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.
