Windows Server minimum requirement for SAP B1 HANA version installed on Linux server running SUSE

[former_member566843]

I have installed SAP B1 HANA version on Linux server running SUSE (SLES FOR SAP). We have 11 users.

I have been told we would also require Windows server will be required to install crystal reports and few other components of SAP B1 hana.

i want to ask if follow specification of my old windows server are enough to get the best performance of SAP B1 HANA.

My windows server specification

INTEL XEON CPU E3-1220 V3@3.1GHZ

RAM 12 GB

operating system : Windows Server 2008 R2 STANDARD

Will this low specification of my windows server cause any performance issues in any of SAP B1 Hana components??

Hi Hussain.

The main reason is that the Windows 2008 R2 standard end of extended support on 14/01/2020. within an year you may need to either migration or upgrade the existing OS from windows 2008 R2 to 2012 or 2016.

Thankyou Sriram

My SAP B1 Hana database is on linux server. Only mobile app and crystal report and some other small components will be installed on Windows server.

i have not checked Sap PAM. i cannot open the Sap note.

Kindly inform me if there is any reason i should upgrade to windows server 2016 ? or upgrade other configuration

Hi Hussain.

1. Have you check the SAP PAM about the Windows OS ?

2. Windows 2008 R2 is going to End of Extended Vendor Support on 14/01/2020, better you can use the Windows OS either 2012 or 2016.

refer the SAP Note 1177282.
