Ok, So finally the wait is over, and the most awaited portal is available for general release. If you haven't heard about it yet, refer: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/24880 There was already quite a build up going on for quite some time(http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-73), and like every one, I too was eagerly awaiting to get my hands on Netweaver 7.3. After going through the pain of installing Netweaver portal 7.3, i thought I should share my experience to make it easier for others. The screen shots and the details mentioned are taken on following system: postpost OS: Microsoft Windows XP 32 bit with SP2 4GB RAM Intel core 2 Duo CPU The idea behind telling the system detail is to make yo aware that you need to make some changes in case you ar installing on a different system, and the steps mentioned in the blog may be required to be altered. . I have included quite a few screen shots intentionally, because like many I also believe a picture conveys more than thousand words. Let' get going...
5. As I mentioned I am installing the portal on a 32 bit OS, I have downloaded the files for 32 bit

6. Optionally you can also download the Portal add on for (Forums and Wiki), more about installing and configuring these in next blog 7. Download the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6 from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html 8. After you have downloaded all the files in one folder it will look like
9. Extract the files using WinRar, don't extract the JCE policy :-), you will have a folder structure like:

3. Fill in the parameters, take help of the attached screen shots wherever required. Below screen shot shows, the directory where JAVA_J2EE-OSINDEP_UT is located.
4. Below screen shot shows, the usage type options available, you may select all

8. Revise the parameters before starting the installation
9. Now you are Good to start with the installation. It takes anywhere between 2-4 hrs depending on the Hardware and the usage type selected, so please be patient.
2. Start the Service Manually, and set the startup type as automatic so that in future it gets started automatically

In the next blog of this series I am planning to write about additional installation/configuration (Wiki, Forum) and setting up NWDS for development. Let me know if you are interested about any particular topic, I can try to explore and write about that.

Prashant, Thanks for the blog. I have just one update .. the SAPCRYPTO.SAR file that came with the package did not work. I had to download the Crypto file separately and then it was fine. Thank, Manish

Thanks for the update Manish. I was not interested in configuring SSL so didn't install the SAPCRYPTO.SAR. Later I realized that someone might be interested so provided the path. Thanks Prashant

Hi Kumar, These blogs are always better to read than the marketing bs that some of the sections of SDN are flooded with lately. Great job! I'll write up my experiences as well when I start installing NW 7.3 on a Unix based serrver. Regards, Jan Laros

Hi, did you use the sapjvm_6 or which version ? If yes, did you just copied the unzipped folder somewhere and added the JAVA_PATH ? Regards, Kai
Like (0)
Hi Kai, I didn't use the sapjvm_6 explicitly, I believe you only need Java to start the installer after it extracts the JVM which is bundled with the installables and uses that.(I was using Sneak preview of ABAP so I laready had jdk1.4 setup as my JAVA_HOME.)However for NWDS I had to download the JDK 1.6 form Oracle's site. Thanks Prashant

Hey hey! Just looking for first experiences in EP. For this i wanted to build a sandbox-system (useradministration, development, etc). I just read some tutorials using NW Java 7.0 Trial from SDN which is not available any longer :(
So if my company allowed me to download the files you mentioned, could I use your guide to build a sandbox-system with just one pc (e.g at home) or can anything be said against it?
Hi Wolfgang, Definitely yo can install and configure the Sand box at your home PC. I have one. For trial versions SAP issues a 90 days trial license. You can request for an extension of the trial license once these 90 days are expired. So long as you are using it for learning and not as a productive system, there is no issue. You are right the the Netweaver portal 7.0x is not available for download on SDN for Windows OS. However the downloads are available for Linux. You can however get the downloads from Service Market Place. This blog is about Netweaver Portal 7.3 which is quite different from Netweaver Portal 7.0x. You first need to decide, which portal version you want to install. The whole purpose of SDN is to help each other. I would love to be of any help to you.

Hello Kumar Your blog is awesome, thank you very much for share it... I have already started download the files and I'll try to install it. However, I have a doub: Could I install it on my laptop and launch some portal services (such as ESS or MSS) from an SAP IDES system?... Best regards

Hi Emilio, Thanks for dropping a line. If your question is around the Business package, there is no Business package available for Netweaver Portal 7.3 yet. As of today my suggestion will be ti use Portal 7.3 in a Federated Portal Scenario, where you can use Portal 7.0x as producer and 7.3 as consumer. If your question is regarding connecting to the back end system, yes you can do that. Thanks Prashant

Hello Kumar, thanks for your reply.. I have other question: I just installed a trial version of SAP Netweaver CE 7.2 Developer Edition on my laptop. The installation was sucessfully and the instances are running fine. I can launch the start page of the Java AS, and I would like to launch some ESS function. It is possible?, If in back-end system are installed the BP for ESS and MSS, could I run the Web dynpro applications included in these BP? Best regards

Hi Emilio, Unfortunately, there is no business package available for CE 7.2. Personally I don't see any use case for CE 7.2 after 7.3 launch, and i don't think SAP is going to launch the BP for CE. If you want to use/test ESS-MSS functionalists opt for Portal 7.0X, 7.02 is the most updated one. You can download the installation files from Service Market Place. Regards Prashant

Great Great Blog, but please tell me what i am doing wrong. I selected first 2 usage types as i dont need another usage types. But, i also see that EP and EP Core are not listed under usage types. anyways, i went ahead with the installation selecting the first two usage types and i was not able to log into http:\\locahost:50000\irj\portal but was able to login to http:\\localhost:50000\startPage I feel that due to missing usage types EP and EPCore i was not able to log in to portal. Am i right ?? Or what i am missing here ??

First thing I would suggest to do is check whether the usage type EP has been installed using: http://<host>:<port>/nwa/sysinfo . If my memory serves me right I also didn't see any explicit option for selecting the usage type EP or EPCore. Incase you don't see the EP usage type in system information page you can upload the scas which are there under the folder JAVA_J2EE_OSINDEP_UT using JSPM. This should allow you to add the usage type EP. Regards Prashant

hi, Thanks for quick reply. But I don't think so, because I could see and download other products such as NW7.31 with oracle.
