SAP prerequisites
Supported versions of SAP
- SAP ECC5.0 or later
- SAP R/3 Release 4.6B (see Note)
- SAP R/3 Release 4.6C (see Note)
- SAP R/3 Release 4.7 (see Note)
Notes:
- ICCSAP does not support a particular SAP database. It is certified for the SAP ArchiveLink interface. SAP is still keeping ArchiveLink, like any other application, independent of the database underneath the ERP or BW system, regardless of whether it is Oracle, DB2, SQL Server or HANA.
Further on, S4HANA contains the same KPro and ArchivLink stack as the other ERP versions. - In general, all SAP versions and all SAP applications are supported that contain SAP ArchiveLink. Due to the Unicode limitations in older SAP releases, full support for SAP is limited to SAP ECC5.0 or later. You can use SAP R/3 Release 4.6B, Release 4.6C, and Release 4.7 if you want to perform only those tasks that require the standard SAP ArchiveLink functions according to the SAP specification. Content Collector for SAP enhancements, such as the index transfer, are not supported by those releases.
Important: Support requests must be reproducible on SAP ECC5.0 or later.
Required SAP components
Collector Server requires the following additional SAP components, which are available from the SAP Service Marketplace. For all supported operating systems, you need the 64-bit version of the SAP component.
- SAP Java Connector (JCo) Release 3.0.1 or later
- SAP RFC SDK
The version that you must install depends on your operating system. See SAP note 413708 for the details. - SAP Cryptographic Library
This library is used as a security provider for the SAP ArchiveLink interface.
