SAP E-Sourcing architecture

114 Views

We are going to implement E-Souricng 5.1 , CLM with SRM-EBP & SRM-SUS 7.0, I am a little confused about the E-Sourcing architecture:

1) In our case E-Sourcing will be deoployed in SAP J2EE, so my understanding is E-Sourcing will use the same database (oracle or DB2) with the SAP J2EE server, not necessary for a dedicated database except for SAP J2EE database, right?

2) E-Soucing & CLM will be placed behind the firwall. We are going to put a SRM-SUS portal in DMZ, so I am curious can we use this external SUS protal to replace the recommended Web server (such as apache, IIS etc)? It makes more sense for me to use one portal (SUS portal) to connect to different SAP netweaver based systems such as SRM-SUS & E-Sourcing for external access. How about CLM access via SAP portal?

3) It seems Contract Management is a seperated component from E-Soucing and can only be deployed on Win2003 32bits servers. In which scenario, is this component mandatory to be installed?

TIA

James
