Implementation Support 

At regular intervals, you need to realize new functions in your system landscape by adding new systems to an existing landscape or even building a totally new landscape – either by implementing new systems or copying existing ones. Implementation Support offers a process- and tool-oriented approach for implementing and enhancing your system landscape.

In addition, Software Life-Cycle Management (SLM) provides scenario-based implementation support for predefined business content, such as Enterprise Portal (EP) and Business Intelligence (BI) content.

Implementation Support provides you with the necessary infrastructure to create and propagate software changes in your landscape.

Required Usage Types of SAP NetWeaver

For the Software Change Management IT process of this IT scenario variant, the usage type Development Infrastructure (DI) is required.

For other IT processes of this IT scenario variant, no special usage type is required, since they provide functions for implementing systems or copying existing systems with any usage type.

IT Processes of the Scenario Variant

This scenario variant comprises the following IT processes:

Process	What You Need to Know…
Implementation	Implements a new landscape or adds a scenario to your system landscape while reusing existing systems and components
Implementation and Configuration of Business Content	Business configuration is eased by tools that simplify the implementation and configuration of pre-defined business content.

Software Change Management	You can manage the consistent and synchronous flow of object changes in a distributed system environment between different software stages, such as development, consolidation, and production.
