Hybris is an e-commerce product platform that is used to address a family of products involving Customer Experience and Management. Hybris is not a single product like SAP ERP or SAP BW system, rather it is a group of products to provide end to end customer engagement experience.

SAP Hybris is also different from SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer, which is a cloud-based CRM application that has been recently renamed by SAP as SAP Hybris C4C solution. Hybris offers products for Commerce, Billing or Revenue, Sales, Service and Marketing and SAP Hybris Marketing is completely different from Hybris Commerce.

    Hybris Installation & Setup

    SAP Commerce packages are delivered as ZIP archive files. Download and unpack the required files before you begin the installation. SAP Commerce is protected by a license that allows you to start it up and unlock features; you must install a license to use it.

    Assuming you have a Hybris source package available with a viable license to install and explore in your local machine, let’s jump to the easy steps on how to install SAP Commerce (Hybris) package.

    Step 1 : Download and unzip SAP Commerce package

    • Download hybris source zip. E.g. CXCOMM190500P_X-XXXXXXXX.zip which contains all the files to install and run SAP Commerce.
    • Create/Choose the directory in which you want to install hybris and unzip the source code into it.
    • Once extracted, it will create a directory structure as below (Note: We will understand the directory structure in detail in another post)
    sap-commerce-package

    “hybris” is the root directory containing the source we can call it <HYBRIS_HOME>

    Step 2 : Set-up Apache Ant Environment properties

    In a command prompt / terminal, Go to <Hybris_Home>/bin/platform

    Run command :

    • . ./setantenv.sh
    • for windows, it will be ‘setantenv.bat’
    apache-ant-environment-properties

    This step will set up the ant environment as a local build framework

    Step 3 : Perform Build

    After setting up apache ant environment in the terminal, run following command :

    • ant clean all

    When prompted, select ‘develop‘ for the development environment. This is the default value so if you press Enter without selecting anything, it will set up and develop as default input.

    apache-ant-environment-in-the-terminal

    Default is Develop :

    apache-ant-environment-in-the-terminal-default-is-develop

    Once the build is finished, you will get a build successful message.

    You will notice more folders created under the Hybris_Home directory like config and data. We will read about these folder structures in another related post.

    Step 4 : Initialize the database

    Open <Hybris_Home>/config/local.properties in any file editor and add a password for admin user using the following property :

    • initial password.admin=<password_of_your_choice>

    Run

    Step 5 : Start and access Hybris

    Run below command in <hybris_home>/bin/platform folder

    • ./hybrisserver.sh
