Hardware and Software for the Internet Link

The SAP Internet Mail Gateway belongs to the standard system of the R/3 System. In addition you require a mailing program for the Internet link. The gateway is installed together with the mailing program either on an R/3 application server or - like in the graphic - on a separate NT-, Unix- or AS/400 computer. In the last case, both computers must be linked via a TCP/IP connection.

Specify the computer on which you wish to install the Internet Mail Gateway server:

on an R/3 application server

on a separate computer

The computer on which you install the Internet Mail Gateway Server must not have the same system platform as the R/3 application server.

Include in your specifications the activation type with which the SAP Internet Mail Gateway program should run, so that the outgoing Internet messages are transferred from the R/3-System to the mailing program.

When you install the Internet Mail Gateway server on a Windows NT computer, additional software is required. Which software this is depends on the activation type of the RFC destination of the SAP Internet Mail Gateway:

Activation type	Additional software
Registration (recommended)	NT help program Srvany The program is part of the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit.
Start on an explicit host	R/3 stand alone gateway or remote shell server The R/3 stand alone gateway is part of the standard system of the R/3 System. The remote shell server is part of the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit.
