Here is the video for this blog:
STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM
It is recommended to install SuSE Linux version 11.4 ,
TIP: Please refer SAP Note 2195019 – Linux: Using SAP kernel 748 and higher or SAPinst 749 and higher on RHEL 6, OL6 and SLES 11.
You can check your operating system version as below:
sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL = 4
STEP 2: USE EXISTING HANA DATABASE (OPTION1)
If you already have a database, please patch the database to 122_02 or higher and you can create container using command:
CREATE DATABASE HDB SYSTEM USER PASSWORD Xxxxxxxn
It takes about 2 minutes to create database with this command.
STEP 2: NEW HANA DATABASE (OPTION 2)
Please use commands below. You could alternatively use hdblcmgui, I used below procedure because hdblcmgui did not allow me to change instance number to 02.
First unpack the archive in folder 51051151_HANASP12_4
====================================================LINUX SCREEN START sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_4 # SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_SERVER100_122_4-10009569.SAR sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_4/SAP_HANA_DATABASE # ./hdbinst![]()
............... ............... Installation done Log file written to 'https://learntips.b-cdn.net/var/tmp/hdb_HDB_install_2016-11-01_13.35.45/hdbinst.log' on host 'sid-hdb'.
After installation of HANA database in case you would like to install integrated livecache, please add the plugin as below,unpack HANA DATABASE LCAPPS archive:
sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_3 # SAPCAR –xvf IMDB_LCAPPS100_122P_40-20010426.SAR sid-hdb:/sapmedia/51051151_HANASP12_3/SAP_HANA_LCAPPS # ./hdbinst======================================================LINUX SCREEN ENDS
After installation, logon to HANA Database using HANA Studio and add system
Host Name :
Instance Number: 02
Click Next and in the following screen enter User Name SYSTEM and Password
Click on Finish to exit.
TIP: Please change the log mode if you don’t want to be spend time on log maintenance:
In HANA studio –> Configuration –> global.ini –> persistence and set the parameter log_mode to overwrite. When you change the log mode, you must restart the database system to activate the changes. It is also recommended that you perform a full data backup. You can also set the log_mode to ‘overwrite’ using the following SQL-Statement:
ALTER SYSTEM ALTER CONFIGURATION (‘global.ini’, ‘SYSTEM’) SET (‘persistence’, ‘log_mode’) = ‘normal‘ WITH RECONFIGURE;
STEP 3: S/4HANA BASE INSTALLATION USING SWPM
Please extract media files in folders as mentioned in New Installation of S/4HANA 1610 – Part 1 – media download using Maintenance Planner in folders:
51050947_EXP1
51050947_LANG (Optional)
51051135_SCM (Optional)
51051522_CLIENT
51051432_KERNEL (Optional, needed for separate web dispatcher install)
51051151_HANASP12_4
download
I have extracted all above under folder /sapmedia.
Extract the SWPM SAR file as below sid-hdb:/ # cd /install sid-hdb:/install # /sapmedia/SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SWPM10SP18_4-20009701.SAR You should get message at the end of this that SAPCAR: 1584 files(s) extracted
Start x-Windows software such as Exceed or X-ming and set the DISPLAY variable needed to confirm x-Windows is working.
I have edited file to change SID from S4A to S4H due to SID restriction on my Maintenance Planner.
TIP: In case the following components are included in stack.xml file you should remove them as they are not needed for 1610 and will cause error in SUM – Not valid for 1610.
Prepackage@Takt: SAP_UI 751: SP 0001 and Prepackage@Takt: SAP_GWFND 751: SP 0001
Execute combined installation of SWPM + SUM in single command line as below:
sid-hdb:/install#./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1000109478_2038a.xml

Click on Next and select radio button – Individual Key (Recommended for Productive Systems)
On the Next screen Capture details of storage Key ID and Value
Click on Next screen as we do not have any additional transports with SWPM
Click on Next we will not install any additional languages besides English and German
Here is the summary of all options
Click on Next to confirm and begin the installation.
IF THERE IS NO ERROR YOU CAN TAKE A BREAK FOR 6 HOURS
TIP: The high hitter phases for time duration were Import ABAP and Create DDL Views (RUTDDLSCREATE). The system and used memory for database was high. So for MDC and MCOD scenario, free up memory by unloading tables in other tenants/databases. In MCOS scenario please shutdown other databases. The video shown at the beginning has clock showing the time in fast forward as the installation progresses.
Here are some milestones with starting point after all sapinst screen inputs are completed. For higher end systems the time required will be lower, the figures are only to be used as guidance.
STEP 4: ADDON INSTALLATION USING SUM
As we executed combined SWPM+SUM you should have filesystem /usr/sap/S4H/SUM. If not, don’t worry, please extract it as below 2 commands:
as s4hadm cd /usr/sap/S4H SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SUM10SP18_4-20006543.SAR as root ps –ef | grep –i sapup /usr/sap/S4H/SUM/abap/SUMSTART confighostagent
TIP: Please check that your /windows/drivers/etc/host file contains entry with IP address mapped to hostname vhcals4hci. c:usersmahesh>type c:windowssystem32driversetchosts 10.20.130.140 vhcals4hci vhcals4hci.dummy.nodomain vhcals4hcs vhcals4hcs.dummy.nodomain vhcalhdbdb vhcalhdbdb.dummy.nodomain
Open Google Chrome browser (latest version recommended) Enter URL:
https://vhcals4hci:1129/lmsl/sumabap/S4H/doc/sluigui
In case you get screen below please click on Advanced and then “Proceed to vhcals4hci(unsafe)”
Enter s4hadm/(password you used before) in the screen below
TIP: If you get message that Page is Unresponsive just click on Wait.
Provide details of the stack.xml and it is good to download the file crlbag.p7s for archive verification so you know in advance if any file is corrupted.

STEP 5A (OPTION1): S/4HANA RELEASE INFORMATION NOTE
TIP: PLEASE NOTE THIS BLOG AND BELOW TRANSPORT IS ONLY FOR S/4HANA 1611 FPS0 AND NOT TO BE APPLIED TO 1611 FPS1 AND LATER SYSTEMS.
I have provided transport S4HK900002 for notes contained in Note 2346431 Release Information Note. It is available at link and there is a document provided Procedure_for_S4HK900002.pdf
The transport S4HK900002 has been very carefully prepared on a clean system using SPAM/SAINT method of addon import instead of SUM and only contains notes as described in list upto 2016-11-08 and does not include transport 2356364 (currently removed), and also does not include notes from SEM-BCS or IS-RETAIL. Reasonable checks have been done with system with imported transport. Please feel free to report any issues. I have not yet been able to test this transport on system installed with SUM.
TIP: Before importing the transport please check component levels as described in the document and also carry out manual steps as described in the document. You may also like to take a backup before applying this transport.The difference between SAINT and SUM method is in case of SUM Note 2344014 – SPAU Adjustment for R3TR CLAS deliveries is already applied at SUM tool and is included again in transport so to avoid error that object was repaired in the system you should confirm repairs in SE03 before importing transport.
This transport is only meant for sandbox and use it at your OWN RISK !. I do not take any responsibility for issues arising from using the transport. If you are concerned about risk please follow manual procedure as described in STEP 5B.
