you cannot install SAPGUI on Linux, you must use JAVAGUI.

but if you have a Windows PC and want to connect to your BW instance that resides on linux, then yes, you can use SAPGUI. I would use SAPGUI 6.40 with latest patch level.

software is located at ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/compilation5

patch is at ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/patches

hope this helps.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the good info. I have one more doubt,pls clarify........

I have found few exe files in service market place ,

DETAILS:

-->SAPsetup for SAP GUI 6.40 patch 23 and 24

-->SAP BW AddOn Patch patch level 12.

My Question is ,Is it enough if I install "SAPsetup for SAP GUI 6.40 " patch 24 or is it tht i shud 1st install exe of patch 23 and thn run exe for patch 24 .

Have found another exe which says "AddOn" patch ->SAP BW AddOn Patch patch level 12 . Pls suggest how to go about it.

Thanks in advance,

Praveen

use my links:

software is located at ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/compilation5

patch is at ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/patches

in summary you need to download and install these components in this order:

1. ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/compilation5/50078731_4.zip

2. ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/patches/gui640_26-10001615.exe

3. ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/win/640/patches/bw350_12-10001615.exe

so, you install SAPGUI, patch SAPGUI, patch BW add-on from SAPGUI.

about your 23/24 patch question, you only need to install the latest, so, that would be patch 24 in your case... but you should install the latest one which in patch 26. use my links!
