SAP ERP 6.0 EHP6 IDES Install on Oracle and Windows 2008 R2
There are many tutorials over the internet about installing SAP IDES installation, but most of them are
missing some details. In this tutorial, I will try to put all the information that you will need for installing
SAP IDES on fresh Windows Server 2008 R2 OS install without a need for any technical knowledge. As I
already wrote earlier, without access to real SAP ERP IDES system, it will be impossible to develop your
SAP skills and knowledge. If you read this tutorial, you probably have access to following software
packages:
I am going to install it for this demonstration on following a laptop with following characteristics:
RAM: 8GB
HDD1: 80 GB 7200 rpm (64 GB used including 25GB SWAP, Oracle DB Software and Windows)
HDD2: 750 GB 7200 rpm (249 GB used for SAP & DB Install)
Usually, the bottlenecks of every SAP system are the HDD and Memory. That’s the reason I wanted to go
with two HDDs which will allow me to divide the load at least on two physical drives. The smaller one will
be for Windows OS, SWAP file and DB Software. The second one will be for SAP Software and DB

Instance. I recommend you to install a pure ABAP stack instead of JAVA + ABAP because it will be lighter
and in the same time is sufficient for FICO training.
To change it, you will need to go to advanced system settings. The easiest ways is to write “system
settings” in the windows taskbar.
Go to tab Computer name and hit “Change…”. Change the computer name. If you try to change the
workgroup, the system will need a restart.
