1. Introduction
The
Idea behind this document is to show consultants on installation of SAP
NetWeaver Portal system. Many SAP Portal consultants are not aware of
installation activities. Using this guide, it will help them to
understand how actually installation of SAP NetWeaver Portal System is
being done.
For
installation, I have referred the latest version i.e. SAP NetWeaver
Portal 7.3 EHP1 system. Used Oracle 11g Release2 for SAP NetWeaver
Portal database and Windows Server 2008 R2 for operating system
platform.
I Hope this will be informative to many consultants who wants to know how installation is to be done.
