  • Patent number: 8166457
    Abstract: A method of implementing a complete SAP system landscape on IBM System i is provided. This method involves preselecting at least one value-added reseller (VAR) for participation in implementing the complete SAP system landscape on IBM System i. The VAR then selects values for flexible parameters according to needs of a customer. The flexible parameters include languages for i5/OS and SAP, an amount of SAP ERC Central Component (ECC) systems ranging from one to three, an inclusion of a SAP Solution Manager, a client landscape, a configuration of SAP systems, and a level of software stack. The level of software stack includes a layer of the SAP systems, a layer implementing country-specific configuration, a layer implementing industry-specific configuration, and a layer of VAR added value. Media is created and implemented with the specified content at a factory using standard SAP procedures. A full backup of the SAP systems is then created using standard i5/OS operating system imaging.
