Sneak Preview Full Edition Availability & System Requirements

Can anyone tell us authoratatively when the Full Edition (Java + ABAP) of the NW04 Sneak Preview will be available? And equally importantly, for planning purposes, what the minimum and recommended system requirements will be?

In the download area you can get the Full Netweaver (ABAP + Java) for Linux. This has been available for a little while.
Now, what you are asking is the same I've been waiting for: the Full version for Windows.
I had expectations that it would be far down the road, but since the version ABAP was released today, I feel like we may get it soon.
I suggest you keep watching the forums and visiting SDN regularly (like me). An estimate release date will come out sometime soon.

Sneak Preview "Full Edition"

Hey Folks,
I thought that the Full Edition contains the App. Server for JAVA AND ABAP.
Now I see that it only contains ABAP. If I will run both, Java and ABAP, do I need to download and install the Full Java Edition and the full ABAP Edition?
Or contains the Full ABAP Edition Java, too?
I remember that in the past there was the Info at the download page that the Full Edition contains Java/ABAP and will coming soon.
Thanks!
so long!
Stephan

I have heard that people have been successful in loading the ABAP system as well as the java system on to the same machine. Currently, these are seperate installs. SDN has mentioned, that a ABAP/java sneak preview is on the way. The full java stack and the full ABAP stack are available on the download page.

Uhmmm what happened to the Sneak Preview Full Edition with Java AddIn?

Anyone knows if the anouncement of the new Full ABAP edition 2004s is also the silent dead of the Full edition with Java stack add-in? It has mysteriously disappeared from the page...

No

Sneak Preview ABAP Edition just released

The Sneak Preview: ABAP Edition is now available. Kathy just announced it in the forum: Sneak Preview Update: ABAP Edition just released!!
The link to the Sneak Preview stays the same: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6
Basically this is a "slim" or "mini" ABAP installation with a compressed database component, comparable to the "slim" Java version. It's supposed to run with a minimum of 1GB but 2GB RAM is recommended.
Feedback on this edition, like the others, should go in the SDN Code Sample/Download forum (Software Downloads).
Cheers,
Marilyn

It would be really awesome to see the community weigh in on their experiences with this installation.
I'm going to suggest that we find a way to reward participants for doing a good job of sharing and documenting their experiences with the installation.
One idea would be to give a "double point" allocation.
That means that good content contribution (articles, blogs, detailed forum posts in a separate marked thread) that articulates the substance of what a downloader does in the course of the new ABAP Sneak Preview installation: tips and tricks, installation guide details, observations and detailed opinions, will be doubly rewarded.
Hey, this is a very time consuming activity, as I am experiencing myself at present.
Thoughts?

Sneak Preview Slim Edition and SLD

Hi,
I've installed the Web AS Sneak Preview Slim Edition (corresponding to SP11) that is available at SDN. But when I tried to start the SLD accessing http://localhost:50000/sld the message "resource does not exist" appeared. The url above is definitely correct - other administration frontends, e.g. useradmin, are reachable. Seems that SLD or at least SLD administration is not included in the slim edition. Is that true? And if so, is there any possibility to update the missing parts?
Thanks
Barbara

Hi,
Gregor, thanks for your reply. As a consequence of the Sneak Preview Slim Edition limitation concerning SLD, I tried to install a Web AS 6.40 SR1 installation, downloaded from service marketplace. Things started wonderful, but eventually, in step 21 out of 22, the J2EE engine failed to start. I found this error message in startJ2e.log:
running C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\exe/sapstart.exe name=J2E nr=00 SAPDIAHOST=blnn0050 -wait
SAPSTART finished successfully on blnn0050_J2E_00, but at least one process doesn't run correctly:
C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\exe/sapstart.exe=>sapparam(1c): No Profile used.
Has anyone an idea how to overcome this failure? Which profile is missing and how to get it? Manual start using MMC does not help.
Thanks,
Barbara

Update sneak preview Java Edition to SP13 or SP14?

Has anyone updated the sneak preview Java Edition (incl. EP 6) to SP13 or 14?
I have trouble installing SP13 (The installation of the Sneak Preview was smooth.).
Here is what I have downloaded and did. I found 4 SP groups for EP6 on Sap services:
- CM+Collaboration
- IGS (where SP12 seems to be the highest version)
- J2EE engine
- Portal platform
I have started with the update of the J2EE engine to SP13.
Unfortunately it hangs at step 17 deploy online.
Do I do something wrong here?
Any hints are appreciated.
Regards F.

Hi Frank,
I updated the WAS preview to SP13 and it was a total mess and 4 week loss of lifetime. Never tried to do it with the portal demo though.
If the sdm hangs try the following:
- wait 5 min, then click retry
- if it happens again wait 5 min, then click retry
- if it happens again wait 5 min, then click retry
- if it happens again wait 5 min, then click retry
(no joke)
If this fails it will be most likely that your DB has run out of log space. The SAP system usually honors that with freezing without any apparent reason or log output. A colleague of mine has escalated this more than one week to SAP Support and event they didn't figure it out.
Try stopping the install and the sap system. When the sdm process keeps hanging and the DB will not shut down you are 99% likely to have the log problem. Get the win mysql DB manager, login to your db (default pw: control/control) and go to configuration->log volumes. Set the log strategy to "overwrite" (on test systems) restart and it should work.

Peter

Sneak Preview Slim Edition

Does this edition contain Enterprise portal ,KM and Coll.Please reply.Thanks.

