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.
Regards,
Kyle

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 <u>doubly rewarded</u>.
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 "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.

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 Update: ABAP Edition just released!!

Hello again everyone,
I know you've all been waiting a long time for this... So, without further ado, I am very please to (finally) announce the arrival of the Sneak Preview ABAP Edition on SDN!!
For the ABAP edition (Windows OS, that is), you need to download two big files - the ABAP installation (1.25GB) and the SAPGUI (500MB). You can find all the details and the download links on the page <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6">Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04</a>.
The Full version is still going to take some time. I'm sorry I don't have a release date at the moment, which is why I removed the "coming soon" from the info page. Please know we're working on getting it released as soon as humanly possible.
In the meantime, I hope you find the ABAP version worth the wait and take it for a good test drive. Let us know what you think and happy ABAP-ing!!
Regards,
Kathy Meyers, SDN
ps. Don't be surprised if you have long download times, especially in the first few weeks after release. We expect a heavy demand for this download, which will most likely affect server performance. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Kathleen -
Thank you very much for giving us some good news!!!!!!!!!
I am bit confused about the contents of the download though!!! Your announcement says it is ABAP only, but download page description says it also includes Java Engine and Developer Studio.
So....does it mean this Web AS download package consists of both ABAP and Java Stacks with Developer Studio?
I understand this download package is not a full edition (meaning...it does not include EP, XI, BI etc components). But is it a full Web AS (i.e., AS with both ABAP and Java Stacks).
I would greatly appreciate your clarification.
Thanks a lot.

Is a license key needed for SAP WAS 6.40 sp16 sneak preview edition

Hello Guys,
I have a basic question regarding license key. Do I have to request a license from http://service.sap.com/licensekey from sap for the sneak preview evaluation edition?
I think it is nowhere mentioned in the downloads page for the WAS 6.40 J2EE Edition.
But I was reading in couple of other posts that the system runs for only 30 mins after the first installation somthing like that. I am confused.
Please clarify.
Thanks

Hello,
read this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bb493f34-0801-0010-a3bc-ce2821492490">PDF</a> and if your system is named NSP then you can go to <a href="http://www.sap.com/platform/netweaver/minisap.epx">Licensing Procedure for the Mini SAP System</a> and get there a fresh license.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Sneak preview ABAP - Developer Key too long.

I installed Sneak preview ABAP edition and I requested the developer key, the key I have received is of 24 digits where as the size of the screen field is 20 digits. I don't know how I can get the correct key.
Thanks,

Hi Gregor,
