Any news on Sneak Preview (ABAP or JAVA) working on Vista yet.

Hi there
anybody got the latest ABAP or JAVA netweaver preview version to install on Vista.
I'm still running it under VMWARE on XP.
I also want to load up the JAVA version but this needs a lot of resources so running this on another VM might be too much.
Running native on Vista on an 8GB RAM machine might be better if it works.
Cheers
Jimbo

Can we still get license updates for the ABAP trial already downloaded
Sure! You can still request license keys for previous releases

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 ABAP NW04s license expired

Hi,
I havenu00B4t been using the SNeak Preview ABAP 2004s system for a month. Now I want to use it again, but the license expired at Oct 17. I put the system in back date, i.e. Oct 16 to be able to connect with the system and I tried to install the new license, which I got from SAP Developer Network.
My problem is that I am not able to install the new license. The expiration date is 20070221 because I got the new license, but when I try to install it, the system hangs and after a while I get a Dump.
I start the system with nspadm user and I also tried with c:\usr\sap\NSP\SYS\exe\nuc\NTI386\saplicense -install, but it was impossible too.
Please, can anybody give me an answer for this? Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

I finally resolved my problem yesterday. That is the answer. I did exactly what you mention now: to try and try. I don't know what happened, but when I insisted it worked !
Anyway, Thanks a lot to all

I figured out we need ADS for SAP NW2004s Sneak Preview ABAP. Moreover we need a Java engine also.

GUI Server Process Error when installing NetWeaver 2004s Sneak Preview ABAP

Hi,
I've downloaded the SAP NetWeaver 2004s Sneak Preview ABAP and tried to install it. As adviced in the Installing guide I installed the SDK first. When starting SAPinst.bat I get pretty soon this error - what can I do to solve this problem:
Thanks for Your help,
Markus
SAPinst is getting started.
Please be patient ...
starting gui server process:
sapinstport: 21200
guiport : 21212
command : "C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin\javaw.exe" -cp "C:/DOKUME1/MARKUS1/LOKALE1/Temp/sapinst_exe.3800.1156381700\jar\instgui.jar;C:/DOKUME1/MARKUS1/LOKALE1/Temp/sapinst_exe.3800.1156381700\jar\inqmyxml.jar" -Xmx256M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true SDTServer config=jar:sdtserver.xml guiport=21212 sapinsthost=localhost sapinstport=21200
The process that should run the GUI Server could not be started.
Please make sure that a JDK is installed on this host and that SAPINST_JRE_HOME points to the root
directory of your Java installation. As an alternative you may start the GUI Server on another host
(for details please consult the installation guide).
103 controller.errorStartingGuiWindows 1580
Exit status of child: 1

Hi,
I've stored the folders and files into root drive and installed jdk 1.4.2.08 - still the same error messages.
What strikes me:
'command : "C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.5.0_02...'
Why 'jdk1.5.0_02'? My installes version is 1.4.2_08!
I don't know if my environment variables are right. I'm quite a JAVA dummy: I suppose these variables are to be set within the SDK? Which variables should I check (and how)?

BW reports (BEx Reports) in Sneak preview ABAP version

Hi All,
Is it possible to display the BW data in BEx reports with help of Tr code RRMX in Sneak preview ABAP trail version.
When i try to run Trcode RRMX system says Please install Excel as viewer..
Please let me know , how we can display data.
Regards.
Hari

Hi,
May be your SAP GUI, BW components are not installed. Reinstall SAP GUI and select BW checkbox during installation. Also you need to have ur excel macro setting (tools->macro->security) as either low or medium.
check this note: 160995-BEx Analyzer: Excel Add-ins interfere at the start.
If you are in 7.0, you need to unstall your front end and reinstall the 7.0 front end.
You may troubleshoot using below link

Hope it helps.

Sneak Preview ABAP - Password for Database Manager Operator Control

Hello All , My first installation 'SAP NetWeaver 2004s Sneak Preview ABAP' was aborted where I did supply the password for Database Manager Operator Account : Control . When I am trying to reinstall , the installation fails and it comes back with a message
' The check of the control user password failed . Check logfile XCMDOUT.LOG '.
I think I am supplying the correct password which I entered originally .
Thanks
Rajesh Kapoor

hi there,
the default password for control is control.
According to about threethousandfivehundredandtwelve postings in here your problem might arise due to the usage of special characters in the password, e.g. a +(plus).
What do the last few lines of your XCMDOUT.LOG read?
regards,
anton

Sneak Preview Update: Full Java Edition is now available on NW04 SP15

Hi SDNers,
Here's something that might make your new year more interesting... We just released the SP15 version of the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6">sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver: Full Java Edition</a> on SDN.
This version - like its SP11 predecessor - includes the following components:
- SAP NetWeaver Application Server (Java)
- SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
- SAP Enterprise Portal
- SAP Knowledge Management
- SAP Composite Application Framework including Guided Procedures
- Interactive Forms based on Adobe Software
Note: We've updated the system requirements and installation instructions, so please take the time to read through the information carefully.
You'll need to download 4 rather large files with this release (total approx. 5GB), so your patience is required! Especially in the beginning when everyone is trying to download at the same time, expect that the server performance will suffer. You might try downloading at off-peak hours to avoid the rush.
Please post your questions and comments about the Full Java Edition in this discussion forum and we'll try to get you an answer as soon as possible.
Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Sneak Preview ABAP 2004s: Problem with HTTP-Server

Hi..
I have just installed the sneak preview.
Everything works well.
But there is a problem with the webdynpro
for abap. When i try to start the example
i become a message: "Windows can not find
://:/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wdt_quiz ....... "
This error is from the HTTP options.
In transaction SMMS over extert functiuns->http->display
the parameter http_status_code is -1.
Can anyone help me what i can do?

when you go into transaction SMICM->go to ->services you should atleast see one entry for HTTP
it will be something like below.
No. Protocol Service Name/Port Host Name Keep Alive Acti External Bind
1 HTTP 1081 xxxx.domain.com 30
i dont think that for this reason , you have to go for a reinstall, i am sure some config is missing.
Regards
Raja

Hi Peter,
Note 851251 gives some info about SAPInst 701. It does
show the same problem that you got(but after
installation), and tells to ignore it. This error usually
occurs on UNIX systems because either "DISPLAY" variable
is not defined or the root user has memory allocation
problems.
