APO System Requirements

From Evaluation To Production

 SAP AG System Requirements 1

Components of an APO System

Presentation Server: special APO GUI (Win 95, NT)

Application Server (AP): currently only NT/Unix

can be identical with database server

Database Server (DB): currently only NT/Unix, Oracle 8.0

liveCache: currently only NT, constrained by main memory

 Possible System Sizes
XS

Micro System: all on one box (currently only under NT)

S Small System: AP and DB server on one box,

live cache separate, optimisation server on front-ends

L Big System: several AP servers, DB server, live cache(s) separate,

optimisation servers on high end machines
