Hi Jeff,

According to the SAP Note given below:

Note 325616 - ITS 6.20 System requirements

SAP ITS 6.20 on 64 bit is supported as off patch level 22, however please read the maintainence strategy in detail:

https://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01200572170000061091&;

According to

SAP Note 197746 - Maint. strategy: Internet Transaction Server (ITS)

Release 6.20 is supported "longterm". The date for end of support for release 6.20 depends on the maintenance deadlines for the SAP products which need the SAP ITS. As long as one of these products is supported, the ITS 6.20 will also be supported. Currently the product with the longest lifecycle is SAP ECC 5.0 (until 31st of March 2013).

For a formal confirmation from SAP , I suggest you open an OSS message and post your state ( ITS release versions etc) and ask them if ITS 64 bit's last date is 31st March 2013

Hi,

ITS 64 bit is alreay existing and supported as it is integrated in Basis since WAS 6.40.

It is now an HTTP handler in SICF.

If you speak about external ITs then I think it will never be supported on 64 bit...

Unfortunately it means that the windows single sign on for abap stack is no more supported (which is, in my opinion, a shame). You need now a java stack for windows single sign on.

Hi Oliver,

I think Microsoft is to blame for this.. Check this note:

Note 959781 - SAP ITS 6.20: Restricted support on Windows 32 bit

The above note provides the story.
