Dear all,

Dear Jialin,

Fedora Core is not a supported platform for SAP. Technically, it might work, but in case of OS problems, where you might have a productive system down situation, there is probably anyone there you will fix the problem in a reasonable time frame. Additionally, Novell and Red Hat are testing their enterprise distributions with SAP software before delivering them. This testing does not happen with the community versions.

Therefore, the advise for passing this check is: Follow the instructions the check is telling you

Thanks,

Hi Hannes Kuehnemund,

Thank you for your kindly support. Coz Fedora also was supported by Red Hat and the core are same with Red hat even from now on, Red hat doen't support it anymore. But we still can use a stable old version for our system. The question is how to cheat SAP installation for Linux version check. I have changed related release file in system but SAP still popup the error msg proposed. Any further advices?
