SAP Developer Edition? Need development environment w/o buying SAP!

Hi there,
We're looking to work with a client who is running an SAP based system, and in advance of our next meeting in a month we have pledged to research the SAP platforms and how to interact with them.
The client will be upgrading to SAP 6 in a couple of months so, due to both this and the fact that we have not been selected yet as the final candidate, interacting with their system is not an option.
I have browsed SDN to see if there was a Developer Edition of the platform that we could use to test with, but couldn't find anything. Could anybody point me in the right direction for either a 'trial version' (though I know this is unlikely!) or even an open test system that we could connect to via VPN to test against... or any other ideas!
Thanks in advance,
Tom Groves

Thanks Mahesh... I think my brain may not have been working properly yesterday!
I was wondering, as I am not familiar with SAP (yet!), if you could just help me determine which sneak preview I need to download from: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/77317c8d-0701-0010-f093-ed35a427f559
The client as far as I am aware is running version 4, but is shortly to upload to version 6 or something - this is to provide them with unicode support as they need to store Arabic and other languages.
If I want to simply query the data stored in SAP and utilize various business methods from .NET will the "SAP NetWeaver J2EE Preview" suffice - this contains SAP NetWeaver Application Server and Developer Studio.
Or do I need the Portal and hence have to download the Full Java Edition-Trial (or Full Java Edition2004s-Trial?!) as these contain the "SAP NetWeaver Portal with PDK."
If we can get away with only downloading the SAP NetWeaver J2EE Preview then that's better as a) we're based in Dubai Media City and traffic costs are prohibitive here and b) it would be nice to have the files downloaded today instead of having to download >5GB!
Sorry to act like a complete newbie on this, only heard of SAP yesterday, just want to get a platform up and running to test certain theories!
Thanks for all your help,
Tom

Lync Server Mirror using SQL 2012 Developer Edition in Test Environment

I'm setting up a Lync Enterprise Frontend Pool in a Dev/Test environment using two SQL 2012 SP2 Developer Edition Servers. When I try and publish the topology and create the databases I am getting this error.
System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplatesImpl.BackupToUrlNotSupported
I have not been able to find any info on this error but it would appear the it has something to do with the fact these servers are developer edition. I was under the impression that developer edition included all features of the enterprise edition. Is that
not true? Has anyone else seen this error when it attempts to create the mirror?
Thanks

SAP Community Developer Edition - Where/When is it?!

Hi There,
Does anyone have any information regarding exactly when we can expect to see the free "SAP Community Developer Edition" come out? I'm eager to start working with it.
I am referring to the edition found on this page:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/shop?rid=/webcontent/uuid/50231945-230d-2b10-97a3-d275c52b9b0a [original link is broken]|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/shop?rid=/webcontent/uuid/50231945-230d-2b10-97a3-d275c52b9b0a [original link is broken]]
Also if anyone can tell me if I'm on the right or wrong path in seeking this edition I would be grateful. I'm a .NET Developer looking into creating 3rd party apps to allow users to migrate into SAP more easily. I already have the .NET connector and the ES Explorer working, but i obviously need valid login credentials to use these tools, and I'm hoping that obtaining the SAP CDE will provide that for me.
Thanks,
Dan

I guess "the promissed non-expiry license" does not exist until now. Do you ever thought about using SAPLINK, to save your developing objects and reuse it on other systems?
If you want to develop again with a working system, just reinstall minisap and import your SAPLINK exports.

SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit - Developer Edition

Hi,
I'm using SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit - Developer Edition on which I have installed the License Key (using http://www.sap.com/minisap page). On this system I'm trying to install the BI Content 7.04, but I have some problems because I still get "no valid maintenance certificate found for system".
Is it possible to install the package on the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.02 SP6 32-bit ? What do I have to do to install this package?
I have installed the maintenance license (using SLICENSE). The is from http://www.sap.com/minisap page. After installing the new license, the status it is a green square which indicate that the licenses it is OK.
After installing the maintenance licenses do I need to do something ?

I dont know about the developer version which sap has shared but after the application of maintainence certificate you need to install that add on using saint.Thanks.

How can I connect with SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition

Hello together,
I downloaded and installed the SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition on a virtual client.
I toke a long period to finish the installation.
Now some questions to use this system in the right way:
1.) How can I get a "developer license" which do not expire? Because the link http://www.sap.com/minisap seems to be not ok.
2.) How can I connect via network with the sap system? the application server is running on a vm client with a static ip i.e. 192.168.1.5. And my laptop gets a ip in the same range. I have installed the gui on my laptop and tried to connect with the system. But it does not work! I used as application server the ip of the virtual machine. I use the gui witch is installed on the same host like the application it works (with localhost as application server adress)
3.) Where can I download the newest version of the SAP Gui? I do not have a service marktplace account? Is it possible?
4.) I read in the documentation that it should be possible to reach the sap system also with web dynpro: http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=000
But it does not work. I got an error message: Service cannot be reached
Note
The termination occurred in system NSP with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
Regards
Christian

I fixed in the meantime the second problem. It was a problem with my local firewall. But the other three points are still open.
Thank in advance for your help

Do I need to install crystal reports developer edition?

