2.5 Preparation

Media Download and extraction

Step

Action

Download SWPM tool

Download the latest SWPM tool.

Download Export and HANA Client DVD

Installations and Upgrades – S” SAP S/4HANA ON-PREMISE” SAP S/4HANA ON-PREMISE 1511

Download RDBMS DVD

Installations and Upgrades – H” SAP HANA PLATFORM EDITION” SAP HANA PLATFORM EDIT. 1.0

Extracting the media files:

Follow note 886535

Unrar is required for these other platforms (Linux, Solaris, AIX, Tru64, HP-UX).
The command:
                    unrar x <archivname(exe-file)>
triggers the unpacking process. The data is unpacked to the current directory. The command
                    unrar -h
displays further options.

There will be four files extracted (two exe and two .rar).

Do not create folder separately for the 4 files. Use the following command for the two .exe files one at a time (no need to run the .rar files) from the original path of the files. The .exe files will extract the corresponding .rar files and create the folder accordingly.

      Hello Rajat,

      Thank you for sharing with us the nice document. I have  installed the S/4HANA on premise edition 1511 and later on upgraded it to FPS01. 

      In your Post Installation steps you have not mention any thing related to Fiori configuration. Have you reinstalled a separation Netweaver Ssstem for FIori Front-end or you have installed on the same instance.

      I am trying to install the Fiori Front-End on the same instance where my S/4HANA instance is running but in Maintenance Planner it is not allowing me to select that option.

      Kindly let me know if we can install the Fiori Front-end on the same instance.

      Regards

      Rajesh

      Is it possible to add instructions on Firewall setup for SUSE Linux.  Also can you add instructions for username and password for first time use for SAPGUI?
