WAS 4.0 Preview on a 512mb RAM

I would say you are wasting your time...

Hi Ivan,

Although according to other postings some have done it on less than 512 I personally think that you are pushing it a little. That being said go ahead and try ensure that you have plenty of page file available and you should be ok.

Which install are you running? It does not sound like the SQL preview as you should be launching sapinst.exe.

Hope this helps.

Hi Benny,

Okay will try to leave my computer on overnight and see if it will work. Worst case scenario I would be in the nearest Computer shop this weekend to buy a pair of 512mb ram.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the support. I have not tried it last night since I'm already sleepy when I arrived at home. Anyway I set my windows to determine the page file and I think the hard drive that it was pointing too still has 10gig of space on it.... If that's not possible then I would say "Whoa!!! this application really requires a lot of JUICE"...

I'm running the SAPinst_SP_WAS640.exe which I downloaded from FTP.SAP.COM under \pub\sdn\sapwas\, Is this the correct file? I'm also downloading the WAS_Preview_DevEdition_6_3_Beta2.exe just incase the first one won't work.

Anyway I prefer downloading from the FTP site since I can't use a download manager from the SDN site.

Again many thanks for all the help....

Sorry Guys, It seems like I'm using the wrong (OLD) file.

I'm currently downloading the WEBAS 6.40 in this directory ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sdn/devkits/EP_DevEdition_SneakPreview/SP9

I hope I will have luck in installing this one. Anyway since I'm only interested in the WEBAS for now perhaps win XP will do.. I read in the requirements that Win 2k and 2003 are the only OS that is supported.

Just want to say.. I was very impressed with SAP installer.. it was fast and the installation is perfect.. 😊 I just followed the step by step instruction and in just a matter of 1hr or less I have my WEB AS running. I'm just using 512mb ram in my system.

Some errors encountered but it was due to my own fault.

1.) my computer name is too long.

2.) my virtual mem is set to 512mb max. so I have to let windows handle the VM.. I already set it to 1.5gb min and 2.5gb max.. just to be safe

3.) my windows firewall is on so I have to click unblock a couple of times.

Setup:

Pentium 4 2.8c

2x256mb Memory - Dual channel mode

40gb harddisck

windowsXP service pack 2.

Now that it's working it's time to play with it.. Any suggestion on how to start using this one? I'm a bit disappointed because I did not found any online administrator document.. and the default port is 9999?? I'm always used to port 80 on a webserver..

Tiest,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to get some more RAM if I have the money... Anyway what I'm planning to do it run the Developer Studio in a separate PC.. and have the WEBAS run on a separate PC. I hope this would minimize the load on the WEB AS pc. 😊

I'm excited when I go home today. I will try to work on the examples...

Thanks,

Ivan

PS.

Is the WEB AS somewhat similar to Oracle Application Server? Anyway back in 2001 I was able to setup Oracle WEBAS and back then we have like Listeners and Application Cartdrige.. I think they have also incorporated the DB in the Application Server also in 9i release... anyway now I'm back again in 2005.. now playing with SAP Web AS.. this is so cool and I'm excited in my Self Study...