Hi,
I tried to open a CR 8.5 reports in vs 2005 and it opened up fine. But when I try to preview the report it comes up with the error
Failed to load Database information
Details:The Database DLL 'crdb_fielddef.dll' could not be found.
We have used Active Data drivers and Field definitions using ttx files in 8.5. We used the 8.5 developer edition. Will I be able to use the crystal reports for .net with vs 2005 without installing the new version of crystal reports or Do I need to install the developer edition to overcome this? I used the 10.2 version with the VS2005.
Thanks,
SS

VS 2005 does not ship with crdb_fielddef.dll, which is the lib used with ttx reports. You won't be able to preview off of a ttx file, or create a new Crystal Report off of a ttx file, using CR.NET shipped with VS 2005.
If you require those functionalities, CR XI Release 2 would be an possible option.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Developer edition download licence needs changing

Hi,
Firstly thanks for making the developer / trial versions available. It is a great benefit to the ecosystem that new developers can test and improve their skill and even share that code with things like Codexchange.
Now here is the rub and people like SAP Legal, Mark F, Mark Y and Rui might be interested in this bit:
The 'developer version' available is mentioned on http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads
That page say on the 32 and 64 bit editions:
The Developer Edition allows individuals free of charge to test, evaluate, prototype and share add-on software code on code exchange
So we click through to
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/3042391e-f06c-2e10-e2a8-8d2e2a4e711e
and then to
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/60ae136b-e66c-2e10-739f-bb82fa40292a
to actually download and the sub header says:
SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 64-bit Developer Version
but the legal licence what we are obliged to agree to says:
Provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this Evaluation License, SAP grants to you the following rights under this Evaluation License a non-exclusive, non-perpetual license to use the Software Product solely for purposes of testing and evaluation of the Software Product for the limited period specified below.
In fact the licence is identical to the licence used for the trial edition.
Nothing about a DEVELOPER version, nothing about CODE EXCHANGE and limited to 90 days.
If I was promised a developer version that I could use with code exchange I would expect this to be spelled out by the licence. I would also expect that the Developer version would NOT have to keep re-licencing every 90 days.
Could you please look into this and let us know your findings. <<Gamification text removed>>
Thanks,
Nigel

No I rarely check the Oracle site. I generally exist in the application layer.
BTW... you quoted my last line which was intended to inject some levity in the situation but my whole point is about the licence that we must agree to to download this software. It promises 'Developer Edition' but does not deliver.

NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.4 Developer Edition: SAP Server Not Responding

Hello,
im using the developer edition of AS ABAP 7.4 of CAL. When I connect (via Remotedesktop) and starting SAPGui or Eclipse ADT, I got the error message "partner ... not reached" (Error No. 10061). Any idea how to solve this issue?
I tried already to logon to the backend instance at OS level and running startsap manually. But this resulted in an error that the HDB is not running, starting HDB manually did not solve the problem either, startsap still says HDB is not running:

After more investigation I could solve the problem: The HDB license expired. Luckly I found the Getting Started Guide (by using Google) at
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d03bb795-a32b-3210-5d8c-e696152730ef?QuickLink=index&…
which explains how to obtain a new license.

Using Oracle Database Express Edition in development environment

Hi All,
I have doubt regarding the usage Oracle Database Express Edition in Development environment. I am not sure weather I can ask a non technical question here or not. Pleas forgive me if I have done any thing wrong.
I am working in an IT company where we take up projects outsourced by our clients. As part of our current project we are making some modification to a web application used by an institution. Our client is using Oracle Data Base standard edition. Due to budgetary constraints of our Company we can not set up a Oracle standard edition data base in our development environment.
So would it be illegal if we use Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment? We can guarantee that only our internal development team which comprise a maximum of 10 people will have access to this development database and this development data base will never be opened to our Client for their business purpose(Who have their own Oracle standard edition in their environment). As part of the project we delver only table DDL script and stored procedure to our client and they put it in their environment.The sole purpose of a internal Express database will be development only.
Could some one please tell me if it would be violation of license agreement if we install Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment.

Hi Paul,
Actually I have already gone through the Oracle Technology Network Developer License Terms for Oracle Database 11g Express Edition . But was not quiet clear about the content. It says in the license terms that "We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs for: (a) purposes of developing, prototyping and running your applications for your own internal data processing operations". Does the term "your application" includes an application we are developing for another company. Since the Express database is installed in the development environment only and is not opened to any one else not even for Our client it definitely falls under the term "internal data processing operations" right?

Cant find 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP8 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP8 [Developer Edition]'

I have successfull installed and been running 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP5 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7 [Developer Edition]'
In my CAL-account I have seen that 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP & SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 SP8 on SAP HANA 1.0 SP8 [Developer Edition]' has become available.
Searching 'AWS Marketplace' with 'SAP HANA one' only brings up the version (SP5-7) I already have installed. How am I supposed to proceed to install the latest version (SP8-8)?

It wasn't removed. I and at least one other person reported it as abusive, because it contains just a link. I think after three reports, it's automatically hidden until the moderator rejects it permanently, or releases it. In this case, it was released.
Now, why did I report it? Well, the common view (obviously not shared by the moderator here), is that posts like that
1) Indicate the original poster (in this case you) could have searched for yourself to find the same link
2) Damage the site as a whole, as you end up with just a whole bundle of links from one place to another and no real content
3) Encourage posting of FAQ
My experience is that quite often the link isn't in fact relevant, and is just the result of the first hit of a keyword search using google. In this case it was relevant - but couldn't you have searched and found it yourself?
In the areas I moderate, posts that constitute a single link are rejected as a matter of course. See this blog for a full and complete discussion: Posting links and the jungle you end up in..
