System Requirements and Technical Prerequisites

The requirements listed here are for the current release:

Client Software Requirements

Note

Mobile browsers such as Google Chrome for iOS and Android, and Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android, are not supported. Please use the SAP Analytics Cloud mobile app.

Client Software	Version	Additional Information
Desktop browser	Google Chrome, latest version (see Additional Information)	Google releases continuous updates to their Chrome browser. We make every effort to fully test and support the latest versions as they are released. However, if defects are introduced with OEM-specific browser software, we cannot guarantee fixes in all cases. For additional system requirements, see your web browser documentation.
Desktop browser	New Microsoft Edge, latest version (see Additional Information) (Microsoft Edge browsers based on the Chromium engine)	Microsoft has available for download continuous updates to their new Edge browser. We make every effort to fully test and support the latest versions as they are released.
Operating system	Microsoft Windows 10 or higher Apple OS Catalina (10.15) or higher	SAP Analytics Cloud is not dependent on any specific operating system. All capabilities are accessible through a web browser. For additional system requirements, see your operating system documentation.
Additional software	Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 or higher

Client Configuration Requirements

Client Configuration	Setting	Additional Information
Network bandwidth	Minimum 500-800 kbit/s per user	In general, SAP Analytics Cloud requires no more bandwidth than is required to browse the internet. All application modules are designed for speed and responsiveness with minimal use of large graphic files.
Screen resolution	XGA 1024x768 (high color) or higher Widescreen: 1366x766 or higher
Minimum recommended browser cache size	250 MB	SAP Analytics Cloud is a Web 2.0 application. We recommend allowing browser caching because the application uses it heavily for static content such as image files. If you clear your cache, the browser will not perform as well until the deleted files are downloaded again to the browser and cached for use next time. To set browser cache size, see your browser documentation.
HTTP 1.1	Enable
JavaScript	Enable
Cookies	Enable web browser session cookies (non-persistent) for authentication purposes
Pop-up windows	Allow pop-up windows from SAP Analytics Cloud domains
Power Option Recommendation	High Performance mode for improved JavaScript performance	For Microsoft based Operating Systems
Proxy	Expose path and subpaths for: https://`<TENANT_URL>`/sap/fpa/ui/ https://`<TENANT_URL>`/sap/fpa/services/	For example, viewing model schedule job history requires access to https://`<TENANT_URL>`/sap/fpa/services/.

SAP Digital Boardroom

Screen	Recommend 1920 x 1080 screen resolution or higher. Maximum supported resolution for each screen is 4K resolution (3840 x 2160). For multiple screen support, all screens must be the same resolution.
Recommended Hardware Options	SAP Digital Boardroom runs best in Google Chrome, on a PC with a dedicated video card equivalent in performance to an nVidia GTX 1060 or higher. Complex tiles like maps will load faster with at least 4 GB of video RAM, plus at least 8 GB of system RAM. Digital Boardroom can run at 1080p on most recent PC hardware with a dedicated video card. When the screens are connected to a Windows 10 or higher PC, SAP Digital Boardroom is known to be compatible with screens from vendors including Microsoft, LGE, Samsung, Benq, Maxhub, Planar, Sharp, and Lang AG. Specific screen models are not tested by SAP, and rely on the display and touch drivers included with Windows. For information about different screen setups and how to configure them, see Setting Up Displays for Digital Boardroom.

Smart Predict

Recommendations:

To maintain adequate system performance, each tenant of SAP Analytics Cloud utilizing Smart Predict features, should use no more than 50 node hours per month for the purpose of generating predictive models or applying predictive models to new datasets. Exceeding this may result in performance degradation.

A node hour is defined as the number of hours (rounded up to the nearest hour) of infrastructure resources which are dedicated to the generation or application of machine learning models in SAP Analytics Cloud. The duration of all machine learning model training and scoring workloads in a given month shall be computed and rounded to the nearest hour to determine total node hours per month.

Smart Predict on live SAP HANA

Smart Predict on live SAP HANA is included with the 2019 Q4 quarterly release of SAP Analytics Cloud. It is now possible to connect Smart Predict to SAP HANA tables and SQL views.
Smart Predict Live currently works today against on-premise SAP HANA.
Regarding SAP BW on HANA and SAP BW/4HANA customers, please note:
- SAP wants to make it possible for SAP BW customers to benefit from Smart Predict capabilities.
- It is intended that Smart Predict will initially support SAP BW using calculation views. However, as Smart Predict does not support calculation views today and because SAP BW customers with SAP HANA runtime licenses do not have the right to create tables or SQL views directly, it is not possible for SAP BW customers on HANA Runtime licenses to use Smart Predict today.
- SAP BW customers with SAP HANA Enterprise Edition or SAP HANA Prediction Option licenses have the right to create table & SQL views. Smart Predict on live SAP HANA can be used by these customers from Q4 2019.
