OPEN SOURCE LINUX FOR SAP IDES ECC6.0 WITH SAP MAXDB

[Former Member]

HI

  we are planing to install SAP IDES ECC 6.0 with  database as SAP MAX DB, on an open source Linux server OS.

I need help to understand what all are my available options in Opensource/Freeware Linux OS Server. Which is the better option for SAP installation.

Regards,

Hi Shravan,

You can install SAP ECC6.0 IDES Version with MAXDB Database on the following Linux Operating Systems:

1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5/6 (Architectures: IA64, Power, x86_64)

2) SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (Architectures: IA64, Power, x86_64)

My IDES ECC6 EHp6 is running on Oracle - SuSe 11 x86_64.

For details you must check PAM here => https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/support/pam/pam.html?smpsrv=https%3A%2F%2Fwebs...

Hi

Thanks for the replay. we are planing to installing it on centos or ubuntu. because we are not installing oracle as a db. i know oracle performance is nice in linux .  so that's why u didn't get any problems . when we installing maxdb as db on Suse Linux it will give some problems. performance is very slow. i read this info from a blog long back. what is ur suggestion?

regards

Hi Shravan,

I suggest you to install centos OS because is a clone of red hat linux.

I've installed many sap products on red hat and all were fine.

I recommend to read the document that will guide you at installation

Hi Shravan,

Before start a new sap installation you must checking sap product compatibility at PAM ( Product Availability Matrix ) :http://service.sap.com/sap/support/pam

There you can check all supported OS that are allowed to sap product.

As far as I know somebody installed sap products at OS linux open source releases but sap will not support in case of failure/incidence .

By the way check it out this document will help you: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-15862
