Unit 4: Installing SAP GUI TADM12_1

Lesson: Installation of SAP GUI for Windows and Java

Lesson Overview

This lesson explains how to install and patch SAP GUI for Windows. Additionally

you will find information about the installation of SAP GUI for Java. A local SAP

GUI is installed during this lesson. The lesson also explains how to patch SAP GUI.

Lesson Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:





Business Example

A petrochemical company, ABC Limited, uses SAP to manage its data. The company

now wants to install the latest version of SAP ECC, to use the functions delivered with

the extension set of SAP ERP Central Component. As the system administrator of

company ABC, you need to install SAP ECC and install the SAP GUI on all end-user

computers so that the users can access SAP ECC easily and comfortably.

Variants of the SAP GUI

The use of SAP GUI is supported on many different operating systems. The operating

systems support is provided by the different variants of the SAP GUI. The different

types of SAP GUI are listed in the following figure

114 2008 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 2008/Q2

TADM12_1 Lesson: Installation of SAP GUI for Windows and Java

Figure 60: Variants of the SAP GUI

There are three classical GUI variants to access SAP systems:

The SAP GUI for Windows

The SAP GUI for HTML

The SAP GUI for Java

Certain other options to access SAP systems are not covered here: portal interfaces,

such as iViews, Business Explorer (BEx) to access SAP BI systems, and more.

The SAP GUI for HTML requires the integrated Internet Transaction Server ( ITS)

to provide access to an SAP system. As of SAP Web Application Sever 6.40, the

integrated ITS is part of the SAP Netweaver AS and is installed automatically. The

activation and publishing of the SAP GUI for HTML is not part of this course.

One common aspect of the SAP GUI for Windows and the SAP GUI for Java is that

both GUIs use the DIAG protocol to communicate with SAP ERP Central Component

(SAP ECC) (more specifically, with one instance of an SAP system). This protocol

requires a very small bandwidth, reducing network load.

You will find more SAP GUI-related information on the SAP Service Marketplace

(http://service.sap.com/ui).



Manual Installation of SAP GUI for Windows

Installation files for SAP GUI for Windows are located on the presentation DVD.

Navigate to PRES1\GUI\WINDOWS\WIN32 and start the installation by choosing

SetupALL.exe.

Figure 61: Manual Installation of SAP GUI for Windows (1/3)

On theWelcome screen, select Next.




In the next screen select the components to be installed and choose Next.




Select the installation directory for the local installation of the SAP GUI.

After you choose Next the installation starts. On the last screen choose Finish.



Manually Patching SAP GUI for Windows

Figure 64: Patching SAP GUI for Windows (1/4)

In the screenshots you can see the versions for primary SAP GUI components:

SAPLogon.exe, SAPGUI.exe, and Front.exe.




Start the GUI patch by executing GUI710_5-10002995.EXE found in the directory

M:\ADM110_62\SAPGui_Patch\.




After applying the patch, you sometimes have to restart your front-end computer

because some essential DLLs were exchanged.




After the patch is applied, the new patch level of the components shown in the figure

is SAP GUI 7.10 Final Release patch level 5.

Steps to Install SAP GUI for Java

The SAP GUI for Java requires that a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed.

For more information on the Java JRE version, please read the documentation shipped

with the SAP GUI for Java.

For this class we need to install the 32bit version of the JRE 5.0. Double click on

jre-1_5_0_14-windows-i586-p.exe in folder M:\ADM110_62\JRE_5 and do a typical

installation.



Figure 68: Installing SAP GUI for Java

Installation files for SAP GUI for Java are located on the presentation DVD.

Navigate to PRES2\GUI\JAVA and start the installation by choosing the appropriate

PlatinGUI_.jar file (e.g. for Windows PlatinGUINT_2.jar).



Figure 69: Configuration of SAP GUI for Java

You can find the configuration details of the SAP GUI for Java in the documentation.

The documentation is available on the presentation DVD and also installed together

with the SAP GUI for Java. To access the documentation choose Help! Help

Contents in the SAP GUI for Java window.

To obtain information about the version of the SAP GUI for Java in use, select the

question mark (?) icon in the upper-right corner of the GUI.

Lesson: Installation and Usage of SAP GUI Installation

Server

Lesson Overview

This lesson explains how to install and use SAP GUI Installation Server (for

Windows). SAP GUI Installation Server will be installed during this lesson.

Lesson Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Perform a SAP GUI Installation Server installation

Create a SAP GUI Installation package

Perform an unattended SAP GUI installation using the SAP GUI Installation

Server

Business Example

ABC Limited is a petrochemical company that uses SAP to manage its data. The

company now wants to install the latest version of SAP ERP Central Component

(SAP ECC), to use the functions delivered with the extension set of SAP ERP Central

Component. As the system administrator of ABC, you need to install SAP GUI on all

end-user computers. All your end-user computers are Windows based frondends. You

want to use an automatism to install the frontend software SAP GUI for Windows on

all end-user computers. This can be done by the SAP GUI Installation Server.

Installing the SAP GUI Installation Server

When installing SAP GUI for Windows on several workstations, it is recommended to

use a SAP GUI Installation Server. The server-based installation is flexible and makes

maintenance easier, for example, when patches have to be applied.


TADM12_1 Lesson: Installation and Usage of SAP GUI Installation Server

Figure 70: SAP GUI Server Installation and Configuration

The manual installation and update of SAP GUI for Windows in every frontend is

very time-consuming. Using the SAP GUI installation server you can save time

during the installation and update procedure. SAP delivers all necessary installation

and configuration files. They can be found on the presentation DVD.

The following screenshots explain how to setup a SAP GUI Installation

Server. It is recommended that you read the instructions in the Installation

Guide SAP Front End, which can be found on the Presentation DVD

PRES1\DOCU\SAP_Front_End_Installation_Guide.pdf, before starting the

installation.

Follow these steps to install the SAP GUI Installation server

On the presentation DVD, start NwCreateInstServer.exe in PRES1\GUI\WIN-

DOWS\WIN32G\setup directory.



Figure 71: Installing an SAP GUI Installation Server (1/4)

Note that a prerequisite for using the installation server is the installation of Microsoft

.NET Framework 1.1 SP1. Any other version of .NET framework is not supported.

See also SAP note 1057666 - NW SAPSetup - List of Bugfixes.

Browse to a folder to which you want to install the installation server. You can create

a new folder during this process.




Share the installation folder and verify it before executing the next step.




Now all files will be put into the shared folder. After the installation finished, you can

work from the share. The DVD is not needed any more.




Directly after the installation the administration tool (NwSapSetupAdmin.exe) opens

up and you can begin your work.

Patching the SAP GUI Installation Server

After the SAP GUI Installation Server has been installed, it should be patched

using the standard SAP GUI patches found on the SAP Service Marketplace

(http://service.sap.com/patches). The following figures will explain the patching of

the SAP GUI Installation Server.

Start program NwSapSetupAdmin.exe located in the setup directory of your Installation

Server folder.



Figure 75: Patching the SAP GUI Installation Server (1/2)

Choose Patch Server and browse to the patch file.



Figure 76: Patching the SAP GUI Installation Server (2/2)

Confirm all screens and wait until the patching is done. Afterwards the administration

tool will open up and you can control the patch level.

When you now install a SAP GUI Installation Package on a PC where SAP GUI is

already installed, it will only install the patched files.

Creating a SAP GUI Installation Package

After installation and patching of the SAP GUI Installation Server, you can start to

define new SAP GUI Installation packages. Afterwards these SAP GUI Installation

Packages can be distributed to the workstations.

Use NwSAPSetupAdmin.exe to create new installation packages for the SAP GUI

for Windows.



Figure 77: Creating an SAP GUI Installation Package (1/3)

Choose New Package and select the GUI components you would like to install with

this package.




Choose a name for your package.




You can now install the package on the frontends by executing a script, for example

when the user logs on to his workstation. The content of the package can be changed

later on.

Installing an SAP GUI Installation Package

The just created SAP GUI Installation Package can now be used to perform an

unattended installation.



Figure 80: Installing an SAP GUI Installation Package

You can start the unattended installation of a SAP GUI Installation Package by

running the following command:

\\\\Setup\NwSAPSetup.exe /Silent /Package=

for example, \\twdfXXXX\GUIServer\Setup\NwSAPSetup.exe /Silent

/Package=SAP GUI only

You can carry out unattended installations and automatic patch deployment on the

client. To do this, place the appropriate NwSAPSetup.exe command line in the logon

script of the client. The logon script is a program that is executed when you log on to

your workstation.

See the Help of the Installation Server to get detail information on the possible

command lines.

There is also the possibility to provide an Distribution Service which makes it possible

to do frontend installations without having administrative rights. See Configuring

Local Security Handling in the documentation of the Installation Server for more

information.
