System Landscape

SAP Profitability and Performance Management is based on the SAP HANA appliance software, in particular the SAP HANA database, and SAP NetWeaver.

The SAP HANA database must be available and configured with the latest revision of the current support package – at least the revision specified in the release note – before starting the installation of the application.

For more information about the latest revisions to the SAP HANA database, see the SAP HANA Master Guide (Installation of SAP HANA) or SAP HANA Master Update Guide (update of SAP HANA) in the Related Information section below.
