Kurt, thank you for joining us today! Before you respond to questions, I'd like to start with one that stems from your session at GRC 2011:

Can you go over the details of what is now on Java and what pieces of GRC run on ABAP?

Hi everybody, first question from my side: Which version of SAP NW is required? ...7.02?

On the Access Control 5.3 question, there is an issue that SAP is aware of that they are working on to create a support pack that will enable 5.3 to be compatible with Process Control 10.0.  At Timken, we will upgrade Access Control after implementing Process Control so both are on 10.0 in order to avoid any other compatibility issues.

Hi Allison and thanks for your question, this is a good one.  The previous version of GRC Access Control (5.3, 5.2, 5.1) runs on the SAP Netweaver JAVA stack.  But now with SAP GRC 10.0, the Access Control components are now running on the SAP Netweaver ABAP stack.  This is a big improvement.  So now, the entire Suite of GRC products run on the ABAP stack which includes Process Control, Risk Management, and Access Control.  GTS also runs on the same ABAP system if desired.  This simplifies the system landscape and the maintenance.  Big advantage is the improved integration of all the products together including RAR, CUP, ERM, and SPM which are now together as one suite.  The only need for a JAVA stack is to support the Portal part (which is now optional) and the Adobe document services if needed for your scenarios.

Kurt Hollis.
