Cost-Effectivness
When Should the Service Be Used?
The SAP ERP Technical Configuration service is usually performed after installing SAP to configure installed NetWeaver functional units. Depending on your operational requirements, you might need to install and configure additional components. When you have finished this configuration, all required components should be ready to run and each component must be enabled to connect to others as required. There are, however, some remaining configuration tasks to further fine-tune your SAP NetWeaver system. These can be done at any point in the SAP Solution Lifecycle.
