Ya, never heard about a linux client for SAP Server
Which server are you connecting with anyway?
Is it 6.0 or older like 4.7 or 5.5?

Dear Anil,

please follow the step for SAP INSTALLATION IN LINUX

Prepare these stuffs before you can proceed to installation :

You have to make sure that your Linux system has been installed with JRE (Java Runtime

Environment) from SUN Microsystem (http://java.sun.com). If you don;t have it, just

download it from here. Some of linux distros such as Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE etc using

JRE from GNU called GIJ (GNU for Java). We can’t use this JRE. We need to replaced it. I’ll

show you how to changed it later.

1.

You also need SAPGUI for Java installer. You can download it freely from ftp://ftp.sap.com. 2.

After you have all prerequisite, you can proceed to next step to extract and change your JRE. This

step is valid for Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSuSE. Please let me know if these doesn’t work for you.

Logon as root 1.

Copy your JRE installer file to /opt folder.Please use .bin extention file. 2.

Change file permission if needed to executable. Use this command : #chmod 755

jre-1.xxx.bin (xxx = refer to JRE version you’re using).

3.

Extract JRE files. Use this command : #./jre-1.xxx.bin 4.

Install JRE you just extracted inside alternatives system. Use this command : #/updatealternatives

–install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jre1-xxx/bin/java 2

5.

Update java command configuration on alternatives system. Choose java number 2 because

usually GIJ had number 1 position. Use this command : #update-alternatives –config java

6.

Use this command to verify your JRE configuration. You can use this command : #java

-version

7.

If you get something like this on your screen then you are succeeded. java version “1.6.0?

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

8.

After you finish this step, you can proceed to SAPGUI for Java installation.

PDFMAILER.COM Print and send PDF files as Emails with any application, ad-sponsored and free of charge www.pdfmailer.com

Logon as root 1.

Use this command (on terminal) to install SAPGUI for Java. #java -jar PlatinGUI-Linuxxxxx.

jar (Use the latest version).

2.

Installed on /opt folder as default (usually on /opt/SAPClients folder) 3.

Next step is configure your SAPGUI for Java and try to test to SAP R/3 server connection.

Run executable file called guilogon (reside on /opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI700rev1/bin). It

willpop up SAPGUI for Java window.

1.

Click New button. 2.

Fill the Description column as you like. 3.

Click Advanced Tab. 4.

Give check (V) to Use Expert Configuration 5.

Fill the connection string. If your server using load balancing configuration, use this

connection string conn=/M/(IP_Address_Message_Server)/S/36(system_number)

/G/(nama_group) and use this connection string configuration if yor SAP R/3 server are not

using load balancing system, conn=/H/(IP_Address_server_SAP)/S/32(system_number).

Still more useful documents SAP on linux with RPM visit following
link

---------------http://www.acceleramus.de/de/SAP%20Web%20Application
%20Server/INSTALL

Text document of above page.

INSTALLATION NOTES

o) Linux Distribution

This demo version of SAP Web Application Server on Linux has been
tested on SuSE 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Red Hat 9 and Fedora Core 1

oo) Pre-install configuration

- If your computer does not have a fixed IP address, configure
a dummy network device with a private IP address
(e.g. 192.168.x.y). Select dummy0 for the device.

- It is required that the command 'hostname' returns only the
computer name and not the fully qualified domain name (for
example "ls3012" instead of "ls3012.wdf.sap-ag.de").

- The file /etc/hosts should contain at least the following
lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
x.x.x.x <HOST> <HOST>.<DOMAIN>
- Download and install the Java Software Development Kit (j2sdk)
version 1.4.2 or higher from the Sun Homepage

1. Server Installation

The SAP System will be installed under /usr/sap, /sapmnt & /sapdb.
Reserve
at least 11 GB of free space on disk for the SAP system.

1.1. Login as root.

1.2. Mount the DVD-Rom ( Ex : mount /media/dvdrom ) with 'exec'
option.

1.3. Install the application server software:
Extract the rpm file:
/media/dvdrom/server/RPMS/i386/sapj2ee-srv-sapdb-6.40-1.i386.rpm.bin
<target-dir>
Execute :
Assuming <target-dir>=/tmp/
rpm -ivh /tmp/sapj2ee-srv-sapdb-6.40-1.i386.rpm

1.4. Install the database server software:
Extract the packages by calling:
/media/dvdrom/server/RPMS/i386/sapdb-7.5-1.i386.rpm.bin <target-
dir>
/media/dvdrom/server/RPMS/i386/sapdb-db-log-7.5-1.i386.rpm.bin
<target-dir>
/media/dvdrom/server/RPMS/i386/sapdb-db-files-7.5-1.i386.rpm.bin
<target-dir>
Execute:
Assuming <target-dir> as /tmp/
rpm -ivh /tmp/sapdb-7.5-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh /tmp/sapdb-db-log-7.5-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh /tmp/sapdb-db-files-7.5-1.i386.rpm

N.B. The database installation may take several hours.

1.5. Set-up the newly installed system:
Extract the following package by calling:
/media/dvdrom/server/RPMS/i386/sapj2ee-start-
sapdb-640-1.i386.rpm.bin <target-dir>
Execute:
Assuming <target-dir> as /tmp
rpm -ivh /tmp/sapj2ee-start-sapdb-640-1.i386.rpm
/tmp/updatedb.sh

After calling this script, your hardware key is reported on
command line.
Obtain a valid license from
http://www.sap.com/linux/eval/nw4/

You will receive a license rpm-package via e-mail that enables
the
SAP Web Application Server to run on your hardware. Install
this
rpm with 'rpm -ivh'.

