RDBMS and LATFORM SUPPORT for SAP XI

[Former Member]

Hello!

I would like to know, whether the following RDBMS and PLATFORM SUPPORT-requirements (below) can be realized with SAP XI or not. I will be very thankful if someone can help me by answering of the following questions (if it is possible, Yes/No and with short explanation/comment)

<b>RDBMS</b>

a) database accept binary-large-objects (BLOBs) and be referenced via the relational engine.

b) standard pre-defined SQL queries and related calculations provided for use with industry standard reporting tools

c) database monitoring tools be used to manage impending maintenance needs and potential problems and performance impacts (i.e., tool will monitor and detect prior to real problem occurring)

<b>PLATFORM SUPPORT</b>

a) Software supported on OS clustered servers (If mutliple products, please indicate if all are support or list areas where clustering may not be recommended and why)

b) software supported on HP-UX 11.i V2 (r6) on Itanium

c) software supported on Windows 2003 sp1 (x64) on AMD Opteron

Thank you!

Regards

A. Henke

RDBMS

a) database accept binary-large-objects (BLOBs) and be referenced via the relational engine. - Better not to include custom objects in the SAP Database. It should be possible.

b) standard pre-defined SQL queries and related calculations provided for use with industry standard reporting tools, You can try,

c) database monitoring tools be used to manage impending maintenance needs and potential problems and performance impacts (i.e., tool will monitor and detect prior to real problem occurring) - Many installations use some tool to do monitoring, but SAP standard transactions are sufficient for good monitoring. try to practice them

PLATFORM SUPPORT

a) Software supported on OS clustered servers (If mutliple products, please indicate if all are support or list areas where clustering may not be recommended and why) - I think SAP will not support Clusters(except windows cluster, with some support). Your OS/Hardware vendor should support it on SAP environment.

b) software supported on HP-UX 11.i V2 (r6) on Itanium - Yes, i think

c) software supported on Windows 2003 sp1 (x64) on AMD Opteron - Yes
