ECC 6 with BIW on same server?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am installing ECC 6 (ABAP) in one server, now there is a requirement for BW also, in ECC 6 version BW comes with the ERP 2005 CDs, and does SAP recommends to install in same server as well?.

(In ECC 5 I had a separate server for BW, and installed as another SID..can same is possible or along with ERP the BW also suggested)

thanks,

Mathew

Hi Mathew,

Currently, you can only implement SAP ECC/SAP NetWeaver BI on the same server on a project basis. (You'll see this mentioned in the upgrade/installation guides for SAP ECC.) This means that you will need to get approval from SAP to pursue this option. SAP will review your project to determine whether we think you are a good candidate for this approach and monitor your project. Please see SAP Note 855534 for more information on this landscape option.

You can also find more on this in some of the threads on the Integration with mySAP ERP 2004 forum at

Hi Katie,

your answer refers to the question of installing

within the same system (instance). In my understanding, the original question (and my answer) was about the same server. Now we have answered both:-)

hi Klaus,

Sorry for the ambiguity, my real concern was to install ECC and BW with one SID and one server (physical hardware as well). Your answer to the sizing and Kaite’s answer to the compatibility notes was really helpful. As the BI and ECC in same SID concept is new, both the answers was really helpful. And thanks a lot to both of you.

Hi Mathew,

you can install different systems on one server. It is a matter of sizing, performance and other dependencies (like OS updates) you may not want to have for two different systems. There is no general to do so or not to.
