SAP Netweaver 7.01 trail on a dual boot MacBook Pro

Hello, I would like to know if SAP Netweaver will work on a MacBook Pro. I am planning to dual boot  Windows 7 basic using a software called Bootcamp which is native to Mac OS X 10.5
System Spec :
Model Name:     MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:     MacBookPro5,1
  Processor Name:     Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
  Number Of Processors:     1
  Total Number Of Cores:     2
  L2 Cache:     3 MB
  Memory:     2 GB
  Bus Speed:     1.07 GHz
*I have two Questions  :*
1) Will SAP Netweaver 7.01 trail work with Windows 7 32 bit basic edition ?
2) Are the system spec above sufficient to run SAP ?
Thank's for your time.

I'm having lots of problems installing SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 on my MacBook with WinXP Pro SP2 running in Parallels.  I have allocated 1 GB RAM to WinXP and changed the Paging to 4096 MB which is the maximum.  I have over 150 GB allocated to the C: drive.
I also changed the number of processes to 1.  I am assuming that the change to the C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW701\AS-ABAP\ADA\CENTRAL\inifile.xml file will do the trick.
      <fld name="migmonJobNum">
        <properties>
          <property name ="doc-long" value ="
Number of parallel Migration Monitor jobs." />
        </properties>
        <strval><![CDATA[1]]>
        </strval>
      </fld>
I tried to continue the old installation that I had to stop since it had taken more than 12 hours on the Phase 12 of 27 - Create Database Schema step.  If this does not work (this is my third hard time trying to do this after having to uninstall),  I think I will get VMware and just install this on the Windows 2003 Server if I can't get this working on XP.
Since you were able to get it working on XP, technically, I should be able to even though it's running in Parallels.  There must be a way to monitor the MaxDB database activity to see why the Create Database Schema is taking so long.
Thanks for you help in advance,
Jay

  • Time Machine makes full backups on dual boot MacBook Pro

    Since installing Lion alongside Snow Leopard, Time Machine insists on backing up everything on the Snow Leopard side (around 190GB) and a large portion of Lion (around 35GB) each time I run it from either partition to a 2TB Time Capsule.
    When I first installed Lion I just backed up everything from there but then discovered I couldn't restore files that belonged to Snow Leopard, so I started backing them up separately, and that's when the real trouble began.
    Any ideas as to what to do? Should I back up each partition to a completley separate HDD?
    Ivo

    I have since devised my own workaround - one that I call CrissCross.
    Since I have 2 Time Capsules - one for the MacBook Pro and one for a G5 Tower - I set it up so that each partition on the MBP backs up to separate TC's while the G5 shares one.
    Not really a fix but it works beautifully

  • Problem installing SAP Netweaver 7 ABAP trail - Reboot Dialog Box prompts

    Hi,
    i was trying to install the SAP Netweaver 7 ABAP Trail version. i successfully configured the Mslookup Adapter.
    After that, when i click the installer, it checked for the java virtual machine and then prompted the following message
    The installer had to update some MicroSoft runtime libraries.
    For correct operation, a system reboot is required. Do you want to reboot now?
    i choose yes and then it rebooted. Then again when i start the installer, it asks for reboot. If i click no, it terminates the installation. I'm fed up with this.. Can someone help me out of this ?
    regards

  • My 2010 15 in. 2.66 Ghz i7 dual core macbook pro randomly shuts off and reboots

    I am a student at a college, and I recently bought a used MacBook Pro from the computer store which is part of a 4 year turnaround program when Faculty get new machines. It is a 2010 15 in. 2.66 GHz i7 dual core MacBook Pro, and I have had it for almost 1 week. After I got it, I installed Office 365 and Microsoft Document Connection. Almost immediately after doing this, and when I opened a Office application, it shut down. So I thought that installing Office 365 was somehow causing the computer to shut down. But over the past week, I've had maybe 3 more random shut downs including when all Office applications were quit and thus inactive. They were pretty rare, so I actually thought it wasn't such a problem because they didn't interrupt my work too badly. The screen suddenly goes black with no warning, and then immediately without me doing anything the computer reboots to grey screen, apple logo with languages / licensing stuff, tells me I shut down my computer due to a problem do I want to return to the screen I was on with all my stuff on it?, I say yes and it quickly goes to the desktop with everything I was working on pulled up.
    So I didn't mind too much until last night, when it shut down twice within rapid succession of one another. Shut down, reboot, within seconds of me clicking on mail or whatever, boom, shuts down, reboots again. That was annoying. Then this morning, I wake up, open my computer to do work, BOOM shut down 1, open again, try to work, this time I'm using Safari when boom shuts down again time #2 within 1 minute of last shut down, then BOOM shuts down A THIRD TIME this time within 5 minutes of the last shut down. But still 3 SHUT DOWN/ REBOOTS in 10 minutes. Needless to say this is extremely annoying. Also, these last three times it has been on Battery power, but last night it was plugged in, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Also, my computer was fully charged (or almost) this morning, so it's not like it's on really low battery or anything like that.
    I checked this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5044196?start=30&tstart=0, and it seems like I may be having kernel panics due to a defective NVIDIA graphics card. How do I tell what is causing these shut down cycles? How do I get it fixed? Also, needless to say, this MacBook is 4 years old, and I am not the original owner / purchaser, so I'm sure it's out of warranty. Does anyone know how much this will cost me at the Apple Store?

