What cloud provider has to be used for the course?
The supported cloud provider for this openSAP course is Amazon Web Services (AWS). This cloud
provider ensures that you can access openSAP BI 4 appliance. We provide the openSAP training content
free of charge.
Note: that you have to create an AWS account before you can use the training systems offered by openSAP
in this course. For more information, see the AWS documentation.

External participants can access the systems via the following link:
https://caltdc.hana.ondemand.com/subscription?sguid=a2a64e84-8cd6-4dbd-9043-a8a170f2d10d

Internal participants (SAP employees) can access the systems via the following link:
https://opensap.hana.ondemand.com/course

For Internal participants (SAP Employees) requiring more information about how to use the SAP Cloud Appliance
Library, you can read the official documentation of the product by choosing the following navigation from SAP
Cloud Appliance Library: Related Links & Help Documentation. If you cannot find the needed information in the
documentation, you can open a normal support ticket within the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (BC-VCM-CAL)
component and your ticket will be processed by the SAP Cloud Appliance Library Operators.

What are the virtual machine sizes for this openSAP course?
The training landscape contains one on-demand instance:
BI on Windows with the size: High-Memory Double Extra Large (m2.2xlarge)

What are the costs for using the AWS cloud computing environment?
The user is charged based on the usage.

For an example - the rough estimation of the AWS costs, if the openSAP system is suspended when it is not
used, is ~$50 (for the above recommended size) including storage and Elastic IP costs for approximately 35
hours up-time of the system.

For more information about Amazon Web Services pricing, see the following link:
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/

To save AWS costs you can suspend your instance while it is not used and then when you want to use it
again you have to activate it.

Use the following procedure to suspend the solution instance:


1. In SAP Cloud Appliance Library, choose Instances to display the list of available solution
instances.
2. For the solution instance you want to suspend choose Suspend.
Note that the status of the solution instance has to be Active to suspend it.

The Instances screen refreshes automatically and the status of the instance changes from Active to
Suspending and then to Suspended.

Note: that when you suspend a solution instance, the cloud provider does not release the resources
associated with that instance and you can use it at a later point of time. When the instance is suspended,
you are charged only for the cloud provider storage.

Use the following procedure to activate the solution instance:


1. In SAP Cloud Appliance Library, choose Instances to display the list of available solution
instances.
2. For the solution instance you want to activate choose Activate.
Note that the status of the solution instance has to be Suspended to activate it.
The status of the solution instance changes to Activating and then to Active. It may take several minutes for
the solution instance to be activated.

You can terminate the solution instance once you finish with its usage:
1. In SAP Cloud Appliance Library, choose Instances to display the list of available solution instances.

2. For the instance you want to terminate, choose (More Operations) and then choose
Terminate.

The data associated with the solution instance is lost when it is terminated. To save the data, suspend the
instance instead of terminating it.

How to connect to the solution instance using Remote Desktop Protocol


(RDP)?

1. In SAP Cloud Appliance Library, choose Instances to display the list of available solution instances.
2. For the solution instance you want to connect choose Connect to login directly to the landscape.

If you have the IP address and want to connect manually using RDP, use the following procedure:
a. Run the Windows Remote Desktop Client application.
b. Enter the IP address of the openSAP instance.
c. Provide the user SAPUser and user defined password.

Now you can login to the windows instance for your exercises.

For more information about the RDP tools for Mac or Linux operation systems, see the AWS documentation.
