EP 6.0 and BW in one system

Former Member

Hello everyone,

We currently run EP 6.0 SP2 and BW 3.1 on separate systems and are looking at upgrading to EP 6.0 SP11 and BW 3.5. We have a Netweaver sandbox system setup with both running in one system and I was thinking we could consolidate these into one productive system and possibly save some hardware along the way. It seems with proper sizing it would be possible to do this. Does anyone have any experience with running these together productively or is anyoneelse thinking of going that route?

Regards,

Stephen

Your biggest consideration is regarding the UME. When you run combined ABAP/JAVA stacks then the UME for Java must be in the ABAP stack - so all your EP users will be managed with SU01. Certain user management functions are not fully available in the EP user mgmnt iViews (meaning you will need to use ABAP transactions for some UM activities), this is discussed in both Web AS and EP release restrictions note.

From a performance perspective you won't find much difference between running them seperately (i.e. not in a combined stack) but on the same host vs. running them together in the same instance.

Thanks for the helpful info Nick. We would actually like to try to utilize the LDAP connector to update a central CUA system from our MS Active Directory, then the portal system would be a child client off of that. As long as we would not lose functionality it would be fine for us to manage some of the UM activities via SU01.

I certainly can see scenarios where the UM considerations work in favor of integrating, as long as you are aware of the administrative effort and decide it is worth it. Updating LDAP from ABAP is a well-tested process.
