SAP PI Installation on Stand alone machine

[Former Member]

Hi,

Thanks to one and all for having such a nice forum as it has answer to all the questions which I have posted.

I have been given a very interesting work for anlying if SAP PI could be installed on a standalone machine without having any SAP box. My requirement is to install SAP PI tool for non SAP integration.

I will distribute my question in 2 parts

1. Can I install SAP PI in a stand alone desktop?

2. Is is important to have a SAP R/3 system to install SAP PI tool?

Please do share your thoughts and if possible please share the document which could be used as proof.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gautam,

You Desktop should have Microsoft Server 2000/2003 Version,1+ GB RAM,160 GB Hard disk system configuration enough.

Coming to instaltion,you should have PI product(may be you can contact SAP for the same) with you.

The instalation Process Will take some time(12 hours)if you not familair with installtion,better to talk with Basis people in your compnay,they should follow post inasalltion steps.

Yes we can do so....you seem to setting up a training server....in our orgamization we have an internal server for PI which is set on a desktop and is not connected to any SAP R3 system....just that people dont have acces to the machine...they should be given access to the PI components.

Abhishek.

Thanks Abhishek.

For all the information shared. Just wanted to know if one needs a seprate licence for the installing this training server.

Thanks

Yes you need a license key. After installation you have a 30 days valid temporary license. After that you have to register the system in SMP and request a permanent license key or a new temporary license key, which will again be valid for 30 days.

Hi Volkar,

Thanks for the information.

I was wondering if there is any site where I can down load the trial version. If there is any show stopper event which should be taken care.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

As far as I know for PI there is no real trial and/or sneek preview version. You have to use standard installation material to install a PI and thus you have the normal SAP license handling.

Please note that in newer versions of SAP NetWeaver there is no chance to install it on a 32Bit OS. You need a machine with 64Bit OS.