    ggp057,
    it could be due to the NVIDIA GPU defect in the 15-inch Mid 2010 models. It might also be due to faulty RAM. Do you know whether it has its factory-installed RAM, or if the RAM had been replaced? The GPU defect can be confirmed by making an appointment at your nearest Apple store to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro. Yes, it’s long out of warranty; the diagnostic test should be gratis, but if the defect is present, it typically costs a few hundred dollars to remedy (it involves a logic board replacement).
    Did you also receive the two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro? Among other things, it has your model’s Apple Hardware Test. If you didn’t receive them, and the computer store is unable to provide them to you, then you can purchase a replacement pair from Apple. The Apple Hardware Test includes a RAM test, although it isn’t able to detect all possible RAM problems.

  • Dual Boot,XP Pro Ok but Win 98SE cannot boot

    I have a dual boot system, with 2 primary partitions, and bootmagic installed.  My boot disk is on raid 0 on the raptor drives.
    Installed Win 98SE first, than created second primary partition, installed win xp pro.  Installed bootmagic on 1st primary partition, so can dual boot.
    XP installed and running without any problem.  XP runs fine with either ACPI enabled or disabled.
    For Win 98 SE, with ACPI disabled, with USB enabled, system hangs while booting up.  If I disable USB, I can boot to win 98 SE.  During initial install, the first drivers for my board was the Intel INF.  I suspected the board and brought the board to local tech support.  They showed me that they could install win 98 SE without any problem.  Board, cpu, hsf and rams were the mine.  They used a single hard disk and a single CD Rom.  Therefore, cannot RMA board.
    I am suspecting that because I am using the Promise and Intel Raid, more irqs had to be shared and XP Pro could handle that but Windows 98 SE cannot handle that.  I only have three add on boards, the Storm 2 DV editing card, ATI AGP graphics card and a V.92 modem card.  Nothing else.  I tried to do some fiddling in the bios for the IRQs but does not help.  The only way to boot into Win 98 SE was to disable USB.  
    Could someone give me some pointers on what I could try out further?
    Thank you.

    I had rewritten the information regarding my problem and added in more detail and sent it out to MSI.  Hopefully, they will respond (quite unlikely) .  Here's it:

    XP installed and running without any problem. XP runs fine with either APIC enabled or disabled.
    For Win 98 SE, with APIC disabled, with USB enabled, system hangs while booting up. If I disable USB, I can boot to win 98 SE but my Intel Gigabit Ethernet will have an exclamation mark.  Getting newer drivers and Intel INF did not help.  During initial install, the first drivers for my board was the Intel INF. I suspected the board and brought the board to local tech support. They showed me that they could install win 98 SE without any problem. Board, cpu, hsf and rams were the mine. They used a single hard disk and a single CD Rom. Therefore, cannot RMA board.
    I decided to disable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet in Win 98 SE.  After that, I looked into the properties and realized that some memory allocated for the Intel Gigabit Ethernet are being used by other system resources.  If I disable Serial Comm Port 2 and enable USB in bios, I can boot into windows and drivers detection for USB will proceed until it gets to “ Intel ® 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller – 24D7 “ and hangs my system.  I cannot check if the problem is caused by IRQs or Memory allocation.  
    I am suspecting that because I am using the Promise and Intel Raid, more irqs had to be shared, memory allocations were more demanding and XP Pro could handle that but Windows 98 SE cannot handle that.  When I try to do some tweaking in Windows 98 SE properties for the Intel Gigabit Ethernet, I was prompted that I cannot make changes.  I guess the board, at bios level, fixed all the irq and memory allocations and so Windows 98 SE cannot make any changes.
    Anyone can advise what I can do within the bios so that I can do further tweaking on memory resources allocation?  I know that I can do something on IRQ and DMA but seems nothing can be done for memory allocation.
    Hope one of you have some helpful information.  

