1 How Can This Script Be Used?
This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance (in short “appliance” in this script),
hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide.
The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:
1. Via SAP Cloud Appliance Library (hosted on cloud providers)
You need a cloud provider account at AWS, MS Azure, or GCP. With this, you can deploy the appliance within 1-2 hours from
https://cal.sap.com > Solutions > SAP S/4HANA <your desired release>.
2. Via installing it on your own on-premise hardware.
You need to provide your own hardware, and order & install the appliance as explained in SAP Note 2041140.
If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1809-system-in-a-fraction-of-
the-usual-setup-time/
Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information about necessary
preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your appliance. These steps are covered in
sections;
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.
1.1 Passwords for the pre-configured demo users
Please contact your company’s system administrator for your company-specific demo user passwords. Demo users provided in
the appliance which are used for the Demo Scripts were delivered with the password “Welcome1”, however SAP recommends
changing these.
If you experience user/logon issues, please contact your team’s SAP S/4HANA Appliance system administrator.
