Overview

The sap module provides packages, settings and other requirements for installing specific SAP products on this node.

Module Description

This module takes care that the SAP recommendations for installing specific SAP products on the Linux operating system are fullfilled on the current node. The configuration is based on the corresponding SAP OSS notes describing the necessary configuration steps.

Keep in mind, this module is not related in any way to official SAP software distribution nor is it supported in any way by official SAP contracts. This is my private module to speed up the installation of SAP software in a controlled puppetized way, so absolutely no warranty at all!

Setup

What sap affects

  • local packages
  • local configuration files
  • local service configurations

Beginning with sap

Include '::sap' is enough to get you up and running if the parameters point to proper values. Keep mind that all parameters point default to false, so using the module without parameters will not change much. If you wish to pass in parameters like which SAP software product will be installed on the node you should use something like this:

class { '::sap':
  cloudconnector => true,
}

Usage

All interaction with the sap module can do be done through the main sap class. This means you can simply toggle the options in the sap class to get at the full functionality.

I just want sap, what's the minimum I need?

include '::sap'

I just want ABAP stack, JAVA stack and ADS on target node.

class { '::sap':
  abap => true,
  java => true,
  ads  => true,
}

Reference

Classes

  • sap: Main class, includes all the rest.
  • sap::install: Handles the packages.
  • sap::config: Handles the configuration file.
  • sap::service: Handles the alternative service link.

Parameters

The following parameters are available in the sap module

abap

Install prerequisites for an ABAP stack.

java

Install prerequisites for an JAVA stack.

ads

Install prerequisites for an Adobe Document Services stack.

cloudconnector

Install prerequisites for the SAP Cloud Connector.

router

Limitations

This module has been built on and tested against Puppet 4.0 and higher.

The module has been tested on:

  • RedHat Enterprise Linux 6/7

but should work on:

  • CentOS 6/7
  • Oracle Enterprise Linux 6/7
  • Scientific Linux 6/7

too. Testing on other platforms has been light and cannot be guaranteed.

Development