  • Trouble dual-booting Mac Pro after moving - Boot Camp

    Here's the story: My wife and I just moved a few miles away, and I transported my "late 2005" Mac Pro carefully on the front seat, on its side. Upon arrival, I am having great difficulty booting up.
    Generally, I dual boot into either Snow Leopard or Windows XP. Here's what has been happening since the move:
    I boot holding down the Option key. At this point, I have mouse movement, but no activity on the screen for about 5 minutes. When my hard drive options finally appear on the screen, (mouse movement is still normal at this point), or I can Left/Right Arrow between the two operating systems... no problem. However, as soon as I either click on the desired icon, or hit the Enter key, the mouse freezes on the screen and stays that way for perhaps 10 minutes or so before Mac OS starts up. Then operation seems normal.
    But when I try booting into Windows XP, it spontaneously reboots into the Boot Camp screen... again very, very slowwwwly.
    Has this ever happened to you? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your time and experience.
    Eddie

    Begin with this:
    Mac Pro came out in Aug 2006, so the fact you run Windows, you have later than any Late 2005 (which referred to PowerMac and G5s)
    Normally I would travel with the hard drives in boxes, removed.
    XP and also Windows 32-bit any version only offers 1.9GB usable RAM.
    Depends on where XP is, on the same drive as OS X? or on its own?
    Try check the drive is seated tightly.
    Run chkdsk
    Boot XP CD
    Clone Mac OS? so you have an image if needed.
    Same goes for XP.
    And if you set XP as the default boot OS?

  • Dual-Boot Macbook

    I'm trying to dual boot OS X and arch on my macbook, but whenever I try and boot into arch I just get a "Missing Operating System" error that I can't seem to fix. Any ideas?
    EDIT: I think it's a problem with the way refit is syncing the gpt/mbr partition tables. Is there an alternate way to do this?

    So, I have a new error...
    "Non-System Disk. Press any key to reboot."
    ...any ideas? =/
    EDIT: Solved. Moved Grub to the root partition of arch.

  • Dual Boot Mac Pro 10.6 + Linux

    I have snow leopard + centos 5 dual-boot setup on a new Mac Pro. There is one problem --- when a user logs onto the mac side, they are prompted to initialize, or ignore the ext3 partitions. This is because snow leopard can't read the ext3 partition. If the user clicks initialize, it will attempt to destroy the linux partition.
    I tried adding the partition UUID to /etc/fstab with the noauto flag but that does not work probably because 10.6 can't see the UUID.
    diskutil info /dev/diskXsY does not output any UUID for the linux partitions so I can't specify the partitions in fstab.
    I also tried specifying /dev/disk[X]sY noauto but [X] changes after each reboot. It 'fixes' the problem for approximately 50% of the time.
    Any suggestions? Thanks for any input. 

    My son the debian geek insists that rEFIt is the only way to get this to work on one drive. It is not an accident it has "EFI" in the middle of its name.
    I understand it keeps up the GUID illusion Mac OS X wants and also maintains the old-fashioned  partition tables unix wants to see.

  • Kernel panic when auto switching between dual graphics, Macbook Pro 17 (8.3 / Lion)

    Hi guys,
    I was wondering if you might be able to help me with an issue I'm having. I reciently bought a new 17 inch Macbook Pro 8.3 that came pre installed with Lion. Ever since I first started it up (before I installed any apps that aren't incuded in Lion) I've been having constant but random kernel panic attacks. I've been in contact with Apples support agents and even talked with their senior agents but they haven't been able to assist me. The problem report looks like this:

    I'm fairly technical but this is overkill even for me. I managed by googling "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED" to find a japanese blog that helped me fix the problem but it's only partially solved. I'm not getting any kernel panic attacks by switching of the integrated graphics under "Energy Saver" in system prefs but instead getting decreased battery life as the computer is constantly using the dedicated graphics card. So in other words when I untick the "Automatic Graphics Switching" the problem is gone.
    I always get the same report and it doesn't really matter if I'm pushing the machine to it's limits or just writing something in TextEdit. When speaking to Apples support advisors they implied that it's most likely not hardware related but software related. I personally think that it's most likely the driver related and could be fixed by modifying the AppleGraphicsControl.kext file but I can't be sure. I've never modified a kext file before and feel a bit uncomfortable doing it without any assistance.
    Could anyone please give me some advice. It would be sincerely appreciated.
    Thanks
    PS. Forgot to add that I've reinstalled Lion several times, reset SMC, PRAM, etc. None of that worked.

    I had to send my MB Pro to an authorized apple service provider where they ran diagnostic tests on it and concluded that it was the logic board (motherboard) that was as seeehr germans would put it "kaput". After they replaced it with a new one and re-did the tests everything worked fine. So in my opinion waiting for a SW update to fix the issue one would have to wait an eternity. Just let the technicians take a look at it and they'll most likely replace the logic board or the entire computer depending on what makes most sense for them.
    This is not a software glitch but HW. The only reason one does not experience this in bootcamp is due to no automatic graphic switching in windows. It only runs the dedicated GPU and never switches to the intergrated Intel HD3000 GPU.
    Hope this gives you some clarity.
    PS. I asked the technician if he could give me a detailed explanation in regards to which part of the GPU / logic board was causing the issue but he couldn't answer that question.

