Managed Systems Footnotes
1: Tier 1 platforms are recommended for new installations. New OS release date needs to be later than the product release date.
2: Tier 2 platforms are not recommended for new installations due to manufacturer support level, age or market share. Long term, such platforms may degrade to Tier 3.
3: Tier 3 platforms are no longer supported by their manufacturer. Redwood may be forced to discontinue support for these platforms when resources (hardware, software) are no longer available. Redwood will support these according to “best effort” only. Some features may be unavailable on these platforms due to lack of OS support.
4: Any database.
5: Support for creating and modifying SAP Mass Activities (SAP IS-U) parameter sets has been disabled until further notice. Exception: customers already using this in combination older transports can continue to do so.
