Unable to install SAP NetWeaver 7.51 AS Developer Edition in OpenSUSE #ABAP_Trial

[askmallik]

Hi all,

I have followed the newbie guide on installing ABAP AS 7.51 SP02 Developer Edition from the SAP Blog post here.

But unfortunately NPL installation was unsuccessful.

I have scanned through answers.sap.com for possible solutions.
I have followed the system requirements to the specification.
Made sure all steps including uuidd, libaio, firewall (disabled), ssh, hostname, hosts, install.sh(permissions) are configured properly.

The only difference in my installation is that I'm using OpenSUSE Leap 15.0 Beta.

My error logs are:

ERROR 2018-03-02 05:49:41.665 (root/sapinst) id=ind-rel.ind-os.ind-db.assertionFailed errno=CJS-00030

Refer to trace file sapinst_dev.log for further information.).

I will try again with OpenSUSE 42.3

I understand reading it can get a tedious task when such a huge number of users are facing the same difficulty. But any help will be appreciated.

Hi Abishek,

Some other users have reported this error. Try the following:

1. Check your HW:

• Required: At least 8 GB RAM plus about 8 GB swap space
• Recommended: At least 16 GB RAM plus about 8 GB swap space
• About 100 GB free disk space for server installation
• About 2 GB free disk space for client installation

2. "I have resolved the issue with Login failed

To fix the issue, follow finals steps in the SAP note 1706410:

goexec sp_addexternlogin SYB_JSTASK, sapsa, sapsa, '<new sapsa password>'

go "

3. Check your ASE license validity.

Let me know how you get on.

Best wishes Julie.

Hi Abishek,

Solution:

Username in openSUSE Linux virtual machine mustn't contain language specific special characters, eg äöü .

Can you please check this?
Thanks Julie.
