2.3. Starting the System Steps for starting the Operating System (1)

Start your VMware Player and select the NetWeaver7.0-Java-VMware-TrialCTB.vmx file. The virtual machine starts automatically.

The very first time you start the image, you are asked to create a new identifier. Leave the default value “Create” and confirm.

After that the Linux System will be started and you will see the starting of some service. The SAP NetWeaver startup will take about 10-15 minutes. During this time you will see this screen, indicating the current state:

The image should take about 15-20 minutes to start. When it’s started you should see this screen:

Now write down the IP address of the virtual machine, which can be found on the login screen.

Changing the hosts file

You must now change the hosts file on the host-machine (your PC). This file is consulted at each web connection and it allows you to create mappings between domain names and IP addresses. Change the host-entry manually The file is found under: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc Open the file „hosts“ with notepad and enter the IP (here 192.168. 142.131) followed by ivml2005. From now on, all requests to the “ivml2005” on the host-machine will be redirected to the Virtual

Machine.

Start page of the NetWeaver7.0-Java-VMware-Trial

You can now access the startpage using your browser: => URL “http://ivml2005/”

2.4. Installing the license

Start the Visual Administrator from the startpage (http://ivml2005/)

Click on Connect and enter sap123 as password. You need to change you pw at first logon. Then open the cluster tree: Server0 -> Services -> Licensing Adapter

Write down the hardware key, you need this when requesting the license.

Request the license key for your SAP NetWeaver 7.0-Java-VMware-Trial by entering your data in the section http://www.sap.com/minisap/.

Click on Install license from file License is now installed.

2.5. Other Required Software Adobe SVG-Viewer 3.03

In order to run the Visual Composer Scenario, you need to install the Adobe SVG-Viewer 3.03 which is available for free by Adobe.

To download the Adobe SVG-Viewer point your browser to the website:

http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/mainframed.htmlScroll down the page until to get to the download area and install the Adobe SVG-Viewer for your operating system, e.g. Windows XP.

Click the link and click on run. Or download the SVGViewer.exe and install it locally.

Click on Run. No Setup wizard will appear. All installation steps are done automatically. The Adobe SVG-Viewer installs itself in the background.

Now enter the link below in your browser to test whether you need to install AdobeControl :

http://ivml2005:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/npi~master~adobe~agree/ConfidentialityAppClick on “install” if a pop-up appears.

2.6. Stopping the System Steps for stopping the System

After your session, you have the option to shut down all systems (server and operating system) or set the image in a suspended mode. Please notice following recommendation:

• Use the suspended mode only to boost the startup just before a session. You could do this e.g. the evening before your presentation after you have run through the scenarios.

• Never use the suspended mode on a regularly basis due to potential inconsistencies with timestamps.

A: Normal shutdown: Click on Shut Down in the login screen and give the password. The complete system including SAP NetWeaver will shut down. Wait until the VMware Player window disappears. The next time you start the image, it will be normally booted.

B: Suspended Mode: Open the Preferences in the VM Player.

B: Suspended Mode: Make sure the option “Suspend the virtual machine” is selected.

B: Suspended Mode: When you exit the VMware, the image will be suspended. The next time you start the image, it will be set to the state it was before you suspended it.

A final recommendation: Always stop the hardware (external HDD) before removing it to avoid potential data loss!

2.7. The SLES10 desktop In some cases, you will have to log in the virtual machine for administration purposes.

Login and desktop

First log in the virtual machine with the “root” username and the “sap123” password, as mentioned on the login screen.

On the desktop, you can find some useful tools to help you to :

• Restart the network ; • Check the status of SAP

NetWeaver ; • Launch the SAP J2EE Engine

Config Tool.

Restarting the network after a change in the network configuration for example (it automatically updates the IP Address shown on the login screen, if a change is detected).

Checking the status of SAP NetWeaver (green for started, orange if some processes are running, and gray for stopped).

The J2EE Engine GUI Config Tool enables offline configuration of J2EE Engine cluster elements concerning service’s and manager’s properties, adding new server processes, changing Java parameters, exporting the system configuration to an XML file, and so on. It especially enables to manage the Secure Store File, which contains the path to the secure store properties file. This file contains secure data for connecting to the database or Visual Administrator (and is encrypted for security reasons).

2.8. Additional tools for System management The SAP Management Console (SAP MC)

The SAP MC is a browser-based, platform-independent user interface providing basic monitoring and administration of SAP systems (technically, it's a Java applet running in a Java Runtime Environment on the front end host). The SAP MC allows you to monitor and perform basic administration tasks on SAP systems centrally, thus simplifying system administration. Among other things, it provides the following functions:

• Monitor and control (start, stop, or restart) SAP systems (ABAP and Java) and its instances with a single tool.

• Display SAP log and trace files, start profiles, instance parameters, the system environment, SAP environment, and so on.

• Display and control Java and ABAP processes. • Monitor system alerts.

To start the SAP MC, click on the “SAP Management Console” link from the start page.

Confirm the pop-up by clicking on the “Start” button.

You have now to add instances manually, using the push button "Add new instance".

Then you have to specify the host parameters of the SAP system you want to display. Click on the button shown on the picture. Choose the system you want to add. In our case, you will have to add the 2 instances server from the host ivml2005. Confirm with “OK”. You can try to ping the chosen system, and you should be able to see this :

Press the “Finish” button and add the other system in the same way.

You should have the same screen as on the picture. The colors may be different regarding the state of each instance (green if the server is started, gray if it is stopped and orange for intermediate states).

By right-clicking on an instance, you can interact with it (like restarting the J2EE engine for example).

You can also take a look at the Developer Trace.

The Software Deploy Manager (SDM)

The SDM is a tool with which you can manage and deploy software packages (Software Deployment Archives and Software Component Archives) that you receive from SAP.

To start the SDM, click on the “Software Deploy Manager” link from the start page.

Click on “Run”.

Click on the “Connect to SDM Server” push button. (NOTE: only one user can be connected to SDM Server at the same time, which means that you are not able to deploy a project in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio if you are logged in the SDM GUI)

Enter the password (see 2.1 for more details).

Once you are logged on, you can see on the SDM Repository the available information about the target systems and deployed components. The following target systems are possible:

• File system • Database • J2EE Engine

When you expand a target system node, you see the SCAs and SDAs that are assigned to it. You can also deploy or undeploy

some SCAs/SDAs and see the log messages from the SDM work steps.
