Subject: Is it possible to install SAP Server on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)?
Good day from Singapore,
Today 18 December 2020 Friday, I chanced upon a new discovery. On the SAP login page of our major client, I saw the following:
Client SAP ERP System
SAP SYSTEM NAME: Production
Product: SAP S/4HANA 1709 FPS 00
Platform: AWS Cloud with SLES 12 SP1 + HDB 2.00.020.00
Ouch. This software is ancient. You can ask a seach engine for the lifecycle of SLES 12. Everything before SP 5 is out of support now. SLES 15 can be used. HDB AFAIK is currently supported with SP4 and SP5, this might be 2.00.040/050. I'm running the SAP software of my company on SLES for 17 years now. The systems (ERP 6.0 EhP 8) are patched with Service Pack Stacks once a year. We use SAP HANA instead of Oracle since 2017 and try not to be more than 3 months after the current release. I think it's best to buy SLES for SAP Applications. It contains much more software than the Standard SLES - it's a bit more costly, but includes 4h-Support Reaction time. HTH, Werner --