Hi Pankaj,
The Slim edition does not contain EP, KM & Collaboration. It contains the SAP Web AS and NetWeaver Developer Studio and is really - as it's name implies - kind of a NetWeaver "lite" version with much smaller download file and less memory consumption.
However, the Java edition contains these additional components you mentione - and, I'm happy to report, it's back online again!
Check it out with this link (make sure you're logged in):

Sneak Preview -- "Normal" Edition

Hi,
can you tell me where the differences are between the Sneak Preview Version of EP and the Version you can buy? Apart from the license of course ;-).
Thanks!

Gesche -
My personal experience shows the following differences:
1. License (as you noted)
2. Database availability
3. Encryption - the Sneak Preview version often works with weak encryption versus the strong encryption that is available in the standard version.
I'm sure that there are about a dozen other differences that other SDN folks will be more than happy to elucidate.
The net net - the standard version is different than the Sneak Preview version.

Kyle

NW04s full version Sneak Preview (java): License check failed

I've seen similar posts, but not exactly the same thing.
I installed the Sneak Preview Full Edition (Java), and finally installed it today. It shuts down after 30 minutes with an error from jcontrol.exe - the license check has failed.
It's not an expired license (I just downloaded it this week, and installed it today).
I've seen several posts related to using the Visual Administrator to manipulate licenses, but I haven't seen how to start this tool - there are no instructions I've found that are any more detailed than "start the Visual Administrator".
I feel like I'm almost getting it. Can anybody provide me that missing link?

Finally got it going properly.
I adjusted my system clock to fall between the licence dates found in Visual Administrator and restarted the system.
It didn't work.
I uninstalled the sneak preview edition,
Set the system clock to 15/Dec/2005,
Reinstalled the the sneak preview edition.
It did worked this time.
I was surprised by the licence dates in Visual Administrator.This time that the start date was set properly from 15/Dec/2005 to expire on 15/Mar/2006.
However in the first installation,the licence dates are
from Nov/05 to May/06 which is 6 months.
This time i got the licence from Dec/05 to Mar/06 which is 3 months.
I observed 2 differences between these 2 installations.
1) After my first installation, while the jcontrol.exe is still starting some processes, I tried to login to VA couple of times unsuccessfully. In my next attempt to login to VA, it asked me to change my password and I did change it from abcd1234 to something else.
When I changed my password, may be jControl.exe didn't pick it up instantly and tried to use some services using the old password which might have caused the problem.
2) In my second installation, I changed my system date to 15/Dec/2005.So.. to prevent any sort of automatic date synchronization, I've disconnected the internet connection.
This time the installation date was taken into consideration by the installer to create the licence.
It is still a mystery to me why the licence date was set to some old dates in my first install.

New Sneak Preview Downloads?

Hi,
Today i navigated to the SDN Downloads page and noticed that the Sneak Preview Full Edition is now available in two parts. Earlier the downloads were available in four parts.
I have already installed the Sneak Preview which was available as four part download.
What i wanted whether there are any changes in the two part download or its just that everything has been clubbed.
Please do let me know.
Regards
Sidharth

everything clubbed and this is SP16 and the one you have donwloaded earlier is SP15.

Dear all
i tried to install "Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 2004s SAP Web Application Server 7.00 on MaxDB" on Windows XP SP2 , korean edition.
at the beginning it was okay.
however on the "importing ABAP" stage, it shows the error.
I linked the screenshot and attached "test_MIGKEY.log".
According to "Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 2004s System Requirements",
Operating System:
Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1) or Windows Server 2003
is this because of " XP SP 2"?
( I could manage it on Windows Server 2003 korean standard edition)
Do i need to activate (or run ) MaxDB manually ?
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards
David

Sneak Preview NetWeaver 04 now available!! - now REALLY available

I'm pleased to announce that the new Sneak Preview NetWeaver 04 is now available to download on SDN! The sneak preview will be available in four different editions. The first two editions focusing on Java development tools are available now. They are called, conveniently enough, "Java Edition" and "Slim Edition" (slim, as in smaller package with less memory consumption and a few less features).
Java version is back online, sorry for the inconvenience! **
Two more editions will be added to the Sneak Preview in the coming weeks, also conveniently named "ABAP Edition" for the ABAP development environment and the big "Full Edition" with additional SAP NetWeaver components to evaluate.
So, need I say more? Why not check out the Sneak Preview yourself and try your hand at developing applications with SAP NetWeaver. Read these details before you decide which one you'd like to try (make sure you're logged in!):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/downloads/evaluation software/sneak preview netweaver 04.htm
While you're doing all this, let us know what you think! Join a discussion in this forum or start your own discussions, post questions, help others with their questions if you can. Your feedback on this sneak preview will help improve the quality of the final product!
Thanks for reading - now go download!

Message was edited by: Kathleen Meyers re: availability of Java edition and added link to download page

Could be one of a few things.
1. We had to take the "Java" edition offline temporarily. It should be back up later today. IF you tried to access it, this might be why you cannot download.
2. If you are having a general problem accessing our FTP server for downloads, perhaps you can check whether your (company) firewall allows FTP access. If it does not, perhaps you can see whether you can change your firewall to allow for the SAP.com domain. See: Can't download, Company firewall accept NO FTP access
3. Also, during times of high traffic, it may be difficult to download the larger files we offer as the FTP server has a limit to number of parallel sesions. You might try to download during a different time of day.
If none of these apply, please explain in more detail why you cannot download.
Thanks,
Kathy Meyers, SDN
