Landscape Planner objectivesWhy use this tool?

A graphical landscape planning tool, showing technical systems, their

details and dependencies.Landscape Planner addresses the following challenges that customerscurrently face:

How do I get an understanding of systems in the landscape, both at ahigh-level and low level?

How can I document the current landscape and use this as a basis for

planning any changes? How can I plan changes, analyze the impact, and communicate the

results for execution?

Use of the Landscape Planner

Reporting on landscape - System types, roles, dependencies,landscape patterns, etc.

Planning changes in the landscape by IT Project Manager, BusinessProcess Expert, IT Administrator, IT Architect,

for SAP Products

Allow flexibility by offering different deployment options (not one-size-fits-all)

Provide guidanceby rating different options

Ease decisionsby listing pros & cons

Simplify consumptionof information by using a common methodology

Increase reliabilityby considering SAP product strategy, achieved landscape qualities

and cross-product alignment

Clear recommendations by categorization of deployment options

General Recommendation

Best choice for majority of typical

landscape use cases

Recommended by SAPs strategy

Accepted by a wide base of

customersReasonable Alternative Useful choice for certain use

cases or customer scenarios

Supported and confirmed by

SAPs strategy

Possible Exception

Only useful for specific use cases

Supported by SAP, but limitations

might occur

Outlining main important aspects

Optimal trade-off between flexibility and simplicity

Applied to main building blocks of SAP products

Alternative deployment options typically have different pros & cons

LANDSCAPE RECOMMENDATIONS

Generic landscape recommendations for Process Integration, Business Process

Composition, and Process Orchestration

Process Integration / Process Orchestration


33/55

Process Integration / Process OrchestrationSingle Hub Installation


Shared usage for both A2A and B2B, stateless and stateful processing

Deployed as a central system

ESR/SR included

Benefits

Less complex system architecture

Central governance of meta data

Central configuration, monitoring, and administration

Support for stateless message processing, and statefulmessage orchestration

Considerations

Installation of additional SAP NetWeaver usage typesnot supported

For Process Orchestration, system sizing andconfiguration must reflect both human-centric andintegration-centric scenarios

g /Single Hub with Additional Adapter Engines

(Distributed Landscape)


Single hub system with additional multiple non-central adapter engines Use cases: localization, business continuity, security*

Benefits

Centralized governance, maintenance, and monitoring

De-coupled runtimes and distributed load

Separating pure messaging from process orchestration

Localization: Reduced message travel time and reducednetwork load in global networks

Localization: Local AAEs serve local business needs

Business continuity: Minimize planned downtime via switchover

Security: Secure deployment of AAE instances in DMZenforcing network isolation for B2B scenarios

Considerations

BPM/ccBPM scenarios require central ProcessIntegration/Process Orchestration runtime

For Process Orchestration, two Integrated ConfigurationObjects required for scenarios spanning both AdapterEngines

* Refer to how-to guide on SCN, see additional information

Example



35/55

Process Integration / Process OrchestrationMultiple Hub Installation (Federated Landscape)

Benefits

Separation of Process Integration/Process Orchestration

systems due to different reasons, such as technicalaspects, business requirements or geographicaldistribution

Systems can be optimized for their respective use case

ESR can be connected to multiple systems

Central development and service design

Considerations

Central ESR requires at least SAP NetWeaver 7.31

Installation of additional SAP NetWeaver usage typesnot supported

Increased TCO due to additional administration effort
