The Authorization Process Manager consists of two parts: 1) a certified ABAP add-on and 2) a web application. The ABAP add-on is installed on every system where the APM is to be used and can be provided for SAP_BASIS versions 6.20, 6.40 and 7.00. The web application runs on a Windows server running MySQL, Apache and Zend Core (PHP). The web application can be hosted either internally by the customer or externally by AppliCon Solutions.
