- SAP industry solutions like IS-U, IS-R, etc. are supported.
- SAP Releases 4.6C and newer are supported.
- All operating systems are supported.

Disclaimer
While SAP versions that are no longer supported by SAP still work with Theobald Software products, they are excluded from the Theobald Software support service.
Not Supported SAP Systems
The following SAP Systems are not supported:
- SAP systems that don’t run on ABAP systems
- SAP systems that don't provide RFC connectivity.

- Analysis Views
- Calculation Views
- Associated Attribute Views
Direct access to a HANA database without an SAP ABAP source system running on the corresponding HANA database is not supported.