  • CS4 on Dual Core MacBook Pro...Unknown Recording Error?

    Hello! I am getting the "Unknown Recording Error" when I capture from my Analog-DV Bridge. It will record for a few minutes, then give the error. Recording quality for what it does record is perfect. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Use Scenalyzer for DV capture.

  • Dual monitor - Macbook Pro

    Hi.
    I am really enjoying my Mac with an additional monitor. However, under some conditions, such as using a graphic application, it would be better to have the external monitor to be the main monitor. I have not found anywhere a setting that would allow this. Is this by design or is there a way to get the bigger monitor to be the main monitor regardless of the application.
    Thanks very much.
    Farzad

    Yes, there is a way to do this. If you open Display Preferences, under the arrangement tab you will see that there is a small representation of the menu bar showing on the MBP's LCD screen. Click on and drag the little menu bar to the other display and it will become the "primary" one.

  • Ps3 dual shock MacBook Pro

    Anyone have any luck at all pairing a Playstation Dualshock 3 to a MacBook Pro Retina running osx 10.8.2? I can get it to connect and add it to my favorites but the controller will not function with Call of Duty Black Ops that I bought from iTunes.
    What am I missing or is this even possible? Is there a different controller I should be trying instead?

    Try pressing the PS button for 2-3 seconds with Bluetooth on and discoverable before you plug into your MB. When the lights flash, plug it in and press the PS button for 2-3 seconds again. You may need to open System Prefs and click the settings cog below your listed devices in the Bluetooth pane. Once the controller is recognized, click the settings cog and click "add as favorite" & "update services". It should auto pair now whenever you press the PS button when BT is on. I play Borderlands 2 on my 2011 MBP with a PS3 controller. It was a huge chore to find the solution but, heres what I did. Purchase Joystick Mapper, open it, have the controller on. In the menu bar under File, click load examples. Theres a bunch of pre-defined settings for both the PS and XB360 controllers. Some for using as a mouse, First Person Shooter, games that use keys & mouse and so on. I pulled the PS3 FPS example and cloned the example as to not delete the original. Labeled it Borderlands 2 and turned down the sensitivity on the Axis'. They were way to touchy for me. Its not perfect for me yet BUT, it works completely. The Use or E button is actually the Left D-Pad but, its not that odd. It also will give you a good idea on how to do it for other games. Just make a profile for each one. Clone that and then tweak it to your liking. Good luck!

  • Dual boot with Windows 7 and LINUX - Tecra A11 (PTSE1A-00L005)

    Hi,
    I bought a new Tecra A11 Laptop which runs WIN7 Pro. I want to install LINUX also. That means, I want to run my laptop in dual boot Win7 Pro/LINUX (any distributor). Please tell me how to do that.
    There are 5 partitions on the HDD:
    1. Active, Recovery partiton 1.46 Gb (no drive letter)
    2. Active Primary C: Boot 145.04 Gb (NTFS)
    3. Active Logical E: 78.13 Gb (NTFS)
    4. Active Logical F: 64.25 Gb (NTFS)
    5. Primary Partition 9.2 Gb (no drive letter, application unknown)
    Hey, I need it badly, because I have admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)
    Please help me

    Hi
    I may not be able to give You a step-by-step explanation but most distros today offer a possibility to co-exist with Windows.
    During the installation the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!!)
    What exact setup is needed by You is impossible for anyone else to say, but I would suggest to make the space occupied by the F drive available for Linux.
    You seem to have space enough for Windows and the Linux OS does not need much.
    Some thoughts concerning your partition setup:
    I would NOT touch 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and some system internal partitions (recovery environment and data) and would not be fun to lose.
    1. Active, Recovery partiton 1.46 Gb (no drive letter)
    2. Active Primary C: Boot 145.04 Gb (NTFS)
    3. Active Logical E: 78.13 Gb (NTFS)
    4. Active Logical F: 64.25 Gb (NTFS)
    5. Primary Partition 9.2 Gb (no drive letter, application unknown)
    So pick a Distro (my suggestion Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse - Fedora will be the one closest related to RedHat) which will guide You through the steps to allocate space for Linux.
    I would suggest however to remove the drive F in Windows so Linux does not start resizing all partitions.
    I am sure that will work fine, but will just take time and the pretty unnecessary F drive will most surely be kept.
    If You already have valuable data on your unit, make sure to back it up!! No software comes with warranties :)
    Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a recovery set with the help of Toshiba Recovery media creator BEFORE you start installing Linux.
    If something goes wrong You might want to have the possibility to put the unit back into factory state.
    Good luck and keep asking if You need additional help!
    Tom
