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.html
Scroll 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/ConfidentialityApp
Click 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.
