Figure 2   Initial IT infrastructure

Later in this paper, we show all of the tasks and configuration details that are 

required in the environment shown in the figure above to have the IBM Dynamic 

Infrastructure for mySAP environment operational. 

There are several supported topologies for running IBM Dynamic Infrastructure 

for mySAP. Refer to 

IBM Dynamic Infrastructure Enterprise Edition for mySAP 

Business Suite Planning,

 BOEE EUIPL 00 for a list of supported topologies.

The scenario presented in this paper uses the following topology, which in IBM 

Dynamic Infrastructure for mySAP terminology is referred to as 

topology 3

:
