This document is intended to provide technical guidance on how to configure the LoadMaster product to provide various Application Delivery network services for SAP application HTTP protocol-based client traffic to SAP backend application systems.

Clients to an SAP backend are typically:

  • End users who are using different browser types to work interactively in SAP systems

  • Other SAP and non-SAP applications connecting using web-services or RESTful Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to an SAP backend system for application integration scenarios

A particularly important use case of application integration is the integration of new SAP cloud-based solutions which SAP applications customers run in their own "on premise" data centers. This document was created from test experiences and results in a representative sample environment which is described later in the document. As this document is not intended to cover every possible deployment scenario, it may not address unique setup or requirements. The Progress Kemp Support Team is available to provide solutions for scenarios which are not explicitly defined in this document.
