On-premise extractor (legacy) system requirements

Here's a list of system requirements for on-premise SAP Extractor (legacy) and Automation Agent (legacy).

Note

Prerequisites for the JDBC Extractor has been migrated to Prerequisites for on-premise JDBC Extractors.

Tip

Unless you're using an older version of SAP, 4.6C or earlier or you use PI/PO, we recommend installing the SAP Extractor as part of the on-prem client installation process. See On-premises clients (OPC).

Hardware requirements

  • Virtual machine or physical server.

  • CPU: Minimum of an Intel Xeon processor with four cores.

  • RAM: minimum of 16 GB.

  • Disk space: minimum of 110 GB. This can be on a separate partition or network drive.

  • The server needs to be located in the same network as the source systems that you're going to connect.

Operating system and software requirements

Note

The operating system listed below are only suggestion. You may use any operating system which is capable of running Java 21 or later.

  • You need administrative rights for setup.

  • 64-bit operating system:

    • Windows Server: 2019 and 2022. The earliest supported version is 2012 R2.

    • Ubuntu: 18.04 LTS (tested version). Newer versions are supported.

    • Red Hat: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (tested version). Newer versions are supported.

    • SUSE: SUSE Enterprise Linux (SLES) 12 and 15 (tested version). Newer versions are supported.

    • Oracle: Oracle Linux 6 and 7 (tested version). Newer versions are supported.

  • Java: Versions 17 to 21 are supported. We recommend using the newer version if possible.

    Upcoming Java 25 Requirement for OPCs and OPEs

    Starting April 2026, upgrading to the latest On-Premise Client (OPC) or On-Premise Extractor (OPE) will require Java 25. Current installations will remain unaffected (non-breaking change) unless you choose to update to the newest OPC or OPE versions. We will provide finalized Java requirements once the release versions are confirmed.

    While no immediate action is required, we recommend planning your Java environment updates now to ensure a smooth transition.

  • On Windows install both of these Visual C++ packages:

    Note

    We recommend that you download and install these specific versions of both packages. Other versions of these packages may not include some libraries required for the proper running of on-prem clients.
