Hi Mahesh,
Many thanks for this block. I have a question, how can I install a s4hana System without oil, insurance products ?
Hi Tatjana,
For New installation, the Optional Items you can select are shown when you select Backend System. You cannot exclude any other components.

Hello Mahesh,
I hope you are well and safe.
can you please guide me to get the correct template for Deploying SAP HANA 2.0 SP05 on SLES 15 SP03 ,Appreciate your help
I have used the template but iam getting error after modifying the template
https://github.com/AzureCAT-GSI/SAP-HANA-ARM
ERROR:
{"code":"InvalidTemplate","message":"Deployment template validation failed: 'The provided value 'SLES for SAP 15 SP2' for the template parameter 'OperatingSystem' at line '41' and column '30' is not valid. The parameter value is not part of the allowed value(s): 'SLES for SAP 12 SP3,SLES for SAP 12 SP2,RHEL 7.2 for SAP HANA'.'."}
Hi Sunil,
From the error message provided and the sap note 2932865 - SAP HANA 2 SPS05 Revision 050.00, I think that you can't deploy SAP Hana 2.0 SPS5 on SLES for SAP15SP3 "Not Supported OS Version", you have to use SP2 or lower.
Best Regards
Billel
Hi Mahesh,
I hope you doing well. Can you please share if there is any impact on Sandbox/DEV client because of importing the simplification database item for upgrade to 2021 from 1809 HANA version. Any technical/functional changes which could impact negatively.
