The German ISP 1&1 offers "Root Servers" starting at 29 EUR per month (1.2 GHz Pentium, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, 25 GB transfer, SuSE 8.1 Prof.) (http://www.1und1.de/ , then click on "Server" and "Root-Server Start") As root, start "yast", select all packages that start with "sapdb" except for web access, and install them. Then use the runlevel editor and have sap db start at runlevel 3. In order to disallow SAP DB access from the Internet (hackers!!!) issue these iptable commands: p1xxxxxxx:~ # iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 7200 -i lo -j ACCEPT p1xxxxxxx:~ # iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 7200 -i eth0 -j DROP p1xxxxxxx:~ # iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 7210 -i lo -j ACCEPT p1xxxxxxx:~ # iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport 7210 -i eth0 -j DROP Then modify the create_test_db.sh script so that your database gets a different SID, and different dbm and dba account names and passwords. Now you need to go to yast->runlevel editor, and manually start sap db. Then you need to "su sapdb", and execute the create_test_database script. Et voil�! (Don't forget so send a "Thank you" note to Wolfgang Rosenauer (sp?) from SuSE who made everything so easy.)
