What is it - Usage - Type

[#1]

Hello Sap-Experts!

For some documentation I need a definition of "Usage -Type" what does it mean at all.

I didn't find any definitions.

I am very pleased for any help.

Best regards

Hi,

As per note 883948 (Inst.Add.Java Usage Types/Software Units

), The term "software unit" is used as a synonym for "usage type" in the context of SAP ERP, SAP CRM, SAP SRM and SAP SCM.

So basically, usage type is a bundle of programs designed to do something specific. BI usage type would be used to business intelligence, EP usage type is used for portal, etc.

You can find out your current UTs installed on your j2ee stack using

Hope this helps.
