Hands-On BASIS Training - ECC IDES, Fiori, Personas, NWBC

Discover why VMware leads virtualization, exploring automatic deployment, flexible VM images, and cross-platform conversion from workstation to Amazon, Hyper-V, and ESX for hosted and on-premise solutions.

Invest in an SSD as the limiting factor is the hard drive; a one terabyte SSD, possibly in raid, greatly boosts performance even with limited RAM.

Create a new virtual machine shell and mount an operating system image. Configure hardware, BIOS or EFI, and prepare Windows 8 64-bit for ESX, Hyper-V, and Amazon deployable images.

Install the operating system from a downloaded ISO using custom installation, configure partitions, and complete the first boot. Create a local ACP account, name the pc, and apply express settings.

Install VM tools to improve mouse performance and prepare a Windows VM for image deployment. Configure security, updates, and user settings, map network drives, and optimize system before SEP prep.

Install SAP GUI and NWBC 5.0 to create a deployable image with common tools. Extract media, install the database and SAP GUI, and prepare for cardinal preparation.

Learn kernel preparation for SAP installation: download latest patches, replace old kernels with 7.4 unicode, place in the correct folders, and prepare the database before install.

Learn how to safeguard complex installations by creating and managing snapshots and backups, and quickly recover by copying, archiving, or restoring virtual machines and databases.

Install the database from the original media, run as administrator, keep the default instance and user names, and verify the setup with the management console.

Learn to install SAP IDES ECC using provisioning manager, selecting standard system distributions, performing custom installation for application and database servers, and verifying setup via import logs.

Back up the SAP IDES installation, then configure SEP login and hostname. Create the IDES user and install hardware and license keys for maintenance.

Learn how to maintain and upgrade profiles in a BASIS environment by preparing hardware resources. Import, edit, and activate default and system profiles, then restart the system.

Configure the transport management team setup in a standard single-system installation, set system parameters, and enable modifiable options to support TMX, SDMI, and related add-ons before proceeding to hardware configuration.

Determine current kernel version, download patches from SEP website, copy SAPCAR to system32, then stop the application server, extract and overwrite kernel files without deleting folder, and restart to verify.

Learn to verify ICM connectivity and hostname stability, then install the developer key via SC38 by logging in as ID admin, creating the required object, and entering the license key.

Prepare and run sgen by optimizing memory, cpu, and disk usage during the basic installation. Select all components and compile programs, noting disk is the limiting factor on virtual machines.

Update spam to the latest version and prepare sapcar for extraction by setting an environment variable, then download the latest sapcar, import support packages, and monitor the import process.

configure nwbc 5.0 by starting the icm service, binding to the hostname on port 80, restarting after changes, and activating the wbc service to set up a cockpit.

Install sap personas version 2 by downloading the installation product and maintenance packages, applying two support packs through addon installation, and verifying the setup before configuring in a follow-up video.

Learn to configure SAP personas by following a focused installation and configuration guide, installing the exact version, applying essential notes, and achieving a working personas setup.

Configure personas by activating profiles and services step-by-step, copying parameter lines from SEP documents, saving, restarting the application server, and ensuring the entire service hierarchy—public and subdomains—is activated.

Configure personas by activating the translation service and REST UI, set required parameters, then assign the admin UI role to the user.

Explore SAP Fiori architecture and app-based deployment by installing addons and patches, configuring principal and transactional apps across ERP, HCM, HR, CRM, and SRM via gateway and UI5.

Install and verify the complete Fiori apps, including principal and transactional ones, then follow a detailed 43-page configuration document covering gate UI config and traveler management specifics.

Configure gateway and ui by activating data services, creating an rc destination, and testing the connection, then set up SPRO gateway settings and launch pad activation.

Create and maintain fiori services by building authorization roles, profiles, and menu items, then assign test users to verify the fiori configuration.

Complete the app-specific configuration for fiori by setting up hcm applications, adding services, loading metadata, configuring approvals, and enabling leave requests and timesheets in the launchpad.

Rerun SGEN to finalize server prep for ECC IDES with Fiori, Personas, and NWBC. Copy and export, then compact the VM and install Zent server for an open-source standard.

Perform a performance analysis to assess io performance and identify tuning needs, then back up, snapshot, and shrink log files using management tools.

Execute a source system copy by configuring an export profile, ensuring matching passwords, exporting the database to a migration folder, and preparing the compressed export for target system import.

Learn to prep and execute a system copy to transplant configurations, using the SEPs landscape management tool and migration manager to export files and deploy to future systems.

Cleanup and shrink the disk by deleting unnecessary files, compressing logs, and reclaiming free space, reducing the VM from 523 GB to about 270 GB for faster patching.

Learn to deploy a small training vm using workstation 11, convert to vdi with Zent Center, or import to AWS as AMI for scalable access.

Install and configure ESXi 5.5 and vSphere 5.5 by creating a virtual machine, allocating 64 GB RAM, two processors, and a 6 TB datastore with bridged networking.

Learn how to import and deploy virtual machines into an ESXi server using a templating system and the ESX convert tool, with provisioning options and datastore management.

Demonstrates deploying four virtual machines on an ESX server using the BCA management console, then remotely access them via TeamViewer while monitoring RAM and resource allocation.

Build a deployable XenServer 6.5 image with XenCenter, validating network, storage, and pre-configured personas for quick deployment and VM import.

Wraps up by showcasing a vm shell for deploying be-I crm mizoram acm, installing ecac, hosting vms on vm baby sphere, and converting vms to vdi with personas.
