  • Patent number: 11611551
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein describe authenticating a first electronic device based on a push message to a second electronic device. In one implementation, a processor receives a user identifier from a first electronic device. The processor may select a message communication type based on the user identifier and transmit an authentication information request to a second electronic device using a push message communication of the selected message communication type. The processor may authenticate the user based on the received response to the request and transmit information related to the user authentication to the first electronic device.

  • 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.
