SAP BI on HANA / SAP BW 4 HANA Trial

[former_member204732]

Dear All,

Is there a way to test SAP BW on HANA or SAP BW4HANA ?

Installing SAP HANA Express 2 or with the SAP HANA Cloud platform ?

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Regards

Hi - these are are all available on the SAP Cloud Appliance Library - go to cal.sap.com - SAP doesn't charge, but you will pay some Cloud Service fees (e.g. AWS).

Hi,

You can follow Azure Cloud option which also describes the CAL usage - SAP First Guidance – Implement SAP BW/4HANA in the Azure Cloud

Best Regards Roland

Also, in the interest of customer satisfaction and full disclosure (available in T&C's of cal.sap.com), after 30 days you will need the following:

1. A valid SAP HANA license

2. A valid SAP BW/4HANA license

3. A CAL subscription (cal is intended to for easy provisioning of sandbox/test environments)

Is BODS ( BO Data services ) , S4/HANA and BW/4 HANA available as a Virtual Machine to download like HANA DB @ ( see link below) . Please advise. I own a server laptop and would prefer to use a VM to avoid unexpected cost of owning a cloud instance. Thanks.

Thanks all for your reply.

Still have some issue to predefine the cost of the AWS service to use SAP Cloud Appliance.

I my case I would like to use it for self training purpose.

Should I base the cost on the recommanded size configuration ? as example for predictive analysis 3.2

Cloud ProviderVirtual MachineSizeAmazon Web ServicesLinuxr4.xlarge (4 cores, 30.5GB memory, HDD)

Any additional feedback on this topic would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi DD

You have to get the quotes from respective service providers although the general pricing information about AWS is listed on their respective site.

Thanks & Regards
