SAP System Requirements
Release 4.6C
SAP Frontend
SAP GUI for Windows
The requirements stated below are minimum requirements for using the SAP frontend program "SAP GUI" on a
personal computer. Note also the corresponding recommendations of the operating system manufacturers. If you
use SAP's desktop integration on your workstation, the requirements of the corresponding office programs should
also be noted. The SAP Online Documentation may impose additional requirements stated in the following
section.
General Considerations
SAP assumes that the supported operating systems or the required software packages are downward-compatible
if not specified differently by the producer. In case of doubt, an exception list is defined.
Example: NT Release 4.0 SP3 implies the NT release 4.0 SP 4, IE 4.01 implies IE 5.
Counter-example: Office 95 does not imply Office 97 since these versions of the Office software are not
compatible with each other according to Microsoft
Definition "minimal":
1 session SAP GUI
1 Internet Explorer to display the SAP Online Documentation
Definition "Recommended":
3 sessions SAP GUI
1 Internet Explorer to display the SAP Online Documentation
1 additional office product or mail client
For work centers where you work with desktop integration, the request of the corresponding office programs
should also be noted.
For work centers with higher requirements than specified here (for example, more than 3 sessions or additional
programs running at the same time, such as office product PLUS mail client and so on, third-party software) it
may be required in individual cases to make estimations and to carry out tests.
In general, the following applies:
Processor: Maximum of individual specifications
Memory:
Total of individual specifications
Hard disk: Total of individual specifications
Possibly you have to consider a platform change (Windows NT) because of the limited possibilities
(administration of so-called GDI resources) of Win95 and Win98.
For graphical applications (SAP ArchiveLink, Customizing, Graphical Screen Painter), a graphics card with a
1024 x 768 resolution (or higher) is recommended.

(*)
When you use the GUI "light", R/3 looks as in earlier (up to and including 4.5B) releases, thus not with
"enjoy" design. Both versions are identical in their functionality but have differences in their graphic design.
The GUI "light" ensures the use on the PC hardware infrastructure which was recommended in Release 4.5.
A PC hardware upgrade is therefore not absolutely necessary for Release 4.6.
Windows Terminal Server is supported.
The Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 is required because software components are used which are installed
together with the Internet Explorer. You can still use alternative browsers as default browser.
The requirement "Service Pack 5 for NT 4.0" is a consequence of the Year 2000 requirement on NT. For NT
country versions for which SP 4 is not available, NT 4.0 must be adapted to the local conditions concerning the
Year 2000.

The requirement of 17'' monitor is a result of the recommended resolution of 1024x768 pixels. You are free to use
this resolution on smaller monitors, however, this may not produce an acceptable display quality. If you use a
smaller resolution than the one recommended in the tables above, undesirable scrollbars may appear.

SAP System Requirements
Release 4.6C
(*1)
This Library needs a SAP Gateway for communication. The gateway can be installed on a different
plattform. The types of reachable partner systems for communication (R/2, R/3, ...) depend only on the
gateway platform (see "Communication R/2-R/3: supported communication software for host connection"
and "R/2-Workstation-Software:supported communication software for host connection").
(*2)
The possible communication subsystems are listed in "SAP Supported Communication Software for R/2
Workstation Software (CUA)" and
"SAP Supported Platforms and Communication Software for
Communication R/3 - R/2, R/3 - External programs" for R/2 and R/3 respectively.
(*3)
RFC-Communication with R/2 is supported starting with R/2 Rel. 5.0D (R/2 Rel. 5.0F for systems running
under IMS). For RFC communication with R/2 systems running under IMS APPC/MVS and APPC/IMS are
required (usage of the LU61/LU62 Adapter is not supported). RFC communication with R/2 systems using
external security systems (RAC/F, ACF2, ..) is not supported.
(*4)
This type of RFC communication is not supported for communication to R/2 Systems.
(*5)
There is no SAP cpicslib needed because the communication subsystem already provides a CPI-C library.
(*6)
For communication via SNA a CPI-C Handler on a different platform, which is supported by SAP, must be
used (see "SAP Supported Platforms and ...").
(*7)
For special behavior and limitations see OSS notes 84685 and 91422. In the current version RFC load
balancing is supported only in homogeneous AS/400 configurations.
(*8)
This type of communication is not supported for communication from R/2 Systems under BS2000.
(*9)
For special behavior and limitations see OSS note 119496.
(*10) Standalone RFC programs need the Winsock2 update for Windows 95. This update is automatically
installed by SAP frontend installation program.

The listed network software products can run over different physical network topologies. The transport mediums
tested by SAP are listed in the table. The usage of other topologies supporting the full functionality of the
communications software is possible, but without warranty from SAP.

your environment, please contact your Hardware Manufacturer.
(*3) SNA communication gateways for R/3 systems are not supported by SAP on this platform. To connect the
SAP System to SNA, a stand alone SAP gateway on a different platform supported by SAP (e.g. Windows
