In the Spotlight September 2009

In TKU September we released one of our most effective patterns ever: SAP-Business-Suite.

We are showcasing its features on this page.

SAP Business Suite

Originally, our SAP pattern only recognized the Application Server. Our new SAP Business Suite pattern now recognizes the Application Server, the supporting Database, and the SAP Suite. Furthermore, it maps these components together, shows their location in your estate, displays their interdependencies, provides Licensing data, and lists all the installed SAP Components.

SAP Business Suite in a Visualization

You can clearly see how 2 Application Server Instances, and the supporting Microsoft-SQL-Server Database are mapped to the SAP Suite Instance. You can also see how the type, ECC, is indicated in the caption. In this particular case, all the Instances are running on the same Host.
