Apple M1 and real SAP Basis Support
Inspired by the long history in the Apple Device usage (going back to the first Apple PowerBook 170 in 1993) and the recently purchase of an Apple MacBook Air with the new M1 Chip, I wanted to figure out, if it is really possible my SAP main working device (currently a Lenovo Yoga X1 can be replaced by a Apple MacBook Pro with the new M2 ARM Chip.
Over the time, I have added several (SAP Basis) Administration Tools which are used intensively to organize the SAP System components I need for the daily work
- MobaXterm (also a PuTTY replacement)
- WinSCP (for secure file transfer)
- SAP HANA Studio (administrate SAP HANA)
- SAP GUI 7.70 (access SAP Systems)
- SnagIt (advanced screen capture)
- Waterfox Browser (Browser with Flash Support)
- Notepad++ (source code editor)
- SAP Download Manager (download multiple files simultaneously)
- SapMachine 18 and higher (free JDK from SAP)
So is there really an Alternative available for the new Apple MacBook Pro/Air Devices with the M Chip? What is out of Question is the Microsoft Office365 Support including the new Outlook for Mac, Microsoft Teams and OneDrive.
Tools like Zoom, WhatsApp, Chrome, Mozilla, Acrobat Reader, Jabra, etc are available in all flavors.
Furthermore the needed Security/VPN Tools are available for macOS as well, and out internal IT provided a complete support/migration from one OS to another (Self Service Mac@SAP)
my short list looks currently like that:
- Homebrew package manager (for SapMachine)
- CleanMyMac X (for various reasons)
- Royal TSX Server (for SSH and SCP usage)
- Cyberduck (storage browser for macOS)
- SAP Java GUI 7.80 (native M1/2 Support)
- SAP HANA Studio on macOS
- Atom (comprehensive Editor for macOS)
- Citrix Workspace for macOS
- Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS
So let’s see how these tools can really make the life of an SAP Basis Administrator easier, using an Apple Device instead of an Windows Device. Why Mac – Why Windows
the new SAP Java GUI 7.80
