1 Getting Started

You use the Master Guide to get an overview of SAP MII, its software units, and its scenarios from a

technical perspective. The Master Guide is a planning tool that helps you to design your system

landscape. It refers you to the required detailed documentation, mainly the following:

■ Installation guides for single software units

■ SAP Notes

■ Configuration documentation

■ SAP Library documentation

For a general overview of the available SAP documentation, see The Main SAP Documentation Types.

The Master Guide consists of the following main sections:

■ SAP MII Overview

● A short introduction to SAP MII

● A description of the software units for SAP MII

● The software component matrix that provides the information on which components are

used in the business scenarios and if the corresponding component is mandatory or optional

● Minimal system landscape information

● The overall implementation sequence for SAP MII

■ Information about the business scenarios

■ List of Documents

This section contains references to documentation related to SAP MII 12.2 and its business scenarios.

■ The Main SAP Documentation Types

This section contains information on the most important documentation types for your SAP

solution.

Constraints

The business scenarios that are presented here serve as an example of how you can use SAP software

in your company. The business scenarios are only intended as a model and do not necessarily run the

way they are described here in your customer-specific system landscape. Ensure to check your

requirements and systems to determine whether the scenarios can be used productively at your site.

Furthermore, we recommend that you test the scenarios thoroughly in your test systems to ensure

they are complete and free of errors before going live.

This Master Guide primarily discusses the overall technical implementation of SAP MII, rather than

its subordinate components. This means that additional software dependencies might exist without

2 SAP MII Overview

SAP MII 12.2 allows you to integrate your plant and enterprise systems and display integrated data to

your employees using SAP NetWeaver. You can use SAP MII to view, measure, and compare the

performance of plants and assets with different automation system infrastructures. SAP MII reduces

the cost of synchronizing plant and enterprise business processes by using the following:

■ Plant system connectors

■ Business logic services

■ Integration scenarios

Software Units

The following software units are required for SAP MII 12.2:

■ SAP NetWeaver Java Application Server

■ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or higher, but not 1.5.0.07, 1.5.0.08, and 1.5.0.09, on your client

machines, and JDK 1.5 on your server

Software Component Matrix

This section provides an overview of the software units used in the SAP MII business scenarios.

For the latest component version and patch level requirements, see the SAP Service Marketplace at

http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks.

NOTE

This Master Guide provides just one way to implement the business scenarios. For other ways to

implement business scenarios, see the Scenario & Process Component List on the SAP Service

Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/scl. The Scenario & Process Component List helps you

to find realization alternatives for SAP solutions, business scenarios, and processes. It shows you

which application components are needed to realize a business scenario or process.

Minimal System Landscape

The minimal system landscape for SAP NetWeaver Java Application Server applies to SAP MII 12.2. For

more information, see the Master Guide for the SAP NetWeaver Java Application Server on the SAP

Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/instguides.

Installation Options with SAP NetWeaver 7.3 (for Java Hubs)

For SAP Business Suite applications as of SAP Business Suite 7 that are based on an Application Server

Java and on hub systems, you can install these applications on SAP NetWeaver 7.3. You can also change

from your current release to SAP NetWeaver 7.3. Changing means upgrading or updating. The

following approaches for system landscapes for SAP NetWeaver 7.3 are possible:

■ Upgrading to SAP NetWeaver 7.3 works for hub systems.

■ Embedded deployment continues to work only for SAP NetWeaver 7.0x releases and their

enhancement packages (this means, for example, for SAP NetWeaver 7.00, SAP NetWeaver 7.01,

and SAP NetWeaver 7.02).

For more information about the technical background, see SAP Note 1468349. There you can find a list

of all the Java hubs that you can install on SAP NetWeaver 7.3.

NOTE

If you want to install Business Suite Java applications, we strongly recommend that you use SAP

NetWeaver 7.3 as the platform for your hub systems.

CAUTION

We strongly recommend that you use a minimal system landscape for test and demo purposes

only. For performance, scalability, high availability, and security reasons, do not use a minimal

system landscape as your production landscape.

Overall Implementation Sequence

The following table describes the overall installation sequence for SAP MII. This table contains all

available software units. However, to run a specific scenario, you only need a subset of available software

units. Some are required only for special processes.

For the latest component version and patch level requirements, see the SAP Service Marketplace at

http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
