SAProuter and SAP services

[Former Member]

Hi All.

Does SAPROUTER is a mandatory tool that must be configure to enable any SAP service, like SLM, EWA or SNOTE?

Does every customer need to have a SAPROUTER installation on their network?

What are the most important services SAPROUTER cannot provide to a customer if the security network team doesn't allow SAPROUTER use?

Can someone help me to provide some good reasons to ensure SAPROUTER is important to every SAP system installation, and most important to Solution Manager?

Kind regards.

SAProuter is necessary to enable the SAP support connect to your systems. Without an installed saprouter (one is enough, not one for each system) the support can't connect to your systems and hence can't help.

If you read your SAP support contract (you signed) you will see that an installed and working saprouter is part of it.

Yes , you must have SAP router config. on your network for any kind of interaction with SAP. For EWA, SAP consultant only connects your server if you have SAP router config. Else not. Hope you understand its importance.

For Network security, itu2019s not breaching any security itu2019s helping network team for secure access of SAP server by SAP.
