Chapter 1. Overview
The RHEL for SAP Applications or RHEL for SAP Solutions subscriptions provide additional RHEL repositories that contain additional RPM packages required for running SAP applications like S/4HANA, SAP HANA or SAP NetWeaver based SAP products (like ERP or CRM) on RHEL and to use additional features provided by Red Hat specifically for SAP, like the HA solutions for managing S/4HANA, SAP HANA and SAP NetWeaver.
Red Hat offers a new RHEL minor release every 6 months. A fix for a problem which has been reported for a given RHEL minor release might be available in a package which is part of one of the following RHEL minor releases.
For customers who have to, or want to, keep their system(s) on a certain RHEL minor release for more than 6 months, Red Hat is offering Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extended Maintenance as an Extended Update Support (EUS) Add-On or as Update Services for SAP Solutions (E4S). These repositories receive important fixes for up to two years (EUS) or four years (E4S) after the release of the corresponding RHEL minor release. The EUS and E4S repositories are only available for certain RHEL minor releases. See the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle page for more information on the RHEL release schedule.
SAP validates SAP NetWeaver/SAP ABAP Application Platform once per RHEL major release (e. g. RHEL 9), so you can run it on any RHEL minor release once it has been validated on the corresponding RHEL major release (e.g. 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, …).
In contrast, SAP validates SAP HANA only for specific RHEL minor releases - typically for those RHEL minor releases for which E4S repositories are available.
This document provides:
- instructions for registering your RHEL system to use RHEL for SAP Applications or RHEL for SAP Solutions subscriptions
- an overview of the repositories that must be enabled based on the combination of SAP products and the RHEL release, and
- the procedure for enabling the repositories.
- Always verify with SAP and with your hardware partner or infrastructure provider if the SAP product you are planning to use is supported for the RHEL release that is going to be used.
- When using the EUS or E4S repos, the targeted RHEL minor release must be set via subscription-manager, to ensure that the system does not get updated to a higher RHEL minor release than desired.
- This document applies only to on-premise systems and to "bring your own subscription" (BYOS) systems on any public cloud platform using Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM).
- This document is not applicable to "pay as you go" (PAYG) instances using RHUI on public cloud platforms. In the case of PAYG images, the repositories are defined by the preinstalled RHUI client rpm and should not be configured manually. For the RHEL for SAP Solutions with HA and US subscription, the following E4S repositories will be present on the virtual machine: AppStream, BaseOS, High Availability, SAP NetWeaver and SAP Solutions. For the RHEL for SAP Applications subscription, the following EUS repositories will be present on the virtual machine: AppStream, BaseOS, and SAP NetWeaver. For a final minor release of a given major release, for example 7.9, 8.10 and 9.10, the non EUS/E4S repositories will be, for RHEL for SAP Solutions with HA and US: Common, Extras, High Availability, SAP, SAP HANA and Server, and for RHEL for SAP Applications: Common, Extras, SAP and Server. Every cloud provider also has custom cloud-specific repositories.
