installation of ECC, XI and SUS on same instance

[Former Member]

Hello all,

could you please clarify what I understood from the SAP documentations regarding the installation of the components mySAP ERP (ECC), Netweaver (XI) and SRM Server (SUS) on the same instance?

- Do I need ECC 5.0 or ECC 6.0 to install SRM Server as an additional component on the same server? SAP speaks of mySAP ERP <b>2005</b> (which means ECC <b>6</b>.0), but at the same time it says ECC <b>5</b>.0.

- I have to install SRM Server 5.0, not SRM Server 5.5?

- I need the XI to transfer documents from the ECC component to the SRM Server component when I use the supplier portal (SUS)?

- I have to configure each component as a separate client on the same system?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Regards,

Hi Karsten,

- SRM can run in a standalone mode (without any R/3 backend), or in more integrated scenario (classic or extended classic), or even more integrated with the new mySAP ERP 2005 scenario (SRM@ERP). In this last scenario, SRM is installed as an add-on on my SAP ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0). In that case, there are some limitations (SRM can not be used in a multi backend scenario...). my SAP ERP licences allow you to use SRM self service procurement, catalog and content management, Invoice Management System. Supplier Enablement (SUS) requires additional pricing.

- Only SRM Server 5.5 (mySAP SRM 5.0) can run on mySAP ERP 2005. End of Ramp Up phase planned for end of may.

- Yes, order collaboration scenario uses XI to exchange PO/ASN/GR... messages

- No. If you use SRM@ERP scenario, the same client is shared. Shopping carts created in "SRM", are transfered into "R/3" documents. If you use a separate SRM server, then it has its own WAS/Client landscape.

Hello Christophe,

thanks for the quick answers. But another question arises from it:

When I use ECC and SRM Server 5.5 with the Supplier Enablement scenario (i.e. SUS), I need the XI.

-Do I have to install the XI on a separate client (in addition to the ECC/SUS client), or can I use only one client for all three components?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Karsten,

I think XI can be installed on mySAP ERP as well.

It's more a question of server sizing and performance.

Vendors are accessing to SUS, so usually it is installed in a secured area (in the DMZ).

You talked about "ECC/SUS client" : I don't think it has been validated to use SUS on mySAP ERP (like for SRM side).

You can have one box for ECCSRMXI (One Client Deployment), and one box for SUS.