If you lose your hardware key you can show it with
/usr/sap/NW4/SYS/exe/run/saplicense -get


During the installation the following operating system users
are created:
Username | Password | Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------
nw4adm | nw4adm | SAP System Administrator
sqdnw4 | sqdnw4 | SAP Database Administrator
sqd | sqd | MaxDB software owner


Each SAP system has a unique 3-letter name and an instance of
an
application server also needs an unique service number on the
server.
We picked NW4 as the system name and 00 as the system number.


1.6. Starting the SAP System
After completing the installation, the database will be running
but the SAP System
will not. To start (or later stop) the SAP System, you must log
on as the
SAP Administration user, namely "nw4adm". This user is
preconfigured with the
appropriate environment settings for these tasks. Now use the
command 'startsap'
to start your SAP System (this would also start the database,
when it is not running).

Note:
To switch to the SAP Administration user you can use the
command
'su - nw4adm', but do not forget the '-' for sourcing the
environment settings.

1.7. Stopping the SAP System

Log on as user "nw4adm" and use the command 'stopsap'.
This will stop the entire SAP system including the database.

Do not shut down your Linux system without having stopped the
SAP System
and the database before!

1.8. Deinstallation of the SAP System

Stop the SAP System, database and the SAP OS Collector with the
commands 'stopsap', 'x_server stop' and 'saposcol -k' as user
nw4adm.

As root remove the SAP System packages with:
rpm -e sapj2ee-start-sapdb sapdb-db-log sapdb-db-files sapdb
sapj2ee-srv-sapdb

1.9. The SAP J2EE server is reacheable on the TCP port 50000.

Start an Internet Browser and type the URL: http://<SAP Web
Application Server hostname>:50000
to logon on the server you can use the following user:

Username | Password
-----------------------------------
J2EE_admin | admin
J2EE_guest | guest


2. Client Installation

2.1. Install SAP Java GUI on Linux:

- logon as root

- mount the DVD ROM ( assume /media/dvdrom )

- rpm -ivh /media/dvdrom/client/RPMS/i386/PlatinGUI-
Linux-6.30-4.i386.rpm

To start the PlatinGUI, type the command 'guilogon' on the console.

After the start, press the "New" button.

Enter some text in the "Description" field.

Select the "Advanced" Tab.

Check the "use expert configuration" flag.

In the text box enter: conn=/H/<hostname>/S/3200
where <hostname> is the name of the machine (or IP address) where
you have installed the SAP WebAS

Press the "Save" button.

Press the "Connect" button to open a new connection. Soon you should
see the SAPGui appear.

To logon on the new system you can use the following user:
Username | Password
--------------------------------
developer | developer
ddic | ddic
sap* | sapstar


2.2. Install SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio on Linux:

Pre-Install:
Download Sun J2SDK version 1.4.2 or higher for MS Windows.
Download Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.
Download dcom95.exe.

- mount the dvdrom ( assume /media/dvdrom ) whith 'exec' option.

- Run the Crossover Installer (as your normal non-root user):
/media/dvdrom/client/install-crossover-office-sap-2.3.0.sh

- when the install is completed, quit the Crossover Setup tool.

- copy the config to ~/.cxoffice/dotwine/ :
cp /media/dvdrom/client/config ~/.cxoffice/dotwine/

If its Ati ,did you initialize card by :

sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Did you try glxgears ,amdcccle n so on

2)Anubis TV tuner card

#3 I'd suggest you refer foll URL:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503&page=1&pp=10

Cause I believe Lenovo & Thinkpad in general ( not always) utilizes ATI
as VGA compatible controller ,whose drivers werent updated by ATI till
end of August-2009 for F11.

Now its updated via rpmfusion repo,through kmod-catalyst and few more.I
recently started compiz-fusion with Emerald.There are certain tweaks to
cursor & Desktop freezing aft. installation on F11.

Regards to using Ubuntu,Jaunty is served in nice platter ,can't say much
abt. Karmic koala cause still its in its alpha phase.But hardships would
be declined to almost pinch .Not falling into distro war,both are best by
with its own set of unique features I use Ubuntu for Development with
Netbeans & Codeblocks while RHEL & F11 at work .You get more to learn
with Fedora,RHEL & CentOS cause nothing is easily served .Its like self
help & self served dinner :)

Regards to Bugs I suppose its not just Fed-11 ,it can be
Ubuntu ,centos,Suse,Debian for that matter, but these time there were
bit more compared to Cambridge (F-10) :) viz pulseaudio,ATI drivers in
lack (blame it on dev team of ATI  not f-11 ) as main.Both had its
leeway viz shifting back to Alsa & Radeon till things fall in pace.Best
practice is only upgrade to next version when things fall in smooth pace
w.r.t drivers

I Followed this link and done step by step. But After that I am not getting GUI.




#1 You haven't mentioned which TV tuner card you are using ?

TV Tuner Card is inbuilt. Its FlyMini Express. I suppose Inbuilt TV Tuner is attached to USB

So lsusb output is :-

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 10fd:2535 Anubis Electronics, Ltd (This can be TV Tuner Card)
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f2:b008 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd USB 2.0 Camera
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. A-Link BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub



#2,4 Try adding "i8024.reset" in kernel parameter
( -->/boot/grub/grub.conf) in kernel-vmlinuz.2.6.30.These tweak works
for Dell & Lenovo ,let's see if it works for you or not ? :)

When i am booting with this parameter it says, " Wrong kernel parameter - ignoring"
