A while back, I wrote a post on building a SAP GUI installer for macOS, where SAP GUI needed to have Oracle's Java 8 JDK as a pre-requisite. Since then Oracle has made an announcement that the use of Oracle's Java 11 JDK is no longer free if you're using it for production work.

Before You Begin

  • Mac OS X 10.8 or higher
  • Ensure that you have Administrator privileges on the system.
  • Ensure that you have 350 MB free on your computer's hard drive.
  • If you are logged into SAPgui, log off and 'Quit' the SAPgui application.
  • If you have an SAP folder on your hard drive within the Applications folder, make a note of the name of the folder. You will be able to revert to the prior version if necessary.

Pre-Installation Instructions

A. SAPgui and Kerberos Tickets

Acquire Kerberos tickets. Tickets are required to connect to SAP systems

  1. SAPgui may bring up the Ticket Viewer to prompt you to obtain Kerberos tickets. If not:
    • You may see an error mentioning 'GSS-API'
    • SAPgui may stall at 'Connecting...'
    • Your SAPgui session may freeze.
      All of these behaviors mean that either you do not have Kerberos tickets, or your Kerberos tickets have expired. To resolve that issue, use the instruction below to get tickets manually.
  2. How to get Kerberos tickets manually
    • Launch Kerberos Ticket Viewer (/Applications/Utilities/Ticket Viewer). On Mac OS Catalina it is located in (/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications)
    • Enter your Kerberos username (the first part of your @mit.edu email address), and your Kerberos password (the password used to check your @mit.edu email).
    • If You cannot find the Ticket Viewer app (Catalina OS) then (re)install the Java JDK, reboot and it should show up.

NOTE: Your Kerberos tickets will last for 10 hours only, and have to be manually renewed if you wish to remain in SAP longer. If you do wish to remain in SAP longer than 10 hours, it's a good idea to renew them at least 20 minutes or so before they expire.
