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 - as 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.

If you install the Internet Mail Gateway server on a Windows NT computer, additional software is required, depending on the activation type:

Activation type	Additional software
Start on an R/3 application server (recommended)	No additional software is required.
Start on a separate computer	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.
Registering	NT help program Srvany The program is part of the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit.

To be able to use the activation type Registering on AS/400, you also require additional software. See Note 42710 in SAPNet.
