# Prerequisites & Limitations

## Prerequisites for Installing the ABAP Agent

To install the ABAP agent, you'll need to meet the following requirements.

***

**System Requirements**

* A provisioned virtual machine with admin permissions.
  * **Important:** When provisioning a new VM for use with the ABAP Agent, make sure the SAP systems are reachable from the VM.
* Operating System:
  * Windows 10 version 1903/19H1 and later
  * Windows Server 2022 and later
* CPU: 8 CPUs (16 CPUs recommended)
* Memory: 16 GB RAM minimum (32 GB RAM recommended)
* Disk Space: 200 GB minimum (1 TB recommended)

***

**SAP Permissions**

The agent requires a dedicated SAP role. Follow the instructions described on page: [Broken mention](broken://pages/JfFkO1xqq9huG22WXqhI).

***

**SAP Version Requirement**

The ABAP Agent relies on **SCMON** for data collection.\
SCMON is available starting from **SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SP08**.

**Therefore, the SAP system must be version 7.4.8 or higher.**

***

**Adapter-Specific Prerequisites**

Some test tool adapters have their own additional, optional prerequisites beyond the base system requirements above. For example, searching a **Certify** test repository requires the Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL19) on the agent host — see [Certify](broken://pages/2Fo3SIuYOOnL4JxVdUmT). The installer checks for these and warns if they're missing, but installation continues either way.

## Limitations and Supported Versions

The following versions are currently supported:

* SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition
* SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management
* SAP ECC (SAP ERP Central Component)
* ABAP that is not executed in BTP or a public cloud environment.

We're actively working on adding support for ABAP that is executed in BTP or a public cloud environment, and this is on our roadmap for future delivery.

Please note the following:

* Playlists: Playlists are not currently supported via the personal agent, but this feature is also on our roadmap.
