How to download an SCN SAP Software Download Package

The SCN Download Catalog on the SAP Store offers a modern design and a clear catalog structure.
The first catalog page indicates the package name and version, how it is rated and a short description
of the download package. The SCN download packages are marked accordingly. Please note that the
download button is labelled with Trial Version because it refers to a special Store template. We are
working on it to change it accordingly. The packages are free and globally available. The downloads
are classified under a Store template for Germany and US. If necessary please filter for the country
page name at the top of the Store page to U.S. or Germany.
When clicking on the download button, a pop-up window opens. In order to get the download, you
need to fill in your credentials and to accept the SAP Terms and Conditions (End User License
Agreement) by marking the corresponding check fields. The download link will be provided to you via
email. From the download overview page on SAP Store you can get further information about the
download package by opening the corresponding tabs (for example, screenshots and videos additional technical information, customer reviews, solution provider and related solutions displayed
as small widgets).

For SAP employees: How to upload a new free of charge SCN SAP
Software Download Package
You want to provide a software artifact for free of charge download on SCN. Check if your use case
and software type matches the criteria of the SCN Delivery Track. You need to follow this track to
comply with legal and SAP corporate requirements. Requirements (deliverables) for the free of
charge SAP software downloads are described in the cPro program template for SCN Deliveries SCN
Delivery Blueprint (static). You need a cPro program project with the blueprint structure (task tree) to
document the deliverables of your software package. The cPro program project acts as your
checklist. So, each software download needs a node in cPro with the task tree to track the
deliverables. When the deliverable is available and uploaded to the project, you can set the task
Status to green. This helps you to keep an overview about your open action items. If you have special
questions about an individual task, you can send a mail to the distribution list or to the person listed
as task contact. Your contact partner for the SCN Delivery process itself is Birgit Sabaschus. Read
more about the SCN Delivery Track and have also a look to the corresponding FAQ.
If you already have a cPro program project, you can include the SCN Delivery template into the
project by yourself. You can request new programs in the tool Program Repository
(https://ifp.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMSZpPTEmcz1TSUQlM2FBTk9OJTNhcHdkZjU3ODJfSUZ

How to upload an updated version of an SCN SAP Software Download

Package
This process is valid for minor versions and small updates. For major version changes (e.g. different
open source components) you need to follow the SCN Delivery Track again. If you have to update
your software package which is already available for download on SAP Store, please do the following
steps:

Provide the URL location of your software package update and put it on
\\DWDF219.wdf.sap.corp\SCNDownloadw\yoursolutionname\
Provide the new version number of your software package update.
Provide the cPro project name and URL corresponding to the approved download version.
Provide the URL or ID number to the current SAP Store page.

Upload the information about the version update into your cPro project program (see
above).
The publishing request process will take 3-7 working days and depends on cPro approval.
Once published, the new entry will appear on the SAP Store and on the Software Download
Search list.

What is new

To make your actual software download package more visible on the Store, you can now
provide images and videos.
Under the general software download package name all relevant versions are listed on the
Store, you get them having filled out the credentials form and accepted the EULA.
Please note that the download button is labelled with Trial Version because it refers to a
special Store template. We are working on it to change it accordingly.
The packages are free and globally available. The downloads are classified under a Store
template for Germany and US. If necessary please filter for the country page name at the top
of the Store page to U.S. or Germany.
Your packages are now listed in the Store under the naming SCN package name.

How to get a Reporting (Page Views and Software Package Downloads)

One of the pain points and key reasons for the migration was the fact that the exact number of
downloads for each software download package couldnt be tracked. SAP Store provides now a
monthly reporting including page views and the number of downloads for each software package.
The reporting will be published on the Software Downloads Space.
