Virtual Machine Support for Mobile SDK

View information about support for SAP Mobile Platform running in virtualization system environments

SAP supports SAP Mobile Platform running in a virtualization system environment if:
  • The virtualization system environment is officially certified and approved by the corresponding operating system platform vendor.
  • The operating system running in the virtual machine is officially certified by SAP.
  • The real hardware resources within the virtualization system are properly sized according to the virtualization system vendor's recommendation and properly managed so that it is not overloaded with other virtualized systems.
Note: If SAP is unable to reproduce an issue, the customer may be asked to reproduce the problem running natively on the certified operating system, without the use of a virtualization system.
SAP does not guarantee the performance for any SAP products running on virtual machines.
