1 Purpose This document lists all software required to implement and run the solution.
If the SAP CRM rapid-deployment solution V6.703 is implemented following the pre- assembled deployment approach, this document rather serves as a reference (as opposed to a requirements) document, listing the software which is already part of the pre-assembled system. Refer to SAP Note 1992121 for current information on availability of SAP CRM software appliances (pre-assembled rapid-deployment solutions) and more details.
2 Required Product Versions and Software Components 2.1 Important Release and Support Package Level Information The deliverables of SAP Best Practices packages are developed and tested in a system landscape with specific release and support package stack (SPS) level, as documented below. SAP recommends to meet this SPS as minimal SPS level. If you need a higher SPS level in your system, for example, because of additional functionality, ideally first import and activate the SAP Best Practices package on the mentioned SPS level, then update your system to the target SPS level. If SAP Best Practices content is activated directly on a higher SPS level (for example, if the recommended SPS level is not available anymore), some automated activation steps might fail, however still can be processed manually following the related configuration guide. Also note that some of the SAP Notes which are considered relevant for the scope of the solution package might be obsolete due to a higher SPS level, and additional SAP Notes could exist. For delivery of the software, an installation number and a corresponding license agreement are required. An S-USER is required to order software in the Software Catalog or download from the SAP Software Download Center (SWDC) on SAP Service Marketplace (SMP). You can only order unrestricted SAP software. 2.2 General Software Requirements The following table lists the software required to implement and run the solution:

* The logical component in SAP Solution Manager is an identifier provided by SAP for the combination of the product and product version. When selecting the SAP Solution Manager template later on, the logical component provided by SAP will automatically be mapped with the logical component in the customer system landscape with the same combination of product and product version to set up access from SAP Solution Manager to the correct customer system. ** As part of implementing the SAP CRM rapid-deployment solution, the SAP CRM system can be integrated with the customer’s existing SAP ERP system. However, it is also possible to deploy the SAP CRM rapid-deployment solution in a CRM standalone manner. In this case, the SAP ERP client is not required. Also in case of pre-assembled deployment the ERP system is not part of the pre-assembled system, but the customer’s existing SAP ERP system needs to be integrated during the implementation project. End users access SAP CRM via their local Web browsers. Exception: the Interaction Center Manager must access SAP GUI to generate and assign call lists for the Interaction Center Marketing (C81) scenario.

For the latest information about supported web browsers, refer to SAP’s Product Availability Matrix, which bundles technical information on SAP components for quick reference (http://service.sap.com/pam; enter EHP3 FOR SAP CRM 7.0) and SAP Note 1876371.
If SAP Best Practices scope item CRM Interactive Reporting (CR2) is in scope: As of SAP Enhancement Package 3 for SAP CRM 7.0 CRM the user interface (UI) to display reporting data is based on HTML5, replacing the previous UI based on Adobe Flash. Note that this technology is only supported as of the following browser versions: Microsoft Internet Explorer, as of Version 9 Mozilla Firefox, as of version 17 Safari, as of version 5 Google Chrome If you want to use a browser version that is not supported, do not activate business function CRM_ANA_UI5: Interactive Reporting Using UI Development Toolkit for HTML5 so that you can use the Interactive Reporting UI based on Adobe Flash. However also note that some CRM Interactive Reporting features also depend on that technology, such as embedding Interactive Reports on Home, overview and work center pages (related to business function CRM_EMBED_IR_ANA_UI: Embedded Interactive Reporting and SAP HANA Live Reporting Analytics). For details refer to the release information, e.g. via transaction /sfw5 (Switch Framework Customizing). For scenarios in which survey and questionnaire functionality is used (such as Activity Management, Lead Management, and Opportunity Management), you have to activate the Virtual Machine Container (VMC). For more information about activating the VMC, see SAP Note 854170. In the pre-assembled system the Virtual Machine Container is activated. The Adobe Flash plugin needs to be installed on the user’s local browser for using the graphical segmentation modeler (scope item Lean Campaign Management). For detailed information, see SAP Note 1334838). It is also required for using the graphical buying center feature (within scope items Account and Contact Management and Opportunity Management) and the dashboard feature in the context of the Accelerated Agent Inbox based on SAP HANA. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required for using the Interactive Scripting Editor within the business processes Interaction Center Marketing and Interaction Center Sales. JRE allows end- users to run Java applications and needs to be installed on the user’s local PC. Use any version of Java™ Plug-In higher than 1.6. For details see SAP Note 717921. HTTPS is prerequisite for: scope item Activity Management using Desktop Connection for SAP CRM dashboard functionality (Inbox Work Distribution Dashboard) within scope item Interaction Center Service Request Management (in the context of the Accelerated Agent Inbox based on SAP HANA)
