What is SAP R/3?

SAP R/3 is SAP's integrated software solution for Client/Server and Distributed Open Systems. The software is highly customizable using SAP's proprietary programming language, ABAP/4. R/3 is scalable and highly suited for many types and sizes of organizations.

What Platforms Support SAP R/3?

SAP R/3 was designed for open systems, e.g. UNIX. The architecture is comprised of application and database servers, with individual users established as "clients". The application servers house the software and the database servers handle document updates and master file databases. The system can support an unlimited number of servers and a variety of hardware configurations. The ability to link additional servers to the network allows for unlimited numbers of users, making scalability a major plus in R/3.

SAP R/3 is based on various hardware and software architectures, running on most types of UNIX, on Windows NT and OS/400. Even experimental versions on mainframes (open MVS) exist. R/3 runs on uni-processors, and scales very well on SMP systems and on MPP architectures.

R/3 runs on a variety of databases: Oracle, Informix Online, ADABAS-D (Software AG), DB2 for UNIX, DB2/400, Microsoft's SQL Server 6.0 and on an experimental version on DB2 for MVS.
