However, Google is definitely on the right track with ChromeOS. That said, I am not sure Dell intended this device to be running SAPGui and Java, inside a Linux container, on top of ChromeOS, when they pushed it out. As a low cost, occasional use machine, it might cut it in a pinch for SAP access, barring the remote access VPN/Linux subsysten problem. It could certainly benefit from more resources to run the Java GUI. The Dell ChromeBook is a nice piece of kit for what it is.

It is questionable whether it would cut it as a daily driver running the SAGui for Java. Performance is adequate for this sort of exercise.

The Chromebook doesn’t bring a boatload of resources to the table.

When connected to a wireless or wired network where a VPN is not required the SAPGui is able to establish a session with the target system (See follow up below).

There is a “feature” in the Linux implementation on ChromeOS that prevents a remote network from being accessed when connected to a VPN.

JAVA_HOME and PATH were set using the user bash profile for persistence.

After messing with the OpenJDK Java implementation (issues wih missing AWT libraries), Oracle 64 bit Java SDK for linux was downloaded onto the Chromebook.Flipped the OS to the beta channel and Linux showed up (as of this post, the Dell is not one of the machines on the current list of ChromeBooks where Linux shows up on the stable channel).Here is what I needed to do on the Chromebook to get there: Since Google is rolling out a Linux container on newer Chromebooks with the latest round of Chrome OS updates, I gave it a go.įollowing a combination of search results on installing Java on Linux and SAPGui for Java, I got the Gui running on the ChromeBook and was able to execute some transactions in an ECC6 system. However, there were a number of articles on SAPGui for Java on Linux. I didn’t see much on Chromebooks and SAPGui other than a few articles on using the WebGui on the web. With the recent addition of Linux to the ChromeBook I was intrigued and curious as to how a budget PC would work in the enterprise. Recently, I picked up a Dell Inspiron 3181 Chromebook with a Celeron processor and 4GB of ram.
