N1 AA Builder

Based on the infrastructure of the N1 AA Manager, there are additional components needed for the N1 AA Builder.

• N1 AA Builder Web Application

  From the technical point of view, this is not an additional component. It is included in the N1 AA Manager which is already registered with the Sun Java Web Console. The N1 AA Builder can be shown or hidden during N1 AA Manager customization. For more information, see the Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions 5.2.1 User’s Guide.

• Sun N1 Service Provisioning System

  The Sun N1 Service Provisioning System (N1 SPS) has to be located on the same server as the N1 AA Server.

• N1 SPS Remote Agents

  The remote agents are located on every N1 AA client. It is a standard component of N1 SPS used for the communication with the clients.

• N1 SPS Java API

  The communication between the N1 AA Builder and N1 SPS is done by the Java API.

• N1 SPS OS Provisioning Plug-In

  The OS Provisioning plug-in is mandatory for the N1 AA Builder. The Builder function, OS Provisioning, is based on OS profiles provided by the SPS OS Provisioning Plug-in.

• Other N1 SPS Plug-Ins

  Additional SPS plug-ins are optional. It depends on the software you want to provision on the servers of your landscape using the N1 AA Builder. For example, if you want to provision Solaris OS patches, you need to install the N1 SPS Solaris Plug-In.
