general discussion

Hi Experts,

I am a Business Objects Developer I have to set up the complete BI Platform environment which includes SAP BO 4.2 SP02, SAP HANA, SAP Lumira.

I have searched online for the steps and there is lot of generic information on installation.

Details:
2 Servers 16gb of RAM each.
Windows Server 2012 R2

It would helpful if anyone can recommend me the right approach to setup and things/steps to consider while configuration.

Thank you much!

Well, off the bat, the only component in your list that you’ll be able to install on Windows 10 is Lumira Client. BI server requires a server OS (Windows 2008/2012, or Linux), and HANA doesn’t run on Windows at all.

At the risk of sounding snarky, http://help.sap.com is the best place to start for installation documentation.

Thank you for the response Joepeters.

My bad, the OS is actually Windows Server 2012 R2.

Please let me know your inputs from here.

Thanks!

Ok, so that will get you BI4 server; you’re still out of luck with HANA, though.

I’d suggest at least starting with the Installation guides: http://help.sap.com/bobip#section2. But you may want to look into admin training, or hiring a consultant to assist. Sizing and setting up a new environment correctly, especially a clustered one, is not a simple task.

Ahh, Nope. :roll_eyes:

Get an experienced consultant who shows you how to work the ropes instead : )
Or invest the time yourself and read through the SAP BI BusObjects Admin manuals and skim the scn.sap.com pages :slight_smile:

Only certified HANA professionals should be installing HANA on vendor certified hardware. Its usually done by the supplier of the hardware appliance (DELL, HP etc). I dont actually think HANA is supported if it hasn`t been installed by a certified vendor.

Also, HANA requires MUCH more ram than that. I think the smallest server I`ve seen HANA install on (and not even in a prod environment) is 24GB.
