6 1.1.1 SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 is the core component of this rapid-deployment solution and is deployed on EhP1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.3. It can also be deployed on an existing ERP instance. SAP Portfolio and Project Management enables you to better control and innovate projects, processes, products, and services across their lifecycles. SAP Portfolio and Project Management helps you standardize and improve project management execution and reduce associated administrative and system costs, by providing reliable project management functions that can be deployed independently or integrated into your backend systems (such as HR and Financials). For SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0, you need the following software components: Description of Component Mandatory Remark SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 Business Package for SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 SAP Business Suite Foundation 731 Enhancement package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.3 Required Support package stack 09 Optional This business package must be deployed if you want to install SAP Portfolio and Project Management on an existing SAP NetWeaver Portal. Required Support package stack 05 Required Support package stack 07 For more information about required support packages for SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0, see SAP Note EhP6 for SAP ERP 6.0 or Higher Release For the implementation of this solution, it is assumed that the customer has been using an existing SAP ECC system on release level SAP ECC 6.0 or higher to manage projects with an SAP Project System. Technically, the solution can run on EhP6 for SAP ERP 6.0 but was tested on the above mentioned release. For the integration of SAP Portfolio and Project Management and SAP ECC, the required minimum support package stacks (for lower releases) are as follows: SAP ERP 6.0 SP21 SAP ERP 6.0 EHP2 SP11 SAP ERP 6.0 EHP3 SP10 SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 SP11 SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 SP08 SAP ERP 6.0 EHP6 SP05 SAP AG Page 6 of 10

7 1.2 SAP Frontend Components SAP GUI is required for the Customizing of the SAP Portfolio and Project Management backend. Users can access SAP Portfolio and Project Management using SAP NetWeaver Business Client or the SAP NetWeaver Portal. In the latter case it is assumed that the customer has an existing SAP NetWeaver Portal already in place. When you use SAP Portfolio and Portfolio Management 5.0 in SAP NetWeaver Portal, ensure that the protocol used by SAP Portfolio and Project Management to access the portal and the protocol used by the portal to access the backend system is the same. For example, if you use HTTPS for the portal, you must use HTTPS for SAP Portfolio and Project Management. For usage in the SAP NetWeaver Portal, the following usage types are supported: SAP NetWeaver Business Client for HTML Browser Supported browser versions are Internet Explorer 6.1, 7.0, 8.0 and Firefox 3.5.x. For more information about supported Web browsers, see SAP Note SAP NetWeaver Business Client for Desktop 3.0 For more information about supported front-end components, see SAP Note Ensure that you have installed the latest and appropriate SAP frontend components. To download SAP frontend components, go to the SAP Software Download Center (SWDC) on SAP Service Marketplace: Support Packages and Patches Browse our Download Catalog SAP Frontend Components SAP NETWEAVER BUSINESS CLIENT 1.3 SAP Solution Manager and SAP Solution Manager Content Add-on For the implementation of the solution package, a SAP Solution Manager system is recommended. SAP Solution Manager in general is needed for installing and managing maintenance certificates, Enhancement Packages and upgrades. In the context of SAP Rapid-Deployment solutions, implementation content is delivered via SAP Solution Manager templates. It is assumed that a productive SAP Solution Manager system is available in the customer s system landscape: if the customer is already using other SAP products (for example, SAP ERP), SAP Solution Manager should already be present in the system landscape. Import the following content add-on corresponding to the SAP Solution Manager product version in place: Software Component Product Version SP Level Description SAP AG Page 7 of 10

This technical framework is continuously updated providing enhanced, fixed, or additional technical objects required for the technical implementation process. SAP Best Practices therefore offers updated versions of the add-ons on a regular basis. Each updated add-on replaces the previous version in your system. For more information about the currently available versions of the add-on BP-ERP and the add-on BP-SOLBLD, see SAP Note (see also section SAP Notes and Messages of this document.) Since the solution file and the most current installation data files always correspond to the current technical add-ons, you always have to ensure the system has been updated with the current versions before you start the technical implementation of the SAP Best Practices version. The update of the technical framework has no impact on scope or business content of your SAP Best Practices version as it is described in the respective documentation. SAP AG Page 9 of 10

10 2 System Landscape The graphic above outlines the required components to run RDS including the integration scenarios. All the listed components are planned to be in General Availability when the RDS is released to customer. To run the RDS a PPM 5.0 SP09 installation is required and a SAP ERP ECC 6.0 or higher. As delivered in the RDS the integration between PPM and the underlying ERP system is done directly via RFC calls.
