Sap Demo environment in a box?

[Former Member]

Hello.

I'm looking for a very easy sap demo environment in a box (single server / vmware image). It's not to show a lot of sap backend related features, we only need to connect with sapgui / browser to show something.

So I'm looking for a

1. ECC 5 with some data to show /PO /SP /GR55 for example.

Not a lot of business stuff. Only to show one transaction with excel integration

2. Enterprise Portal.

Should be possible to import an iview and show some other EP default iviews. Don't need business data in the portal.

Is there a way to get something like a preconfigured Portal + ECC? Also a automated installer with a demo configuration would be great. Do you know a partner who can provide something like that (germany)

Thanks in advance.

I assume that you know about the Netweaver sneak previews. You can install both the ABAP side and the java side. You can then use the "Flight" model to do your demo. Yes, this is not real business logic as in ECC 6.0, but it will get the idea.

Hello.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Our problem is, that we are not basis expert. So we have not a lot of skills to install an configure sap systems. So we need something we can just turn on out of the box.

We have to show sapgui and the browser (enterprise portal)

Because we are very focused to the client side of sap. We only need a small backend because the client can not run without a backend. And we want to show very simple things within the sap system (PO / gr55 because of the excel integration)

The sneak previews will be you best bet. It really doesn't take a genius to install either of them. First install the ABAP side, then install the java side. There are some weblogs which will walk your thru the entire process. And if any problems come up, most likely they have been seen before and solved right here on SDN. Just search the forums.

With these systems, you will be able to demo the Excel integration(transaction code DWDM) as well as the portal frontend.

Hi Danny,

just to give you an overview: A 'small' vmware environment has a footprint of at least 80 GB. Additionally there has to be an OS in there (license?).

Nevertheless something like this is on the way: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/docs?rid=/webcontent/uuid/bd85b13c-0a01-0010-1388-93ff16ef96f1 [original link is broken]

The alternative will be hosted solutions, which are also discussed at the moment.
