Regarding SAP on Linux

Hai Dear Virtuosos,
I am Farooq, just joined TULIP IT SERVICES LTD., Delhi as a ABAPer. This company has just implemented SAP & I am the only SAP guy for this company. I have a bit trouble at work as I am alone & no senior or any one else on the same Platform. Also I want to do some courses to enrich my skill set. Can any one let me know if How useful it would be to learn Linux OS working in ABAP. Does SAP run on Linux Systems??!! Plzzz let me know the Pros & Corns of learning Linux working on SAP 'coz still I have to grow a lot as ABAPer primarily.
Thanks.
Regards.
Farooq

SAP ABAP engine can run on Linux, different kind of Unixes and Windows.
ABAP is designed to be a platform independent, so apart from some small part of OS or DB specific part, ABAP syntax is same in every platform.
If you use files on server side, you have to respect the directory separator \ or /. If you optimize performance you have to keep in mind which DB you use.
So I'd suggest to enroll an ABAP course instead of Linux.

How to add License Key For Integration Tool kit For SAP in Linux Server

Dear Experts,
We are Using BO XI R3.1 SP3 Enterprise Version ,Integration Tool Kit For SAP,Live Office.
The Server is Linux Server.
But while generating reports in Infoview it is giving error like ""_check that you are licensed to access SAP Data Source_".
So we came to know that license Key might Expire for Integraton Tool Kit For SAP in Bo Server.
So can you tell me how to add the license key For BO XI R3.1 SP3 Integration Tool Kit For SAP in Linux Server.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat

On Unix / Linux you should be able to leverage the response from Raphael and change:
Location＝%BOBJDIR%/bobje/data/.bobj/registry/software/business objects/suite 11.5/sap/keycode/.registry

Running SAP on Linux and HP-UX

Hi
We are planning a new installation of ERP 6.0. The solution architect is advising to install the DB on HP-UX running oracle RAC, and to install the SAP application on a seperate server running LINUX. So the SAP kernel will live on a LINUX server and the DB will live on HP-UX server.
Does anybody know if there are any issues in doing this. Has anything been documented around performance etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Hi
This is an interesting question, personally i wouldn't mix platforms if it isn't necessary, even if you can keep your SAP kernel on linux. So it would be interesting to know, why your solution architect is suggesting such an installation. Lets look at some questions, they might guide you to the critical points:
- Besides the database are you going to implement SAP high availability? If yes, how?
- How are you going to do your filesystem backups? Do you have a backup environment which covers both hp-ux and linux?
- What is the reason to have SAP on linux and not simply have hp-ux instead?
I am convinced these questions are worth thinking about. So far i installed RAC within a homogenous linux environment with integrated enqueue replication. I also setup systems with database/ci on hp and linux application servers. But i did not mix that so far
Regarding performance: my experiences showed, that RAC is never faster than a single instance installation as long as you can buy a database server big enough, but with RAC you get high availability and you can scale on low cost hardware.

Help regarding SAP SCRIPT

Hi!
can any one help me regarding SAP SCRIPT. i unable to write a print program for sap script . can any one can send me sample code using ITCSY structure.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regads,

Hi,
refer this to write print program:
The Print Program
Structure of a print program
OPEN_FORM function
CLOSE_FORM function
WRITE_FORM
START_FORM function
END_FORM function
CONTROL_FORM function
The print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase
tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and
selects an output device and print options.
Function modules in a printprogram:
When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine
forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.
To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed,
is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you
can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.
To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.
Structure of a print program
Read data
Tables: xxx.
SELECT *
FROM xxx.
Open form printing - Must be called before working with any of the other form function modules.
Must be ended with function module CLOSE FORM

form using START_FORM, and end it using END_FORM

New SAP note: "Linux: SLES 9/10, Problems with libuuid"

<a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1065860">#1065860</a> - Linux: SLES 9/10, Problems with libuuid
You can find a list with more notes related to SAP on Linux in the SDN Wiki: SAPonLinuxNotes

thanks for the quick fix. but after we started installing the new client 6.30rev10 on the first user machines, complaints started coming in rather fast ->
it seems that in certain windows that tab-key doesnt work properly anymore. it doesnt jump from entry field to entry field anymore.
example -> transaction fb50 (Enter G/L account document)
in the fields at the top (date, reference currency) the tab works as expected.
but down in the details... it doesnt work at all, the cursor is simply gone. you have to click with the mouse in to each field to enter data.
we started with a clean settings file, tried various preferences settings in the client. no luck.
also it seems that in the preferences of the client "auto select text in insert mode" doesnt work anymore. no matter what is set there, when using the insert mode, the text is not selected.
these problems appear on machines running 10.3.9, but it doesnt matter if the Java Security update from earlier this week is installed or not, the same effect.
hmmm, did i miss some setting somethere to get this working again?
thanks

Does Sap Supports Linux

Dear Masters..
Please Let me Know Does Sap Supports Linux OS other than XP
Zubair

Hi Mohamed
From the SAP Portal:-
The application supports the Microsoft SQL Server database. Additional system requirements are Microsoft Windows Server (2003 R2, 2003 SP1), Microsoft Windows Business Server (2003 R2, 2003 SP1) and Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (standalone installations only) as well as Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Professional (workstation platforms). The application also supports Microsoft Office (2003 SP1, 2007 und XP SP2). Further Windows operating systems will be supported in the future. The open architecture of SAP Business One will integrate with SAP Business Suite, as well as other independent software vendors, allowing companies to realize the extensive benefits of SAP from the largest division to the smallest subsidiary.
So it seems that Linux is not an option at present

Using SAP with linux platform

HI Experts,
How well is to Use SAP with linux platform?I checked in internet but i couldnt get a satisfactory result.DID someone who have installed the same can advise me about the performance.
(80 gb hd , 1 GB ram).
(I asked this question bcoz , when i tried to install the same my sound card is not working .)

Hi,
There are many things that you need to consider before you think of installaling SAP on Linux
1. version of Linux- SAP does not support every version lf Linux
2. Hardware- again SAP does not support every hardware
there are supported: Bull,Dell,Fujitsu Siemens,HP,IBM,IBM POWER,IBM zSeries,SGI,SUN,Unisys
3. RAM -SAP recommends swap memory to be 2*RAM,so you require a lot of RAM for installing SAP
Now with the config. u have mentioned it looks you want to install in u pc or laptop,but I am afraid this will not be enough!!
you will not be able to install SAP with this config.Let me know if you need any other info.

Dear all
how monitoring the sap through linux/unix,
venkat

- For S.O. monitoring (CPU, Memory, etc) you can use linux program "system-monitor" .
- For SAP monitoring (User,Process,Trace, Dump, etc) you can use the same transaction for any S.O. (SM21, ST22, SM51, etc)

Hi Rohit,
it seems, this is a error of the R3Setup (because of the XÉ à'   MByte). Do you use the latest version of R3Setup of 4.6C? By the way, check your filesystem, where your database software will be loacted for sufficient space.
