Client Hardware Requirements - Portal Usage

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

is there a guideline what is the minimal/recommended hardware requirement for a Client PC. So it is able to access SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal.

Maybe more detailed than "Every Modern PC"

Is there an official SAP statement regarding this?

Hi Michael...

System Requirements :

Operating System:

Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3); Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1) or Windows Server 2003

NTFS-File systems

Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher or Firefox 1.0 or higher

At least 1 GB RAM, 2 GB are recommended

Intel Pentium III/1.1 GHz or higher (or compatible)

14 GB free hard disk space (8.6 GB for the installed software and 4,9 GB for the installer software)

High-resolution monitor (1024x768 or higher, 256 colors)

Sun Microsystems J2SE SDK version 1.4.2_08 or 1.4.2_09 (Sun JDK 1.5 not tested)

Please navigate to J2SE SDK version 1.4.2_09 installation archive site if you need to install this software.

If you have already installed SAP products on your computer, you must ensure that none of the systems are called "J2E".

The file C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services (Windows 2000) or C:\Windows\system\32\drivers\etc\services (Windows XP) must not include an entry for the ports 3601, 3201 and 50100 to 50130. A possible entry can be excluded by using the hash symbol (#).

If no DHCP server is available on your network (which dynamically determines the IP address) or your computer is not connected to any network, you need to install the virtual interface adapter MS Loopback Adapter.

To use Interactive Forms based on Adobe software, you must install the necessary credential file and activate it using a unique password.

Download the latest credential and password from SDN.

If necessary, install the SUN J2SE SDK version 1.4.2_09.

Thanks....

HII Michael,

you can find a description of the hardware requirements in the Installation Guide (http://service.sap.com/ep --> Product Information --> Enterprise Portal 6.0 --> Documentation & More --> Installation).

It says something like:

? Disk Space: The portal application requires 1G available. The DB requires 6GB - 10G

? RAM: 2 GBytes

? Dual CPU, 2x700

Nevertheless, this should not be considered as a general answer. The hardware and architecture is pretty much dependend on your requirements (development or production system), the expected number of users and load, the availability ...

So 'good performance' is somehow subjective and a quite broadband term.

And pls also check this link:
