E-Sourcing 7.0

[Satyabrata_Basu]

Hi,

We are looking into a project to install E-Sourcing as "on-premise" solution and integrate with ECC 6.0 in backend.

We have following questions:

1. E-Sourcing 5.1 is supported under mainstream maintenance until 2012. I understood from some other postings, that next planned on-premise release is E-Sourcing 7.0. When it's going to be available for "General Availability" ?

2. E-Sourcing 5.1 curently does not support IBM DB2 V9.5 or higher. Is E-Sourcing 7.0 will be supported on DB2 V9.5 (or even V9.7) ?

3. Which Netweaver J2EE server will be supported with E-Sourcing 7.0 ? Will it still be able to deploy using Netweaver J2EE 7.0 ? (btw: E-Sourcing 5.1 is suppirted by Netweaver 7.0 SPS13 or higher).

4. Will E-Sourcing 7.0 still be able to install on AIX server ?

5. Should we wait until E-Sourcing 7.0 is released to start with the project ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers !!

Satya.

Hi All,

Is it possible to integrate SAP E-sourcing 7.0 with SAP Netweaver Portal 7.3?  Also SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3 supports integration with SRM,BI,KMC & other SAP modules also?

Awaiting your kind response,

Thanks and Regards,

Raghu.

HI,

First of all, below statments are all based on the current plan and the actual details may change in the future.

1. E-Sourcing 5.1 is supported under mainstream maintenance until 2012. I understood from some other postings, that next planned on-premise release is E-Sourcing 7.0. When it's going to be available for "General Availability" ?

[SK] The next on-premise release is E-Sourcing 7.0 and it is planned for RTC (Releat to Customer / ramp-up) in Q4 2010 and planned for GA (General Availability) in Q1 2011.

If customer is open for on-demand deployment, the on-demand version with the same content will be made generally available in Q3 2010. The next on-demand release is called E-Sourcing On-Demand Wave 7.

2. E-Sourcing 5.1 curently does not support IBM DB2 V9.5 or higher. Is E-Sourcing 7.0 will be supported on DB2 V9.5 (or even V9.7) ?

[SK] In E-Sourcing 7.0, we are planning to support IBM DB2 V9.5 and V9.7.

3. Which Netweaver J2EE server will be supported with E-Sourcing 7.0 ? Will it still be able to deploy using Netweaver J2EE 7.0 ? (btw: E-Sourcing 5.1 is suppirted by Netweaver 7.0 SPS13 or higher).

[SK] In E-Sourcing 7.0, we are planning to support NetWeaver CE 7.20 or above and NetWeaver 7.3 or above.

4. Will E-Sourcing 7.0 still be able to install on AIX server ?

[SK] Yes.

5. Should we wait until E-Sourcing 7.0 is released to start with the project ?

[SK] This depends on each individual customer's situation.

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Steven and all,

Is the on-premise version of E-sourcing out on general release?

We need to implement the e-sourcing on premise version.

Thanks

Hi there,

Was recently told by SAP that on-premise will be available in June 2011.
