The openSUSE Leap 15.1 Vagrant box prepared to install SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 752 SP04 Developer Edition wechris/SAPNW752SP04
The openSUSE Leap 42.3 Vagrant box can be used to create a VirtualBox instance with Vagrant to install SAP NW AS ABAP 752 SP01 Developer Edition .
All recommended system preparations are done by packer and vagrant, as described at Installing ABAP AS on Oracle VirtualBox without the proxy part.
The pre-built Vagrant Box is now avaiable on HashiCorps Vagrant Cloud:
https://app.vagrantup.com/wechris
The Packer calls are no longer necessary. If you want to create your own Vagrant Box with Packer see the optional section below.
The step D.1. sudo -i and FINALLY, we run the installation, by entering the command ./install.sh must be done manually!
On OS X VirtualBox and Vagrant, is available via Homebrew on Windows via Chocolatey.
OS X:
$ brew install virtualbox
$ brew install vagrant
optional:
$ brew install vagrant-manager
Clone the reporitory wechris/SAPNW752SP01.
Download and extract the TD752SP01.partXX.rar files to the folder: ./sapinst
The actual download (in the form of several .rar files), along with more information, is available here:
./sapinst/TD752SP01
Vagrant
Only VirtualBox:
If the german keyboard is not desired, comment the following line in the vagrant file
# config.vm.provision "shell", path: "install/changetogerman.sh"
If the gnome desktop is not desired, comment the following line in the vagrant file
# config.vm.provision "shell", path: "install/gnome.sh"
vagrant up --provision --provider virtualbox
Wait until the vagrant command is finished. Then restart the instance with:
vagrant reload
