProuter String blank except you really know what you are doing :).
Here is how my setup is look like when I am installing SAP GUI on the same OS as the SAP IDES Demo
Server.
Double click on the connection that we configured:
On logon screen enter Client 800 (Main client for FICO).
You could enter with following users and related passwords.

user: idadmin / password: ides
user: sap*/ password: (defined during installation)

user: ddic/ password: (defined during installation)
I hope you will like the tutorial. It became a little longer than expected, but I think it cover everything that
you will need to install SAP ERP IDES with Oracle DB on Windows OS. Do not use this tutorial for
production usage! If you have question, do not hesitate to comment below. Enjoy SAP ERP IDES and
have fun while learning :).
