![Ansible Lint](https://github.com/sap-linuxlab/community.sap_install/actions/workflows/ansible-lint.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)

This Ansible Collection executes various SAP Software installations and configuration tasks for running various SAP solutions and deployment scenarios on Linux operating systems (RHEL or SLES).
## Description

This includes handlers for SAP HANA database lifecycle manager (HDBLCM) and SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM), and can be combined with other Ansible Collections to provide end-to-end automation _(e.g. provision, download, install, operations)_.
This Ansible Collection executes various SAP Software installations and configuration tasks for various SAP solutions and deployment scenarios on supported Linux operating systems.

Included roles cover range of tasks:
- Preparation of Operating system and SAP installation media before installation
- Installation of SAP Database, either SAP HANA or Oracle Database
- Installation of SAP Products, like SAP S4HANA, SAP BW4HANA, SAP Netweaver, SAP Solution Manager and others.
- Configuration of replication of SAP HANA and High Availability clusters for SAP HANA and SAP Netweaver

**Examples of verified installations include:**

## Requirements

### Control Nodes
Operating system:
- Any operating system with required Python and Ansible versions.

Python: 3.11 or higher

Ansible: 9.9.x

Ansible-core: 2.16.x

**NOTE: Ansible 10 and ansible-core 2.17.x are not supported, because of breaking changes requiring higher Python version on managed nodes.**

### Managed Nodes
Operating system:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 15 SP5+ (SLE4SAP)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions 8.x 9.x (RHEL4SAP)

**NOTE: Operating system needs to have access to required package repositories either directly or via subscription registration.**


Python: 3.6 or higher


## Installation Instructions

### Installation
Install this collection with Ansible Galaxy command:
```console
ansible-galaxy collection install community.sap_install
```

Optionally you can include collection in requirements.yml file and include it together with other collections using: `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml`
Requirements file need to be maintained in following format:
```yaml
collections:
- name: community.sap_install
```
### Upgrade
Installed Ansible Collection will not be upgraded automatically when Ansible package is upgraded.
To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:
```console
ansible-galaxy collection install community.sap_install --upgrade
```

You can also install a specific version of the collection, when you encounter issues with latest version. Please report these issues in affected Role repository if that happens.
Example of downgrading collection to version 1.4.0:
```
ansible-galaxy collection install community.sap_install:==1.4.0
```

See [Installing collections](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections_guide/collections_installing.html) for more details on installation methods.


## Use Cases

### Example Scenarios
